Looking for an old friend? Want to know if your spouse is cheating? Need to check out a potential tenant or employee?

A good private investigator (PI) can help you obtain these answers. And as with any expert you hire-a doctor Nike Shox TLX Clearance , a lawyer, an insurance broker-it benefits you to take the time to ensure you're hiring a professional who has experience, quality reputation, and good-business ethics. Below is a checklist that will help you find just such a private investigator:

1. Ask friends, business associates, your lawyer for a referral. Word of mouth gives you the inside scoop Nike Shox TL Mens Clearance , and the opportunity to ask questions specific to your needs.

2. Check your state's private investigator associations, most of which have web sites that post their membership directory.

3. If you can't find a private investigation association for your state, there are multiple national PI organizations that refer investigators, such as The National Association of Investigative Specialists ( ). Also, check your state's legal organizations-for example, affiliates of the American Trial Lawyer's Association or the state defense bar-which typically have a directory of recommended investigators.

4. Insurance companies use PIs constantly. Especially if your needs fall into surveillance and background checks Nike Shox TL Clearance , an excellent resource is your own homeowners insurance company. Ask to speak to a claims representative. With a few inquiries, you should be able to pinpoint which investigators your insurance company uses, which is a good referral.

5. Check Internet and Yellow Pages for private investigator listings, but remember these are paid-for ads. Ask for references; check if the PI is licensed (most states require a PI to be licensed, a few don't); if you're going before a judge and jury, ask if the PI has courtroom experience. NOTE: An untrained investigator may not know the laws and end up doing something illegal during an investigation-which causes you problems.

6. Before you speak to an investigator Nike Shox OZ D Womens Clearance , decide what's in your budget.

7. When you speak to an investigator, ask if heshe has done the type of work you're seeking. More important, ask them the outcome of that type of investigation.

8. Ask to see examples of reports they've produced for similar cases.

9. Gauge your comfort level while speaking to the investigator. Good communication will be critical after the investigation begins. Also, be open minded-your investigator may have new ideas that are worthy of exploration.

10. Expect to pay a retainer up front. Just because a PI doesn't ask for one (or even a reasonable hourly rate), doesn't mean heshe is better at what they do. You want to hire someone who's competent, not hard up for work.

The Philosophy of Making Comparisons Marketing Articles | November 15, 2010
In this article Nike Shox OZ 801 Womens Clearance , the author will share with the readers an interesting and successful case in marketing, which reflects some life wisdom as well.


A few days ago, I read a piece of interesting marketing story in a magazine, which reflects a common psychological phenomenon.


William.Inc failed to market its bread maker when the product firstly made its appearance. People showed disinterest in this new kind of machine and the sales volume was quite limited.


In order to change the awkward situation, the manager sought help from a company specializing in marketing and researching. After days of study, this marketing company put forward a suggestion for the selling of the bread maker. The asked William.Inc to produce another type of bread maker Nike Shox OZ 801 Mens Clearance , whose size was bigger and the price of which was higher than the existing one.


Then, the magical thing happened. Within one week, the sales volume of the smaller bread maker expanded rapidly, even the bread had found its market. Then, what is the secret lying behind this interesting phenomenon?


There are two choices for the customers to choose from when the bigger bread makers start to sell. The customers can then make comparison between the two machines. If the customers have to buy one bread maker, the smaller and the cheaper one would be the better choice. For the customers haven't much knowledge on the bread makers. The only standard they have in mind is the price. That is the very reason why the bread makers of William.Inc have been the hot sellers since then.


From the successful case of William.Inc Nike Shox OZ 801 Clearance , we can see that actually these marketing experts are well informed with some important aspects of anthroponomy. People seldom make decisions without making some comparisons. There doesn't exist something called the value calculator, which tells us the real value of a specific product. In fact, in most cases, we concentrate a lot on the relative advantages and disadvantages this specific item possesses comparing with other similar ones, in order to evaluate the true value of the specific item.
