The ninth speech in the Toastmaster’s Competent Communicator manual is entitled “Persuade With Power” and focuses on using a speech to persuade the audience to adopt a particular point of view. The first objective of project number nine is to persuade the listeners to adopt the speaker’s viewpoint or ideas or to persuade the listeners to take some sort of action. For example, if  the speaker is attempting to persuade his or her audience on the virtue of outsourcing a business’s IT functionality to an IT support Austin he or she might want to argue that maintaining an in house IT department can be a major headache.

 

The second main objective to project number nine is for the speaker to appeal to the audience’s interests. Presumably if the speaker is speaking to an audience of people who manage businesses with in house IT departments he or she is probably speaking about something that will interest them.

 

The third main objective to project number nine is for the speaker to use logic and emotion to support his or her opinion. In the example we are working with this objective can be easily obtained by discussing details regarding the various frustrations involved in managing an in house IT department. This can involve the need to maintain a help desk on call twenty four hours a day and seven days a week for example. Clearly when a business outsources its IT functionality to a managed IT services Austin these frustrations will largely be alleviated.

 

All of these points and more should be made by the speaker without the use of notes. Once a speaker reaches project number nine he or she will likely be able to deliver a speech without the use of notes. Most speakers learn pretty early on that notes can actually be an impediment to effectively delivering a speech because when a speaker refers to notes while speaking this usually works to break the flow of the message being delivered.

The Microcosm of the Macrocosm

The laws of physics govern the various behaviors exhibited by colliding objects. When objects collide, they do so according to these rules of physics. As such, the crumpling of the component parts can be expressed in terms of a mathematical equation. It is likely that a mechanic working in an auto body repair Salt Lake City does not have a solid grasp of the laws of physics and the mathematical equations which govern and describe the damage endured by the car being repaired. This, however, is of no importance because knowledge of the laws of physics and its mathematical equations is not required to perform the work to repair the impacts of these laws.

 

Despite this fact, it is interesting to consider the fact that although a mechanic working in an auto body Salt Lake City shop need not be in possession of specific knowledge regarding the laws of physics, he or she is still responding to them. In a sense the two work in concert and together create a larger organism which can be said to possess the knowledge of the laws of physics and perform the work to repair the impact that the laws of physics had upon the objects which collided into each other.
From a larger perspective all living beings and moving objects form a living, functioning organism. From this perspective it does not matter that one part of the organism does not know the function of another part of the organism. In a similar way a skin cell in a human body is probably not aware of the math test that the human being is taking. Nevertheless, the organism that is the human body functions despite the fact that its component parts do not have full knowledge about the function of all the other component parts.

Psychological Advantages to Used Car Dealerships in Salt Lake City

      Comments Off on Psychological Advantages to Used Car Dealerships in Salt Lake City

Many people are well aware that there are very strong psychological advantages associated with purchasing used cars Salt Lake City as compared with purchasing a new car. For example, the owner of a used car will often not have to worry about accumulating minor scratches and other esthetic forms of damage to their car in the same way or to the same degree that an owner of a new car is likely to experience. Moreover, the owner of a used car might not have to worry about where he or she parks his or her car for the very same reason. This is true because a brand new car exists in a more perfected state. As such a minor scratch does more to remove the car from this perfected state which has a strong psychological impact. By contrast a used car is already not in a state of perfection and therefore a scratch will not have the same psychological force.

However, these psychological advantages associated with used cars Utah often do not serve to motivate people to make the choice to purchase a used car as opposed to a new car. Clearly the greatest force of motivation behind the purchase of a used car is the price. A new car simply costs more than a used car. What is more, a new car will begin to depreciate far more rapidly than a used car will depreciate after it is driven off the lot.

The psychological advantages of purchasing a used car touched upon in the first paragraph serve to reinforce the emotional satisfaction the purchaser of the used car will feel after the transaction has occurred. As such even though these advantages do not serve to motivate the purchase this does not mean that the advantage is not a powerful or valuable force.

Important Safety Issues in Buying Used Cars Salt Lake City

When making the choice to purchase a used car, there are some pros and cons you should take into consideration. The benefits include a lower purchase price, the possibility of lower property taxes and an overall reduction in the cost of car insurance.

The downside is that there are approximately over 2 million vehicles involved in accidents every year and the odds of you finding one of those cars damaged is high. Also, your used car Salt Lake City will not include a new car warranty, and there is a chance that the vehicle might be prone to problems a lot sooner obviously than if it was brand new.

Consider taking these steps before you even begin the process of looking for a used car. Most dealerships offer Certified, Pre-Owned Vehicles. This is your best bet in the used car market. CPO vehicles on average have less than 50,000 miles and have passed multi-point inspections. Any issues regarding service or repairs are handled before the car is put on the lot. Most automotive companies will include an extended warranty at no extra cost, towards extra parts (like transmission and engine). These will be the cleanest and most well-maintained used cars.

Look for used cars that have a considerable amount, or at least a portion of their manufacturer’s warranty left. Often with later model cars you run the risk of the three year/36,000 mile warranty having expired. If you limit your search to cars that haven’t yet hit that mark, you will be searching for a better-used car. Make sure to ask if the warranty is one that is completely transferable.

Ask the dealer to provide the vehicle’s service records. If the registers are up to date and complete, that is usually a good sign. Now if you are told that the files are unavailable, that is a little suspicious. You want a used car that has been taken care of and is in excellent condition. If the dealer appears as though he is hiding something, even if it is service records, then he usually is. That is why it is in your best interest to have a third-party mechanic look over the vehicle. This might be the exact make/model you are looking for, yet just by looking at it, you have no idea what this car has been through. A technician can put the vehicle up on a lift and spot any prior crash damage, corrosion, frame damage that might be hidden and any leaks. Be cautious of a dealer who refuses the opinion of an outside mechanic. That usually means he is aware of the damage that you might not recognize on your own.

Your used car must pass the safety and emissions tests given by your state. This is a legal requirement, and will be your responsibility. You want to avoid any extra costs and fees towards your used car. Make sure it is clear to pass these tests before purchasing. You will not be able to register or drive the car until it passes inspections. Be careful not to sign any “As Is” statements on a contract. By doing so, you are accepting that once the car leaves the lot, any problems are now your problems. About 30 days are necessary to make sure that there is nothing wrong with the used vehicle.

It is crucial to conduct a background check on the used car of your interest. Inspecting it on your own and even with the assistance from the third party mechanic will not tell you the history on the vehicle. There will be listings that pertain to recalls and safety-related defects. If there are any complaints about this vehicle, the Internet is the place to find them. Consumer Reports is also an excellent source of information.

Finally, take the Vehicle Identification Number of the used car and run a report through a reputable company such as CARFAX or Experian AutoCheck Vehicle History. You will learn about prior accidents, manufacturer buybacks and any fraud towards the vehicle. In the long run, you will be thankful for running all of the extra checks before purchasing a used car. If you can’t get a new vehicle, make sure that you get the used one that comes close to being just that.
