About Zingers
Blogs, Zingers, Books
All of my written communications are intended to be read and discussed by more than one person. I write to share my knowledge, experience, beliefs, feelings, emotions, a point of view, a true story, with others. The sharing can be in the form of a Blog, a single subject periodical, article in a multi-subject periodical, or an entire book.
Zingers versus Blogs.
Zimmerman's Zingers are a stand-alone, monthly paid subscription publication, delivered via email. Each Zinger has only one subject. It always contains a true story that is often more complex than it appears to be on the surface. It directly communicates many lessons and usually provokes many additional thoughts as you go about your daily routine. Zingers discuss personal and business challenges that are timeless in their usefulness. If you own a business and or manage people you will find them very useful. The dates and names are all fictitious, but the events actually happened. I know; I was there for most of them.
Blogs are a writer's diary but with the additional objective of sharing thoughts and ideas with others. Sometimes they are nothing more than rants in which the writer lets off steam about things that are annoying, aggravating and generally out of her/his sphere of influence and ability to change.
My blogs are posted (published) at no charge to the reader and their frequency is dictated by the whim of the author. They appeal to a wide array of readers.
So now you know. Zingers deliver monthly insights you can use in daily life managing, running a business. Blogs are not so constrained. Here, as in life, you get what you pay for. You can subscribe to either by clicking on the appropriate button. Subscribing to the blogs will send them to your email address each time a new one is posted. Subscribing to Zingers will do the same thing with the addition of charging your credit card the small subscription fee each month when the latest Zinger appears on your email.
I hope you will subscribe to both because I want to be of service to you and want you to know me better.

The Price Is What? Zinger Teaser - A preview of this month's Zinger Newsletter. I just read an article that says Free is the most important of the five most important words to use in a web site, and by implication, in a direct mail piece. What if I told you I disagree? Would you want to know my reasons for disagreeing? Pricing your products or services is the toughest, hardest to get the right answer, decision you will make in business. This month's Zinger shows you how some people arrived at the "right " price and became successful.

A Great Audience My definition of a great audience is one in which everyone listens to the speaker - really listens. No one talks to the person in the seat next to them, squirms in their chair, looks at their watch, or checks their cell phones. I had the distinct pleasure of talking with such an audience on May 25th. My subject was the Perception Of A Difference. The occasion was the regular Friday morning staff meeting at a Wells Fargo Bank branch. I met the Branch Manager at a North Scottsdale Chamber of Commerce mixer. She is sincerely friendly and exudes enthusiasm and she rides a Harley. I told her about my book, and she decided to buy one. I delivered it to her at the branch and observed her team in operation while waiting for her to be available. As I signed her book we discussed the possibility of me presenting to her team. Two weeks later I dropped into give her a description of what I thought would best benefit her team. She was not in so I asked that my package be place on her desk. This led to another book sale and gave me another opportunity to observe the operation. I was impressed with the positive perception that formed in my mind on both visits. The staff clearly likes their work, their peers and their customers. The manager transmits the same message. She wanted them to know they were creating positive perceptions, how they were doing it, and why it is so important. They brought out the best in me and showed their appreciation for the effort. The manager told me later that they were still talking about it hours later. A very satisfying twenty-five minutes for all of us. They make a difference in their business, and with their customers. They also made a difference to me. Wes http://weszimmerman.blogspot.com/2007/06/great-audience.html
Know Who You AreOn Sunday, instead of going for a long ride on my motorcycle, Betsy III, that I had planned, I stayed home to support Amy, who was not feeling well. I rested and read the book No One Succeeds Alone. It is only 132 pages from cover to cover, and I enjoyed it very much. It is a memoir of the transformation the author, Lois Tiedemann, experienced while training for, and competing in, the Ironman Triathlon in Arizona in 2005. This is not a book about how to run the Triathlon: It is a story of what the author learned about herself, as she looked back at how she got to the finish line. In looking back she realized who she is, what guides her gut decisions and is content with herself. The subtitle of the book is Memoir of Transformation. When I finished reading, the first thought I had was my Dad's words to me at the age of 14 or 15: "You will not be a man until you know who you are and are happy with yourself." There is great wisdom in those words. Until we know who we are and have fully accepted that reality. we will not know contentment, and we cannot really succeed within society. I thought I knew who I was before I went into the Air Corps at age 19, but the experiences in the service made me very aware of it. Lois knew who she was before the Ironman Triathlon, completing it made her very aware of it. Few of us take the time to look back and see how it happened, and far fewer ever share this with anyone else. Lois has done a service for everyone that reads her book. It is an easy, interesting read, and I will recommend it to my children. It isn't in bookstores, so few of the many really worthwhile books seem to be these days, so go to the website www.transformationtrisystems.com to order it.
