The Loudspeaker is comedy spoof and romance rolled into one bizarre and highly entertaining film. A cocky and booming young bravado, Ray Walker is perfectly cast as a self assured radio star who forgets all the important things in life on his way to fame and fortune. Despite the protests of his modest and lovely sweetheart (Jacqueline Wells), Walker focuses on nothing but himself and his career. His radio broadcasts hilariously parody the top programs of the day, such as Ed Wynn and The Boswell Sisters. The Loudspeaker is an ever amusing romp through radio in the nineteen thirties as well as a charming love story.

Author: Helen Cooper Illustrator: Helen Cooper Published: 1998 Farrar, Straus even in the midst of our gorgeous, long awaited spring.

We send out a Bigg Salute to Chris Brogan for coining this phrase and letting us run with it. He was describing a situation with an overly aggressive salesperson he had just met. This person was trying to win Chris s business. As Chris said, This guy wouldn t quit jumping on me like a dog and my tail wasn t wagging! So if you don t want to jump on people like dogs , here are four tips to keep in mind. #1 Don t get too revved up. It s understandable that you re excited about what you do. But they may not be as excited as you. At least not at this point. Look for cues. If they re responsive to what you re saying, then keep going. But if not, back off. #2 Don t just pitch, pitch, pitch. When you meet someone for the first time, get to know them. Start building a relationship. What are their interests? If you start the conversation by talking about them, you will almost certainly be invited to tell them what you do. When you are, keep it short. What s your elevator speech? #3 Don t go for an immediate sale. Know what you want to accomplish, but keep it reasonable. It s a step-by-step process. If you exchange business cards, and have a brief conversation, that may be a great start. Now you can follow-up and try to get to the next step. #4 Assume that now is a great time for them to talk to you in depth. You don t know what s on their mind. What kind of day they ve had. What kind of mood they re in. Wouldn t you rather talk to them about what your offer when they can give it the attention it deserves? Talk to them when they can give you 100% of their attention! What internet marketers know about building relationships Internet marketers ask us to opt-in they get our permission to market to us by asking for our e-mail. You can do the same thing in person. Tease what you can do and then ask for permission to follow-up. If they say No don t sweat it. Someone else will say Yes!

Our bigg quote today is by Bob Burg: The successful networkers I know, the ones receiving tons of referrals and feeling truly happy about themselves, continually put the other person s needs ahead of their own. So don t jump on people like dogs because that dog won t hunt! Next time, we ll discuss how to get in the loop to gain a competitive advantage. Until then, here s to your bigg success!

Bigg Challenge Melissa e-mailed us about a co-worker that she works with regularly on projects. Her co-worker is never in a good mood. In fact, she s often downright unfriendly to everybody. Melissa tried taking a personal interest and killing her with kindness, but it didn t matter. She wonders how to deal with this difficult co-worker. Bigg Advice Ah, the crabby co-worker with the hard exterior shell that you just can t crack! It seems like every office has one. We ll offer some suggestions, Melissa, but just remember you can t change anybody but yourself. You ve tried being nice, but it hasn t helped. Sometimes the nicer you are to people like this, the meaner they get. They re like the bully that we all picture from our childhood days. So don t be afraid to stand up to the bully. One of two things will happen when you do they ll either be more of a bully or they ll respect you for standing up for yourself. So confront her directly, but don t be in-her-face about it. There s a good chance you ll catch her off guard, because bullies aren t used to being called out for being rude. When she says something curt, just ask, Have I done something to offend you? You can expect one of two responses: She may say Yes . That gives you the opportunity to follow up. Just ask, I wasn t aware I had offended you, what did I do? Now at least you can have a conversation. She may get it off her chest and you might become one of the few people she treats well. She may say, No, why? That will open the door for you to say something like, By the tone of your voice, I just felt like I must have upset you. In some cases, bullies have behaved this way for so long (and gotten away with it), they don t even realize that they re doing it. By bringing it to her attention, she might change her attitude toward you. No matter what, Melissa, be sincere. Don t worry about her attitude and don t take it personally it s her problem, not yours. Lower the bar On the show, George shared some advice that he learned from one of his mentors. This mentor said he discovered early in his career that he wouldn t like everybody with whom he worked. However, he worked hard to not dislike any of his co-workers. So lower the bar! Try to find ways to not dislike her. For example, maybe she s really good at what she does and you can respect her for that. Thanks, Melissa for sharing your bigg challenge! If you have some tips for Melissa, share them with all of us! Comment below! Our bigg quote today is by Anais Nin: From the backstabbing co-worker to the meddling sister-in-law, you are in charge of how you react to the people and events in your life. You can either give negativity power over your life or you can choose happiness instead. Take control and choose to focus on what is important in your life. Those who cannot live fully often become destroyers of life. So don t fret too much about your crabby co-worker. Plenty of people will melt like butter from the warmth of your personality. Next time, in honor of Mother s Day, we ll talk about mom s lasting legacy. Until then, here s to your bigg success! Subscribe to The Bigg Success Show in iTunes. Subscribe to the Bigg Success feed.

Today s blog is about an important relationship-building tool. It s important at work and home. It s crucial for leaders and first-time managers. It s about understanding when to use your active voice and when to use your passive voice. It may sound simple, but it s amazing how many times we get it wrong. Today, we ll quickly review active and passive voice, and offer some tips on how to use each one effectively. Active voice The subject of the sentence appears before the action. Stated more simply, the noun occurs before the verb. The active voice is often more direct and easier to follow. For example, You performed exceptionally well on this project. Passive voice The action appears in the sentence before the subject, if the subject appears at all. The verb comes first, the noun comes later. So the example above, spoken in the passive voice would be, This project was done exceptionally well by you. Note that this sentence actually sounds a little strange stated in the passive voice. That s often the case. Use the passive voice to offer criticism. The passive voice has its uses. For example, which of the following two statements would you rather hear? You performed below expectations on this project Expectations weren t met on this project. The first example is in the active voice. So the focus is on you , not the project . The second example does the opposite using the passive voice, it puts the focus on the project. The second example sounds better on this go-around, doesn t it? Can you picture yourself getting defensive with the first sentence? Probably so, because it screams, You screwed up! So when you want to discuss anything negative, use your passive voice. You ll find that your conversation is much more productive! They won t feel backed into a corner. They feel more like you re on their side. You re not fixing the blame; you re trying to fix the problem with their help. Use the active voice to praise people. Going back to our original example, we ll bet you would feel great if your boss said, You performed exceptionally well Can you imagine how your performance would improve if your boss said something like that to you in front of all your co-workers? This is an incredible tool for managers to improve the morale of their troops. So when you want to tell someone that they did something great, use your active voice. Put them first in your sentences. You ll feel great because you ll make them feel great! Subscribe to the Bigg Success feed so you get more great personal and professional development tips delivered to you daily.

Ninja Turtles creators Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird are interviewed during the height of the TMNT craze. It kinda sucks how the interviewer is so focused on the monetary aspect of the Turtles.

Today, we ll share a recent experience with an intern and a doctor. The intern explained what was going on, and we understood almost none of it. He only used medical terms. When we questioned him, he compounded it with even more technical words. A great guy, but he didn t communicate effectively. Then we talked to the doctor. The doctor explained everything in human terms so we fully understood. Sure, she used technical terms, but she quickly explained what they meant in layman s language. She was smart enough to say it simply! So from that we can only conclude that women are better communicators than men! Okay, that s not what we re saying. It s not about gender, it s about these three factors: #1 Personal characteristics Consider two ends of the spectrum on one end, there are people who lack confidence. On the other end, there are people with ego. Confidence. These people may be somewhat new to the subject they re trying to explain so they re not that sure of themselves yet. They re uncomfortable talking about it. So they talk about it the way they learned it in technical terms. It s a nervous reaction. Ego. These people are experts and they want you to know just how smart they are. They may even be arrogant. They re smart, but not smart enough to realize how important it is to clearly communicate with their audience. #2 Communication skills This is about preparation. They know they have a message to relay, but they don t put any thought into how to relay it. They re very skilled in their profession, but they don t know how to communicate with the average Jane or Joe. #3 People skills They re not able to read the people to whom they re talking. If they get a blank stare, it doesn t register that the person doesn t understand. These people are brilliant in their profession, but they lack the ability to connect with people, especially those outside their profession. 2 tips to say it simply Here are two questions to ask yourself about your audience before you try to communicate with them: Question #1 What is their level of understanding about your subject? The answer to this question will help you determine how you form your message. If you re talking to a colleague, you can go crazy with all that jargon you love! If you re talking to someone outside your profession, keep it simple! Question #2 What do they need to know? If the CliffsNotes version will do, don t recite the whole book! Determine what s really important and leave out all the rest. They ll ask you if they want more. It s smart to keep it simple! Our bigg quote today comes from the French philosopher, Voltaire: If you wish to speak with me, define your terms. And limit those terms to terms of use by your audience.
