Beginning your message with “Hi [name], it’s [your name]” is preferable to “Hi [name], my name is” due to the fact that the latter version is more commonly utilized by strangers and telemarketers. 2. When requesting that someone return your call, using the word “because” is an unconscious trigger that increases the likelihood that someone will comply with your request. 3. Using voicemail in conjunction with email helps increase awareness about the reason for your call. 4. Consider contacting people at the beginning or end of the work day, so as not to have your message lost in the shuffle. Housekeeping Note As of February 23, 2012, New Island Cleaning, which is owned by John Mendes, will begin servicing the Suites. Some of you may already be familiar with the high quality carpet and upholstery cleaning that John has provided us in the past. We hope that our clients will notice an improvement in the cleanliness of the common spaces as well as the offices. Weekly cleanings will still occur on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. NES Management has made it clear that only trash bins and other items marked trash are to be tossed out. We appreciate your feedback and cooperation during the transition, but we expect to establish a long-lasting relationship with New Island. 5. Eliminating the word “just” can significantly increase the chances of a callback. The word “just” connotes that your matter is of lesser importance and can be ignored. 6. Research indicates that for every 30 seconds your message lasts, your response rate drops by 2%. Messages between 15 and 25 seconds in length tend to yield a callback. Keep it short and pithy. HIGHLY ANTICIPATED iPAD3 TO BE RELEASED On Wednesday, March 7th, Apple will once again host an unveiling event for its new product line. The secretive nature of Apple’s reveals not only creates industry-level marketing buzz, but simultaneously bolsters fan’s excitement. Here are some of the more interesting tidbits of speculation stemming from the chatter: NEW FEATURES Tech insiders are expecting the new iPad to have unbelievably sharper graphics, a truly powerful processor, and the 3G model to be compatible with the speedy 4G LTE cellular infrastructure. PRICE POINT TO REMAIN UNCHANGED The $499 entry-level price point has served Apple’s sales well through the releases of the first two generations of iPads, so it is highly doubtful that they will veer off this well-trodden path. This is particularly true in light of the fact that there is increased competition in the tablet market from vendors such as Kindle fire & Ebooks. However, used iPad2’s prices have already plummeted in anticipation of the iPad3 launch. WHAT’S IN A NAME? One thing Apple will never strive to be is predictable. Hence, it is highly unlikely that the iPad3 will actually be called the iPad3. When naming the iPhone4 and iPhone4S, Apple found it very difficult to explain to consumers that the phone, despite its name, was not 4G platform compatible. Possible names that are being discussed include: iPad2S, iPad HD, and iPadAX5/AX6 (for the AX5 or AX6 chip).
