I generally go to sleep, yawn, get restless, surf TV channels and do all sorts of other stuff when golf is on. Quite frankly, golf absolutely bores me. If you are a gamer though, things are quite different.

The Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07 on Playstation 3 is a very exciting game to play. This particular series is going to be a blast. Right from the beginning you will be amazed at the performance of the game. It loads in a few seconds.

When the loading is done you are given many different options to choose from. The most noticeable option is that of Career Mode. In this mode you can create your own custom golfer.

Some of the other modes include: match play, alternate shot, battle golf, best ball, stroke play, skins, practice and many more. Each type of game has its own rules, but there is still something there for everyone.

One of the best matches to play is Battle Golf. It is basically match play with an entertaining twist. During this match you will play a normal golf game. But after every hole the winner gets a special treat.

That treat is the removal of an opponents golf club. That means any club in their set can be removed. Its a great feeling when your opponent has only a few clubs at his disposal while you still have all of yours.

Creating and developing your own unique golfer is one of the highlights of the game. You get to design them to look like whatever you want. You are free to design your golfer right down to the very last detail.

You can also choose the type of reactions they have on the course. If all you got to do was design a character and just look at that character, the game would quickly lose its appeal. Luckily, theres much more to do with your created character than just looking at him/her, and the best thing to do is to start a career.

Career mode allows you to take your character through many different tournaments and matches. You will face off with some of golfs well known names, such as Tiger Woods, John Daly, Justin Leonard, Mike Weir, Jim Furyk, and many more.

In order to compete with these pro golfers and become the best, you will have to create one heck of a great golfer. However, creating a superstar golfer is not that simple.

After all, Tiger Woods did not become a great golfer over night. But thats beside the point. The point is you will need plenty of training and practice to reach your peak as a golfer. You do that by taking your character through a few different mini games. They will develop your character's individual attributes.

These are your characters different attributes: ball striking, driving accuracy, putting, recovery, power, power boost, approach, and spin. After each mini-game some of those attributes may increase. However, that will depend on your overall performance during the game, as well as what the mini-game's main focus was on. Your starting character is going to suck. But with a few mini games under his belt the character will grow in talent and become a star golfer in no time.

Normally direct mail and bulk mail E-mail compete favorably with similar cost outlay. The purpose of this article is to evaluate which is the superior means of media. Is it sending out insurance direct mail? If not can it produce better final figures thru Emailing insurance producers. Using industry figures provides a clear winner.

HOW MUCH INSURANCE EMAILING GETS READ? Highly accurate tracking examines the wide percentage differences between industries. 40% of emails sent by non-profit organizations, manufacturing, government, religion and art get opened here. The readership slips 1/4th to 30% for education, health issues, retail enterprises, and photography. Now check this out. Here is where emails being read slips to a dismal rate of only 20% for e-commerce, publishing, media advertising, technology, and INSURANCE.

HOW INSURANCE MAIL GETS OPENED & READ For an oversized postcard, or a letter in an envelope, these two formats perform the best. If the list is not highly selective, and the message is average, the rate will be 14%. Using a professionally quality targeted insurance direct mail list jumps the figures. Also a better letter covering all the key areas factors into this. Now you have a readership percentage between 20% to 25%.

ADJUSTING THE FIGURES. Using insurance email lists are very risky. You never see the list of who is being mailed. It does you no good if an Allstate agent, or licensed home office person receives your email. Their curiosity got them to partially read your message. Therefore, the actual figure would be lowered to at least 15%. Now this figure also assumes all the people receiving the message are 100% insurance agents. Something we have Never seen in a list promoted on the internet, with a guarantee.

NICHE MARKET Annuity, health, and life products sold by agents currently are an overlooked internet niche market. Agents are only interested in selling additional products when it directly benefits them financially. However, only 20% of insurance marketers and recruiters have a personal website. Of these only half, have their site designed solely for the purpose of attracting new agents. This creates a frustrating situation for an agent seeking a product provided by a qualified marketer.

Therefore, the internet as a viable source can be eliminated. This leaves insurance direct mail and insurance agent emailing as the top contenders. Emailing projects reach 14 to 15% of your list being read by some kind of agent. Utilizing direct mail increases the readability to 20 to 25% when using a quality agent list.

COMPARE THE LEAD TO COST FACTOR With all expenses combined it averages costing $35.00 to produce a targeted insurance agent lead. In turn, applying similar comparisons to the emailed agents, shows a $45.00 each cost figure for an email insurance agent lead.

EXAMINE THE CONTRACTING RATIO With any style email agent leads, a good contract ratio of 1/3 means you have excellent recruiting skills. Using pre-qualified agent leads from your insurance direct mail show bump up the results. Comparatively it should be 50%. Doing the math on 24 leads, emailing costs $835.00 This same quantity of 24 leads equates to $840.00 on direct mail. Know that it is the agent contracts that ready count. You should receive 8 contracted producers with email. For direct mail that zooms to 12 agents.

Increasing your results by 33% or reducing your money outlay by 33% is great news to successful agent recruiters. When results increase by 1/3, so does your income. Don't you deserve a raise?
