The 15th Annual Interfaith Communities United Breakfast on September 12 at First Congregational Church in Oakland was an occasion for East Bay Housing Organizations (EBHO) members and partners to gather and share housing solutions for Alameda and Contra Costa counties. There were powerful stories from Taqwaa Bonner, Mary Stackiewicz, Cortney Glenn and Will Beal, and Po-Poets Tiny Gray Garcia, Leroy Moore, Aunti Frances Moore and Muteado Silencio. Spiritual grounding was provided by ICU Member Carol Robison and the voices of each person in the room raised in song. Jessica Sterling, JCRC Public Affairs and Community Engagement Associate, East Bay, was invited to blow the shofar and reflect on the long-term commitment we make when we recognize injustice and start the work to make it right. Below is a transcript of her reflections:
By Jessica Sterling
Everyone is on a journey. Each person on their own path. Journeys happen for everyone at different times and under different circumstances. I'm reflecting today on the Journey Home from a Jewish faith perspective.
Paraphrased from the article, The Rhythm of Jewish Time: Journeys and Dreams, by Rabbi Steven Moskowitz: Early on, God promises that we will find fulfillment in a new land. God tells Abraham, "Go forth from your native land and from your father's house to the land that I will show you." Full of faith, Abraham and his children and his children's children build a new life in a new land. For generations our ancestors built a home in this Promised Land. But then, along the way, they become slaves in Egypt until hundreds of years later when God rescues them and promises to return them to this land. The remainder of the Torah, actually the majority of the Torah, is about this journey home.
So journeying home is in our DNA, apparently, and this can explain a lot about the pattern of wandering after displacement. About resettling after expulsion. About adapting to new cultures and about how to keep rituals and ancient cultures alive.
JCRC's contribution is to make certain core traditional values foundational to our mission and vision. The backbone of JCRC is an Assembly of nearly 100 members that is constructed of at-large and organizational representatives. The Assembly tackles issues in the region, the state, and the nation that it feels would benefit from a Jewish perspective. Each issue that the Assembly works on takes about a year, sometimes more or less, and is researched, discussed, disputed and then voted on. A 75 percent affirmative vote passes the statements which are then used when issues come up that JCRC weighs in on. A few examples are: Democracy statement, Gun Violence statement, Immigrant Rights statement and one that I will touch on in a minute, the Economic Justice statement.
Today we are nearly halfway through the Hebrew month of Elul, the month directly preceding the High Holy Days of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. This month has a deep significance in that it is a time of self-reflection. An inward journey home. A return to self. We blow the shofar as a wake-up call, we meditate, we pray and we forgive. Forgive the world, our friends, family and neighbors and we forgive ourselves. It is a time to begin again. We've made mistakes, we've strayed from the path and we are ready to make another try at being our better selves.
Focusing on the work that EBHO engages in on affordable housing, in partnership with all of you, I refer to JCRC's statement on Economic Justice which touches on many topics and includes details about Homelessness and Quality Affordable Housing.
A few excerpts from the statement on the topic of affordable housing include: "We believe the government should provide funding and create policies for ensuring affordable housing, including both increasing production of new affordable housing and preserving and rehabilitating existing housing. We believe: Special focus should be given to ensuring low- and moderate-income earners can thrive in the communities in which they work, ensuring senior and family housing is preserved, and enforcing legal obligations to keep housing affordable and to replace lost units. Surplus public land in quickly growing areas should be made available for affordable housing sites, including transit agency properties. No new housing sites should be built on or near any site that is environmentally hazardous. All rental units should meet health and safety standards. All home buyers should be protected from predatory lending."
A few excerpts from the Economic Justice statement about homelessness include: "We believe homelessness is a complex problem that requires a regional approach. We support the creation of safe and secure shelters for people who are homeless. Shelters should connect people with social services and long‐term housing and provide secure places for their belongings. We believe that the government must invest adequate resources to address homelessness. Wrap around services for homeless individuals—including housing, mental and physical healthcare, and job training and placement—are needed to move people from homelessness towards self‐sufficiency. It is important that these services are provided without criminalizing homelessness or infringing on the rights of homeless individuals." JCRC turns to this statement when advocating for fair and just housing for all when we meet with members of Congress, Senators and State Assemblymembers. We promote events that support affordable housing, and we are members of East Bay Housing Organizations.
Communities in Alameda and Contra Costa counties include jobs that are minimum wage through high-level salaries. There is also a need for housing for all wage-earning residents, however our counties are behind and have not developed nor offer enough affordable housing. In addition, the communities need programs to train and stabilize residents who require assistance. The community relies on all jobs being filled and those who can take the lower salaried jobs such as food service workers, those in the hotel industry, teachers and the like are necessary parts of our lives and these people deserve the opportunity to live in the community that they work in.
We have a long journey ahead. As we learned from Rabbi Tarfon in the Pirkei Avot, "You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to desist from it."

Maria z Nazaretu, Maria (Maryja) Panna, Święta Dziewica, jest w kalwinizmie szanowana jako wzór wiary, lecz nie jest otaczana kultem.

Kościoły ewangelicko-reformowane mają swój początek w XVI-wiecznej reformacji protestanckiej, która powstała w wyniku sprzeciwu m.in. wobec (zdaniem reformatorów) nadmiernie rozwiniętego katolickiego kultu maryjnego. Kalwinizm był tworem
następnego po Lutrze pokolenia reformatorów, dlatego teologia kalwinizmu w jeszcze większym stopniu niż luteranizm, zerwała z katolicką tradycją maryjną.

Podstawy mariologii
W kalwinizmie maryjne rozważania teologiczne mają niewielkie znaczenie. Mariologia kalwińska, która nie stanowi odrębnego działu teologii, opiera się na:

 Biblii, która w opinii apologetów kalwińskich nie zawiera dostatecznego potwierdzenia roli i znaczenia, przypisywanych Marii Pannie w katolicyzmie.
 podstawach teologii reformowanej takich jak m.in.: Institutio religionis christianae (Nauka religii chrześcijańskiej) Kalwina (1536), Katechizm Heidelberski (1563) i tzw. II Helweckie wyznanie wiary (1566).
 odrzuceniu całej Tradycji katolickiej i przyjęciu zasady "podwójnej predestynacji" (zasada ta jest nie uznawana przez większość współczesnych Kościołów kalwińskich).
 maryjnych rozważaniach teologicznych, poczynając od założyciela kalwinizmu Jana Kalwina, poprzez Karla Bartha aż do czasów współczesnych.
 zasadzie ciągłej zmienności i dostosowywania doktryny do zmieniających się epok i ich uwarunkowań (Ecclesia reformata et semper reformanda). Ogólnie kalwinizm cechuje się większą swobodą interpretacji doktryny i mniejszą jej kodyfikacją, niż np. luteranizm.

Opinie wczesnych teologów kalwińskich
Opinie teologów wczesnego okresu kalwinizmu (XVI-XVII w.) cechowały się z jednej strony dystansem do zewnętrznego, materialnego kultu maryjnego, a z drugiej strony podkreślały wyjątkowość i wybranie Marii, jej wieczne dziewictwo i świętość.

Jan Kalwin
Kalwin najczęściej opisuje Marię w swoich pismach jako "Świętą Dziewicę". Chociaż Kalwin nie głosił tak wyraźnie i otwarcie jak Luter chwały Marii Panny, to nie zaprzeczał jej wieczystemu dziewictwu i stosował wobec niej określenie "Matka Boga". Odrzucał jako "heretyckie" poglądy o tym, że Maria jakoby urodziła Jezusowi braci i siostry (Komentarz do Ewangelii Mateusza, 13:55). Uznawał, że nie chodzi tu o rzeczywiste rodzeństwo Jezusa, lecz o jego kuzynów lub krewnych. (Komentarz do Ewangelii Jana,7:3).

 Nie można zaprzeczyć, że Bóg wybierając i przeznaczając Marię na Matkę swego Syna, wyróżnił ją najbardziej jak to możliwe. (Calvini Opera, Corpus Reformatorum, 1863, t. 45, str. 348.)

 Również dzisiaj nie możemy cieszyć się błogosławieństwem przyniesionym nam w Chrystusie, nie myśląc jednocześnie o tym, co Bóg dał jako chwałę i cześć Marii, decydując, aby to ona stała się Matką swego Jednorodzonego Syna. (Jan Kalwin, A Harmony of Matthew, Mark and Luke (St. Andrew's Press, Edinburgh, 1972), s.32)

Jednocześnie Kalwin odrzucał doktrynę o niepokalanym poczęciu Marii Panny oraz nie uznawał jej wstawiennictwa ani pośrednictwa w myśl zasady Solus Christus. Kalwin wierzył, że Maria Panna potrzebuje łaski Bożej tak samo, jak każdy inny człowiek i dlatego nie może pośredniczyć w modlitwach wiernych do Chrystusa. Sprzeciwiał się jakimkolwiek modlitwom do Marii, twierdząc że modlitwy do innych istot niż Bóg, są wzbronione. Stanowczo odrzucał wszelkie katolickie formy kultu maryjnego.

Ulrich Zwingli
Zwingli miał podobne poglądy, jak Kalwin na temat Marii: uznawał ją za szczególnie uhonorowaną i wyróżnioną przez Boga, za czystą Dziewicę, która taką była zawsze "przez całą wieczność". (Zwingli Opera, Corpus Reformatorum, tom 1, s. 424]: "Mówię o tym w świętym Kościele Zurychu i we wszystkich moich pracach: uznaję Marię jako zawsze Dziewicę i świętą". (styczeń 1528 r.), "cenię ogromnie Bogarodzicę, zawsze czystą, Niepokalaną Dziewicę Marię", "Chrystus ... narodził się z Dziewicy najbardziej nieskalanej", "Im bardziej cześć i miłość do Chrystusa wśród ludzi rośnie, tym bardziej szacunek i cześć dla Marii rośnie, bo zrodziła dla nas tak wielkiego, ale tak współczującego Pana i Odkupiciela. (Zwingli Opera, Corpus Reformatorum, Berlin, 1905, t. 1, s. 427-428).

Heinrich Bullinger
Heinrich Bullinger, następca Zwingliego i autor II Helweckiego Wyznania Wiary, uznawał Marię za "najbardziej wyjątkową i najszlachetniejszą" wśród chrześcijan, za Dziewicę, całkowicie uświęconą przez łaskę i krew Syna swego jedynego i obficie obdarzoną darami Ducha Świętego, która "teraz żyje szczęśliwie z Chrystusem w niebie i nazywa się i pozostaje na zawsze Dziewicą i Matką Bożą."

Potwierdzał też wniebowzięcie Maryi: "Uważamy, że czysta i nieskazitelna postać Matki Bożej, Dziewicy Marii, świątyni Ducha Świętego, to znaczy jej świętego ciała, została uniesiona do nieba przez aniołów ..."

Ikonoklazm
W przeciwieństwie do luteranizmu, Kalwin był otwarcie wrogi wobec jakichkolwiek ozdób, rzeźb lub obrazów w kościołach (ikonoklazm). Kalwin uznał kult obrazów i rzeźb religijnych, w tym wizerunków maryjnych, za "herezję". Powoływał się przy tym na mojżeszowy Dekalog, zakazujący wykonywania podobizn "stworzeń Bożych".Wszystkie obrazy i rzeźby w kościołach w Genewie zostały zniszczone na jego polecenie w 1535 r. Decyzję Soboru Nicejskiego z 787 r. ustanawiającą dekorowanie kościołów obrazami i malowidłami, Kalwin w 1550 r. uznał za "nielegalną". Do dzisiaj kościoły kalwińskie charakteryzują się brakiem jakichkolwiek dekoracji wewnątrz; jeśli znajduje się w nich krzyż, to zawsze bez postaci Chrystusa.

Rozwój teologii maryjnej w kalwinizmie
W następnych stuleciach, wobec narastających konfliktów między wyznaniami chrześcijańskimi, z jednej strony nasilał się radykalizm kalwiński (negujący wszelką wyjątkowość Marii), a z drugiej strony rozwijał się nurt bliski wczesnemu kalwinizmowi, który podkreślał fakt szczególnego, predestynowanego wybrania Marii na Matkę Boga.

Charles Drelincourt
Charles Drelincourt (1633-1697), francuski duchowny i teolog, potwierdzał wieczne dziewictwo Marii, jak również jej wyjątkową pozycję:

 My nie tylko wierzymy, że Bóg wyróżnił świętą i błogosławioną Dziewicę bardziej niż wszystkich patriarchów i proroków, ale również, że wywyższył ją nad wszystkich Serafinów. Aniołowie mogą być uznani tylko za sługi Syna Bożego, stworzenie i dzieło Jego rąk, ale święta Dziewica jest nie tylko sługą i stworzeniem, ale także Matką tego wielkiego i żywego Boga.

Karl Barth
Najważniejszy teolog kalwiński XX w. Karl Barth, w przeciwieństwie do większości teologów protestanckich, poświęcił wiele uwagi rozważaniom mariologicznym. Barth zgadzał się całkowicie z większością katolickich poglądów maryjnych, np. o wiecznym dziewictwie, podkreślając słuszność tytułu "Matka Boga" (gdyż tego wymaga wiara w nierozłączność boskiej i ludzkiej natury Chrystusa). Potwierdzał, że Maria jest "pełna łaski", ale uznawał tę łaskę za daną jej od Boga. Jednocześnie ostro krytykował katolicki kult maryjny uważając, że zagraża on czystości wiary chrześcijańskiej i odbiera cześć należną Chrystusowi.

Max Thurian
Max Thurian (1921-1996) był kalwińskim teologiem i jednym z przywódców ekumenicznej Wspólnoty Taizé. Podczas Soboru Watykańskiego II został zaproszony przez papieża Pawła VI do udziału w reformach liturgicznych Kościoła katolickiego. Zapoczątkowało to proces duchowej ewolucji Thuriana, który w dniu 12 maja 1988 r. przyjął katolicyzm i  następnie został wyświęcony na księdza katolickiego. Jego książka: Maria: Matka wszystkich chrześcijan (wydana w 1963 r.) została napisana jako ekumeniczne studium maryjne i uznana powszechnie za jedno z najlepszych teologicznych studiów maryjnych nie tylko protestanckich, lecz także katolickich. W tym dziele pisze on:

 W odniesieniu do doktryny maryjnej reformatorów, widzieliśmy już, jak są jednomyślni we wszystkim, co dotyczy świętości Marii i jej wieczystego dziewictwa. Niezależnie od pozycji teologicznych, które zajmujemy dzisiaj, w odniesieniu do Niepokalanego Poczęcia i Wniebowzięcia NMP, powinniśmy wiedzieć, być może ku naszemu wielkiemu zaskoczeniu, że te dwa dogmaty katolickie zostały zaakceptowane przez niektórych reformatorów, oczywiście nie w swojej obecnej formie, ale z pewnością w formie, która istniała w ich czasach" (Max Thurian, Maria: Matka wszystkich chrześcijan, s. 197).

Jednocześnie teolog ostrzegał przed zbyt daleko idącą "niebiblijną" idealizacją postaci Marii, co mogłoby odsuwać na dalszy plan jej prawdziwe człowieczeństwo.

Maria w ujęciu kalwińskim
 jest Matką Syna Bożego, wybraną przez Boga;
 jest świętą, czystą, zawsze Dziewicą (Maria semper virgine);
 jest wzorem cnót chrześcijańskich, godnym naśladowania.

Brak jakiegokolwiek kultu maryjnego. Odrzucane są takie pojęcia jak niepokalane poczęcie, wniebowzięcie, orędownictwo i pośrednictwo Marii u Boga, nadawanie Marii tytułów królewskich. Nie ma specjalnych modlitw i nabożeństw maryjnych ani żadnej ikonografii maryjnej w kościołach. Imię Marii podczas nabożeństw pojawia się tylko w odczytywanych fragmentach Biblii, które to imię zawierają.

One of the solitary essential ideas in company is the sales funnel. Sales funnels can raise your earnings online by automating your organisation. They supply a course of least resistance to expanding and also scaling your service on auto-pilot. But after hanging around with a few of the globe's finest marketing professionals, I can inform you with near assurance, not just exactly how sales funnels will allow you to make even more loan online, however which certain funnels you should apply.
Currently, if you're anything like me, you could be averse to specific funnels. For example, I'm never an e-commerce guy, but I do know that free-plus-shipping funnels are absolutely squashing it. As a matter of fact, just this previous week, while going to the Closing Table Mastermind with Perry Belcher as well as Roland Frasier, I obtained extra insight right into the alluring "tripwire" funnel, supposedly coined by Perry Belcher.
However, Belcher didn't invent the concept. He drew that from an old Columbia House ad that sold 13 CDs or tapes for the big price of $1.00. Remember it? However most of us recognize that this alluring offer (aka tripwire) had method much more to it than just the $1.00 cost. In the background, there was a connection program at the workplace. In Columbia House's' version, this was called negative choice payment. That indicates, you automatically get regular monthly deliveries (together with an expense) unless you expressly specify otherwise.
So why is this so effective and what does it have to do with sales funnels? As a matter of fact, what you'll notice is that Columbia House's sales funnel was quite easy. You simply selected the CDs or tapes you desired for a dollar, after that obtained a regular month-to-month delivery every month at a pre-defined rate. They would continuously bill you for those CDs or tapes every month. There were variations of this offer also where you can get hold of 11 CDs or tapes for one dime after that get the 12th complimentary.
Either way you look at it, these were all tempting offers. This was too excellent to miss. But what Columbia House as well as other firms realized was that, although they would shed loan out of the gate, they would certainly, on average, gradually, earn money turn over first. And that is the power of the sales funnel. Prior to automation, this is exactly how sales funnels worked. And, if you hired, you would get a live individual effectively strolling you through the funnel.
The Columbia House instance uses deep insight into the psychology of a deal that's irresistible. By very first determining the life time value of a client and their retention price, Columbia House identified that it could invest a specific quantity of money acquiring customers and also still be highly profitable. That's basically what's performed with sales funnels today. And what truly makes those sales funnels so effective are tripwires.
Today, it's the tripwire that develops the alluring offer. Although Columbia House didn't fairly have major up-sells or down-sells in their funnels, they created a basic two action funnel that functioned. It worked due to the fact that the tripwire was so attractive. It appealed deeply to the customer. Besides, just how can you resist an offer like that for 12 or 13 CDs or tapes for $1 or 1 cent when they were retailing at around $10 each at the time.
An additional powerful instance of this was via Sports Illustrated. Actually, Sports Illustrated was properly on the decrease at the time it introduced its revolutionary tripwire. There's something concerning concrete items that people just get in touch with. Even when you're using a digital info product on the backside, by sweetening the manage a concrete great, you can fairly actually send your conversions through the roof.
In the example of Sports Illustrated, take on your own back to 1990 when magazine membership prices were starting to leave. Because duration, Sports Illustrated suffered a 7% decrease in their circulation in the initial half of the year. Currently, regardless of what they did, they were unable to get the registration rates up. Also by supplying deep discount rates on registrations, consumers weren't grabbing it. And also, if they marked down as well steeply, it would impact their capability to get advertisers paying premium rates without showing that customers were paying near the full cover price of the magazine.
Sports Illustrated, had by Time, Inc., had not been the only magazine that was experiencing under the company's umbrella. People publication had also experienced an extreme decrease of 5%. Time, Inc., recognized that it required to do something quick. So it began to supply a tripwire that included sports bloopers on VHS. However, the price was outrageous and also there were only numerous mistakes it can offer. So, they looked to the football phone as the new tripwire.
Why the football phone? Initially, it attracted the target market. As well as, it was special and amazing. Far more interesting than a dull magazine membership. The football-shaped phone idea was conceived by Sports Illustrated's supervisor of flow at the time, Michael Loeb. Back then, marketing on cable was additionally very low-cost. And also, the phone, which was sourced from China, just cost a few dollars "landed". So it all made sense.
Loeb dealt with the logistics of this deal for several months. However, that wasn't the only deal. They also created an offer that included a tennis shoe phone. If you'll reflect to 1990-1991, it was both uses that were running virtually simultaneously. Speak about an early-on split-test, right?
So, what were the results of all this? Over 1 million brand-new clients. That's right. And also those offers only competed a minimal time. However it properly saved the firm. That's the power of a tripwire offer. It's a substantial item that obtains people thrilled concerning whatever else the core offer is. In fact, some people will just purchase what you're marketing exclusively for the novelty of the tangible tripwire deal.
Sales funnels are just one of the solitary most effective principles in company today for a very particular reason. It's not just the example of the tripwire that's effective. It's the whole kittycat cheat, so to speak. There are so many components as well as elements to what make a sales funnel job so well that I wanted to break it down as well as offer some more instances to give a deeper understanding to exactly how you can use them to boost your income online.
Now, if you're not making use of a sales funnel today, or if you're simply uncovering what a sales funnel is, after that there are a few methods you can rapidly utilize this powerful principle in your company to develop eruptive outcomes. Most importantly, if you do not have a ClickFunnels account, go right here as well as sign up for the 14-day cost-free test. Once you have actually setup your account, grab a custom-made domain name and also start constructing your funnel. If you require aid, watch a few of the on-boarding video clips consisted of with ClickFunnels.
It matters not if you have an existing service or you're functioning to setup a new company, funnels are the trick to growing as well as scaling no matter where you're beginning with. Nonetheless, there are 5 certain means you can make use of sales funnels to enhance your earnings now. It doesn't matter what business you remain in or what you're offering, you can leverage these today, right now, to create explosive outcomes.
At the Inner Circle mastermind this week, Russell Brunson dissected the hook-story-offer strategy that comes before constructing the funnel. Can you build a sales funnel before you have a hook and a story? Yes. However you might have difficulty acquiring grip, especially if you're completing in a red ocean. Red seas are entrepreneur-infested waters contending for the exact same pool of consumers, whereas blue seas are a location where few entrepreneurs are swimming in.
What does that inform you? Spend the time on the hook and also the story. Yes, the deal is likewise essential. Yet it's the hook and the tale that's going to reel potential customers in. For instance, Brunson made use of the story of fit-to-fat-to-fat owner, Drew Manning. Manning, who was in excellent form, went out there and got a lot of weight over a 6 month period to better comprehend what it feels like to be fat. But then he went out there as well as lost all the weight.
That right there is an incredible hook and tale. It's special. As well as, because of that, Manning has actually experienced a meteoric surge, even though his deal isn't that excellent. But when the hook as well as the story is so excellent, the deal is practically useless. Properly, you can offer just about anything when the hook as well as the tale just squash it. One more instance is the story of Robert Allen that would always say he can be dropped in any kind of city in the nation as well as purchase a home no money down within 60 days. Which's exactly what he did. His brand name has done over a billion dollars in sales because of it.
Those are all excellent hooks as well as tales. Without that, your deal will certainly struggle. If you can create a special method to develop your hook and also story, the rest will form. Since there is so much red ocean out there, this is most likely one of one of the most crucial points to make before you launch any sales funnel.
Tripwires are wonderful low-barrier-of-entry products that make leads take out their credit cards. Usually, these are too-good-to-pass-up items that are used at an unbelievable price. Simply think about the tripwire used by Columbia House or Sports Illustrated, for instance. Tripwires assist make it easier to acquire brand-new clients, and then to ascend them up your value ladder.
Anything that makes client acquisition more difficult, such as an expensive services or product out of the gate, is mosting likely to make growing as well as scaling your company more difficult. The reality is that it costs 5 times as much to attract a new customer as it does to retain an existing one. That's why tripwires are so effective. They lower the barrier-of-entry right into your service. And anything that can lower the obstacle of access is always excellent.
An additional excellent way to launch a sales funnel and conveniently enhance your revenue no matter what organisation you're in is via a lead magnet. The lead magnet requires to include genuine value. However it can be in different formats such as a PDF book, list, rip off sheet and so on. After the download, you can provide a single offer. This indicates a three-step funnel. You might additionally create an up-sell if they take the single offer or even a payment-plan down-sell if they decline it.
Why do a lead magnet with loads of value? First, you're setting on your own up as a professional. If that web content is really workable, and it includes a substantial quantity of value to the possibility's life, after that they're mosting likely to view you as the authority. However it does something much more than that. It refers micro-commitments. The concept? Obtain someone to concur to do 3 tiny points for you as well as the 4th one is instantaneously an indeed.
One of one of the most effective sales funnels you can build is based around the webinar. In fact, it was the webinar that conserved Brunson's business from bankruptcy a couple of times. It was a mix and conclusion of knowledge that lead to the ideal webinar script, which develops the basis for the utmost sales funnel. A few of it came from Jason Fladlien, while various other pieces originated from somewhere else in Brunson's journey.
Nonetheless, all that details incorporated into the style of a perfect webinar as well as funnel, has essentially changed the businesses of numerous entrepreneurs who have actually taken their knowledge and also monetized it through the rapid pressure of webinars. Developing a webinar is one of the surest paths to success with a sales funnel. Actually, the webinar funnel is rather perhaps one of the most transformative funnel you could release for any organisation, new or old.
Another method to enhance your income with a sales funnel is to develop a high-ticket coaching funnel that goes from application to call to close.
The application enables you to weed out those who aren't major. As well as, on the telephone call, you can close the deal. Currently, this sort of sales funnel jobs if you have actually already had outcomes with clients. If not, benefit free until you obtain outcomes for individuals. Then, gather testimonies as well as use those as part of the pitch for the training.
Possibly among the most significant as well as most prominent sales funnels nowadays is the free-plus-shipping offer funnel. It makes a great entry point into any funnel by creating an one-time deal or up-sell after the deal, similar to a tripwire funnel. Nonetheless, the difference below is the power of words complimentary. Yes, tripwires, which are extremely affordable service or products, function well. Yet there is real power in the word complimentary.
In fact, people will certainly lift as well as down for a complimentary offer, even if they have to cover the delivery and handling, in contrast to taking an offer that they even have to pay a small quantity of money for.


Grease is a thick and oily substance usually used as a lubricant. As a true sample of grease, it must contain either oil and/or other lubricants usually mixed using a thickener, usually a soap so as to form a solid or semisolid substance.
Greases come in different types depending on the manufacturing and preparation processes. The two main ones that most people confuse are the dielectric grease and silicone grease with some interchanging each for the other. In light of this, you can read through and get the notable differences between them.
Dielectric grease is some translucent substance that is used to seal electrical conductors to prevent dust, sand, dirt, or other foreign materials from sticking to the conductor. It also prevents the conductor from transferring a current between the contact points. Also, the dielectric grease blocks moisture, preventing corrosion in the process.
Since the grease is translucent, some light passes through it causing distortion. It is usually grey in appearance.
The dielectric grease's main uses are lubrication, insulation, and protection of hardware from natural elements and foreign materials. It can also be used for extra applications, but it is mostly used in spark plug protection so as to allow the plugs to slide into their ceramic containers and protect it from compromising foreign objects. In general, the grease is used in any situation where electrical components such as processors, cables, or terminals come into contact with moisture.
Silicone grease is a waterproof grease that is prepared by combining silicone oils with a thickener. Usually, the silicone oil is polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and the thickener used is usually amorphous fumed silica. With this formulation, the silicone grease comes out as a white viscous paste with exact properties that are dependent on the proportion and type of the components.
Silicone grease is used mostly in industries, chemical laboratories, and several other consumer areas. In industries, it is used to lubricate and preserve rubber parts that include O-rings. Since it does neither swells nor softens rubber, it is used in place of greases that are hydrocarbon-based. It also functions better as a lubricant and corrosion-inhibitor for such purposes that need a bit of a thicker lubricant.
In chemical laboratories, silicone grease is used mainly as a provisional sealant as well as a lubricant to interconnect ground glass intersections.
Other uses include daily use of silicone-based lubricants by consumers. Such uses include in applications that the users believe other lubricants that include petroleum jelly may damage some products such as gaskets and latex rubber. The grease may also be useful in lubricating pen filling threads and mechanisms especially the fountain models.
Also, it can be used for sealing and the preservation of O-rings in, for example, plumbing, flashlights, air rifles, and waterproof watches. The common use is the lubrication of threads in water submergible flashlights that are used for spearfishing and diving. The reason why it is used for waterproofing is that of its thick body and the fact that it can't dissolve in water unlike other liquids and most spirits.
For household uses, the common ones are lubricating shower heads, door hinges, threads on the garden hose, and bolts threads.
The two grease types do not conduct electricity.
They are also made to withstand high temperatures.
They are both used for lubrication purposes in different fields.
Both greases do not dissolve in water.
The dielectric grease is a translucent substance used to seal electrical conductors and protect them from dust, sand, dirt, or other foreign materials that might stick to the conductor. The silicone grease, on the other hand, is a waterproof grease that is prepared by combining silicone oils with a thickener and used to lubricate and preserve rubber parts such as O-rings.
The dielectric grease is relatively pricey owing to the nature of its uses while the silicone grease is relatively cheaper.
Dielectric grease does not conduct electricity and stays pliable (it does not cure), while silicone grease does not conduct electricity either but cures to a hard form.
The silicone grease is relatively thick while the dielectric one is less thick.
Upon checking several brands of dielectric grease, you might realize that most of them are based on silicone grease. That would further make the selection and differentiation process problematic. However, with some knowledge of Chemistry with you, it would be easier to identify which is dielectric and which is silicone grease. Also, if you are in the automobile industry, it would be easier for you to identify them too since, for example, the dielectric grease is used there mostly on spark plugs.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Hospital Corporation of America announced Monday plans to acquire Hospital Affiliates International Inc., a subsidiary of INA Corp., in a $650 million transaction that will make HCA the world's largest hospital management company.
Donald S. MacNaughton, chairman of HCA, and Ralph S. Saul, chairman of INA Corp., announced an agreement in principle to merge Hospital Affiliates into an HCA subsidiary.
When the transaction is complete, the giant HCA hospital management conglomerate will have 351 hospitals containing 49,500 beds.
INA will receive $425 million in cash and a number of shares of HCA common stock with a value of $225 million. The number of shares will range from 5,390,000 to 6,660,000.
An INA spokesman said the company agreed to spin off its hospital care operations because the large amounts of cash required for its expansion would compete with the capital requirements of its insurance business.
'The merger will permit us to concentrate on our basic insurance and financial service business, which in 1980 generated more than 90 percent of the company's net income,' Saul said.
Nashville became the nerve center of the world's private health care industry in 1968 with the founding of HCA, Hospital Affiliates, and General Care Corp. HCA bought General Care last year for $78.1 million.
HCA has 197 hospitals with 29,900 beds. HAI has 154 hospitals with 19,600 beds and 19 nursing homes with 2,400 beds.
The advent of Medicare prompted the founding of the three companies during a period when business was good, the stock market was active, and public investment money was readily available.


In the midst of our troubled economy, it's nice to see some good news surfacing for college grads– The average starting salary for the class of 2011 rose 4.8 percent, according to a new report from the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE). Woot woot!
The recent NACE Salary Survey report shows the average salary offer is $51,018, up from $48,661 last year.
Maybe the job market for college grads is looking on the up and up?!
Now, if only I studied computer science or engineering in school. Graduates in the computer science disciplines saw their average offers rise 4.3 percent to $62,328, while engineers saw a 2.5 percent increase to $60,465, according to the report. Not too shabby for a recent grad! And hey– if your major was petroleum engineering, expect to get an average first-time offer of nearly $81,000, the NACE reported.
And humanities and social science buffs, have no fear– your increases are here. The average increase rose 15.3 percent to $40,057, the report noted. And for us liberal arts enthusiasts? We saw a bump, too. English majors had a 6.6 percent increase, with an average offer of $39,611.
Now that we know the salaries are there, now it's just time to get OFFERED the offer– then we're all set.

It was just two or three weeks ago that I sewed an apron for 10-yr old neice Jade….my sister quickly let me know that Carson soon turning 4 would also like an apron. We put our heads together about fabric choice…I found the cowboy boots materials. Then I was back at the sewing machine. The apron arrived on his birthday, Mar 3…..my sister sent me a video of Carson opening his gift and then modeling…..very sweet!! The next day my sister let me know that Carson had been wearing his apron all morning. His grandmother tells me he likes to cook scrambled eggs and pancakes!
I am on a "sewing roll" right now…have a couple more projects lined up.


Three killers have been jailed for a second time after their first murder convictions were quashed as a police officer working on the case hid the fact she knew one of the trial jurors.
Lynford Brewster, 29, died from stab wounds in Llanedeyrn, Cardiff, in 2016.
Jake Whelan, 26, Robert Lainsbury, 25, and Dwayne Edgar, 31, were convicted after a trial at Bristol Crown Court.
All received life sentences, with Whelan given a minimum of 28 years, Lainsbury 26 years and Edgar 25 years.
The re-trial came because South Wales Police Det Con Rebecca Bryant, a liaison officer to Mr Brewster's family, did not disclose that her son's girlfriend was sitting on the jury at Cardiff Crown Court during the original case.
The three men, who were jailed in December 2016, had their convictions quashed as a result and the re-trial - estimated to have cost more than £2,500-a-day - was ordered.
On Tuesday, they were jailed for a second time following a seven-week trial.
Father-to-be Mr Brewster was stabbed during a row with drug dealer Whelan after the three had gone to look for him armed with knives.
The victim's mother, June Whittaker, said: "He was no angel but he was my son, and life has not been the same since his death."
Sentencing, Mr Justice Morris said: "This was a brazen, vicious and brutal attack by the three of you, hunting down an unarmed man who was running away.
"At no stage have any of you shown any remorse for what you have done nor for the enduring misery you have caused others."

These savoury pastry scrolls are really quick to make up and we often make them for lunch, picnics or on the go snacks. They also make really good party food – not only are they easy finger foods, it is nice to offer something savoury and a little bit more filling than chips.
When I make a batch of these I usually freeze half of them so that I have something on hand for school lunch boxes. You can pop these in frozen and they will easily defrost on their own by lunch time.
A mix of whatever is in the fridge!
Preheat your oven to 160C. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
Lay out your sheets of puff pastry and chop up all of your chosen toppings. By the time you have done this the pastry will have thawed enough to use.
Spread your ingredients evenly over the whole sheet. Try to make sure you have something in there to hold your ingredients on – a sauce or cheese.
To make big scrolls you can just roll the whole sheet or for smaller scrolls you can slice your pastry into 3 strips and roll each one individually. Try to keep the roll fairly tight so that your ingredients don't slip out. I like to give mine a little squeeze all along to be sure it is all held together.
Once rolled, brush the outside of your scroll with either egg or butter to give it a nice golden crunch. Then slice the roll into little individual scrolls.
Lay out cut side up on your baking tray, leaving a little space between each one for the pastry to puff. You can give each scroll a little gentle reshaping if they need it before you put them on the tray. Brush the tops with your remaining egg/butter.
Keep an eye on them in the oven as depending on the size of your scrolls and the temperament of your oven, cooking time can differ. I wait for mine to have a dark golden colour before taking them out. This usually takes around 10 minutes for the smaller scrolls.
Get creative with your fillings and you can even make tasty sweet ones like apple and sultana or chocolate.

Whoever said "Those who can't do, teach" has obviously never known the challenge and treasures of teaching!
During my time at UCLA, I have been a member of and then been a board member of the UCLA Writer's Den. Through the organization, I was able to volunteer at a middle school and elementary school in my first year and was eventually able to teach my own fifth-grade class this year.
I started off as a volunteer for a middle school in Watts under a site leader, who eventually became my colleague on the Writer's Den executive board. I later became a regular volunteer at an elementary school located in Westwood and learned the ropes of becoming a creative writing teacher through that site's leader. This year I have had the honor and responsibility of teaching my own class as a site leader, with my own volunteers, and it's one of the most rewarding experiences of my college career.
I began the year with the normal amount of trepidation. Besides feeling excited and major Jess-from-New-Girl vibes, I was generally nervous about being the best teacher for my batch of kids. After a year, I can proudly say that I have a class of entirely intelligent, curious, hilarious and meme-tastic (yes, I do mean that) kiddos.
The biggest project that we have every year, with every volunteering site, is writing short stories that are eventually published in a book. All the students write their own stories and then we collect them to put together in anthologies that are given to the students, their schools, and their teachers.
I faced a great deal of challenges throughout this process, including encouraging my students about their abilities and the physical task of editing the books at the end.
Most of my students were excited by the prospect, but some feared that their writing was not up to par, and others did not wish to write at all. However, I figured out how to address different students concerns.
For the students who were afraid to write, I encouraged them to forget about boxes and boundaries and write about whatever they wanted to. For those who did not wish to write, I asked them to deliver a project so that they would be able to look back and know that they accomplished writing an entire story in a published book.
After the amazing year that I have had with my volunteers, hosting teacher, and students, I will miss them dearly. But, I am glad to have this book, which will be published and bounded soon, to remember them all by.

Majority of Car Buyers Expect to Abandon Traditional Gas-Powered Cars as Early as 2025
Escalent, a top human behavior and analytics firm, published a report outlining consumer expectations of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and their viability as replacements for traditional gasoline-powered cars, or internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, among buyers in the United States and Europe. The Future of BEV: How to Capture the Hearts and Minds of Consumers reveals the intent among many consumers to abandon ICE vehicles altogether, citing the improved infrastructure and range of BEVs.
The Future of BEV gives auto and mobility manufacturers a strategic view of the benefits of their products in the eyes of consumers and highlights the areas of opportunity for automakers to push the innovation boundaries of BEVs to spur broad adoption of the technology.
"While most buyers don't plan to choose BEVs over gasoline-powered cars within the next five years, consumers have told us there is a clear intention to take BEVs seriously in the five years that follow," said Mark Carpenter, joint managing director of Escalent's UK office. "However, manufacturers will need to tap into the emotional value of BEVs rather than just the rational and functional aspects to seize on that intent and inspire broader consumer adoption."
The study demonstrates a significant shift in consumers' expectations that BEVs will become viable alternatives to—and competitors with—ICE vehicles over the coming decade. Though 70% of Americans plan to buy a gasoline-powered car within the next year, just 37% expect to make that same purchase in five to ten years. Similarly, while 50% of European consumers favor buying vehicles powered by gasoline and diesel in the near-term, that figure drops to just 23% in five to ten years.
At the same time, consumers on both sides of the Atlantic see BEV adoption rising to 36% in Europe and 16% in the US, with respondents also indicating intent to purchase hybrids and hydrogen-powered cars.
Infrastructure clearly continues to be one of the biggest barriers to adoption. While some work is being done in Europe as well as in the US, the data show there is a significant need for some players to take ownership if manufacturers want to move the needle on BEV adoption.
US and European consumers have stark differences in opinion as to which entities they believe are primarily responsible for providing BEV charging stations. American consumers consider carmakers (45%) the primary party responsible, followed by fuel companies, local government/transport authorities, and the national government in fourth. On the other hand, European consumers view the national government (29%) as the primary party responsible for providing BEV infrastructure, followed by carmakers, local government/transport authorities and fuel companies.

This white paper references data from two Escalent studies.
In one, Escalent interviewed a sample of 1,012 consumers from Germany, Spain and the UK aged 18 and up between June 25 and July 9, 2019. Respondents were recruited from the Full Circle opt-in online panel of European adults and were interviewed online. The data were weighted by age, gender, and census region to match the demographics of the European population.
In the other, Escalent interviewed a US-based sample of 1,000 consumers aged 18 and up in May 2019. Respondents were recruited from the Dynata and Ipsos panels of US adults and were interviewed online. Quotas were put in place to achieve a sample of age, gender, income, and ethnicity that matches the demographics of the US population.
Due to their opt-in nature, these online panels (like most others) do not yield a random probability sample of the target population. As such, it is not possible to compute a margin of error or to statistically quantify the accuracy of projections. Escalent will supply the exact wording of any survey question upon request.
