Article: Making sales takes a special set of skills, and it's hard work. Still, you don't want to suggest to your force that the job is impossible. Always speak in encouraging tones about progress. That will make your team want to strive for continued success. If a team is having trouble making sales, it's often because they don't understand or believe in their product. Taking time to explain your product and talk about its benefits to your team will help them make compelling pitches and complete sales. For instance: If you're selling clothing, talk about its durability or quality. Give team members a chance to try the clothing for themselves. They can then tell customers about their first-hand experience. If you're selling home solar panels, spend time talking to your team about how much this can save consumers on power bills, how efficient the product is, and so on. Specific data will give your team something concrete to talk with customers about. Taking some time to congratulate and reward your salesforce for doing well will be greatly appreciated. Just make sure that if you're recognizing individual employees, you have concrete reasons for doing so. This will stop other team members feel like the employees are being unfairly recognized. For instance, you could have a running policy of recognizing any team member who exceeds their quota by 10 percent or more. Recognize individual employees in whatever ways seem appropriate. You could use an employee of the month plaque, or take them out to lunch, for instance. You could also recognize the team as a whole, for instance, if it exceeds its quarterly quota.

Set a positive tone. Train your force to have confidence in your product. Recognize your team members when they do well.

Problem: Article: One common mistake that newer players often make is attempting to "scoop" the ball, or fling it upwards in an effort to get it airborne. By doing this, you only end up sacrificing accuracy and distance. The lofted head of the club is what's responsible for creating lift, so just focus on connecting squarely and pushing the ball forward. The iron will take care of the rest. To get the hang of hitting in a forward direction, take a few half-speed swings using a putter, then switch to your iron of choice and replicate the same motion. A good iron shot will often end with a divot, which happens when the head of the club slices into the ground after striking the ball, taking a piece of the turf with it. These marks can be useful indicators of strong, precise swings. With enough practice, you'll notice divots popping up after almost every shot. There's a big difference between ending a shot with a nice, clean divot and simply digging up chunks of the green. You'll know it when you feel it. With a textbook divot, the head of your club should contact the ball first, then the ground. This means that the divot itself will be in front of the ball, not behind it. Irons are designed to get down under the ball and lift them clear of the ground. This feature makes them perfect for saving wayward balls from wilder parts of the course, including the rough, low brush, bunkers, and even shallow water hazards. Just be sure to select an iron with a loft suitable for the severity of the terrain. The number stamped on an iron corresponds to the amount of loft produced by the head. The higher the number, the steeper the angle and the greater the loft. If you find yourself stuck in a deep bunker, you also have the option of grabbing a wedge. Wedges are a special subset of irons with short shafts, high lofts, and heavy heads. They're used mostly for making short-distance "lob" shots.
Summary: Let the club lift the ball rather than trying to force it into the air. Check your divots after each shot. Play your irons to get yourself out of sticky situations.

Before beginning the process of dating, think about what kind of relationship you want and what kind of person you want to date. Most relationships are best when you start out as friends because it gives you an opportunity to figure out if you are compatible and if the person has the characteristics that you desire in a mate. While some people do not like being single, sometimes you have to think about everything that you have going on in your life and decide whether or not you even need to be in a relationship. If you need to focus on school, work, or family matters, the answer may be no, for the time being. There is nothing wrong with being single. If you are part of the LGBTQ community, you may have a circle of friends that you hang out with, and there is a chance, perhaps just a small chance, that you may already know someone that you want to date in that circle. If this is not the case, you can find a potential boyfriend while going to school, work, and even while traveling. The opportunities are endless. If you meet someone and you know that he has a same-sex preference and you also know that he is public about his sexual preference, then you can be cautiously public about expressing your interest in getting to know him. If you meet someone and you are not sure about his sexual preference, hold off on publically expressing any feelings that you may have towards him because this could create an uncomfortable situation for both of you. There are LGBTQ clubs and organizations that provide a wealth of programs in communities around the world. There are also awareness centers and resources focused on assisting and celebrating the LGBTQ community. Many long-term relationships, and even some marriages, have started with an introduction by a friend or co-worker. Do not be afraid to ask the people from these groups to introduce you to someone. Often, those you spend the most time with know you best and can serve as great matchmakers. You can use social media to get connected and meet new people. While you do not want to be aggressive when sending non-private messages, social media platforms, such as Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter, can be used to expand your network of acquaintances. The more people you meet, the greater likelihood you have of finding a boyfriend. There are online dating websites that offer a same-sex option, such as OurTime, Match, and Zoosk. As with anywhere else in life, you have to be cautious when meeting people that you do not know. This rule applies if you meet someone at a grocery store or at a nightclub. It applies across the board.
