Correct use of language, no matter the situation, is so important when it comes to how you communicate your thoughts and how you are perceived. Some days words flow easily but we all have those block days where we just can’t seem to express ourselves as effectively. When it comes to arming yourself to succeed

Word Chase!

Snapt Bib Clips

Snapt Bib Clips

Motivational authors need to understand their audience. They need to write to them and not at them. Testers who read this book quickly caught onto the fact that Greg Hatcher was speaking to them from a perspective that was not unlike their own. At times Mr. Hatcher does get tripped up in redundancies, perhaps the

Participants fill out questionnaires for each product or service they test. They score based on 13 levels of criteria including quality, appeal, design, price, packaging, directions, desirability, stimulation, replay factor, and more. Results are based on both statistical averaging and comments received by testers.

There are three testing periods each year:
