I'm in a role where I have to both interview people for sales positions and also help friends with their personal interviews. I am hoping to kill 2 birds with 1 stone here. I appreciate any feedback from seasoned sales pros and/or sales managers.

It's been a little while since I've done an adwords analysis for a client and I noticed that they changed the whole screen around. Did they do away with the old tool completely or is there a page that I can reference it on. Please provide a link if possible.

I have heard of some of these types of sites in the past, that often have funny stories. If you know of any, please post them. Thanks.

I have a contest that I'm running on www.WhatNotToGive.com about bad gifts that you have received, given or heard about. Check out www.myspace.com/badgiftpolice for some of the entrants and points to ponder. Be a good gift giver. Contest ends 12/20. Thanks for sharing.

As I'm working on a project to help people understand what it takes to be a good gift giver, I like to have examples of really bad gifts, as many of them are quite funny. If you visit www.WhatNotToGive.com, you can see examples. Obviously, Christmas and Hannukah gifts are most of the entries, but I do not want to limit you to that. Thanks for sharing. You might even win a prize (see WhatNotToGive.com for details.)

I'm collecting bad gift stories, the more details, the better. Check out more details at www.WhatNotToGive.com. Thanks for sharing.

While researching for my upcoming book and current holiday contest (www.WhatNotToGive.com) I have come across some pretty funny gag gifts. As part of this project will include gag gift ideas, I'd love to hear yours. Check out the site for more details and funny stories.

While working with a client on a holiday letter, we discussed the idea of having a contest for the worst gifts received. You can read more about it at www.WhatNotToGive.com and maybe win a prize for sumitting one there as well, but I'd love to hear your stories here, the more detail the better. You can send me a message if you'd like to talk or have pictures of some of the items. Thanks for sharing. Encourage your friends to answer this one. My wife and I have had some great laughs already this season!

After a conversation with a client about his biggest pet peeve or getting gift cards to places that he doesn't shop, we discussed the idea of having a contest for the worst gifts received.

I am hoping to get some funny stories to share with other recruiters over cocktails, but also I am really morecurious about the most common mistakes that many people don't recognize as mistakes in the interviewing process.

As a recruiter, I am always looking help my candidates improve their skills. Preparation is key. What gave you trouble and how did you answer the question?

I am looking for creative ways to start off business trainings and meetings. Any suggestions from your past? Multiple answers will have a better shot at getting the best answer.

I often find myself in the situation where I am helping plan events. When I was in my fraternity, we used several clever themes to help people get to know one another in a group setting for the first time.

I am looking for some additional suggestions that might be helpful in a more professional setting. If you give multiple suggestions, you have a better shot at best answer!

There are a number for programs that talk about buying house for $.10-.15 on the $1, but they don't address the negative aspects of this type of real estate transaction. What are the pitfalls and why don't more people do this? I'm assuming there are more legal issues but would like to talk with people that do this. Feel free to email me to talk more in depth.

I am putting together a program for a professional speaker that has over 40 years experience in the industry of customer service and sales training. I have a great respect for learning from the accomplishments of others. I am curious if anyone else has the curiosity of what he learned in all that time working with hundreds of companies in numerous industries? If you could sit down with him for 30 or 60 minutes, what would you ask and what would it be worth to you?

I am putting a class together for some clients and am curious to see what other people are concerned with. If these is something that plagues you currently, that would be fine as well. If you did something or read a good book to overcome the problem, including that information would also be helpful.

I am currently trying to drill down on the best way to target personal health insurance clients, by demographical and psychograpical data. What were the questions you asked to get you to that point. I'm in the Georgia area, so if you are out of state, I won't be competing with you. I have some ideas, but am working on some test marketing pieces and want to make sure I'm hitting the best sample. Thanks for your help.
