 <title>Network Marketing Survey (1)  </title>
 <link>http://www.fastcompany.com/blog/elizabeth-roberts/dont-fall-love-corporation-it-can-not-love-you-back-potpourri-procurement-sp-3</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Recently I conducted a survey on Network Marketing and what people think of the industry.  I received some interesting information.  I will be sharing the results in several upcoming blog posts.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This was a simple survey with only 31 responding; however the consensus was that 65.4% of those surveyed had, or is having, a positive experience with Network Marketing.  What I found even more interesting is that there were 29 different companies mentioned by the 31 participants. &lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Is Your Career Your Identity?</title>
 <link>http://www.fastcompany.com/blog/elizabeth-roberts/dont-fall-love-corporation-it-can-not-love-you-back-potpourri-procurement-sp-2</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
While doing research for my book, Don&#039;t Fall In Love With A Corporation; It Can Not Love You Back, I have found that way too many of us idenitify ourselves by our careers.  What happens when you are impacted by corporate downsizing if your identity is that of your career?  Yes, I realize a professional can move on to another corporation and remain in corporate America, however what if that is not your desire?
&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Negotiation Tip #2</title>
 <link>http://www.fastcompany.com/blog/elizabeth-roberts/dont-fall-love-corporation-it-can-not-love-you-back-potpourri-procurement-sp-1</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
For this tip I will use mobile phone service as the negotiation example.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
If  you are looking to lower your monthly cost for your mobile phone service the first thing you should do is look at the history of your current account to get a base line for where you are and where you need to be. You need to know what you have spent over the last year.&lt;br /&gt;
Now that you know your base line spend make a list of all of the services that you require such as free nights and weekends, unlimited week day minutes, call waiting, and etc.
&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Negotiation Tips For The Non Negotiator - Tip #1</title>
 <link>http://www.fastcompany.com/blog/elizabeth-roberts/dont-fall-love-corporation-it-can-not-love-you-back/negotiation-tips-non-nego</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
Not all people are born negotiators, that is why we have different personalities (some passive some aggressive) so with this in mind I, a known negotiator from birth, am setting out to help all of those non negotiators out there.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Tip #1 Negotiating The Purchase Of An Automobile
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Did you know that there are questions that an automobile dealer asks you just to find out how much you know about negotiating?  Did you know there is ONE questions that you can ask over and over to get the best deal possible?
&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>The Number One Leading CEO</title>
 <link>http://www.fastcompany.com/blog/elizabeth-roberts/dont-fall-love-corporation-it-can-not-love-you-back/number-one-leading-ceo</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
The number one leading CEO based on company performance makes less than the one&#039;s that have shown no improvement, a decrease in earnings, or very little improvement. 
&lt;/p&gt;
