New Features Added ...

Hi folks! Now you will find two new features in the blogs of the Just Trade Leads organization. In all JTL blogs, you will find the Cool and Useful Links block with interesting links. In the Main Blog, you will find the Regional Blogs block, containing links to all our current RC blogs. In the Regional Chapter blogs instead of the Regional Blogs block, you will find the Main Blog block with a link to our main site. Are you confused? Try it out, and you will see it is not that difficult to use. Enjoy and, please, post your comments. There is a special feature in all blogs that allows member viewers to post comments for a specific posting.

successful and be able to do the things how, when and where we want to do them. The like minded people we get the better. We will talk more about increasing membership at our next
meeting.
Gracias Leroy

Interesting Quotes for Leaders:

How many times do you give positive feedback to your team each week? How many times do you think you should?

“Nothing else can quite substitute for a few well-chosen, well-timed, sincere words of praise. They're absolutely free - and worth a fortune.”

Dec 06, 2006 Meeting at Schooner Restaurant

Hi, folks!

Those of you who didn't have a chance to be at the meeting were missed and missed a great discussion about the use of blog technology to shape our lead trading group. Myself of Transworld Systems Inc. (luiz.costa@transworldsystems.com) and Mauro (Rick) of Treadstone Mortgage (rick@treadstonemortgage.com) discussed my proposal of developing a weblog (blog) network of lead traders named after this blog, Just Trade Leads, where users in general will find cool material about sales and marketing, vendors, solution providers, and other related topics. The networkers would trade leads (off course!) among themselves, using their blogs ONLY as communication hubs.

I am proposing to develop and run the infrastructure that would primarely subsist out of advertisement revenue streams from ads placed on all Justs Trade Leads member organization blogs. Part of the revenue from each blog would suport that particular group. Rick and I discussed the use of some ad space to promote members business activities, which is a cool way of defraying the organization's cost, so we establish a very competitive membership fee structure. A low membership will be huge in attracting members all over the US, and who knows, in other countries.

I will continue to investigate the potential of Google Blogger as the underlying technology, along with my current search for our own blog infrastructure (our own server). If anybody has any idea in this regard, please, let me know. I'll keep you posted.

In the mean time, as members of the Just Trade Leads of Holland you are encouraged to contribute with your posts and consider that we might shape this blog to be accessible by the public. That is going to be essential for exposure to other regions and advertising revenue. So, If you want to trade a specific lead with another member(s), it is safer to do it through e-mail, until we think about something else, like a private forum to exchange hard leads among ourselves. Please, also use your networking abilities to invite more people to participate of our weekly meetings. If anybody knows of people in general who would be interested in writing cool things to be published here, let me know. Cartoons, stories, anything related to sales and marketing would be welcome, don't you folks think so?

Best regards,

Luiz Costa

Hey Luiz,

This thing is really cool.

Welcome to Just Trade Leads!

This is a preliminary welcome message, just to get started. At the next meeting on Wednesday Dec. 6, 2006, 9am, I plan to pursuade those present to draft a Mission Statement for this blog and/or even for Just Trade Leads in general. Then, I plan to get the approval of the group to post the best review of the MS, and post a Grand Opening Welcome to everyone. Just to start right away with something on it!

Please, be prepared to post your own contributions! I will send invitations to those who have attended the first meetings. For now, I am restricting the contributions to invited persons only. In the future, as we learn about this media and our objectives, we may open to others.

Greetings,

Luiz Costa
Just Trade Leads!
