Financial Expert Reveals Your Safest Investment
Andrew Tobias, author of the perennial best-seller The Only
Investment Guide You�ll Ever Need, unequivocally says the best
and safest �investment� in the world is to pay off your
high-interest credit card balances. He explains that not having to
pay 20% interest on a credit card is as good as earning 20%
tax-free, risk-free � it�s phenomenal!
Yet according to Bernice Kanner, a columnist for financial media
giant Bloomberg LP and author of Are You Normal About Money,
contends that only 49% of Americans pay their credit-card bills in
full to avoid the high interest charged. While American Express
reports an incredible 43% of small-business owners use their high
interest, credit cards� revolving credit to help sustain their
operations.
Plus the card issuers are putting the squeeze on customers by
boosting late fees, which have climbed 146% since 1994, to $35. So
take action by making plans now. Put extra effort into your barter
endeavors, to free up additional cash. Then you can make the best,
safest �investment� in the world � systematically paying off your
high interest credit cards.

Reclaiming Customers Can Get Some Quick Profits!
Marketing consultant George Walther says most businesses waste too
much time trying to land new customers, when they could be making
much more money reclaiming former ones.
�Customers who have walked out or fallen away are a major source of
profits left untapped by most companies. The fact is former
customers know who you, thought enough of you to buy, and could
without much effort be induced to do so again.�
Incredibly, 68% of those customers who drop off do so simply because
they sense indifference. Walther contends that most customers leave
our conveyor belts because we don�t show them how important they
are.
His
suggestion: Call them!
