Dear Colleague,

You obviously want success in your business. Whether you're an entrepreneur, consultant, CEO, manager, specialist, or generalist, you naturally have a burning desire to improve your company's bottom line.

Does any of this sound like your situation? Meetings are unmanageable. Morale is bottoming out. Projects don't finish on time or on budget. Expensive mistakes occur. Productivity is leaking away. Turnover is high. Your products and services leave something to be desired. Customers are doing an about-face. You feel like your boat's bobbing blindly in uncharted waters. Why should it be so difficult to make it all work?

It makes sense that you feel concerned and frustrated. After all, you're busy running the ship. Working 12-hour days — or longer — getting your job done. How would you have time to figure out how to fix the leaks or navigate the rapids? After all, you’re focusing on your own contributions to your business. You know your specializations inside out.

But how many hours per week do you actually spend studying cutting-edge techniques for boosting productivity and performance?

In all honesty, I'll bet very few. That's why I urgently need to tell you...

Wasting Performance Opportunities
Is Like Robbing Your Own Bank — And You'd Never Want to Do That!

Remaining blissfully unaware of the power of performance opportunities can eat away at your morale and bottom line like corrosive acid. Your business may be losing money every day.

Fortunately, help is just a click away. My award-winning Special Report and Workbook set, “Straight Talk on Boosting Business Performance: 12 Ways to Profit from Hidden Potential,” will help you steer a straight course. Imagine experiencing the satisfaction and rewards of revitalizing your business, regardless of your role in your organization!

When you have the right formula, you can stop the losses and prevent further damage. That's exactly what the Special Report and Workbook set teaches you. And you don't need to be someone in authority to make it happen. Until you have that formula, however, you may be missing dozens of chances daily or weekly to:

	Turn your meetings into gold mines (no more wasting 3 hours with nothing to show for it!)
	Prevent costly mistakes from error-prone decisions (at last, a way to stop money-draining project failures!)
	Remove barriers to staff and customer productivity (get rid of show-stopping “hassles” once and for all)
	Help personnel become highly proficient and effective (learn how to get the best results from your staff and colleagues)
	Design and develop outstanding products and services (make sure you offer what your customers really want and need)
	Make products and services as easy to use as possible (and find out whether your customers get real benefit from them) and
	Create consistently exceptional customer experiences (turn your prospects into customers — then into raving fans!)

So, What Is a Performance Opportunity?

A performance opportunity is one of the key elements of the business prosperity formula. To put it simply,

A performance opportunity is a cause-and-effect relationship between an event, activity, or condition in your enterprise and a particular type of outcome.

For example, performance opportunities may involve:

	*Enhancing positive* situations** (such as expanding an incentive program)
	*Removing negative* situations** (such as eliminating work obstacles)

Using both types of interventions can give powerful results! The key is that you can recognize and act on performance opportunities. Or you can simply ignore them. (And you definitely don't want to ignore them.)

That's why the Special Report explains 12 critical performance opportunities from an aerial perspective. By giving you a small taste of these important, interrelated topics, the Report provides insight without overwhelm.

It reveals the compelling stories of several companies that have either taken advantage of — or missed — these very same chances. Through these episodes, you'll discover new ways to succeed in four major areas:

1.	Meetings and Decision Making
2.	Effectiveness and Productivity
3.	Projects and Risk Management
4.	Product and Service Value

Once you read my Special Report, you won't have a single doubt about how your organization can benefit from this approach. Here's what one reader had to say:

“Adele, after reading the first few lines, the only thing I can say is: EVERY COMPANY NEEDS THIS BOOK!

“Most companies suffer from the problems you're addressing, but I've never seen them articulated in quite the way you have. I'd say your book should really resonate with a lot of people.

“I kept finding myself nodding my head as I read: yes, I've experienced everything you talk about. The book is a good read; I like all the stories and anecdotes and quotes, the warm, personal writing style, and the concise, insightful conclusions you draw.”

— John Bowie,
User Experience Leader, GE Healthcare Technologies

Each Missed Opportunity Can Take a
Hidden Toll on Your Bottom Line

Taken together, lost performance opportunities drain your potential to succeed. The best thing about performance opportunities is that by becoming aware of them, you can take advantage of them. And with the help of the Special Report and Workbook, you can immediately stem the losses and start tapping your hidden profit potential.

How Did the Special Report Come About?

Through my diverse business experiences, I've helped facilitate dozens of business improvement initiatives.

Over the years, however, I've found very little that explains in simple, layperson terms how individuals or companies can, without expensive consulting help, increase business performance in a systematic yet flexible way.

Most information I uncovered was too narrow in scope, too complex, too rigid, or designed for people who were already experts in business improvement. So I finally stepped in to develop a wide-ranging tool kit aimed at people who are not specialists in these areas, to enable anyone to apply these valuable skills.

So, armed with this information...

You'll Have What It Takes
to Influence Your Own Situation!

Regardless of your role in the organization, you have the power to increase the success of your company. You can do it through persuasion, training, modeling new techniques, or simply explaining new ideas. The Special Report and Workbook are designed so that you — or anyone else in your business — can begin making a big difference in your organization right away.

This means you don't need to be someone in authority to make that difference. You could be a CEO, outside consultant, manager, or student intern — the techniques will work just the same. So, why shouldn't you experience the satisfaction and rewards of positively influencing the performance of the enterprise?

Here Are 7 Important Reasons Why
You Can Do It:

1.	The information is easy to understand and apply. You and your colleagues don't have to be experts or specialists, or have experience with complex terms or technologies to use these ideas. I explain everything in an easy-reading, jargon-free style that requires very little effort to absorb.
2.	The techniques can be used a few at a time, or all together. You can apply as few or as many ideas as you like; however, the more you use, the better your overall results can be! You're in complete control of the scope and timing. You don't have to swallow a big, unwieldy pill to get the results you want.
3.	You can use this approach with many other techniques. The Special Report and Workbook set can help you even if you're using other business improvement tools. That's because I distill and combine approaches from several flexible and potent sources with solid, time-tested track records. I guarantee they will be compatible with any methods you're already using.
4.	By simply starting somewhere, you can begin to make a difference. So many people fear making mistakes. Instead of feeling paralyzed, however, feel confident that you're taking the first important step toward re-energizing your organization. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain, since this product is backed by a 100% money-back satisfaction guarantee.
5.	The Special Report set is inexpensive and cost-effective. Many expensive, consulting-based systems exist today to help businesses hone their profitability and performance. In contrast, my Special Report and Workbook are practical and economical to use — and can ultimately make money for your enterprise.
6.	The Workbook helps you create your own success blueprint. The interactive, step-by-step Workbook guides you in developing your own performance plan, which sets your foundation for success. You won't have to invent anything to get started — you can hit the ground running!
7.	You can learn at your convenience, in your own way. You'll have instant access to my Special Report and Workbook in the form of downloadable PDF files, which you can print out or use electronically. You'll be able learn in your ideal mode and place — at home, at work, or on the go!

Here are more comments received...

“Adele, it's about 3:20 a.m. Monday morning. I was riveted by the content within your product and found time flying as I was reading it!”

Greg Williams “If someone is really serious about obtaining peak performance in his or her environment(s), the overall knowledge-based information presented in the Report and accompanying Workbook is a ‘must read.’ No matter the project or self/personal enhancement being sought, there is information in this Report that anyone and everyone can use.

“The reading is informative, light, and filled with motivating knowledge that should lead the reader that is seeking to improve her environment to effortlessly flip from one page to another. Stories and quotes serve as inspiration and allow the reader to gain additional insight into the deeper meaning of performance opportunities.

“The Workbook takes that analysis to the next level by allowing the reader to participate in knowledge-based exercises that give a real hands-on approach to the material. I found myself reflecting on some of my past experiences and getting insight into how I might have addressed some situations differently. The forms are not only useful and very easy to work with, but they are also real added value components of the entire product.

“I really perceive this Report as having something for everyone who is serious about enhancing performance.”

You'll Come Away Inspired and Eager to Take Action

Take it from me, most businesses wait too long to figure how to prevent and solve performance problems. Why delay until your organization is unraveling at the seams?

Look at it this way — how much would boosted productivity, bolstered morale, and a healthier bottom line be worth to your company today? $5,000? $10,000? $50,000? $100,000? Priceless?

Business consultants can charge thousands of dollars to provide even basic advice to an enterprise. I don't think paying that kind of money should be necessary to reap the benefits that will be available to you from using this cost-effective product.

To get started, all you need is a basic blueprint to begin moving things in the right direction. And that's exactly what my Special Report and Workbook will give you, plus much more. Be assured it will not be complicated! In fact, you'll be relieved to know you are shaping a new direction for your enterprise and excited about the prospects for the future.

As you're sitting there poring over this information, I can't say for certain what will inspire you the most about all of the benefits you can imagine receiving from these valuable tools. But I CAN predict that you'll heave a big sigh of relief and feel great satisfaction after you click the order link to download your copies today!

So, How Much Does It Cost?

Even though this Special Report and Workbook package and the three bonuses are valued at a total of $285, I'm offering the PDF versions for an introductory price of only $47.00 — a drop in the bucket compared with the value of what you can take away from them. Best of all, these will be easy-to-understand strategies that you can use immediately.

Remember — you'll walk away with a completed Performance Opportunity Plan™ and a renewed sense of confidence about how to get the most out of your business or organization. Plus, you'll have the additional guidance from the bonus meeting guide and newsletter to help maintain your forward momentum!

Is There a Catch?
Am I Practically Giving This Package Away?

There's no catch! Since you'll be downloading the PDF files directly from the Internet, I'll have no need to charge you tax or shipping for the digital files only. I don't need to pay anyone to take orders over the phone (although you are welcome to call me at 805-462-2187, 9:00-6:00 M-F Pacific Time, to rest assured that I am a real person!) This way I can pass along my cost savings to you. But don't worry, downloading the files is a snap! I'm no “techno-whiz” and I had no problem. And best of all, the Special Report and Workbook files will open fine on both Mac and Windows computers.
