How to Start a Cell Phone Store
Understanding the Business Model of the Cell Phone Industry
I personally like to talk about the business model right at the beginning of the page so you know how, and how much money you will make in the cell phone business. By doing so, you should understand what you're getting yourself into, and what to expect in this business. After reading the business model section, you can also decide for yourself if entering the cellular phone industry is the right decision for you or not. So here it is!
The cellular phone business works in a few ways. You make money by making the following sales to your customers:
New 1 or 2 Year Contract Activation (Post Paid Activation)
Feature Add (Add-On) or Contract Extension (Upgrade)
Prepaid Activation & Prepaid Card Sales
Accessory & Hardware Sales
Here is a list that summarizes how much money you can expect to make per activation as a cellular phone dealer for each sale that you make.
Post Paid Phone Activation (1 Year) - Single Line $75-150 per line
Post Paid Phone Activation (1 Year) - Family Plan $150-$300 per family
Post Paid Phone Activation (2 Year) - Single Line $75-250 per line
Post Paid Phone Activation (2 Year) - Family Plan $150-450 per family
Post Paid Upgrades (2 Year) $30-$100 per line
Feature Add $2-$100 per Feature Added
Prepaid PhoneHardware Sales $10-20 per phone
Prepaid Card Commission 7%-20% of Sale Amount ($20 Card is most popular)
Accessory Sales $5-$50 per Accessory Sold
As a word of advice, each dealers set their margins they way they like it. Many of the cell phone carrier owned direct stores have their prices set to hit the high end of the figures above. In contrast, some of the very price oriented independent dealers set their prices with the margin on the lower end of the figures above. You will need to decide where you want to set your margins, and how service vs. price will help you set up your pricing at your business.
There's Money to Be Made in Cell Phones!
The Commissions
New Post Paid Activations (Contract Activations)
Post paid activations are the same thing as contract activations. It is what many of us are used to when we think about activating and getting a cell phone. It will require you to sign a 1 year or a 2 year contract upfront. You are locked in to a given carrier during this time, and if you cancel before your contract is up, you will be hit with an early termination charge that ranges from $175-$250 per line.
In this type of activation, you can expect anywhere from $75-$250 per activation. This pertains only to "new" activations or "port" activations. A port activation is an activation where you switch carrier the customer's carrier from one to another. By switching carriers, it is considered a new activation. New activations are the core of your business, and this is where you will make your money. New activations are what you will need to strive for in this business.
The carrier owned stores that you see out in your neighborhood typically target about $200-$250 in profit per activation they sell. Many of the authorized dealers like ourselves usually are much more price competitive, and we typically target anywhere between $75 -$150 in profit per activation.
Normally, a small dealer will do about 15-50 activations per month, while the busy stores can easily get 50 or more activations each month. The level of profit does depend on four factors that will be discussed in further detail a bit later. But for your reference, the four factors that change the commission amount are:
- Price plan you contract the customer at
- Price of phone that you sell to your customer
- Contract period (1 or 2 Years)
- Any features added to the contract
In addition, each carrier will set a different commission amount for a new activation. This will be a critical factor in determining your profit as well. And in many cases, the commission amounts are tiered, meaning that a certain number of activation, for example 15 activations or more will yield you a higher commission amount.
It is also worth noting again that the commission amounts listed above is only for new contract activation or port activation. If you merely extend a customer's contract, your commission will be much less, as talked about in the next section. Lastly, in this business you will need volume to succeed. So be ready make many sales, at least 15-50 new activation sales, each month to succeed as a wireless dealer.
Below is an example of a commission matrix that the Master Dealer will provide you with. These are the actual figures at the time of writing in the year 2008, and you can expect to make this much doing business with a given carrier. Please understand that all carriers do not provide commissions at the same levels, so be sure to shop around and compare commission structures between carriers.
As you can see above there is a pretty large commission difference between 1 year and 2 year contract plans. In addition, Family Plans have great commissions, but keep in mind that only the first two lines get the commission. Any lines added from that point on, you get paid on the "Added Lines" portion. This master dealer does require a minimum number of activation and it ranges from 15-20 activations per month. Without that number, you will not get paid the Spiff portion. It is easy to see that dealers scramble to hit at least the minimum required at the end of the month to obtain the Spiff.
Upgrades (Contract Extensions)
Upgrades or contract extensions are another way of making some money in the cellular phone business. Upgrade happens when a customer has a given carrier, and they want to extend their contracts for another 2 years in exchange for a new phone on the same carrier.
Upgrades are usually 2 year contract extensions with the same carrier, and a customer often times becomes eligible for an upgrade 2 months prior to the contract end date. Please take caution that carriers will not pay you a commission for a one year upgrade to their dealers. And for that reason, you are unable to offer one year contract extension deals to your customers.
The profit margin on an upgrade is usually much less than a new activation. You can expect to make somewhere between $30-$100 per upgrade activation.
Upgrades are usually a pretty difficult sale for us authorized dealers, and we are always better off offering our customers to port their numbers to another carrier instead. Should the customer insist on an upgrade, you must understand and acknowledge that the commission amount will not be as high as a contract activation. You will then need to choose between making a low profit margin or to increase your profit by up selling to your customer. Many authorized dealers upgrade their customers by adding in internet, text message, or BlackBerry features to compensate for the lower profit margin.
Upgrades will not be a big money maker in your business, but you must provide your customers with great deals and great service doing upgrades to earn your word-of-mouth referrals.
Post Paid and Upgrade Business Process
The business process involved in selling a post paid phone and upgrades are a bit unique to this industry, so we would like to cover its details here. The transaction involves numerous parties and you must understand this for cash flow reasons as well as to do business as a wireless dealer effectively.
Basically, there are 3 processes involved in the cellular phone business to activate a phone.
Step 1: You must first purchase your inventory from your master dealer or an unlocked phone supplier. Inventory will usually run anywhere from $75 for a low end phone to over $500 for a high end Smart Phone. In some cases, you may need to buy SIM cards if you offer GSM phones, but usually, that will be included with the phones you purchase from your master dealer. For the unlocked phones, you will need to purchase SIM card only from your master dealer for about $15 a card.
Step 2: You will then sell to a customer for a new activation or an upgrade. The price of the phone will be subsidized by you because you will receive commission on that activation from your carrier. For example, say you bought a phone for $130 wholesale. For a one year activation on a $39.99 plan, you will get $245 in commission. That means you can subsidize the phone to make the sale. If you sold it for free, this will be your end calculation.
Example 1
- Sale Price to the Customer $0 (FREE)
- Commission by Carrier $245.00
- less Inventory Cost $130.00
- Profit Margin $115.00 per line
Example 2
If you sold it for $30 because there is a $30 rebate for the customer, this will be your profit margin:
- Sale Price to the Customer $30.00
- Commission by Carrier $245.00
- less Inventory Cost $130.00
- Profit Margin $145.00 per line
In the second example, the total price for the customer will be "Free after rebate." Just in case, this is why:
- Amount Paid by Customer $30.00
- Rebate Received $30.00
- Final Price $0.00 FREE AFTER REBATE!
Step 3: Collect your commission from your carrier or your master dealer (master dealers will be explained very soon). Usually, the carrier or the master dealer will ask you to submit a batch sheet that includes information on all of the activations you did for the month. Depending on the master dealer, they may pay you promptly in 2 weeks, or they may be very slow, paying you 60 days later.
Feature Add (Add-Ons)
Feature adds occur when you assist a customer add on a feature package like a text message package, BlackBerry package, or an Internet package onto their existing phone plans. It can also be used as an up sell mechanism during your new or upgrade activations as well. All carriers will give you commission for assisting your customers to add a feature package onto their existing plans. Commissions for add-ons usually range between $5-100 depending on the feature you add for your customers.
It is worth noting that each carrier does have priorities when they decide on how much commission to pay you for a feature you add for your customer. For example, one carrier may pay you $10 to add a $5 text message package, while another carrier may give you $30. Sometimes a carrier may come up with a new promotional feature plan that they want to really sell to the public, and may give you a big commission to accomplish their objectives. We've seen situations where a carrier would pay $100 commission on a $10 feature.
Adding features, if you do it right, can very well supplement your profit margins. You can look for somewhere between $5-$100 in additional commissions just by helping the customers figure out what deals are best for them.
Here is an example of what would happen to your profits when you effectively sell features to your customers:
Example 3
- Sale Price to the Customer $30.00
- Commission by Carrier $245.00
- less Inventory Cost $130.00
- Profit Margin before Feature Add $145.00
- Feature Add: Text Message $10.00
- Feature Add: Internet Package $100.00
- Total Profit Margin $255.00 per Line
One last point to make with regards to feature adds is that a carrier will not pay a commission for any insurance packages added to the customer in case of lost or stolen phones. Many customers feel the insurance packages as an up sell, but it is actually out of courtesy for the dealers to offer it to you.
Prepaid Activations and Recharge
For many reasons, prepaid phones are becoming very popular in the cellular phone business. Prepaid phones are popular to these markets:
- A person that does not want to commit to a contract
- A person that does not have good credit
- A person who just immigrated to this country
- A person that use their phone for emergency or very minimal purposes
Prepaid phone sales are not exactly a huge money maker in this business, but you will need to offer it to your customers.
Prepaid phone sales involve two dimensions:
- prepaid phone hardware sales, and
- prepaid card or airtime sales.
The business model of the prepaid phone hardware sales is that you make money on the amount you mark up you pass on to the customer from the wholesale price. Hence, if you bought your prepaid phone at $25 wholesale, and mark it up $15 to sell it for $40 to the customer, the mark up portion of $15 will be your profit.
When selling prepaid phones, you'll likely notice that the price of the hardware is significantly cheaper compared to its post paid counterpart. You can expect to pay $20-100 for a prepaid phone device wholesale, whereas the postpaid phone devices will cost about $100-500 per device. This is due to the fact that the prepaid phone devices are subsidized by prepaid phone carriers so you and the customer can buy the phones at a discount compared to regular postpaid phones. This fact makes it very easy to maintain your inventory levels without significantly considering its cash flow issues.
The business model of the prepaid air card sale works on a commission scale. The commission can range from 5% to 20% of the price of the card you sell. The commission percentage will depend on the prepaid carrier. This means if a prepaid carrier pays 12% commission and you sell a $20 card, you make $2.40 per card you sell. An average commission on a prepaid card is usually 7-12%. One you develop a steady client base, it's very easy to see recharge card sales of $10,000 each month at your store.
The prepaid air card business is similar to having a residual commission each month. And again this business is about volume and increasing your customer base. In addition, it is also critical for the customer to purchase the prepaid recharge card from you as well. For some popular prepaid carriers, they do have the ability to purchase it online or at a local supermarket. If they purchase the additional recharge cards from a different source, you do lose out on your commission. Make sure you make a system to give your customers an incentive to purchase the card from you. You can use price discounts, online systems, or phone systems that will allow your customers to purchase from you instead.
Accessory Sales
Selling wireless accessories, such as cases, chargers, and hands free headsets are another way to make money for your cellular phone business. The mark ups for accessories are usually very high and it is normal to see something selling for $12.00 when the wholesale price was only about $0.50. Due to its low wholesale price of accessories, many dealers also package up accessories with a phone sale to make the deal more enticing for their customers. For example, "Free Blue Tooth Headset & Car Charger with each New Activation!" is a pitch you see very frequently. The cost involved in you offering this kind of sale compared to the value perceived by the customer is very well worth your efforts.
If you are a busy store, and good at merchandising products, accessory sales can easily bring in a good portion of profits for your business. Depending on the product, you can expect to earn $10-50 per accessory sold. And many people these days need a case, car charger, and a Bluetooth headset. So make your best effort in making accessory sales a big part of your cellular phone business.
Final Words on the Business Model
The cell phone business is a volume based business. And simply put, the people who make the most money are the ones who make the most sales. And these sales must be new activations or a port to make any kind of real money. This business relies a lot on heavy marketing and sales in order to succeed. We have seen that the best stores are the ones that advertise aggressively, has a niche market that they work with, and are very good at retail sales.
As with any business, having a niche market will help you tremendously to succeed in this business. We have seen many people succeed in this business, and they come from all walks of life. We've seen a lot of specific ethnic group dealers, such as Latino and Asian dealers succeed very well due to the continuous flow of new immigrants coming into the United States. We've also seen dealers that specialize in small businesses succeed very well. And we are sure that other markets such as the children market, senior market, the Smart Phone market, and other untapped markets are huge potentials in this business as well. We are always amazed to see dealers driving off on their new BMW from the warehouse to pick up their phones.
We also wish you the best with this business!
The Master Dealer
In this section, we will go over the details about the Master Dealer. The Master Dealer will be your entry point into stating out a business in the cellular phone industry. Be sure to understand their role and how you will be working with them in the near future.
In the past, dealers were able to enter into the cellular phone business by working directly with a cellular phone carrier. But today, the most common and easiest way of entering the cellular phone business is through a Master Dealer. Master Dealers are used by the major carriers because the big carriers do not want to allocate a lot of their resources into serving smaller dealers like ourselves. Since each of the carriers also have a direct retail channel (carrier owned stores) to take care of, they figure using a Master Dealer to satisfy the local demands are much more efficient then dealing with it themselves.
So with this in mind, we recommend you start things off with a Master Dealer to get your operations running fast and efficiently. Master dealers will be very fair with you, and usually many Master Dealers will allow you to start off with just one phone or very minimal inventory. Master Dealers are often locally operated if you live in a major metropolitan area, so that you can go to pick up your inventory with a 10-20 minute drive to their warehouse.
What does a Master Dealer do?
Simply put, Master dealers can get you partnered up with a cellular phone carrier. Master dealers will be your partner, commission processor, customer service expert, and a good friend. They will provide you with the collaterals (posters, brochures, paper contracts). They are the supplier of your cell phone inventory. They will provide you with the activation system. They will pay your commissions. And they will give you basic training and support to get your business up and running.
Basically, they will be your bridge to the big cell phone carriers. And they are there to help you succeed. Master dealers get paid on each of the activations that you produce for them. So they will treat you well, and help you out as much as possible to create the sales for you and for them.
Master Dealers come in all size and shapes. Some can operate very locally, while others can operate across the United States. Some have only one cell phone carriers that they represent. Others may represent multiple carriers. Some are very small. Others have multiple warehouses and offices. Some pay well. Others do not pay as much. And some are easy to work with, while others can be difficult. It all depends.
Finding the Right Master Dealer
Master Dealer research and actually finding the right Master Dealer for you is probably one of the most important tasks when you are starting out. Choosing the right Master Dealer can make a huge difference on how you operate, and how efficiently you do business.
However, finding a Master Dealer is usually not an easy task. The list of Master Dealers around the country is highly confidential and not available readily. And for this reason, actually finding the right Master Dealer for you can be a pretty difficult job. In many cases, you may just have to use the first Master Dealer that you encounter due to the lack of alternatives.
Since the wholesale list is highly confidential, please contact me for the list so that I maybe able to help out.
Once you obtain the contact information, start contacting them by email and phone. Many Master Dealers have a web form that you fill out on their websites. Set up an appointment to meet and talk to them. Since you will be dealing with them on many issues of your business, we suggest you talk, negotiate, and compare a few Master Dealers in order to find the right one for you.
During the initial contact stages of the Master Dealer, patience is a nice thing to have. Some Master Dealers may take time to respond to you. It is recommended that if you don't hear from them quickly enough, you contact them a few times to get a response from them. Some Master Dealers may not be interested in doing business with you since you are new to the business. You will need to have a solid business plan to overcome any objections that the Master Dealer may have, and persuade them that you are serious about this business.
Finding a Master Dealer and persuading them to work with you can be a challenging task when you are starting out. You'll need to overcome this challenge by preparing for the meeting by having a solid business plan. By persuading that you can make money for them, they would want to do business with you. Do your due diligence to find as much information about them as possible to make the meeting effective.
When you work with a Master Dealer, it is just like a marriage. You'll be dealing with them frequently on a variety of issues that will come up. It can also be tough to move from one Master Dealer to another, so be sure you take your time to find the "right one" from the start.
The next section will have points of consideration for you prior to contracting with a Master Dealer. However, before going into the next section, let's briefly touch on the role of an account manager.
The Account Manager
When working with a master dealer, you will usually have an account manager who will handle most of your needs. The account manager is a designated person intended to serve you and your needs. You can get their help in almost anything from training, receiving marketing materials, resolving customer service related issues, and answering any technical questions you may have. The account managers will become your semi-partner, so be sure you treat them well, since they will be the contact person for any problems you have.
When you meet your account manager, see if you are on the same wavelength with them. You want to be comfortable with your account manager because you will be working with them a lot. Your account manager is the contact person for most of your issues. You want somebody that you get along with.
Before Contracting with a Master Dealer
Now that you know what an account manager is, let's go over the preparation you should go before contracting with a Master Dealer.
Finding a Master Dealer that's right for you depends on a few points. For us, location did play a key role. We wanted a Master Dealer that was locally operating so that we can go get our inventory whenever we wanted. Luckily we were able to find Master Dealers that were only about 10-20 minutes away from our office. This played a key role in keeping lower levels of inventory at our stores.
Another concern when selecting your Master Dealer will be customer service. You'll need to look for signs that will indicate the level of your Master Dealer's customer service. Look to see if they are well staffed to help you when there is an issue with you or your customers. Also, look to see if they have a good website so that you can self service your needs on a variety of minor issues. Assess their level of customer service for you and your customers.
Obviously, commission is one key aspect that you must look into when selecting your Master Dealer. Since most of the commission is decided by the actual carrier, commissions between established Master Dealers are usually very comparable. The two points that decide the profits for you are the actual commission payout and the handset prices set by the Master Dealer.
Established Master Dealers are very competitive towards each other. In some cases though, there are Master Dealers that offer significantly lower commissions or that their handsets are significantly more expensive. These tend to be Master Dealers that are smaller in size and are not established. Or it can be Master Dealers that are not doing very well. The Master Dealer business is a volume based business, so if they are not doing the volume necessary to make money on their own, they will usually pass on the costs to you. So be sure to check out and compare a few Master Dealers, and the average commission of the carrier of your choice.
Now the last thing that will help you to narrow down your Master Dealer selection is the carrier you would want to offer to your customers. Master Dealer usually represents only one or two carriers, so even if you like the Master Dealer, you may not be able to work with them if they do not offer a carrier that you want to sell.
Points to Consider
Here are some areas of consideration and questions you should ask a Master Dealer before you sign a contract with them.
Commission Payout
- How much commission does the Master Dealer pay?
- Are there tiers (Example: 15+ activations) involved to get paid a certain amount?
- What kinds of Spiff (Extra commission) are they offering?
- Are they competitive compared to other master dealers?
- What are some of the processes you need to go through to collect your commission from the Master Dealer?
- How fast do they pay their commission?
- Is the wholesale price of the phones subsidized?
- How competitive are the wholesale price of the phones?
- Do they allow the activations of unlocked or import phones?
Payout Schedule
- How often do they pay?
- Some Master Dealers will process your commission every two weeks while others will make you wait 60 days.
- How prompt are they to pay?
- Do they have a good system to pay all of my commission in time?
Warehouse Related
- Is the warehouse close to my store?

- What kinds of phones do they stock at the warehouse?
- Do they stock unlocked phones?
- Do they allow for "Will Call" pickups?
- How fast do they ship the phones?

- Would it delay the time it takes me to get a phone order from them?
- Would it delay the time it takes for me to get paid my commission?
- Would it delay the time it takes for me to resolve a dispute?
Account Manager and Master Dealer Connection

- How cool is my account manager?
- Can I get along with him or her?
- What tools can the Account Manager give me to expand my business?
- How active is my account manager?
- Does he respond to my emails or calls quickly?
- Does he look too busy to respond to me?
How to Get Approved by the Carrier and the Master Dealer
As much as you will screen which Master Dealer you want to do business with, Master Dealers will also judge you in your ability to provide them with a solid number of activations each month. Master dealers and carriers look for the following characteristics when getting stated with them.
Experience is weighed relatively high when a Master Dealer considers you to work with them. The experience will be good if you have any prior experience in selling cellular phones, or if you've been in sales and marketing in the past. As mentioned, this business has a very heavy marketing and sales aspect to it, so without that experience, you may not be able to offer the solid figures that the Master Dealers and the carriers expect. They will usually want to see at least 15-30 new activations each month. This doesn't have to happen in your first month, but within 3-6 months.
Location is also a very critical factor in deciding to grant you the privilege to represent a given carrier or not. For one thing, you may not have a retail store that you can operate out of. This may hinder your ability to get approved by a Master Dealer. However, as long as you have a solid business plan, you can get approved with a Master Dealer without having an office location as long as you can do some negotiating, and persuade your Master Dealer.
Locations that already have a high number of indirect dealers or carrier owned stores nearby may also hinder the likelihood of getting approved by the Master Dealer. It is not the Master Dealer's best intention to make the sub-dealers compete against each other because that will hinder everybody's profits.
Business Plan
The business plan usually needs to be submitted to the Master Dealers and the carriers to get approved as well. The business plan needs to specify out what your targets are, and how you expect to obtain consistent activations on a monthly basis. Again they look for 15-30 minimum, and prefer plans that grow to attain 50-100 activations per month. Refer to the business plan section of this guide, and answer the questions that is laid out for yourself.
Market Served
Indirect dealers are sometimes referred to as Value-Added Resellers where you are able to exploit markets that are currently being underserved by a given carrier. These market maybe anything from specific nationalities, small businesses, or a specialized market. It is basically your niche, and the carriers tend to approve stores that can exploit a market that they are unable to reach.
Something to Watch Out For: Carrier Power
The last thing we want to touch on is about the power of the big cell phone carriers have on us.
The big carriers, when working with an indirect dealer like ourselves, constantly have conflicts of interests. The carriers own many direct retail stores to sell their services directly to customers. So on a store-level, your store can actually become a direct competition to the carrier owned retail stores even if you offer the same carrier's service.
This story becomes even more complicated since indirect dealers have the ability to offer lower prices than the carrier owned stores because it is independently owned. It may be located in a location that is lower in rent with fewer employees. In addition, since the indirect dealers frequently promote churn or porting over to other carriers due to the profit incentive, it can be very problematic for the carriers to work well with its indirect dealers.
With this conflict of interest in place, carriers can use its "big business" power to leverage the relationship with its indirect dealers. Recent developments in the industry are for carriers to ask for indirect dealers to sign an exclusive contract, offering only their brand at your store. This does eliminate the churn issue that they have with indirect dealers, but it does become disadvantageous for us because we are unable to offer selection to our customers. It will become your judgment call to see if you want to operate your business with only one carrier or not.
Another issue that you will see when working with carriers is its ability to control your commission. Usually, if you are operating your store without an exclusive contract, the carriers can decide to cut you off very quickly. They have the ability to reduce commissions by 50% or more at a very rapid pace, usually within 1-2 months. When you see your commission drop by that much, you lose your ability to make any money or you must increase your prices dramatically to your customers in a very short period of time. These actions by the carriers will usually prompt you to drop them and promote another carrier instead of offering what you were used to. We have seen businesses that go out of business when the big carriers take this action.
Our word of advice we have is to always to stay cautious when working with big carriers. If you do not go the exclusive route, you should always have a backup plan if the carriers do decide to cut you off. We recommend always having at least two major carriers you can offer to your customers at any given time.

You can make a lot more money if you have a mobile app for your payment center. Not only that, but you will also keep almost 90% of customers. This is because even if the customer leaves the sate, he/she can still pay their phone bill through their phone using your app!. Another situation that this remedies is if your customers get out of work late.
When a customer pays their bill through your phone app, you are sent their telephone number, the plan that they chose, and the money is deposited directly into your paypal account.

Hi Sir:
This is Jamey from 3JTech. We are an engineering firm that sells 3G solutions and OEM to major security and telecoms. More information about our products and what we do can be found at www.3jtech.com or www.pnpipcameras.com. Right now we have a customer that uses our solution and is looking for an Android phone that can pre-install our program to it and bundle with our products. For this particular model the monthly unit sale is about 5k. There are other products that sell about 1k each. So the total units that sell using 3G/GSM solutions are about 8~10k. We are looking for partners that can provide us with various Andriod phones. We might want to stick to one model in the beginning and later on offer more variety. However, keep in mind that not all customers would purchase the phone if they already have a compatible phone. My forecast would be that maybe 5~10% would purchase our solutions with a new phone. So the conservative forecast would be 250+ phones a month at first for this particular customer. We ourselves might also want to offer phones with our program pre-installed for other customers in the future. The specs for the phone should have at least 3G/HSUPA, Andriod OS and a SIM slot.
On another note, I was wondering if you know how to become an Authorized dealer for the operators for selling the data plans. Our solutions all use data plans from the operators such as AT&T and Verizon. We currently ask our customers to sign up for data plans on their own. If we can resell the service the monthly data plans we can sell would be in the thousands. Can you email me more information to email@example.com
Best Regards,
Jamey Whan

A severe case of bad software coding at the world's largest supply management body knocked down national manufacturing figures, the Dow Jones Industrial Average as well as the Standard & Poor's 500, on Monday - leaving red faces at the closely watched 99-year-old organization.
In what is a perfect example of how a simple coding error can have a large effect on several key market barometers, the erroneous code, at the Institute for Supply Management (ISM), contributed to a 35 point drop in the Dow Jones, a key US stock market index. Meanwhile, on the S&P 500, another index based on 500 large companies, the index fell 0.4 per cent.
A day on, still no detailed technical explanation has been provided by the ISM.
The problems occurred because ISM systems apparently incorrectly calculated data for the monthly manufacturing purchasing managers' index - using a seasonal adjustment from the previous month - and had a knock-on effect as the wider markets looked at a 'slowdown' in the growth of US production. No explanation has been given as to why the calculation took this wrong turn.
Grappling with the erroneous data, the ISM initially published its incorrect report at 10 AM Eastern Time on Monday, revised it at 11:30, and made a final correction at 12:30 PM. By the end of trading, stocks actually ended higher than the dip, following several hours of much market discontent.
The ISM confirmed that the error was a problem with its internal "software programming", and insisted its researchers were working to improve internal processes so that the problem does not recur.
[Now Read: Financial Markets' Terrible Software Code Is A Plague To Investors ]
But at the time of writing, the organization had not provided real detail on exactly which system was affected or why the problem occurred on this occasion. What is understood is that the software, for an unexplained reason, incorrectly used the seasonal adjustment factor from the previous month.
In a statement, Bradley J Holcomb, chair of the ISM, said: "We apologize for this error. We have recalculated and confirm that the actual index indicates the economy is accelerating."
A number of people are not convinced by the ISM's explanation. In a report, the Wall Street Journal describes the "exasperation" of traders at the double correction, and quotes economists describing it as "amateur hour at the ISM" while a brokerage questions "are we in high school?".
In the comments section of a Bloomberg report, 'Filomeno' expresses disbelief that the software could have suddenly used the seasonal adjustment factor from the previous month, adding: "A software [system] takes autonomous decisions?" Meanwhile, Mauricio writes with more suspicion: "Somebody got a phone call to change the numbers!"
In spite of the scale of the problem that resulted, it is far from uncommon for a simple, single error in software code to cause major issues for an organization, particularly when large volumes of key data are concerned.
In but one example, in 2011, when the London Stock Exchange moved to new code for its key trade matching engine, a particular element of the coding and new procedures didn't line up with market data providers' systems, leading to companies reporting a variety of share prices on any single stock.
Indeed, organizations often experience a change in one piece of software code having an unexpected knock on effect on another. Nevertheless, the success of software coding comes down to quality checking, and predicting problems before they happen, whenever possible.
What do you think of the ISM coding error? Please do share your thoughts below.

Phase of the second order nonlinear susceptibility at the interface of indium tin oxide/organic semiconductor

We have studied the phase of the second order nonlinear susceptibility at the interface of organic semiconductor with the indium tin oxide (ITO) through the nonlinear optical interferometry technique. In order to produce second harmonic generation (SHG) interference pattern, we used an α-SiO2 (0001) crystal as the nonlinear optical reference SHG source. The variation of the phase delay between two SHG sources produces an interference pattern in air from which phase of the second order nonlinear optical susceptibility can measured. The phase shift was computed at the interface of ITO/organic semiconductor with respect to the phase of the bare ITO.

Why Cry?
For me, it began when my own mind was changed and with it the opening up of my ability to be emotive. My Mind Change is quite literal. New pathways, new mental capacities, new thought horizons. Not just thinking different thoughts, but thinking in different ways. Unleashed potentials, to do and say and affect things in ways I could never have dreamed possible before. The story of "How I Changed my Mind" is still one with a mystery at its heart, because there are hidden players, external to this text, forces at work I have not spoken about…
This is that story
It begins in dark times. It wasn't that I was suicidal, but I didn't care if I was to live or die. Nothing to live on for. I emphasize that this is something more than simply a case of "depression" for People with Parkinson's (PwP). We become affected by the constant negativity about the disease from the uneducated people around us, which can sometimes include, sad to say, from our carers, the medical profession and the media. Oh, how we are told that it's all downhill from here until the grave. How we are all portrayed as sufferers or the disabled, as if the disease defines us collectively. Indeed this negative environment became for me the self-fulfilling prophecy. I was sinking... drowning… but that is yet another story too...
Into the Light.
My light at the end of the tunnel came when Parkinson's UK started a scheme, paying for PwP to have a series of counselling [psychotherapy] sessions. My Parkinson's Nurse and family encouraged me to take this opportunity. I was ready to try anything. Counselling or "therapy" is not something I have any experience of before or since, so I have little context, but I do feel I was extremely lucky to find a counsellor who I simply clicked with at the outset. Let's call this lady Elle. It is with some melancholy that Elle and I will probably never meet again, as our sessions have come to a natural conclusion... and practitioner-patient formalities prohibit friendship... well, we said our farewells last week. Yet Elle is someone I will never forget and will have my true gratitude unto the end of my days. Because she gave me a gift, the most profound gift anyone can ever be given.
She gave myself back to me.
She unlocked my door.
She gave me the mind tools to open it wide and step through.
Out of Darkness. Into the Bright Light of Day.
There is always hope
I went into that first session having no idea what to expect. But I was prepared to put myself into Elle's hands and trust in the process 100%. I was All In.
Oh, don't get me wrong, it was not easy. In fact, it was very hard work. But Elle and I clicked quickly into a deep level of trust. In that room, I knew there was only the two of us and knew whatever I said, I would never be judged. I also knew that whatever Elle said was always exploratory, probing, but never meant to create new hurt or wounds. At the start, I did not have the emotional or mind tools to even understand the process itself, but I learned quickly...
As another aside, we talk about nurses as the healing profession. I do strongly believe it is beyond high time that we should extend that to counsellors too, and here I use the word to encompass all the great and astute listeners out there.
The big breakthrough came a few sessions in when she said something in context which hit me so hard and so deeply that I cried. I don't mean I shed tears. I mean I cried. She simply said this in that quiet, caring, undemanding voice of hers:
"And what about compassion for yourself?"
I will remember those words for the rest of my life and, yes, the remembering brings deep emotions even as I write this. Because they cut through the defences I had erected like a knife.
And then I cried.
That was the first time I had cried in a very long time, perhaps since I was a small child. I cried without guilt. Oh, for sure, I had been crying (not italicized) and crying out in pain for years. That's not what I mean by crying. Crying is much more visceral, heartfelt, mindfelt, the tears and the snot, the non-verbal cries and moans of emotional pains, the one or two words which come unbidden and often start with "I… ". A cycle of damped reflections and reverberations when we identify the source of the pain in our own minds and come face to face with our fears, thus setting the crying off again. And again... Until everything is damped to just a murmur.
When you have truly cried you will know it. Because you will know you have let something inside you that needed to be released out. In short you will feel much, much better (do not conflate here my choice of word better with happier, for this is not my meaning at all), because you have come to some new understanding or acceptance of yourself or your predicaments.
You see, for me, crying is a healing mechanism. It is a relief valve, a necessary outlet for my emotional wellbeing. I think this must be true for all humans. Just as when we shed blood and intense pain at physical hurts, leading to the release of cocktails of hormones to help us survive, so too there are extremely good evolutionary and hormonal reasons for crying too. Of course there are... Of course there are..
Unfortunately, we live in a "society" in which we are told that crying is to be repressed, that it is unsightly, that it is a form of weakness. This cultural norm is very wrong on many levels, but just the act of repressing our evolutionary function to cry should tell us that it can only result in eventual damage to ourselves.
Cry Free
That first time I cried didn't last long, precisely because I myself had been taught to bottle it all up too. After a lifetime of repression, it was not easy to cry for long and the cork was unconsciously put back into the bottle quickly. Too quickly.
Nevertheless, that first time really opened my eyes, opened my mind and opened my heart. As I continued to progress with Elle, it became easier each time. I began to look forward to my sessions with Elle simply for the opportunities to work at and find those things which could make me cry.
I am a man who can and does cry freely now. Without guilt. Am I a weak man? You decide.
There is one more thought I would like to share with you, one more secret.
We can also cry in thanks giving and we can cry for joy too.
Elle, I am crying as I write this due to our parting of the ways, but while melancholy, these are tears of shear pleasure in the remembrance of your gift. You helped me to find joy in myself again and enabled me to find myself in joy. You were the light at the end of my tunnel. I would have been lost without you.
My gift in return is to pass on the baton. To help others find themselves too, to help other people just to let go and learn how to cry again. There are so many people in my network, far too many to easily count, who I know are in real trouble or are really hurting and for whom a good cry would certainly do no harm.

The last day of National Poetry Month and I have not forgotten. This is a special poem by Ann Shapiro who was fortunate to stay in one of our fine Lake Worth Vacation-stays.
The Floridian Bus Rider's Buzz
Dedicated to J.C.H. who gently encouraged us to avoid renting a car
Morning calm to early evening chaos
Spanish, Creole, English and more,
bus riders courteous and familiar to those foreign and tenuous.
A man requests to carry on a microwave,
are we in Mexico or Nicaragua, maybe Peru?
No need to travel further,
for their ambassadors are here softening our world.
Buses timely to unbearably late,
a small child tugs the skirt of her mother,
a pack of teens laughs with a marginal man,
a young woman gives an aged one her seat.
To my delight a broad palette of skin color
Rich brown tones to variable white
African-American Mayan Latino to those pale and gray,
the lithe the thin stocky or obese
sit by the mumbling-ill or flamboyant manic her hair a hot pink.
In humid heat breeze or rain always the A/C chill,
yet warmth comes from the buzz and indelibly enthralls.
Ann Shapiro – 02/14
Ann and her husband live on the outskirts of Salem N.Y. and were collected from the Palm Beach International Airport. Advised they did not need a vehicle but should they decide a get a rental car, they can make that decision on day three or four. They remained without a car for the entire month, using Palm Beach County public transportation. They got to know Lake Worth's charm, shopped here and dined at almost every restaurant we have. Results of their month stay. They have requested that they would like to come back on an annual basis and instead of a month perhaps three.
Thank You for the submission

My divorce made me the black sheep of my family. The million-dollar question is: Can I ever turn white or wear white again?
This popped into my head as my boyfriend recently got down on one knee and you guessed it, asked for my hand in marriage. There he was, all five foot ten of him, on one knee holding out a opened black ring box displaying a beautiful two karat diamond ring in a platinum setting (excellent job I might add, baby).
I had a mix of emotions. On the one hand, I'm a Jewish girl and I had this immediate JAP-y elation when I saw the diamond. But on the other hand, I felt this sad pit in my stomach remembering my embarrassing first marriage and subsequent divorce.
I flashed back to June of 2001 when I stood in a white silk organza gown in front of the mirror of my parent's bathroom in Boston. The blood red walls were closing in on me. I knew I was making a mistake.
I was about to make another error... I had this long veil secured to my black hair by a crystal-beaded comb. My shaky hands lifted up my extremely hot flat iron in an attempt to straighten my Jew-fro but I only succeeded in burning a massive hole in my veil. Did I mention I was loaded? I took a small handful of tranquilizers a 1/2 hour before the ceremony was to begin.
I stumbled down the aisle, which was on my parents' rooftop over looking The Charles River. I could feel and hear the wind whip right through the hole in my veil. I stupidly went ahead with the marriage because he looked really good on paper and was very handsome. Unfortunately, he had as much interest in having sex with me as Rush Limbaugh has interest in women's rights. That's right, I was pretty sure he was gay.
I spent the next six years in that marriage numbing the sexual neglect and remorse with pills and vodka. Looking back, I see that the marriage was a soft cushion upon which I self-destructed and unraveled, and continued to do so during and after my divorce. The black sheep label was now tattooed on my forehead.
My divorce enabled me to hit rock bottom seven plus years ago. I found myself sleeping in my car. I knew I needed to work on getting my life back on track, which I've been doing for the last seven years with the help of many wise guides. Getting married again was not at the forefront of my mind.
Then, earlier this year, I was at a Starbucks in Hollywood and randomly met a cute man. He was wearing a Knicks baseball hat and shorts. I was in a patriotic blue and white striped dress. We sat down at a small table and stared at each other for a moment. I decided to regale him with my story about how I inadvertently slept next to the Dalai Lama for a week.
"I know that story." He said smiling.
"How do you know that story?" I asked in amazement.
"I heard you speak about it at this meditation meeting a few months ago." He said point blank.
My mouth was open. That was the one and only time I had been to that meeting. I was sharing about my experience, strength and hope with a group of people not knowing he was one of them. Chills came over me.
Further in our conversation it was discovered that we both went to NYU and attended the same Jewish summer camp back East. We had everything in common including our shared love of spirituality and Judaism.
I always thought it was corny when people talked about knowing when you've met "the one." But I'm here to say I'm now one of those cheesy mother f'ers! I knew in that instant this was the man I wanted to run down the aisle with.
Ironically, my fiancé is also the black sheep of his family. We both made a lot of poor decisions in our collective history due to substances we put in our bodies. Whether our families let go of our pasts and look to our future without condemnation is up to them. Forgiveness, I believe, is a decision we make to focus on love while letting the rest go.
I've learned that I'm responsible for my own happiness. I don't need my family's approval or for them to absolve me from being the black sheep. I can be the white sheep and wear a white gown. This time it won't matter if I straighten my hair with my veil on because I'm straight and thank God so is my fiancé.

First Principles Thinking
Businesses (and startups in particular) must actively question assumptions. They must engage in first principles thinking, which, in the words of Elon Musk, means to "boil things down to their fundamental truths and reason up from there." Before getting caught up in details, businesses must establish their biggest truths.
Instead of saying, "Battery packs are expensive," ask yourself, "What makes battery packs expensive?" That way, you will realize that the materials themselves are affordable, while the manufacturers' retail price must be higher than the cost of materials to receive a margin. Perhaps the solution is to self-manufacture battery packs.
First principles thinking can apply to physics, philosophy, and your personal life. Question the nature of a problematic assumption and you will find the solution.

I am at a loss...
Instigation also doesn't work.
I don't know.
We parasites are almost left with no other choice than a change of hosts.
Stop sucking blood?
Maybe consider starting a discussion instead of sniping at those who do? More specifically, a discussion on any subject other than not having any other discussions to snipe at? This is at least the fourth time since the overhaul that you've started a new one complaining about a lack of targets.

>Hamilton's Accumulation of Echoes/
>I think I'd be ok being a writer.
I really really don't mind deadlines, and I think I could handle them better if it were my JOB to handle them better. I'd love waking up early and stimulating my creativity with coffee and the dim light cast by the dawning sun filtering through remaining dew residue in the air.
I'd enjoy having a column in the paper or being a contributing writer to a magazine or drafting chapters to send to a publisher. I'd get enormous pleasure out of being that eccentric man who has crazy hair, talks in paradoxes but speaks the truth, drinks coffee like its water and carries around a little moleskin journal in which I jot ideas as they come to me before I forget them. I'd carry around a tape recorder to dictate the ideas I don't feel like writing, and I'd hang out in coffeeshops and Panera Bread. I'd spurn ideas in my captive audience of freedom and individuality no matter what the topic.
I'd slip in little subliminal commands to prepare my army of zombies so that they can defend me when everybody else's zombies take over the world.
I'd do tv interviews when Regis or Ellen read something that sparks their attention and I'd talk about my past and how it shaped who I am. I'd speak of my wonderful family, of the friends I have made and lost, of God and His unflinching perseverance and how nobody is a lost cause. I'd promote my sponsors, plug my favorite bands, travel the world signing books and baffling people with my mysterious few words, for few words clearly means that they're important, and making them cryptic unmistakably means that unraveling their meanings is crucial to bettering your life.
Until then, I think I'm stuck with this stupid blog.

It Australian Newspaper
Australian Jarryd Hayne is a rugby player by trade, but he's now a running back for the San Francisco 49ers.
After surviving final cuts and making the 53-man roster, Hayne is making his debut Monday night against the Minnesota Vikings.
Things didn't start so hot for the Aussie, as he muffed his first career touch — a punt.
He looked a bit better on his next opportunity, a catch out of the flat in which he duped a defender and gained about seven yards.
But the best part of Hayne's debut? An Australian newspaper is live-blogging it, and it might be the best thing you read all day. The blog's author, Matt Cleary (who describes himself as a "Journo, man of golf, gibberer, malarkist" on his Twitter page), doesn't seem to fully understand the rules of football, but he's having a blast anyway.
Cleary also has referred to the punter as a "punt man, " said Adrian Peterson has a "nice shiny head on him, " and described 49ers coach Jim Tomsula as having looked like he ate an onion sandwich.

10 Most Effective Hebrew SEO Techniques To Rank Hebrew Site In Israel
Around the world Search Engine Marketing (SEM) and Search Engine Optimization (SEO) are generally done in English and languages written from left to right.
When it comes to doing SEO/SEM in Hebrew there are lots of other factors you have to take into account while marketing your website/blog by the use of search engines.
Here are 10 rules and key factors for doing SEO in Hebrew… Several of these tips are applicable to other localized languages too.
1- Localize Your Domain
When marketing a website in Hebrew and Israel languages you must begin by constructing your website on a local Israeli domain which is "co.il".
Google and other search engines will take care of local domain names better than international ones (.com). This applies to other countries also – always use their local domain.
For instance,
In my case, I'll use .in extension which is of India (proud to be an Indian).
Even if your site is in English, but still targeted at Israelis living in Israel you should localize it.
Yes, using localizes domain extension is very important…
2- Store Your Website Locally
You should host your internet website in Israel.
Your target audience is Israelis who live in Israel; they will access the website faster when it is hosted locally. A resell SEO company can help you with website build, host and keyword search engine to improve the traffic from day one.
Your website will get better rankings on Google and other search engines when it locally stored.
3- Encode Your Website Appropriately
While making an internet website in the Hebrew language you must confirm that the website is encoded as it should be so that every visitor will read the Hebrew fonts accurately and won't get the fonts in Gibberish.
My favorite encoding is UTF-8.
4- Look in the Mirror
Keep in mind that the Hebrew language is written from right to left side and not from left to right-hand side that means that you shouldn't apply a regular website theme or template.
You have to make use of a mirror version of the left to right side theme or template. You must confirm that the direction specified is right to left and that the text is properly aligned to the right-hand side… Otherwise, the Hebrew fonts will not be shown accurately and Google's crawler will read your website the wrong way round.
5- Hebrew Keyword Research
Up until July 08, there were no perfect keyword research tools in Hebrew. Tools like keyword discovery and word tracker didn't give services in Hebrew. So as to get search volume in Hebrew for a particular keyword research you had to spend a piece of the SEO budget on a Google Adwords campaign.
You can also use SEMrush
Google Adwords keyword Planner tool shows average monthly search volumes on its Google Adwords keyword tool. After authenticating the statistics opposite a few Adwords campaigns we came to an end that these monthly search volumes can be trusted.
Nowadays, the keyword research is done by using Google Adwords keyword Planner (GAKP), Long Tail Pro, and among some others.
6- Hebrew Competition
Israel is a well-developed technology savvy country but there aren't as much of blogs and websites in Hebrew as in English language, so a small number of websites and blogs are competing for getting one of the top 10 positions on the first page of the search results.
A blog or website can rank on the first page of Google within a few months on almost every keyword (although there are some very competitive keywords which need extra time and attempt).
7- Advertising Budget
The competition in the Hebrew language is lower than that of in English; however, the search volume is lower too.
A Hebrew keyword searched has about 10%-15% search volume of its equivalent keyword in English. Since the keyword competition is lower and because finally, you will get less amount of traffic to your blog or website the SEO budget for each website in Hebrew is poorer…
You are paying $10,000- $10,500 per month for good SEO services for a word in English, then it will charge you 1500$-3000$ per month for its equivalent keyword in Hebrew (these statistics are estimates and not exact ones).
8- Google is Still Learning Hebrew
Keep in mind that optimizing a blog for Google in Hebrew must require taking into account that Google is continuously improving its Hebrew robots.
I want to say that Google can easily distinguish between single and plural of the similar words in Hebrew, Google also can, without a doubt, determine ordinary misspelled words.
Ultimately, Google is humanizing its Hebrew data day by day…
9- Other Search Engines Vs. Google
Did you know that Google holds approximately 94% of the searches in Israel?
The core cause is that other search engines, for example, yahoo, Bing, and Live, and even local search engine like Walla; recognize just fundamental Hebrew which is as much as necessary for basic searches and this isn't sufficient for properly elaborating intricate query searches.
In the end, local search engines left with their poor search results which are not as much of relevant as Google's.
So, as a smart blogger, you have to keep in mind that nearly total searches in Hebrew are finished by means of Google.
10- Old Technology Still Works
Did you the fact that Google.co.il expertise is approximately one and half years behind from Google.com technology?
This is the major reason behind old SEO techniques which are not as much effective in Google.com, still work for Google.co.il.
Such kind of SEO techniques generally consists of link exchanging with article directories of any category and link buying (but,,, I personally with my yet blogging experience believe that buying backlinks is not harmful).
BTW, this isn't an advice to make use of such processes which are less applicable for Google.com, because after a few months they may restrict such manners to apply to Google.co.il also and that will be very harmful to your property (website or blog).
Marketing a blog/website locally in Israel, whatever in English or in the Hebrew language, should be done by an Israeli SEO/SEM company knowing and living the local language and more important the local mentality.
Note: If you want to do it yourself I also recommend you to do it yourself because it is not so much difficult and it saves a chunk of money which you can use for other purposes like buying a lovely dress for your Girlfriend…
