As you probably are aware, on October 3, 2008, President Bush signed into law the $700 billion Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (H.R. 1424), commonly known as the "Wall Street Bail Out" plan.

See-Saw. Roller Coaster. Ups and Downs. Uncertainty. Risk. Change.

You have to use your credit card to purchase the gas and the amount over $2.99 will be billed back to Chrysler. You have to give up rebate money to receive this gas offer.

How much does it cost to buy a scientific opinion? Science for sale?

Chrysler is hoping to jumpstart its faltering sales by guaranteeing customers they won’t have to pay more than $2.99 per gallon for most of the gas they use in their new Dodge, Chrysler, or Jeep for the next three years in an innovative new program that starts May 7 and runs through June 2.

For the first time in the history of Canada Post, the membership in the Canadian Union of Postal Workers(CUPW) will be receiving a Corporate Team Incentive Bonus . It's only $895.00, not as much as I thought it would be, but it's a big change from "no bonus for 150 years". I must point out that management has been getting a bonus for over 15 years, so I fought hard last year against CUPW opposition to it and finally, the union membership did accept it.There is more information concerning the Corporate Team incentive on my CUPW website at Have fun checking out my history in CUPW and the anti-war songs on the website.Below is Canada Post's spin on why the CTI wasn't in the 100% range:"2007 was a tough year with aggressive target goals.

India’s dream of becoming a global small car hub may not become reality. Car manufacturers, who are till recently beaming over the reduction of excise duty on small cars, are now considering limiting their exports to maintain profitability as the government has not given incentive to encourage the exporting of passenger cars. Lack of incentive from the government is expected to affect the growth of export business of many car manufacturers. Sale of small cars, sedan and luxury cars is increasing in domestic market but lack of incentive for export and continues depreciation of the dollar, is bound to affect the sale of many cars in overseas market.

NEW YORK: Subaru of America Inc. showed off the automaker’s R1e electric car Thursday, saying it’s fun to drive while also being easy to charge and emissions free.
The R1e has a range of 50 miles (80 kilometers) and can post a top speed of 65 mph (104 kph). It can charge to 80 percent capacity in 15 minutes using a dedicated charger, or be fully charged overnight with a regular domestic outlet, Tim Mahoney, Subaru of America’s chief marketing officer, told reporters at the New York International Auto Show.
The vehicle’s lithium-ion battery has an estimated life of 10 years or 100,000 miles (160,000 kilometers), largely eliminating battery replacement problems, Mahoney said.

Do monopolies lack an incentive to invest? I suppose they did in the ‘old world’, where business was guaranteed and a government-based owner didn’t care much about maximizing value.
However, things are different in today’s telco marketplace. Governments have largely backed out and the market has taken over. Monopolies are on the brink of extinction. Add to that the natural monopoly of fiber (

Buenas noticias para todos a los que los incentivos y el marketing relacional suponen tanto su trabajo diario como una pasión: La Incentive Marketing Association (USA) accedió recientemente a la creación de su división/Council para Europa.En una reunión que mantuve la pasada semana con Miguel Yacobi, Presidente de IMA Europe, fui informado de sus avances en la implantación de dicha división europea, tan necesitada por cierto, y de sus planes de expansión y desarrollo para el 2008.Espero algun día poder ver una feria como MOTIVATION en Europa, donde proveedores, agencias y clientes dialoguemos sobre tendencias, proyectos y colaboraciones en nuestro continente, donde cada vez mas este area relacional crece en presupuestos e importancia para los anunciantes.Sin duda era necesaria una organización que aglutinase tanto el conocimiento como fomente el networking entre participantes en un sub-sector del marketing cada vez mas relevante por su influencia directa en las ventas/cuentas
Our remodeling project to reclaim our living room, was supposed to take 2 weeks and is now going on 1 month.There are strange men in my house working producing lots of noise and dust. And preventing all naps. Yes. All naps.Last week, a worker went to the bathroom, across from the office where I am doing extremely important work and he didn't lock the door behind him. My son toddled to the bathroom, opened the door, walked in and giggled. Funny, when he learned to open doors last week, I was so proud. Oh schmitt.Since calling my son is as effective as herding cats (or managing Engineers), I repeatedly begged "COME, COME." I couldn't go in there and retreive him mid-stream?Our dog heard the "COME" command and decided to actually listen for a change. He, too, entered the bathroom bash.The worker finished and exited with my child, my dog and the look.Maybe, just maybe, this little incident will be an incentive for them to pick the project up a notch. Or take fewer bathroom breaks.

The 'Broadband Incentive Problem' must be among the most vexing for operators. Obviously, usage-based payment is a way out of it, but not easily implemented. People like flat fees and have no clue how much an MB is. Mark Desautels of CTIA recently rephrased the problem and highlighted that the flat-fee business model implies that light users (email and browsing) are in fact subsidising heavy
A new study shows that 56 percent of new home builders are now offering incentives, up from 45 percent a year ago. Personally speaking, I can vouch for the difference in attitude from Portland’s home builders today in 2007 compared to, let’s say, 2005.Before I get to that comparison, the study by the National Association of Home Builders states that incentives tend to come in terms of upgrades and not price reductions. Reason being is that builders do not want to anger prior home buyers by lowering prices in the neighborhood.Back to my perspective. I remember in the summer of 2005 that waiting lists were quite popular. Builders were selling homes at a very fast pace and incentives were not being given, generally speaking. I also recall lotteries at some of the new developments. In one case, a home builder held a lottery for the remaining lots in their subdivision and there were probably 60 families that showed up that morning. My clients won, but that’s another story. Als

Everyone - clocks shoppers included - loves a chance to get something “extra” as a part of their shopping experience, whether it be when shopping for grandfather clocks, wall clocks, mantel clocks, or atomic clocks. For that reason, 1-800-4CLOCKS is actively soliciting the input of both its customers and casual surfers for suggestions as to what might make shopping at and buying clocks and other timepieces at 1-800-4CLOCKS an experience which will surprise and delight them!
We have been thinking about random drawings for a “special something” if one purchases a clock, rewards programs (such as frequent flier miles) tied to certain purchases, merit or judge based contests where the best “widget” submitted wins, and on and on. Or maybe win an iPhone or gift certificate based on certain contest criteria.

My good friend Paul Hebert has posted a very interesting article about this field, that many companies forget in the development and tracking of incentive campaigns.I want to extract from it:"....As an example: The company wants to increase sales. They determine their sales force has the most impact on that objective so they target their sales organization for an incentive program. They know that they have a high probability of sale if the sales people follow a specific process. However, they don't track those steps. They train and communicate the steps - they rely on sales management to reinforce those steps in their "huddle sessions" - but they don't officially track those steps.

My good friend Paul Hebert has posted a very interesting article about this field, that many companies forget in the development and tracking of incentive campaigns.I want to extract from it:"....As an example: The company wants to increase sales. They determine their sales force has the most impact on that objective so they target their sales organization for an incentive program. They know that they have a high probability of sale if the sales people follow a specific process. However, they don't track those steps. They train and communicate the steps - they rely on sales management to reinforce those steps in their "huddle sessions" - but they don't officially track those steps. Therefore, when they announce the incentive program they use "sales" as the reward event. Those who sell, get the reward - all based on the assumption they are following the steps...."Link to the postTechnorati Tags: incentives, loyalty, motivation, relationship marketing, rewards, roi, sales force

Laying Down the LawThey are getting strict with the incentive program. I will admit that I was giving out fake phone numbers because I didn't want to be contacted. I actually got in trouble with my parents for getting contacted by "random" people trying to sell me stuff or trying to get me to sell stuff. Since I didn't want to get yelled at anymore, I started giving out false addresses and phone numbers. Looks like ReadersPaid has caught on and doesn't want me to be doing that anymore. They want people with geniune interest in the offers.ReadersPaid has been dropping notes below the ads like:...Remember: when you participate in our Incentive Program* you are accepting our Program Terms and Rules -- have a reasonable amount of GENUINE interest in the offer... Remember: failure to comply with our Incentive Reward Program Rules may result in account cancelation!Delivering the bad newsThe 2nd one is really what got me to write this post. It says failure to comply will result in cancelli

Chevrolet has just announced the new Incentives running from today, until March 14th, 2007. The Corvette picks up $250 for any GM Employee, Supplier, Dealership Employee, or anyone qualifying for GM Supplier for Friends. This Bonus Cash is good towards either a purchase or a lease of any 2006 or 2007 Corvette (not the Z06).
GM plans to launch their big advertising push for March Madness at the end of the first quarter. No details yet on any incentives the Corvette may receive, but in the meantime for those of you qualifying for GMS or GSU, now is a great time to act with an extra $250 on the table.
Also to note, for any dealers that have Instant Value Certificates left over from the Presidents Day Incentive Program, they do not qualify with this incentive. As always, you can email us with any incentive questions, or comment below and we'll research it for you!
Like the rat in the cage we are driven by rewards. It’s only human and also perhaps rat nature. Suffice it to say it’s nature.
So when compensation, the reward, becomes stagnant so does productivity. If like rats we are paid by the time we spend in the cage, then [...]
