Employee Success University has announced its unique and effective “Audio Coaching Conferences” where companies can train as many employees as they like for one low price!

“Audio Coaching Conferences”

are one-hour events delivered over a regular phone line. All you need to participate is a speaker phone! Employees can learn in the comfort of their own office without having to lose a day of productivity at work.

These conferences are application based and delivered by some of the most recognized experts in the fields of management, coaching, teambuilding and communication. Audio Coaching Conferences are one hour of intensive learning where participants leave with usable, cutting-edge skills to practice and implement.

Unlike most full-day public seminars which are full of one “sales pitch” after another, these high content conferences are short enough to keep participants energized but long enough to give the most advanced information, skills and insights available anywhere.

While giving over 1,000 seminars over the past 6 years, founder and president Dr. Mike Cioppa realized that their must be a better, more effective way of training employees. Dr. Mike is fond of saying, “People make positive changes when they’re being coached… not “talked at”.”

That’s when Employee Success University and the Audio Coaching Conference concept was born.

Audio Coaching Conferences solve all of the difficulties in learning that the tradiional “public” seminars present. Namely, no follow-up and way too much information presented in one session to be retained… and thats if you’re getting the right information in the first place!

Our conferences allow for questions to be asked BEFORE, AFTER and DURING the conference along with a six-week follow-up program for each participant . This follow-up includes training emails, tips, teleseminar question and answer session and the ability to communicate with other managers and employees who participated in the conference.

To find out more about the only management & employee coaching program of its kind please visit our web site: www.EmployeeSuccessUniversity.com

HOUSTON-KATY, TEXAS - Since 2003 www.BackgroundNow.com limited its business to serving background checks to business customers.  Three months ago that changed when the site added a Google search engine customized to index only pages relevant to background checks.

BackgroundNow.com, which emphasized security, exclusivity and protection of proprietary knowledge began revealing sources, research and guides.  The information supports background checks for individuals, employment background checks and introduces background checks very few people are aware of, such as FINRA.

Now over 950,000 pages are indexed by the search tool and keyword search refinements are shown above search results to help users search with more precision and locate the source they need.  For example, a search at www.BackgroundNow.com for Fresno County Court followed by a click on “Criminal Records” will refine the search to locate references and links to the Fresno’s online public access to their civil and criminal background checks.  It’s easy to use and rich in useful content.

Vanessa Dennis, a journalist at Cheezhead.com, picked up on the story and published “background check company demystifies court system”, which brought more people to www.BackgroundNow.com.  http://www.cheezhead.com/2008/07/09/ved-backgroundnow-ce ….  And INC, the entrepreneur’s magazine, has featured www.BackgroundNow.com at its website Inc.com several times since the shift and introduced more individuals and businesses to the unique background check resource.

The effect has been dramatic.  Users have flocked to the site and use of the background check search engine is increasing.  As of today, Alexa reports 495% traffic growth over 3-months and a www.BackgroundNow.com U.S. site traffic rank of #178,228 and rising.  That means people are getting answers.  There can be fear, mystery, misunderstanding and apprehension around background checks.  The background check search engine helps by giving people and businesses access to better information.

The task of how to record a phone interview has always involved connecting extra equipment to a phone, and then hoping everything works correctly to get a good quality recording. This isn’t always the case, as anyone who’s done it knows all too well. A new service, however, is now available which not only simplifies the task of how to record a phone interview, but gives the user the ability to do so from any phone - cellular or landline, and store the recorded interviews on a computer as an MP3 - all without the need for extra equipment, according to online resource Record Cell Phones.com (http://www.recordcellphones.com) which features the service.

“The Call Recorder Card service is the best option for anyone who needs to know the best way how to record a phone interview,” said a spokesperson for the site. “The user simply dials through the Call Recorder Card service using any phone - cell or landline - and the calls are digitally recorded for later playback or storage on a computer. The service can also work for incoming calls, so it’s very convenient. Once an interview is recorded, it can then be accessed either through the dial-in voicemail system, or accessed via the web and downloaded as an MP3.”

The Call Recorder Card service is available in pre-paid increments of 250 and 500 minute cards.
