About: Michael D. Goodman is a Phoenix native who has enjoyed 28 years of success in business and sales. Michael founded Valley Knights Courier Service in the early 80’s, grew it into a national delivery organization with local offices in Phoenix and Tucson. Selling it in the 90’s, Michael took a few years pursuing personal dreams including facilitating self esteem, relationship and communication seminars and instructing beginning skiers. Turning back to the business world, Michael built a successful career in technical education sales and left that industry as the General Manager for Phoenix and Tucson of ExecuTrain, a global software training company. In education, Michael recognized that by developing strong sales teams, strong companies would follow. Embarking on the Two Grand (2000) Plan at the end of 2000, Michael has since developed the American Sales Academy, USSalesForce (a sales development organization) and AzSalesPros, a professional association for sales people now 400 members strong. Michael is also the author of the Solomon Sales System, a simple conversation to understand the Return on Investment required by the buyer. The conversation obviates the need for most sales “technique” and makes the whole process simple and comfortable for all participants. Michael is proud of the revenue growth of his clients and associates who number in the thousands assisted by his efforts. US SalesForce Corp., 14900 N Pima Road, 102-315, Scottsdale, AZ 85260.

I want to start by stating I was not intentionally eaves dropping… at least not at first. After all, I was already seated when two guys sat down beside and a little behind me. It was difficult not to... Read more »

About: Thank you to Frank and staff at FranksReelReviews.com for all the great work! We watch a lot of movies. Way more than we like to admit. On this site, we'll provide you with an unbiased (OK....maybe sometimes we have an ulterior motive) critique of the movie along with some plot discussion, talent commentary and message forums chock full of comments, observations and trivial tidbits. You'll also notice that we have a unique method of rating movies as well. We have no studio affiliations, so we won't praise a movie if it sucked and we won't rip a movie just because everyone else liked it. Sure, we have our preferences and our biases, but we promise to keep an open mind and rate a film on its own merits.See Author's Posts (22)

About: Linda S. Thompson’s fascination with the multigenerational challenges we all face in today’s society began while she was writing her first book, Planning for Tomorrow, Your Passport to a Confident Future. That book provides guidelines and options that help people prepare their own safety net. Her approach to those not so pleasant and all too often avoided (but necessary) details, will help people understand how they can protect their families and secure their own futures. It was then that she began to understand why we have conflict in our homes, in our offices, and in everything we do throughout our days. That ‘AHA’ moment became one chapter in her book. That one chapter eventually became the book, Every Generation Needs a New Revolution. As a working caregiver for over ten years, Linda had hands-on experience dealing with the many issues of the aging of America. That experience led her to write "A Caregiver’s Journey, You Are Not Alone.” Through her lectures, seminars and publications, Linda has impacted thousands of lives. Not only does she help people understand how to peacefully coexist with other generations, she also helps them to understand that the realities of life and death frequently come at the least expected times. She teaches us to accept that life planning isn't just for the older generations, but for us all - from the college student to the octogenarian. As she says, “Life happens while we're busy making other plans.”See Author's Posts (8)
