Egonomics




My name is Bryan Tanner. I am a recent graduate of Brigham Young University and I would love to come work for you and your company.

I was first introduced to your book through your daughter, Lindsay, at Carriage Cove Apartments where we live. Lindsay's mom gave me your email address when I told her I am looking to gain business experience with growing companies who are lead by excellent individuals. I was especially impressed by your experience as a presenter with Franklin Covey.

I thought it was quite coincidental when I found out that you were recently up in my hometown, Redmond, presenting ideas to Microsoft.

Attached is a copy of my current resumé.

Please let me know if you are interested in talking further. It would be my greatest wish if it were possible for you to create a use for me in your company.


Sincerely,

Bryan B. Tanner

    This is a game of probabilities. Meaning luck is only on your side if you invent a system that allows you to roll the dice frequently and regularly. The percentages for this kind of endeavor are somewhat static. From my experience a 1% response rate is quite good. From that if you can "sell" 1 in 4 then you have a very good lead generation program. So out of a 1000 solicitations you should expect 10 call-backs. Out of that you should sell 2.5 of them on giving you a job.

    Remember most "success" companies are quite hollow. They generally consist of a few public speakers, a book, and a large sales staff that sells expensive band-aids to hemorraging customers.

    Books are generally written by the sales organizations as a lead generator for high end consulting sales. The companies that do it right have their customers pay to become a lead. Yes, I am saying that the book is simply a well-devised lead generator.

    Check out http://www.reuters.com/article/pressRelease/idUS129257+27-Mar-2008+BW20080327 to get a taste of what I mean. Selling the salesman is a great busines to get into :)

    As an experiment write another letter to this individual and at the top say.

    THIS IS MERELY A PROPOSAL AND IS NOT TO BE CONSTRUED AS AN OFFER OR AN ACCEPTANCE TO AN OFFER. THIS LETTER WILL SERVE AS A SOLICITATION TO BEGIN NEGOTIATIONS.

    Then in the letter intimate that you have connections with organizations who may be willing to pay for outside sales consulting based on the principles in Egonomics. State that you are open for discussion and leave your contact info.

    I'll bet you 10 bucks you will get some sort of response. Let me know how it works.

Rummi-"CUB" vs. Rummi-"CUBE"

The "Rummikub" Pronunciation Debate Affirmative Constructive: "Cub" For years, I have been a firm advocate and defender of the pronunciation, Rummi-"CUB".  The game box I grew up with spelled it, Rummicub  on the box. However, other productions of the game have variant spellings: Rummykub , Rummy Kube , Rummy Tiles , etc.  Based solely on box spelling, the game's true pronunciation is open to interpretation. Therefore, Rummi"cub" is equally acceptable to any other given pronunciation. Negative  Constructive : "Cube" My opponents argue that since the game originated over seas, we ought to respect and maintain its original pronunciation. Affirmative Rebuttal: Americanization of the Term When the game was brought to America and given Americanized rules, its name was also Americanized. Pronunciation loyalists then counter my rebuttal with, "there are lots of adopted foreign words that have retained their original pron...

The Secret Reason Why "Good Witch" Feels Emotionally Off

TL;DR It's the Botox. For the past 3 months, my wife, Stacia, and I have been watching  Good Witch  (via Netflix and Amazon Prime). Stacia adores winding down to "Hallmark-y shows." We can rely on Good Witch episodes to always resolve happily. The episodes are never too intense. The height of conflict revolves around things like someone's inability to locate the perfect spot to snap a romantic photo for a new tourism brochure. I consider my time watching these shows spouse bonding time , and emotional training. My favorite thing about watching feel-good shows with Stacia is getting to observe her facial reactions to the on-screen drama. When two people lean in for a long-anticipated kiss, Stacia tucks her knees into her chest and frowns with her forehead while lifting her chin and bottom lip. While I'm typically unable to suspend my disbelief, Stacia seems completely entranced by the various characters' emotions. Wishing I could join her in being swept aw...

Who's Got The Funk?

I am an amateur guitarist, and I've got no funk. My musical skills seem to lacking that special something . Great musicians have it . Those fortunate enough to have gotten hold of  it , create timeless hits. While musicians without it  fade into oblivion. After spending hours searching through Blues history websites and 1970's band documentaries online, I discovered what that special something  is thank to a (70% Man, 30% fish) character from the BBC show "The Mighty Boosh" named Old Gregg. He identified that  thing  as  The Funk ! But what exactly is The Funk ? Here is some dialogue from the show to help explain its origin and purpose: Old Gregg: You're a musician, yeah? Howard: Yes I am. Old Gregg: Butchya ain't very good, are ya? Howard: I'm one of the best in town. Old Gregg: Come on, I read your reviews. Hmm? You know what your problem is? Howard: What? Old Gregg: Ya ain't got the funk. You're all rigid. Hmm? You're l...
