++POSITIONS AVAILABLE++
Later today you'll receive the 2nd edition of the "Positions Available".
Approximately 25 companies are involved in the issue. It follows within
4-6 hours of this posting. The next edition is March 2nd and you're welcome
to make any additions/corrections no later than February 26th please. Many
students and faculty members commented to pass along thanks to the companies
for making these positions known. This type of targeted e-mail is much
easier than searching the Web/Internet and the overwhelming job boards
that exist on it.
++REACHING PROSPECTS++
When you've searched for prospects, have you considered "radio"? One
tool that can be used is Real Audio. It's a web based tv/radio service
that you listen to while connected to the Internet. You'll need at least
a 28K modem (14.4K is just too slow), sound/speaker combination and a program
available as shareware (try before you buy) known as Real Audio on your
computer. Start your search at = https://www.broadcast.com/
or = https://www.real.com/ for more information.
How might you use it? Listen to AM radio stations for companies, movers
and shakers within the community, and for special events that you might
be able to target.
++CHECKED YOUR E-MAIL LATELY?++
Many of you have been kind enough to write and needed, or asked for,
a reply from me. Generally most of us simply hit the "Reply" button instead
of "New Message" on the e-mail programs. Have you checked the e-mail address
in your "Reply To" set-up area? I'm not sure who is setting up your e-mail
but you might want to e-mail yourself a note and see what the "header"
says. Many of you have incorrect addresses showing and you force the contacted
person to manually enter your e-mail address. That could be a prospect
or client that you just wasted time with!
++MORE CONTACTS++
One of the best areas for acquiring e-mail addresses (many of you wanted
to know how you were "found") is reading newsgroups and participating in
mailing lists available on/from the Internet. There are plenty of rules
and "netiquette" to abide by - a very simple place to start is "Liszt"
= https://www.liszt.com/ where you can
enter a search such as "restaurants"
or "travel". Please understand that there are RULES - cross the rules
boundary and you'll make more SPAM enemies than you care for. Just yesterday
I needed a solution/formula for an EXCEL database file - posted my initial
question at about 6:30am and by 10:00am had received four responses. No
charge! - just people willing to help. It also meant countless numbers
of people that read/saw my e-mail header which lists Hospitality 1ST. Think
about it...
++SPECIAL THANKS++
Quickly, just wanted to mention thanks to three loyal supporters; Renne'
& Chris at = https://residenceinn.com/MEMPP/
along with Carol at = https://www.embassy-suites.com/HotelInfo/embassy/property.html?page=HOME&pid=MEMPE

++WORTH MENTIONING AGAIN++

and other newsletters. For starters try "Business Journals" = https://www.amcity.com/journals.html
, "Hotel Motel Management" = https://www.hmmonline.com/
