Imagine this: You're selling cars. A couple with a new baby walks in. You greet them at the dealership doors; you make cooing sounds at their bundle of joy. You start the needs conversation: features, price range, etc. They explain that now that they have a child they're looking to trade in their sporty two-door for something more spacious and family accommodating. You walk them out to the rows of gleaming cars beneath the waving flags and balloons, showing them a few SUV and van options in their price range. Credit gets checked. Papers get signed. They drive away in something new.
That might be the end of the story, except you're not just a cheap suit with dollar signs for eyes. You care. What you're selling them is not simply a mini-van—it's their whole life laid out in an afternoon of car shopping: The vehicle you're going to put them in is first a high safety-rated automobile that will provide comfort and peace of mind as they transport their precious cargo; that will, when junior gets older, get him to his soccer games; that will, a few years later, be the car in which she learns to drive; that will, in the empty-nest phase, be the reliable beater that takes him away to college. Are you passionate about mini-vans? Not really. But you are passionate about putting this nice young family into a roomy car with a built-in, Cheerios-sucking vacuum that will drive them into the rest of their lives. At least … you should be that salesperson.
Attitude is everything in sales. So is mindset. If you lack enthusiasm for your product line, for the sales cycle, and for how the prospect will benefit, you will alienate your customer in one way or another. Or, to put it more positively, having passion for what and how you're selling is key to making your customer—and yourself—happy.
When you're at the juncture of making a sale, you should have arrived at that point because you armed the buyer with knowledge and gave great advice, guiding them to their purchase decision. You will have successfully demonstrated how your solution meets their needs. It's not just that they trust you at this point, they also trust that you have a strong conviction about the value and effectiveness of what you're selling. They know that you stand behind your claims, and that their needs rank highest in your mind. In all these ways and more, you will have acted as a trusted advisor.
with your gym, which is selling a healthy lifestyle in a feng shui arrangement of workout machines. Or your alarm company, which helps you sleep at night because you know your family is safe from ski-mask wearing evildoers who lurk in the shadows of the world.
You know how it is when you're the customer. So see the big picture through your customer's eyes. Understand that passion for what you're selling is key, and that you always must address the needs—and hopes and wishes and desires and fears—of your customer. A top-of-the-line $5,000 camera is overkill for a hobby shooter. A $500 model will provide that shutterbug with the same features needed to get them on the road to artistic expression. If you're in the camera business, you understand that, and hopefully you choose to help the customer make the best choice for them. Later, they might come back to you for the 5K camera. Or not. Bottom line is you're building trust and advising.
Passion doesn't just waft forth as you wax admirably about your products, it also comes through in how well you listen to the customer's requests. And, following that, how effectively you lay out the ways in which your solution will fit the customer's needs as you've come to understand them … through listening. That car salesperson could have tried selling the family of three a motorcycle with a sidecar for the baby. But only if he or she was turning a deaf ear to what those young parents were saying.
What does it mean to be passionate about your products? How do you know you've got passion? You can measure it in a number of ways. One is to gauge the customer's responses at the close of a transaction, and then take their pulse again as you circle back with them a few days later, determining if they still feel as strongly about your products and services as they did that first day. You can also measure effective passion by referral sales and repeat business. Largely based on your passion, customers recommend you to their peers; they want to carry forth the message that both you and your offerings are well-worth it.
You cannot be a trusted advisor without passion. We don't mean trotting out the "I have the same one at home" trick. Having passion (as well as compassion) means you genuinely keep the customer's wellbeing in mind. You're looking into their future, and continually striving toward a single goal: their needs. Aim for that and you're working well; you're working for the customer. Also, you're helping yourself, because in always wanting the best possible outcome for your customer, you carry on a happier, more fulfilled work life—one in which you enjoy what you do. Does the barista make the dragon because she has to? No, because she wants to.
atmosphere of positivity and genuine caring. And who doesn't want to buy that?

Owlstone Medical Announces Advancements in Breath Biopsy Platform Including Launch of Next Generation ReCIVA Breath Sampler and CASPER Portable Air Supply
Cambridge, UK, 05 September, 2019: Owlstone Medical, the global leader in Breath Biopsy® for applications in early disease detection and precision medicine, today announced the introduction of a new ReCIVA® Breath Sampler and CASPERTM Portable Air Supply, designed to support internal biomarker discovery programs and those of academic and biopharma clients, and to measure levels of known volatile organic compounds (VOCs) on breath.
The discovery of biomarkers, whether in blood, tissue, or breath, can be difficult. Issues can arise throughout the process, with two of the most challenging being the impact of background noise and the risk of contamination, and the collection of sufficient levels of chemicals such that they can be measured and changes in their levels detected. Owlstone Medical has focused on addressing these challenges through the development of its proprietary Breath Biopsy platform, which has enabled the Company to become the only commercial provider of breath-based biomarker discovery services.
The reliable measurement of low concentration VOCs lies at the heart of successful breath biomarker discovery programs. By helping to exclude VOC contaminants from the environment and reduce background, CASPER is an important part of what makes Breath Biopsy both accurate and consistent. The new CASPER includes a range of benefits over its predecessor including uniting the airflow pump and filter into a single casing that connects directly to the ReCIVA Breath Sampler, the use of filter cartridges which can be easily replaced, and active warnings when the filter cartridge needs changing or of temperature or airflow issues.
The Company has implemented new software to monitor subject breathing and VOC collection through ReCIVA, including a simpler user interface and the ability to set different levels of access to settings for different users. Work is also ongoing to improve the ergonomics, ease-of-use, comfort, and robustness of the ReCIVA Breath Sampler.
Billy Boyle, co-founder and CEO at Owlstone Medical, said: "Our Breath Biopsy platform and our ability to discover and validate breath-based biomarkers is the foundation of our business, underpinning both our revenue-generating research products and services and our Breath Biopsy test development efforts. Continued investment in our industry-leading platform is therefore an important component of our strategy, and we are very pleased to announce the launch of the new CASPER and ReCIVA and to be able to deploy these technologies into our internal development programs and to make them available to our customers."

Omaha Lit Fest puts focus on Women Writers and Women in Publishing
October 6, 2012 leoadambiga	Leave a comment Go to comments
There's nothing else quite like the (downtown) Omaha Lit Fest in these parts. Oh, there's plenty of literary events to go around, but you'd be hard-pressed to find something as quirky as this annual assemblage of writerly concerns and pursuits. The wording of this year's theme, The Lit Fest Guide to Etiquette for Women Writers, is in keeping with the sardonic leanings of novelist and event founder-director Timothy Schaffert (The Coffins of Little Hope). The October 19-2o festival just goes its own way in following whatever trail of thought and literary trend that suits the quixotic Schaffert. He brings in a great lineup of authors and artists every year for never less than interesting conversations and presentations about all things related to writing, editing, publishing. It's well worth checking out.

Appeared in The Reader (www.thereader.com)
It should be no surprise the author of languidly paced satirical novels (The Coffins of Little Hope) that delight in peculiar, piquant details should fashion a literary happening along the same lines.
Novelist Timothy Schaffert has done just that with the (downtown) Omaha Lit Fest, a free celebration of prose, poetry and other word-made-art expressions.
He founded Lit Fest eight years ago and continues organizing the annual literary salon today. This year's event luxuriates in its delightful otherness Friday and Saturday, October 19 and 20, at the W, Dale Clark Library, where there will be a gender-centric focus to the readings, panels, topics and performances.
The 6:30-9:30 p.m. opening night party promises local female slam poets unleashing from 7 to 7:30, an altered books exhibit, an edible books contest and an all-girl string quartet.
Well-attuned as Schaffert is to literary currents he hit upon 2012's theme – The Lit Fest Guide to Etiquette for Women Writers – after reading about disparities females face in publishing.
Featured guest authors Elizabeth Crane (We Only Know So Much), Lisa Knopp (What the River Carries), Marilyn Coffey (Marcella) and Joy Castro (Hell or High Water) will no doubt have plenty to say on the matter.
With Great Plains writer Coffey and Cuban-American academy product Castro Schaffert's attracted two authors squarely in the Zeitgeist.
Coffey's 1973 novel Marcella broke ground and generated push back for its frank depiction of female masturbation. The book was banned in America, though Quartet in London published it in paperback. Pol and Ms. Magazine excerpted it. Danish newspapers serialized it. Now it's being republished in book form by Omega Cottonwood Press in Omaha, along with a collection of Coffey's poems, Pricksongs.
Marcella was a featured work during National Banned Book Week events in Omaha, including a marathon reading at the Benson Branch Library.
At Lit Fest Coffey's slated to be on the Saturday, 5 p.m. panel Your Guide to Unladylike Demeanor that examines "women writers making people nervous."
Meanwhile, Castro's debut novel Hell or High Water is drawing praise for her ability to sustain a taut thriller amid a complex subject and to evocatively exploit its New Orleans setting. The University of Nebraska associate professor of English and ethnic studies also has a book of personal essays out, Island of Bones, eliciting rapturous praise.
Liz Kay of Spark Wheel Press and burtdistrict in Omaha will address the entrepreneurial publishing scene. New Yorker Festival director Rhonda Sherman will discuss building an audience for the literary spectacle.
Timothy Schaffert
All of it's filtered through the perspective of women engaged in a lit world not always friendly to them. Recent counts by the women in literary arts organization VIDA show far more men than women published in leading literary publications. That concerns Schaffert enough that he's making it a point of public discussion.
"If the VIDA Count had not come into existence I might not have even been aware of the disparity, but it really kind of commands attention," says Schaffert, an UNL assistant professor of English and director of the Nebraska Summer Writers Conference.
He doesn't doubt women writers confront bias.
"Obviously some editors are going to focus on that work that crosses their desk that seems most vital and other editors aren't necessarily going to have the best ear for writing by the opposite sex. And I think for decades there's been some level of condescension towards the subjects women writers take on. There's some sense of what women's writing is that may or may not be based on anything authentic in terms of the assumptions people make about the topics of interest to women.
"I've heard of editors be dismissive of a story by nature of its topic as too domestic, for example, or too focused on the sentimental, as if that denigrated the work somehow."
Castro says VIDA, whose creative nonfiction committee she serves on, has been "working to figure out all kinds of ways to address this, in some cases publishing essays about it," adding, "In my case I got involved with guest editing an issue of a really cool online journal, Brevity Magazine, that's responding to that count."
She says her own anecdotal observations have long made her sensitive to the paucity of minority authors published in select periodicals (The Atlantic, Harper's, The New Yorker) "that determine who's a big deal and who's not." The VIDA breakout, she says, confirmed "it's not just my imagination." She says when editors are called out on the disparity they either deny a gender-based agenda or agree to proactively strive for more balance.
Joy Castro
Castro will join Kay, Knopp and Sherman for a 1 p.m. Saturday panel on the professional aspects of writing, editing and publishing. She's interested in exploring how it is more women writers come out of MFA programs than men do yet fewer get published.
"So there's like this attrition," she says. "Then where do they all go? Why don't they continue to write and publish? It's a good question. I hope people will come out and talk about it and have a really exploratory attitude about it."
That said, Castro and many other women authors fare well getting their work out and finding it well-received. Her Hell or High Water (Thomas Dunne Books) is a good illustration. The widely released book has been called "exquisite," "fierce and intense," "captivating." Dennis Lehane (Mystic River) termed it "a terrific thriller."
The book"s been optioned by film producers and Castro's already working on a sequel. She's excited that her Cuban-American protagonist, Nola, may headline a mystery series because the genre rarely features Latinas or issues of Latinidad.
Nola, a green Times-Picayune reporter assigned to investigate what happened to the registered sex offenders who went off the grid after Hurricane Katrina, serves much the same role a detective does in classic mystery tradition.
"That's the story she gets assigned and she's reluctant because it's kind of creepy. But it's sort of her first big break as a journalist, so she goes after it and of course gets in a lot of trouble," says Castro.
"In the first chapter a young woman tourist is abducted from the French Quarter and that mystery is going on at the same time and Nola starts to investigate that as well and then the two stories intertwine."
Much as Castro did in her own life, Nola comes from poverty and feels pressured to hide her past and prove herself. Castro's interest in legendary archetypes comes into play when Nola intersects with believers in the Cajun legend rougarou, which warns of a person normal by day but predatory at night. Santeria spirits also show up. By the end, Nola calls on whatever powers she can muster to protect herself.
Best known before this for her nonfiction essay collection The Truth Book: How I Survived a Childhood of Abuse Among the Jehovah's Witnesses, Castro will read from her novel and discuss her research in a 2 p.m. Saturday program.
About choosing to write a genre book for her first novel, she says, "I guess I would have anticipated I would write a literary fiction kind of novel, but I have always loved mysteries and thrillers. In deciding what to write this was the genre I got most excited about and the story seemed to keep suggesting itself to me and so I listened and paid attention and started writing.
"Writing a novel was new for me. I went through a lot of drafts. I was a slow learner."
