Finland is the World´s First Country in Mobile Identification

2010-11-30T17:14:00.004+02:00

Finland has today... introduced the identification in a mobile phone. Mobile Certificate is a mobile phone SIM card attached to the service, which serves as an electronic identification.

Communications Minister Suvi Linden highlights that Finland is the first country in the world strong electronic identification system. Linden hopes that the introduction of mobile certificate to rise as an important landmark as the first GSM phone call was in due course.

Interest in the identification using the services among service providers seems to be great. I believe that the ease of use of services via mobile certificate to quickly find the end-users, ie citizens and businesses. Mobile Password will certainly pay a variety of password pairs. Linden believes that the key government services available electronically by 2013.

INSPIRE ME - Inspire Yourself, and Bank the Results written by Markku Tauriainen, from page 217

What distinguishes a loser from an achiever?

I have read several success stories. I have also compared and rated successful people and read about their achievements. What is my conclusion? What distinguishes a real achiever?

Abraham Lincoln is one of the best examples of a genuine failure and of a big achiever, who won himself and everyone else after all. 1831 Abraham founded a company, which did not succeed. After that one failed he established a new one, which also ended in a bankruptcy.

In 1838, 1840 and 1843 he applied for United States congress without succeeding. He finally succeeded on in 1846 at last but was released out already after two years.

Next time he applied for Senate in 1855 ― without success ― and for a vice–president already in following year. But he was a man, who never gave up. Finally he won and became the 16 th president of the United States.

Everyone faces difficulties in their lives. Achievers have learned to deal with difficulties, to live with them, and eventually to walk over them with creative solutions. They simply do not give in. A loser turns on his heels, walks away and looks for a new job. He blames the job, the products, indeed anything but himself. He expects the next job to be easier and the new grass to be greener. You cannot run from yourself, not even in a new job.

Eventually you make the desicion, are you...

Veikka Gustafsson is a living proof of BHAG. . . In the world there is now just 17 human being who have reached all 14 of more than 8.000 meter high mountain. The Finnish mountain climber, entrepreneur Veikka Gustafsson is 17th man who have accomplish so called BHAG 10-to-30-years goal which took 17 years of his life. What makes this achievement particular higher and greater is the fact that this goal is achieved without any extra oxygen. With own spirit & force - the Finn Power. Veikka Gustafsson is Finnish and the Finns are known for their hard willpower.

Veikka Gustafsson have cut his BHAG goal to idea: I will do one mountain at the time. That was the way he succeed to reach all these over 8.000 meter mountains in 17 years.

IDEA: Get Customers with New Innovations. . . is the key element in coming to business with new company. Simply as that : ) - make unique innovation. Give benefits and other values to Your customers. The second great way is to buy an existing business with existing customers, but that is not the case in this article. Today we focus on new business with new ideas.

Phat Billy Cheesestakes Restaurant in California have maid something very special.

The Phat Billy restaurant leads us to the wide business highway: back to business principles and basics!

Nokia Money innovation - mobile is phenomenon

2009-08-29T15:28:00.004+03:00

IDEA: Use Nokia Money to Your online business . . . Yes - You can do it - in very near future and it will be a very good idea. You will have more customers when Mobile payments are opened. Your duty is to be main stream and offer these easy solutions. Be care full that You don´t miss this golden opportunity – this is real : ) like Oxyfress tooth paste was when I first saw it 1980´s when Randy Anderson from California introduced “Oxyfress mouth mint” to me in Finland. Since that Inc. Oxyfress have been on the market with success... and Oxyfress tooth paste is still a selling product. Not many MLM companies have survived more than one year.

What are the bullet proof ideas today? . . . The bullet proof business ideas and ways are to keep Your operations on the main stream only. There are 500 million people in socialmedias. They are Your existing customers. Please remember that today´s best business is to keep operations in 3 rock stars: sell only benefits and help people to buy – more easy your business is more people will buy from you. Keep Your selling message simply and uderstantable from customers point of view – the benefit had come out in 3 - 4 seconds. And show your price clearly and be sure that it is easy to pay – use Nokia Money system when it is launched.

Advise : b Please, do not be boring marketer and tell to your customer that You have biggest, fastest, greatest product on the market and it will do this and that . . . see Thomas Power video from "push" to "pull" at Your Business Channel, which is a great informative broadcaster. In every way avoid broadcasting and shouting as much as You can : )

Posted a comment to Donald Trump Blog

2009-08-27T16:09:00.000+03:00

I have been reading Donald Trump Blog . . . about 2,5 years now. If You have something to say and You are willing to comment on Donald Trump Blog it will take a moment to have it published. They get serious amount of comments and they like to read them first before your comment is published on the Blog. One big minus is that when You get trough Your comment will be automatically on the bottom - it is hard to find and complicated to advertise to Your friends. Anyway I have managed to get my comments to the Blog even I´m a Finnish Entrepreneur and my written language is bad. I´m sorry : ) that I´m not a native English speaking person -spirit I have!

What I commented was Donald Trump´s writing: Moving Your Ideas That subject is very close to me and Finnish people, because our 1973 born philosopher Pekka Himanen have been broadcasting subject quite often in Finnish medias. The peak performance is that, when You have an innovative idea, you need to have "standby" business plan or at least a commercial solution how to sell it. Otherwise it is no idea at all. Many good innovation will not fly, if You don´t have a marketing plan for it. You need to ask people & customers idea are they willing to buy it or not? And like Donald Trump says: Do only what Your customers want and what they are willing to pay for. These are golden words, if You go deeper on mind and ask from Yourself daily that: am I doing, inventing something what my customers are waiting for? Or sample am I writing this blog to my self or is it something my readers are willing to read and pay for?

Please, if You have any comment or ideas about my writing, I will be happy to get Your responce by e-mail make@angelo.fi. or like a comment to this blog. And would You do it now, because I start writing seriously daily, weekly and so on.

I am interested to hear what You like to know about to do business generally, is the sales techniques you need to improve or is it right approach, coaching or . . .
What do You need in sales? What is Your success story?

Uusi idea500 blogi avattu

Hei!

Nimeni on Markku Tauriainen. Asun Kellossa, 15 km Oulusta pohjoiseen päin. Myyntikokemukseni on 30 vuotta.

Alan pitämään blogia. Kirjoitan myyntiin liittyvistä asioista. Tavoitteenani on jakaa myyntiin liittyviä kokemuksia, taitoja ja tarinoita. Yleensä hyvät ja huonot kokemukset ja kommellukset kiinnostavat ihmisiä eniten, joten heitämpä tässä yhden klassikon heti pöytää. Legendasta nimeltä Sokoksen naismyyjä on helppo kuvailla. Laihahko, vaaleahiuksinen naismyyjä seisoo kemikaalion myyntitiskin ulkopuolella ja pitää käsiään sormista kiinni kauppaedustajien sanonnan mukaan häpykummunsa päällä. Kun asiakas tulee nk. iskuetäisyydelle myyjä kysyy: "Voinko auttaa"? Amerikassa tehdyn tutkimuksen mukaan yli 69% ihmisistä vastaa tähän että et. 95% varmuudella vastaus on ei suuntaan eli ei toivottuun suuntaan. Miksi hän sitten kysyy näin? Onko opetettu näin? En tiedä, mutta tämä on legendojen legenda väärästä toimintamallista.

Oikea toimintamalli = Vaihtoehtoinen kysymyksen asettelu lennosta, rennosti ohi kulkiessa pysähtyen. "Hei, oletko tullut katsomaan housuja, paitaa tai oletko muuten vaan katselemassa jotain kivaa itsellesi?" Tähän kysymykseen samoilla prosenteilla asiakas vastaa jotain, josta myyjä pääsee eteenpäin. Löytyykö Suomesta vielä Sokos legendoja - kyllä löytyy aika monesta liikkeestä.
