Recently, I heard someone speak about the history
of a certain organization, founded by Dr. Ralph
C. Smedley, who held the first organization's
meeting in Santa Ana, California, in October
1924.

According to the speaker, every time Dr. Smedley
set up a new center it would soon disband after
he left town.

Interestingly, this organization's centers didn't
really stabilize until more than 20 years after
the first meeting!


==================================================
Finally, Basic Training after 20 years!
==================================================

That's when this organization created their first
manual (documentation), called Basic Training.

This organization is now more than 80 years old
and has benefited more than three million men and
women via their organization's (documented)
communication and leadership programs.

Today, this international organization is the
undisputed world leader in public speaking
training, with over 10,500 clubs and more than
200,000 members in about 90 countries.

In the future, more people than ever will benefit
from their (documented) programs in leadership
and education.


==================================================
Question: What is the organization?
==================================================

Answer: Toastmasters International.

Did you notice that that I emphasized
"documentation?" Why?

Because documentation is the bedrock of
successful organizations.

How else could you transmit consistent, quality
programs to over 3,000,000 people around the
world? Tribal knowledge? Rumors? Yelling and
screaming? No way! Notes on cocktail napkins
would be better!


==================================================
Do you have Operations Manuals?
==================================================

To find out how to develop your Operations Manuals
in a standard format, see article entitled "Lack of
Operations Manuals stunting your company's
growth?" at:

==================================================
Today's managers suffer increasing pressure...
==================================================

Most managers these days suffer increasing
Pressure to slash costs and get more done with
fewer people. I work with managers and executives
to relieve this pressure of having to boost
production and pr0fits with fewer people. I like
to say, "We take the pressure off!"

Over two decades, SMS has saved time, m0ney, and
effort for scores of companies in Silicon Valley
(and from Toronto to Hong Kong)! This means you
benefit from techniques proven successful on
over 300 projects.

I can help.

You decide. Don't let the lack of Operations
Manuals stunt the growth of your business!
