OLD CELL PHONES

Don't throw away you old cell phones! Businesses 
can sell them for cash or qualify for tax benefits if they donate them to charities. RMS Communications 
www.cellforcash.com Pays from $4 to $65 for used phones and resells them to cell phone vendors in the U.S. and Latin America. The wireless source www.thewirelesssource.com and the Wireless Foundation www.wirelessfoundation.org arrange phone donations to charities. (Source: the Kiplinger Letter, Washington DC

GET YOUR AUDIENCE TO PAY ATTENTION

When making a presentation, be sure to stick to three main points and put the most important points at the beginning and end of your presentation. Research shows that people can't recall more than three compelling messages at a time and they remember best the first and last things they hear.
