Sinopse

The separation of planning from doing and the preoccupation with administration, contracts, and scheduling over designing and building has been disastrous for construction. Lawyers, planners, risk managers, schedulers, and other administrative roles impede the ability of architects, engineers, and craftspeople—the professionals who design and build the things society needs to function. It isn’t just a matter of getting things done on time—if you’re the owner of an asset, manage a construction company, or invest in a project, overcoming these limitations is critical to your ability to compete and profit.Todd Zabelle, a recognized expert, construction CEO, and one of the founders of the lean construction movement, looks critically at each aspect of the industry, from production to construction to design to deployment to what the future holds, deftly analyzing where we’ve gone wrong and offering concrete, clear-eyed solutions for how to fix it.Zabelle’s incisive wit and pulls-no-punches honesty are a refreshing antidote to the bland, overly polite, vacuous dialogue of board meetings and academic conferences. Speaking from the heart—and informed by over thirty years of experience in all facets of the industry—Zabelle delivers a much-needed wakeup call at a time when it’s needed most.

    Learn the new state-of-the-art techniques for detecting deception used by law enforcement and intelligence agencies. Very importantly, you'll also learn how to apply the tools and techniques to detect lies over the phone and in text messages and emails. 
    In addition to defending yourself against deception, we'll also discuss the tools and techniques in this book from the opposite perspective - for those times you need to be an effective liar and guard against having your deception detected by others. 
    We'll also discuss: 
    - Simple signs someone could be lying to you: Body language, verbal indicators, speech patterns, word choice, hand gestures, facial expressions, physiological responses, and much more.  
    - The ways you can question people to trap them in a lie or make their lies blatantly stand out.  
    - The classic 9-step 'Reid Technique' used in most police interrogations so you know not only how to apply it when talking to others, but also how to guard against it and stay out of jail.  
    - The flaws in the polygraph lie detector and how people beat it. 
    - How groups of people trying to deceive you sabotage themselves, and the rest of the group, by unintentionally making common errors that make lies clearly stand out, even when they're standing right next to their friends. 
    People unknowingly reveal much more information than they planned to through their word choice, so we'll also cover the ways you can read between the lines of what was said to learn more than they planned to share. You'll be amazed at what you can learn, and you'll gain significant advantages.  
    You'll be able to start applying what you've learned immediately after you've finished reading this book by using the example procedures, responses, strategies, behaviors, and action steps. It works; and it will work for you. Read this book, apply the information, and see for yourself.

    Tired Of Paying For Clicks That NEVER Seem To Convert? DiscoverThe Six Easy Steps To CPA Marketing That Can Put Thousands Of Dollars Into Your Pocket Each Month!
    
    PPC advertising has been around for a while now and has established itself as the primary model for advertising on the web. Of course, PPC advertising is 'Pay Per Click' advertising, which basically means that you only pay as an advertiser when someone actually clicks on your ad. This is different from paying for a fixed spot in a magazine or on a website because you only pay when your ad generates views.
    
    For the advertiser, this is a very good deal because it essentially means that you only pay when you are successful. An advert that sits on a website not attracting any clicks will actually cost you nothing and you will thus be able to ensure that you get a very high ROI (return on investment).
    
    This is even more true if you use CPA advertising, which is in many ways the natural evolution of PPC. CPA essentially stands for 'Cost Per Action' or 'Cost Per Acquisition' and in this sense, you only pay when your advert is actually successful in doing what it is setting out to do. You only pay for an ad that converts – giving you guaranteed returns on that investment.
    
    Well, in reality you will sometimes still pay per click but even then CPA gives you a figure for how much each action is costing you – allowing you to calculate your precise profit margin. This is the metric that every advertiser should be most interested in. Essentially, this is the point in which the ad becomes profitable and if you only pay for that then you have a situation where everyone is guaranteed to win.
    
    CPA is a relatively new form of PPC but it is one that is rapidly catching on for obvious reasons. If you want to evolve your current marketing campaign in a way that can only improve your ROI and if you want to get one step ahead of the competition, then this is something you should be learning.
    
    And if that's your plan, then you've come to the right place! This book will serve as your master-class in CPA marketing and will show you how to get set up, how to stack the cards in your favor and how to scale up your operation for gigantic profits. So buckle up and let's take a dive into the complex world of CPA marketing...
