Measurements for Sales People
Times may be tough, but the people who are in sales for a living will tell anyone who is listening, “Times are GREAT!” but what they say on the inside and really want to say out loud is, “It sure is tough out there!”
If you are the one signing the paychecks for those on the payroll, specifically those in sales, you might be wondering what those people do all day. You might also be asking yourself: Where are the orders that were promised?
Take a few minutes and use this list of thought-provoking questions to measure how your sales team is doing, what they are not doing and what they should be doing.
1. Ask each sales person to answer the following:
n When was your last successful sale?
n When was the last time you received a referral from a current client?
n When was the last time you made a face-to-face sales presentation?
n When was the time before that?
The answers will tell you what you need to know about whether someone is actually in sales, or just pretending to be.
2. When was the last time the individual who has the title/position and responsibility as “sales manager”:
n Worked with each individual that reports to him or her?
n Conducted a formal performance appraisal on each individual that reports to him or her?
n Conducted a training or education session for the individuals that reported to him or her?
n Held a sales meeting with the entire team with an agenda for the meeting that included goals on it?
The answers might surprise you because the “sales manager” might not be actually managing anyone.
3. When was the last time that individuals in the company that could possibly come into contact with a customer (on the phone, via e-mail, face-to-face or via mail) participated in a product training session?
4. Do the sales people understand the sales process (prospect, present, handle objections, ask for the order, post order follow-up)? How do you know?
5. Make a list of everyone in sales. Ask each of them when they last:
n Read a book to improve their sales skills?
n Watched a video or DVD to improve their sales skills?
n Listened to a CD to improve their sales skills?
n Met with a successful individual in the field of sales to gain knowledge and perspective?
6. How many of the individuals on the sales team have a prospecting plan?
7. How many of the individuals on the sales team have ranked their customers according to the A-B-C method of revenue and profitability?
8. How much of a 50-hour work week is actually spent meeting with customers?
9. Are daily call reports required in your company?
10. Do your sales people complain of poor marketing materials? Are these the top performers or the less productive ones?
11. Have you asked each individual in sales “What is the follow up process once a prospect has been sent literature?”
12. Does the sales manager keep a list of all the excuses that sales people have for not making sales? Is this list reviewed with the top executive at least quarterly?
13. When someone in the sales team does not meet their sales objectives, whether it be for a month, quarter or year, what is the process management takes to resolve the situation?
14. Is your sales team hiding behind brochures, sell sheets, inserts and advertisements?
15. If your sales people were to give you a list of the reasons why they were not achieving their individual sales goals, would you agree with the list?
16. Has your team read “Selling for Dummies” by Tom Hopkins? How about “Swim With The Sharks Without Being Eaten Alive” by Harvey MacKay?
17. How much time does each sales person spend in the office?
18. When was the last time each sales person visited a former client?
19. What is your client retention rate by sales person?
20. What is the turnaround time is to deliver a client proposal once it has been asked for?|

Aluminum Parts Die Casting Draft Angle
Aluminum Die Casting Parts need an angle to be ejected (extracted) from the die casting mold (die cast die). This draft angle is measured in degrees. The typical draft angle for an aluminum die cast part is two degrees. To measure two degrees of aluminum draft angle, one would measure the part on the larger section and deduct 0.017" for every degree of draft angle to calculate the thickness of the smaller section.

Maintain your Battery
Maintain your Battery and check your charging system!
9 times out of 10 the reason why your bike won't start is usually because of the battery condition or loose connections. A charging system failure is less likely but is still possible.
I will talk about both of them here.
First look at your battery connections. Check for obvious and easiest to fix problems first. A loose connection, poor ground etc. will likely cause intermittent operation of the starting and charging systems. If you find a loose connection and/or corrosion, clean the connections with a wire brush.
Before re-attaching apply a little grease to the contact points. The grease helps to prevent any of the white corrosion residues building up around the battery terminals.
Try and start her up now. You still have a problem? Go down to the mall and buy yourself a small electronic multimeter. (Make sure it has both AC and DC volt functions, as well as a continuity (or OHMS)function. Pull out the battery and set it on a counter. Set your multimeter to DC volts. Measure the Battery voltage by placing the red lead on the positive and the Black on the negative.
The voltage read should be around 12.5 volts (higher is OK) If the voltage is less than this it may indicate a poor battery. Notice I say, "may" here because the bike's charging system might be at fault. In this case the battery will most likely be OK.
Confirm that the electrolyte level in each cell of the battery is good. Add distilled water only to cell's with a low level. (Obviously you cannot add water to a maintenance free battery) Charge the battery overnight with a slow charger only. Motorcycle batteries cannot handle a fast charge. Make sure the charger only charges at a rate of 2 amps or less.
Install the battery and try and start her again. If she still won't go buy a new battery and your problem will likely be fixed. If she starts and runs like a charm, then you have to find out why the battery went dead. You need to check the charging system.
With the engine running, place the multimeter leads on the battery. Rev the engine a little. The system voltage should rise with engine RPM. A voltage of around 13.5 to about 14.5 should be displayed. If the voltage stays constant and/or is slowly decreasing, or if the voltage rises above 14.7 volts the charging system is not functioning.
What do you do now? You have to check two things. The Stator and the Regulator. The stator creates an AC voltage. The regulator changes the AC to DC voltage and also maintains that voltage at the proper level.
The Stator can be checked with the Ohms function on your meter. Locate and remove the plug for the stator on the front of the engine block. You will see two or three pins inside.
Set the meter for low Ohms, and measure the continuity between these pins. 5 Ohms or less is what you are looking for here. Set the meter to the highest setting. With 1 lead attached to a metal part of bike check for continuity to each pin. You meter should read infinite, or no continuity. If these tests check out then your stator is fine. If there is a fault in any of these tests, then see your dealer
The regulator is the easiest of all to check. The regulator is made of solid state electronics and can't be opened. Replace the regulator if everything else on the charging system checks out or if there is an overcharging situation.
On most Harley's you will not know if the charging system is beginning to fail. The evidence shows up when you have dim lights or she just won't start. There are aftermarket accessories that you can install on your bike that will tell you the current state of the charging system.
Save yourself some bucks here!! With a simple multimeter available from any Electronics parts store you can troubleshoot your charging system and check your battery and most likely repair any problems yourself.

Jeep SUV
"The first Jeep Grand Cherokee created the luxury sport-utility market," said Jeff Bell, Vice President-Jeep about the best-selling SUV from Jeep. "Since then, many very strong competitors have intensified the full-size SUV market. Yet, none have matched Grand Cherokee's combination of legendary Jeep 4x4 capability, on-road refinement, technological innovations and safety features."
These are the words of Jeep's Vice President as it hits more than 3 million in sales since its debut in 1992. From then on, there is no turning back; Jeep Grand Cherokee lived up to its name with a level of comfort, ride and handling previously missing in most sport-utility vehicle, and was the pioneer for introducing a driver's side air bag to an SUV.
Jeep Grand Cherokee sales in March 2005 were 18,828 units, pushing sales to 3,013,296 units since it was in the market in 1992. The 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee is the best among the pack. Its best features are three new full-time four-wheel drive systems, two new transfer cases, all-new independent and front suspension, rack and pinion steering, and an all-new five-speed transmission.
The 2005 Grand Cherokee was the first Jeep vehicle available with the 5.7-liter HEMI(R) V-8 and the Multi-Displacement System. MDS imperceptibly deactivates four cylinders when the V-8 is not at work.
Its exterior is marked with the Jeep brand's signature seven-slot grille, round headlamps and trapezoidal wheel openings. Chrome, gated automatic shifter and a two-tone instrument panel with an easy-to-read instrument cluster and well-crafted seats accent the new interior
Safety features include Electronic Stability Program, SmartBeam(TM) headlamps that automatically and quickly adjust high-beam brightness and intensity, All-Speed Traction Control System, advanced multi-stage air bags with an Occupant Classification System and Anti-lock Brakes System.

Tire Pressure
Tire pressure is one of the things a car needs to have checked most often. Ideally, you should check them once a month as well as any other time when they might look low. Also, if you are planning a long trip with your car, tire pressure is one of the main things you should check, along with a general checking.
The first thing you need in order to be able to check your car's tire pressure is a tire pressure gauge. You can acquire one at any car parts store or just use one in a gas station. All gas stations have one, but you should ask if it is functioning well before using it. Some of the gauges you might find in gas stations are old or damaged and therefore the information they would give you would be incorrect, which could even lead you to add more air to the tire than it should have. This way, it is important that you make sure the gauge you will use functions properly.
In order to be able to evaluate the pressure your tires have, you should learn how much pressure they should ideally have. You might easily learn this since your car's driver side doorjamb will probably have a sticker giving you some guidance related to the tires and their pressure.
Once you know which the proper pressure for your tires is, you are ready to check them. In order to do this, you must unscrew the caps on the tire air valve and press the tire pressure gauge against it. You should make sure you keep the tire pressure gauge as firmly against the tire valve as not to let air come out from it.
Once you have the tire pressure gauge connected with the tire valve, the gauge will immediately tell you what the tire pressure is. This will allow you to learn weather the tire needs more air or its air pressure is correct. If it needs more air, you should do it carefully in order not to pass its air limit. And, in case its air pressure is correct, you simply need to disconnect the air pressure gauge from it and screw the valve cap back in its place.

Car Fuel Filters
Choosing the right fuel treatments might be the difference between your car mechanism's receiving bad deposits or not as well as it could reduce the engine's wear or increase it in case it was wrongly chosen. Due to all these reasons, it is very important that you buy the right fuel treatments for your car instead of choosing them randomly.
If you wish to learn which the right fuel treatments for your car are, you should start by consulting your car owner's manual. Most car owner's manuals come with indications regarding the use of fuel treatments and some of them would let you know which ones you should buy and which ones you should avoid since some of them could be very prejudicial.
Fuel treatments are applied in order to improve specific car functioning areas and therefore you should have a clear idea on what you need to correct before buying the treatment fuel for it. This way, one of the best ways to make sure you will buy the right fuel treatment for your car is by choosing it according the specific problem it is going through.
Although there are some low cost treatments which are not bad, you should always try to make sure you buy a well known one or one which has been recommended to you by your mechanic or someone who knows what he is talking about. Another great way to buy your treatments is when they are on sale which happens very often in many stores.
After you have bought the right treatment, you should wait to add it until the next time you will add gas to the tank. This way, you should add the treatment, with a maximum of one bottle, and then add the gas you wish. If you have any doubts regarding fuel treatments you should ask your mechanic, or, in case you have doubts on how to use it you should ask the treatment manufacturer for further advice. You shouldn’t add any treatment to your car if you are not sure about it and what it could do to the car.

Japanese-owned aluminum die casting plant
The proposed sale or closure of a Japanese-owned aluminum die casting plant in Niles could affect nearly 200 jobs, according to the company.
Metaldyne Corporation, owned by Asahi Tec, announced that it would divest its Niles plant at 6119 W. Howard St. as well as a Middleville, Mich. facility.
"Our first objective is to try and sell the plants," said Metaldyne spokeswoman Marge Sorge. "We have great work forces there."
The sale will affect 167 hourly employees and 21 salaried employees at the Niles plant, which functions primarily as an auto parts supplier and has been in operation since 1962.
"There is interest in the plants," Sorge said. "We don't know when they will be sold, but they will continue to operate until then."
Of course, Sorge said, there is no guarantee the plants will be sold or that they will continue to operate as they have been under a new owner -- they could be closed.
"There is a market for the products these plants produce, so we think we'll be able to sell them," she said. "But all of that will be up to the new owners."
Metaldyne is headquartered in Plymouth, Mich. and has annual revenues of approximately $1.8 billion. The company employs more than 6,300 employees at 33 facilities in 14 countries. Metaldyne is an indirectly wholly owned subsidiary of Asahi Tec Corporation, a Shizuoka, Japan-based company listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
"As we reviewed our products and operations and their opportunity for growth, we found that some products and operations are no longer core and better suited for other suppliers," Thomas A. Amato, chairman and CEO of Metaldyne and co-CEO of Asahi Tec, said in a press release. "We continue to review all our products and proactively take action if necessary."
Since January, Metaldyne had closed facilities in Farmington Hills and Plymouth, Mich., and Greenville, N.C.
Metaldyne announced Wednesday that it has been awarded more than $50 million in contracts from multiple automakers to supply powder-metal-forged connecting rods for 4- and 6-cylinder engines used globally in 2009 and 2010 cars, crossover vehicles and minivans.

Amato, chairman and CEO of Metaldyne and co-CEO of Asahi Tec, said in a press release. "We continue to review all our products and proactively take action if necessary."
Since January, Metaldyne had closed facilities in Farmington Hills and Plymouth, Mich., and Greenville, N.C.
Metaldyne announced Wednesday that it has been awarded more than $50 million in contracts from multiple automakers to supply powder-metal-forged connecting rods for 4- and 6-cylinder engines used globally in 2009 and 2010 cars, crossover vehicles and minivans.

Young Car Drivers
Young people as we all know are very energetic, fun-loving and yes, these days, they are very independent and audacious. They’d love to try anything new and anything “cool” and anything “in.” Oftentimes, the moral, ethical and safety concerns are set aside for the sake of fun. Hence, many times they get caught up in troublesome situations.
Getting behind the wheels the first time is one of the most anticipated things among teenagers. The way his teenager drives is one of those areas a parent should look closely into because young drivers are more prone to accidents. Knowing this, Auto Parts encourages parents to educate teen drivers the importance of driving safely and responsibly.
Furthermore, this leading auto parts dealer emphasizes among young adults the need to learn the basics of car repair, car maintenance and car part replacement.

Take Care of your Motorcycle
Even with regular maintenance and upkeep, our motorcycles tend to get used and subjected to different elements in the environment. To keep used motorcycle parts as good as the day when we first bought them, regular washing and rinsing will do the trick.
But you should take note how you do your washing. You might scratch parts of your motorcycle.
Top Rule: Avoid scratches.
Scratches are the biggest enemy of any bike's finish. The secret of keeping your used motorcycle parts as good as new is to avoid scratches in your motorcycle. Dirt and grime when rubbed in while washing or drying, act as sandpaper and will definitely dull the brilliance of your bike's paint.
To avoid scratching your bike, first, you need to remember that anything that comes in contact with your motorcycle's finish should be made of soft material. Take care that no harsh or rough surfaces will be able to connect with any part of your motorcycle. Zippers are the worst offenders.
Use only clean, freshly washed cotton cloths or towels to dry your bike after washing. When you need to put on any application to make your bike shine, again use the clean cotton cloths and towels. Rinse thoroughly the sponges or wash mitts, as well as the bucket, before and after washing your bike to remove any dirt or grime.
One of the best advice I got from a used motorcycle parts site was to separate my bike's areas into normal and rough areas when washing. I usually consider the painted surfaces as normal areas, while the tires, engine, and inner fenders are the rough areas. I use different wash mitts and sponges for each area to keep dirt and grime away from the sensitive areas. This way, scratching would be avoided.
Use also a gentle stream of water when rinsing, rather than high water pressure that comes from the hose. The high pressure of water will cause dirt to grind further into the paint, causing scratches along with other worse problems. And remember to use generous amounts of water when rinsing. Dirt that causes scratch will easily float away with enough water used.
When washing your bike…
Use lots of water, but without the high pressure. Totally avoid using pressure washers. Instead let the water flow freely by detaching the nozzle from the hose.
Along with the generous amount of water, use detergents designed specifically for motorcycle washing. Ordinary detergent tends to remove the wax that we want to try to keep. Simply mix the detergent according to the directions and go for it. Just make sure you rinse each section soon after applying the detergent so that no soap film will develop. It is difficult to get rid of the soap film when it dries up.
After washing, rinse, rinse, and rinse some more. Rinse everywhere. Every nook and cranny should be rinsed of soap.
Lastly, wash your motorcycle without bright sunlight. Soap suds can easily dry from the heat. Ideal time of the day would be in the late afternoon or early morning when the sun is not so strong.

Fishercast purchased by Dynacast
Dynacast, the leading global manufacturer of precision engineered, die cast metal and small components, announced today an asset purchase of FisherCast Global Corporation, a manufacturer of high-precision zinc and magnesium components and injected metal component assemblies. "The partnership comes at a perfect time for both companies," explained Dynacast CEO, Simon Newman. "Dynacast will continue to broaden its North American capacity to serve the zinc and magnesium die casting market and to offer additional joining and assembly services through Injected Metal Assembly™ (IMA) technologies."
The acquisition is also significant for FisherCast, who recently sought legal protection under the Companies` Creditors Arrangement Act, due to strained financial resources.
"We were looking for a strong financial partner to secure the future of FisherCast and we`ve found it," said Bob Espey, FisherCast`s President. "Dynacast has the financial stability and operational experience to secure our success well into the future."
Throughout the transition, the top priority for both companies will be to continue to operate FisherCast`s Peterborough facility without disruption of supply or service to its customers. FisherCast customers will benefit from expanded supply opportunities and advanced support services through Dynacast`s 18 international facilities, as well as the addition of aluminum as a metal choice and additional zinc technologies for die casting business solutions.
Dynacast sees the acquisition of the FisherCast organization as a natural extension of its core business. The acquisition also diversifies Dynacast`s international customer base and supports its strategic plans for growth and expansion. Under Dynacast ownership, FisherCast will operate as a separate business unit and will continue to offer its full range of products and services.
"By combining the expertise and resources of both companies, we will create expanded choices in materials, equipment and technologies for all customers," said Newman.
FisherCast produces net shape, flash-free zinc and magnesium alloy die cast components for OEM`s in the global automotive vehicle, industrial control, appliance, electronic component, power tool, hardware and telecom market sectors. The FisherTech division develops joining and assembly solutions using its proprietary Injected Metal Assembly™ (IMA) technology, which is also used for the termination of wire and cable.
Dynacast is a global manufacturer of precision engineered, die cast metal components with facilities in North America, Europe and the Asia Pacific region. The company`s products are manufactured using proprietary multi-slide, die casting technology and are supplied to a wide range of markets, including automotive, healthcare, telecommunications and consumer electronics. Dynacast, owned by Melrose PLC of London, is focused on achieving growth organically and where possible through selected acquisitions.

Rising Gas Price, Save Gas
Gas prices have been spiraling out of control for months, and there is no end in sight.
Increased gas prices do not just hit you when you fill up your tank though. Just think
about it for a minute and you will realize how many other ways rising oil and gas
prices will cost you. The price of airline travel and shipping services are likely
to rise, as is the cost of many other goods as retailers are forced to pay more for
delivery.
You may even see your property taxes increase as towns have to pay more to keep their
police cars, fire engines, and garbage trucks on the road.
Aluminum Handle Hardware. During times like these it is important to get as much bang for you buck at the gas
pump as possible.
So how can I save money on gas?
While there is little you can do about the market price of a barrel of oil, there are
ways to keep down your own personal costs at the gas pump. Here are some suggestions:
Don't pay extra for premium gas if you don't need it. Consult your owners manual
and stick to the recommended octane. Most cars run just fine on regular unleaded
gas and you will get no extra performance by using premium gas.
Shop around. Keep a watchful eye and you'll be surprised at how much prices can
vary from one gas station to the next. I've seen differences of eight to ten cents
per gallon between gas stations directly across the street from one another. Seems
like a small difference but it adds up over time.
Schedule your errands to minimize drive time, or if possible walk.
Travel light. Keeping your car and backseat loaded down wastes fuel as it requires
more energy to move a heavier car. Take only the essentials (a spare tire, first-aid
kit, jumper cables, etc.) with you.
Slow down. The faster you drive the fewer the miles you will get per gallon.
Drive steady. Avoid quick stops and accelerations that waste fuel. Anticipate braking
ahead of time and ease onto the gas pedal rather than flooring it.
Maintenance is key. Keeping your engine tuned and tires inflated can make a
difference in your fuel consumption. Under-inflated tires create drag which causes
the engine to use more energy to propel the car. Plus, it is unsafe to drive on tires
that have too little or too air in them.
If you are in the market for a new car, consider models that are more fuel efficient.
Use the air conditioner judiciously. There are two schools of thought on this one.
The first says you will burn less fuel with the windows down and the AC off. The
second says that driving with the windows open creates drag, which wastes more fuel
than would be used if the AC was on and the windows up.
So which one is true? Well...both of them really. The car will consume more fuel
with the air conditioner on and the windows down, up to about 45-50 miles per hour.
As you drive faster, the drag caused my the open windows will actually cause high
fuel consumption.
So the rule of thumb is this: keep the AC off and the windows down when you are
cruising around town and on city streets. Once you reach the highway or about 50 mph,
roll up the windows and turn the on the AC.
Using these tips will help you save money on gas. While you may not notice a huge
difference with each fill up, the savings will compound with each fresh tank. Aluminum Bracket Part Diecastings

Aluminum Air Filter
You car's air filter is very important since it maintains some Custom Metal Prototype Parts of your car system clean and free of dirt. If your air filter doesn't work properly and dirt enters your car this might make it go through different problems, and therefore it is important that you check the filter and change it when necessary. Your mechanic can do it for you although it is very easy and you could do it yourself as well.
It is recommended that you change your car's air filter once a year or every 15.000 miles if you live in an averagely dusty area. But, if you can check it once in a while and replace it as soon as it needs it this would be much better. Checking it is a very easy thing to do and replace it is not complicated once you learn how to do it.
If you wish to check your car's air filter yourself and in an easy way, you can do so by using a light from inside pointing outside and check how bright it looks through it. If you see the light clearly, then your air filter is still good, but if you can't see much of the light then it indicates the filter needs to be changed.
Newer cars have different air filters than older ones. If your car is rather new, its air filter is probably rectangular and you might find it located under the hood, near the radiator area or the fender wells. In order to change it, you must open it and take the actual air filter from it, replacing it by the new and then closing it again.
If your car is older, then the air filter will probably be of a big round shape and located near the engine area. It might probably be screwed, and all you might need to do is to unscrew the cover, let the air filter come out, and place the new one instead of it. You must pay attention in case it has any other attachment mechanisms such as clips which you would need to take off as well. Aluminum Automotive parts
