Three Ways Your Onboarding Program Drives Sales Results
Nov 01 2018
In a recent blog post, Seleste Lunsford shared insights based on our 2018 Sales Talent Study centered around the question "You Hired the Right Salespeople. Now What?". She mentioned the role of sales enablement, especially the role of their onboarding program for new hires. Today, let's look more closely at the latest onboarding data and why it matters.
Whenever an organization hires new talent, a lot of money is spent during the hiring process, and sales leaders know that the new hires' ramp-up time to full productivity will require an additional investment.
Based on our 2018 Sales Performance Study (requires membership), the average sales cycle length to close business with new customers (the usual scenario for new hires) takes a few months. Only 24.2% of sales cycles are shorter than 3 months, 29.3% last between 4-6 months, 28.0% between 7 and 12 months, and 18.5% last even longer than 12 months.
Think about your business and your average sales cycle length for new customers. Enabling new hires to be fully productive quickly is critical for you to achieve your desired sales results. Moreover, onboarding new hires also means that your existing sales force, especially the top performers, have to make an extra effort to close the revenue gap during the ramp-up time of your new hires.
For these reasons, it makes a lot of sense to design and implement an outstanding onboarding program that addresses what the new hires really need to have valuable, relevant and differentiating conversations that matter in your buyers' context.
Now, let's see how effective onboarding programs are based on the latest data of our 2018 Sales Enablement Study (requires membership). We asked the study participants (who have various roles) to rank the effectiveness of enablement services in four categories: exceeds expectations, meets expectations, needs improvement, and needs redesign. Onboarding services were ranked in the middle, with 52.9% of participants reporting their onboarding services to be in the "meet/exceed expectations" category and 47.1% ranking their onboarding in the "needs improvement/redesign." More interesting is the question, does it matter, and if so, how?
Effective onboarding services that are ranked to meet/exceed expectations can improve quota attainment by 16.2%.
Organizations that ranked their onboarding services as meet/exceed expectations achieved an average quota attainment rate of 57.3%. Compared to the group with onboarding services that were ranked as need improvement or even redesign, it's a difference of +8.0 percentage points, which is an actual improvement of 16.2%.
Effective onboarding programs speed up the ramp-time to full productivity by 17.9%
Based on our 2018 Sales Talent Study we learned that those organizations that agreed or strongly agreed that they had a strong onboarding program reported getting salespeople up to full productivity in 7.8 months. Those who disagreed/strongly disagreed took 9.5 months. Organizations that report having an effective onboarding program ramp up their new hires 17.9% more quickly, providing nearly two additional months of full productivity.
Ineffective onboarding services increase your voluntary turnover rate from 7.9% up to 14.2%
Based on our 2018 Sales Enablement Study (requires membership) we also learned that effective onboarding services are crucial to managing the voluntary turnover rate. When onboarding services were ranked as "needs major redesign," the voluntary turnover rate jumped from the average of 7.9% up to 14.2%. This creates a vicious circle in which onboarding becomes even more important because a greater percentage of the sales force is new.
If you make your business case for hiring new sales talent, please factor in that there is no alternative to creating and implementing a highly effective onboarding program. The three reasons I shared here should help you to make a comprehensive business case, as it tackles win rates, quota attainment and allows you to better manage the turnover rate.
Next week, we are going to discuss HOW an effective onboarding program could look like.
More details are included in our 2018 Sales Enablement Study!
If you haven't already, have a look at our new book Sales Enablement – A Master Framework to Engage, Equip and Empower a World-Class Sales Force. Lots of "how to" information to address the challenges mentioned here.
Questions for you:
- How do you onboard your newly hired sales talent?
- How do you measure the business impact of your onboarding program?
- How well do you collaborate with the hiring managers and the sales managers to ensure that you hire the RIGHT talent?

I have now almost finished the close to 700 page epic that is Helter Skelter; and it has not been a light undertaking. In many ways, this book is everything one could want and expect from a good crime novel, except that its basis in true events adds to the impact of the story. It's not comfortable reading, and I felt saddened and chilled as I made my way through it.
The author was the prosecuting DA on the case against Manson and the Family for the Tate/LaBianca murders in 1970, and as such, the density of legal and factual detail is relentless. There are excerpts from court transcripts, crime scene reports, and the like, and these serve to make the text all the more compelling.
But ultimately, Helter Skelter is most memorable as an indirect biography of Charles Manson, and the mystery surrounding both his motives, and his charismatic hold over the Family. Fascinating reading for lovers of (true)crime, and anyone who's interested in such an iconic figure.

Peter Graves (1926)
Peter Aurness
Peter Aurness (March 18, 1926 – March 14, 2010), known professionally as Peter Graves, was an American film and television actor. He was best known for his starring role in the CBS television series Mission: Impossible from 1967 to 1973. His elder brother was actor James Arness (1923–2011).
early lifeGraves was born Peter Aurness in Minneapolis, Minnesota, a son of Methodist parents Rolf Cirkler Aurness (1894–1982), a businessman, and his wife Ruth (née Duesler, died 1986), a journalist. Graves' ancestry was Norwegian, English and German. The family name originally was "Aursnes," but when Rolf's Norwegian father, Peter Aursnes, immigrated to New York City in 1887, he changed the spelling. Peter used the stage name "Graves", a maternal family name.
Graves graduated from Southwest High School in 1944, and spent two years in the United States Army Air Force near the end of World War II. He then enrolled at the University of Minnesota on the G.I. Bill, and was a member of Phi Kappa Psi fraternity.
careerThroughout Graves' career he appeared in more than seventy films, television shows, and television movies. In the 1950s, Graves joined the NBC television series Fury, as the rancher and adoptive single father, Jim Newton. Graves also was involved in the 1953 World War II film, Stalag 17, where he portrayed a German spy pretending to be a prisoner of war.
From 1960-61 Graves starred as leading character Christopher Cobb in 34 episodes of the TV series Whiplash. In the story line Cobb is an American who arrives in Australia in the 1850s to establish the country's first stagecoach line, using a bullwhip rather than a gun to fight the crooks that he encounters. The series also starred Anthony Wickert. Graves also starred in the British made ITC series Court Martial playing U.S. Army Lawyer Major Frank Whittaker (one of the series two American Leads starring opposite Bradford Dillman's Captain David Young ) as well as guest roles in such series as Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Route 66 and The Invaders,(episode; 'Moonshot') In 1967, Graves was recruited by Desilu Studios to replace Steven Hill as the lead actor on Mission: Impossible. Graves played Jim Phelps, the sometimes gruff leader of the Impossible Missions Force or IMF, for the remaining six seasons of the series. After the series ended in 1973, Graves played a cameo-type support role in the feature film Sidecar Racers in Australia which was released in 1975. Graves also made a guest appearance in the teen soap opera Class of '74 in mid-1974, playing himself.
Graves was cast as Palmer Kirby in the 1983 ABC miniseries, The Winds of War. He played opposite Robert Mitchum, Jan Michael Vincent, Deborah Winters and Ali McGraw in what became in '83, the second most watched miniseries of all time .
After playing mainly serious roles in the 1970s, he acted as Captain Clarence Oveur in the early 80s comedies Airplane! and Airplane II: The Sequel.
In 1988 a Hollywood writers' strike resulted in a new Mission: Impossible series being commissioned. Graves was the only original cast member to return as a regular . The series was filmed in Australia, and Graves made his third journey there for acting work. The new version of Mission: Impossible lasted for two seasons, ending in 1990. Bookending his work on Mission: Impossible, Graves starred in two pilot films called Call to Danger, which were an attempt to create a Mission: Impossible-style series in which Graves played a government agent who recruited civilians with special talents for secret missions.
The 1960s version of the pilot, according to Patrick White in The Complete Mission: Impossible Dossier , is credited with winning Graves the role of Phelps; after Mission: Impossible ended in 1973, Graves filmed a third version of the pilot (this one structured as a made-for-TV movie), but it did not sell as a series. The concept was later used in the brief 1980s adventure series Masquerade.
During the 1990s, he hosted the documentary series Biography on A&E. He also acted in a number of films featured on Mystery Science Theater 3000, which subsequently featured running jokes about Graves' Biography work and presumed sibling rivalry with Arness. The films that have been featured on Mystery Science Theater 3000 include SST: Death Flight, It Conquered the World, Beginning of the End, Parts: The Clonus Horror, and an uncredited voiceover in Attack of the Eye Creatures. The film Killers from Space was featured in The Film Crew, Michael J. Nelson's follow-up to MST3K. Graves himself parodied his Biography work in the film Men in Black II, hosting an exposé television show. He also played Colonel John Camden on the television series 7th Heaven. In 1995, Graves starred with Charlton Heston, Mickey Rooney and Deborah Winters in the Warren Chaney docudrama, America: A Call to Greatness.
In the 1996 film update of Mission: Impossible, the character of Phelps was re-imagined as a traitor who murders three fellow IMF agents only to be killed himself at the end of the film, a decision that disappointed Graves.
On October 30, 2009, Graves was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
AirTran Airways featured Graves in a series of web-only "Internetiquette" videos in 2009 in which Graves appeared in a pilot's uniform and references classic Airplane! lines. The videos were part of an AirTran Airways campaign to promote their in-flight wireless Internet access.
In the summer of 2009 Graves signed on as a spokesperson for reverse mortgage lender American Advisors Group . Graves appeared in a national commercial in which he educated seniors about the benefits of reverse mortgages.
Graves' final project was narrating the computer game epic Darkstar: The Interactive Movie, released November 5, 2010.
personal lifeGraves was a devout Christian. He was married to Joan Endress from 1950 until his death. Their marriage produced three daughters: Kelly Jean, Claudia King and Amanda Lee. Graves had six grandchildren.
deathAfter returning from a brunch on March 14, 2010, Graves collapsed and died of a heart attack at the age of 83. He was four days from his 84th birthday. It was reported that one of his daughters attempted to revive him, but was unsuccessful.

Going back to school is exciting for most kids, despite their complaints to the contrary. They enjoy seeing their friends, getting a new start, and updating each other on all the summer gossip. For teachers who have done it repeatedly, the polish of starting another year sometimes can lose its lustre. Many who have had to work or attend classes during the vacation can find themselves not quite ready emotionally nor organizationally. Here are some tips for teachers as they head back for another year of educating our youth.
Whether on note cards, rosters, or some other creative means, get kids to share information. Email addresses, phone numbers, hobbies, goals, parent situation, ( single parent/guardian etc) allergies, even favorite cartoons all can tell you a lot about the population with whom you are about to share a year of your career. Thumb through them as they are turned in, looking for interesting facts you might be able to share with the class without embarrassing anyone. This information can come in handy later in the year. For instance, if a student has been sick, having their email might allow you to send a get well wish along with some assignments so that they don't have so much to make up when they return.
Each class has its own personality. Depending on time of day, mix of students, and subject matter, each group develops their own special bond, humor, and teacher/student relationship. Use the first day to begin to build some of those components. An ice breaker activity that gets kids laughing, talking, and moving are most effective. One example is to have every kids write down three things about themselves that NO one else would know. Then have classmates try to predict which facts go with what people. Incorrect assumptions can be almost as fun as getting some correct. Kids will remember those facts the entire year and some high school legends have been built on such facts!
From the moment students walk in, they should sense that you are a professional. With the fun activities mentioned above, it is important that kids see that you know the difference between having fun and being silly. One message that is always beneficial to send is that sometimes fun can mean working hard at something and reaping the benefits. By balancing fun activities with professionalism, kids get the message that hard work will be rewarded, and hard workers can also enjoy the process.
Anything related to classroom policies, procedures or preferences should be POSTED visibly. If you only have those types of things written down in a syllabus, many of the kids who struggle with organization to begin with, will lose it. Having a daily visual reminder will help those who struggle with keeping it all together. It is also great evidence when a parent tries to claim that their child didn't know a particular rule or procedure.
Something as small as a pencil with the school logo or funny little trinkets acquired over the summer can send the message that you intend to have a personal influence on each and every student. Team up with another teacher to share the work of preparing something, but keep it simple. Even a laminated poem or favorite quotation can add a personal touch that sends the message that the teacher is glad that each and every student is a part of their classroom.
When October rolls around, kids and teachers have resigned themselves to the fact that school is indeed officially a routine. Getting kids into that routine with a positive outlook begins the very first day of school. If one isn't careful, it just might lift the spirits of the teacher as well.

2 day sentence for bigamyI am speechless after reading this article in the Des Moines Register. It starts:
A woman who admits she was married to three men at the same time will spend two days in jail on a bigamy charge.
Can anybody find me a man caught married to two women, yet alone three, who got a two day sentence? But, wait, it gets better:
The multiple marriages were uncovered during an investigation of a fatal fire in Griswold.
Street's daughter, Tracey Dyess, then 17, is accused of setting the blaze which killed her 13-year-old sister, Jessica, and a 6-year-old nephew, Kaleb.
Street's third husband, Brian, who escaped the fire at the home, faces federal charges of pornography and sexual abuse involving Tracey and Jessica.
So she is not just a bigamist, she is obviously guilty of child endangerment and being a horrible Mother (which isn't necessarily illegal but should be).
But wait, there's more...
Debbie Street is already on probation for a crime involving fraudulent check writing.
Isn't poligamy and child endangerment a probation violation in Iowa?

The Scale of Things Public lecture series - Atomic to Global Scale: on your knees to manganese
From playing a critical role in oxygen production and shaping the soil we grow our food in, manganese is a giver of life. And yet how many of you have heard of manganese? Manganese, atomic number 25, not magnesium (atomic number 12). Manganese is ephemeral, like art and culture. It is not preserved in one place like many other metals in rocks. Manganese is too useful for life to be locked away in the geosphere. Globally, it is transformed between aqueous and solid forms innumerable times throughout geological history. At the atomic scale, it is also elusive. Manganese is hard to study because unlike other important metals like iron, it doesn't have a user-friendly radioactive isotope to help trace its path.
This talk outlines a journey taken via science and art about manganese and the things we have learnt along the way. We now know that manganese is intimately linked with the carbon cycle but we speculate that it is also influential in keeping oxygen concentrations at 21% which they have been for much of geological history. We travel through time from the very first photosynthetic processes on Earth by Mn atoms to global carbon sequestration in the world's oceans and soils today, explaining manganese's potential role in fine-tuning the global cycles of carbon, oxygen and water. This talk will have you on your knees to manganese.
Dr Karen Johnson
Karen's research has a strong emphasis on using 'wastes' as resources. To date, much of her research has focussed on the passive treatment of contaminated waters and soils using 'wastes' and industry byproducts in place of primary aggregates. She is also working on carbon stabilization in common soil minerals and enhancing urban flood resilience by using soil amendments. Karen has a track record of multi-disciplinary projects collaborating both with industry, regulatory authorities, policy-makers, science and social science departments and artists. More details about Dr Johnson's research can be found at:https://www.dur.ac.uk/ihrr/robust/.
Dr Johnson is passionate about soil protection and in 2016 gave oral evidence to the Government's Environmental Audit Committee's Inquiry into Soil Health. She stated that urban soils are currently unprotected and that engineers should lead the way in the sustainable management of urban soils since soils have an important role to play both in climate change adaptation and climate change mitigation http://www.parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/f77d63b0-bc6e-425b-aa47-ba63be60be99 …pic.twitter.com/wNU6gaXp5Y
Stephen Livingstone
Artist Stephen Livingstone collaborates with museums and institutions in the production of work which deals with human impact upon landscapes and habitats. His art can take a number of forms including drawing, construction, installation and digital printing and he has developed projects for the British Library, the National Trust, Oxford University Museum and the Museum of Art and Design in NewYork.
In 2015 Stephen was Leverhulme Artist in Residence at Durham University's School of Engineering and Computing Sciences where he worked under the direction of Dr. Karen Johnson exploring the properties of mineral pigments as drawing media. The 12 month residency resulted in a number of series of drawings, some on a very large scale, made using ferric oxide, coal dust, galena and lead compounds. "Atmospheric Monitoring" was made in response to Karen's research into manganese.

Humanity has advanced, when it has advanced, not because it has been sober, responsible, and cautious, but because it has been playful, rebellious, and immature. ~ Tom Robbins
Manifesto for Conscious Play
We are undoing what is done unproper
making room at the table for what is fluid, what is grace, is new. We are forging new portals for Delight, shaving milliseconds off the time it takes to acknowledge that inconvenience or interruption is not actually possible, and in that remembering, we are sailing forth onto the proper timbers of adventure, again and again. We've been studying the sacred art of bally hoo for a white rainbow of lifetimes and now we are …
Sending burning arrows
The dark night seas are lit with our Viking funerals for the false and fear-based comfort plantations that whittle aliveness to a precarious ember, leaving the soul to pound on the body window, desperate to live. We're planting real possibilities in their stead, where one whole-hearted silly can cure, completely, the divide between soul and the orange groves at dawn. We're laughing, like it's our job, truth or daring, kisses and parlays, opting for truth only to loose the heavy and stupid secrets into the uncaring ear-baskets of a stranger who will wisely let them shatter to the grocery floor, and we are …
Amping up our taste for freedom
because going crazy on it feels oasis excessive after desert nothingness and not only can we handle too much choice, too much wahoo wonderment, too much saturation of pleasure, we require those exact conditions, like a plant refuses to fuck around without the Sun. We are not fucking around without the sun either, we are …
Leaving windows open
in everything, every boat, every poem, every road trip, and especially, in every saving-grace interruption (that fantastic silly fuck-up that illumes the infinite truth about how shiver-fish delicious it is to be this alive.) And we are …
Issuing product recalls for the sleeping shoppers
If you bought the bippy that says you have to stop playing in order to be a proper adult, send it back. And stop buying bippies. We are …
You are really a field of bougainvillea gone brainwild in the year of rain. You are cotton candy running round n round the stick. You are the return on eons of I-think-I-can investments. And you are see through with yes. And we are see through with yes, we are …
For, to truly play, is to storm yourself exactly new.
A sad heart
will have full & proper vantage
restored in a single silver-heeled dip
into true and woo hooing
play, which just
happens to be
the best – ist
Way to be
a true
1. Burn down the idea that play equals childish. The two notions are bound together in a common cultural attitude that applauds children frolicking yet chastises adults engaged in play as lazy or miscreant. Let joy's fire burn you free.
2. If children and animals use play as a way of practicing and becoming ready for the next stage of their personal evolution, because playing helps them stay loose, honed, open, pliant, responsive, curious, and in flow, while locating them energetically snuggled up next to the heart of Infinite Possibility, then in what universe does it make a lick of sense for anyone to give up the best tool in their arsenal for keeping them up to speed with their own expansion?
3. Play does not require spontaneity; it breeds it.
4. The more authentically and fully you engage with the endeavor before you, the more whoosh, presence, willingness and invisible resources you'll have available on the canvas of your own now (this is called playing hard, or fully.) This allows your state of being to continually upshift into more and more usable, energized and clear states. Happy people are more successful in every area of life. Learning how to play with how you do life lets you begin to leverage the power of your own joy. That's when the real fun begins.
5. Play is inherently elevating. You don't need to feel playful or joyful to begin because the act of playing will raise you up, like a lock system in a canal, because playing drops you into Flow. Here's how: the endeavors we choose to play in compel our attention, naturally, towards things that make us feel good when we focus upon them, (ooo, color! wow, math secrets! yay, I crushed that jump! Ahhh, my body dancing in perfect harmony with this beautiful music, so satisfy! etc). You can help the rising action by letting giving over to your fascination and getting rid of interruptions, or, really, anything that distracts you from the fascination.
6. Play singularizes your focus, calling you to be more and more present with the now (like meditation) so you feel less split and this also helps your boat to rise. The game, the artistic engagement, the deep drop into composition, accepting the playful invitation, regardless the form, all have within them the bridge you need to return to your natural state of buoyancy. Trust the rising nature of play.
7. Dr. Who's phone booth is very different on the inside. People immersed, happy, and armpit-deep in a play-space, are in a different state of being, with an entirely different perspective and point of attraction than what you might observe from the outside. Don't waste time judging other people's ways of playing. Reinvest that judgey energy into a high yield inquiry into where your joy lives and what YOUR next adventure smells like (you do you, bruh).
8. Unwend softly. Remembering how to play can feel like standing in line waiting to be chosen in gym class. At first, you may be paralyzed between the twin fears of worrying what to do if someone passes you the ball, and worrying what to do if no one ever does. Don't worry dumpling, cuz, like every other person, you were born a perfect player. Let your journey back to recovering your playful heart be a private and perfectly messy endeavor, just like, well, life. Primordial ooze, earthquakes and rainbows and all.
9. Structure facilitates abandonment. While a structured game may seem, from your current position of grumpy malaise, to be lame and unattractive, the structure of the play-space will support you in your journey from Grump to Good by compelling your attention away from those thoughts that were making you grumpy and luring your attention onto things that genuinely rock the casbah, especially your casbah.
10. Most people haven't even begun to play their own life because they're still tangled up in what other people are doing, or not doing, or might be secretly doing. Bleh. Don't waste waste your precious creative life energy in other people's business. You have no idea what situations or growth curves they're coming out of, or where they're tenderly journeying towards. Every milli-ounce of brainjuice you use trying to figure out their business is brainjuice that you're not using to play open your own beautiful business. All that wasted brainjuice could be used to quietly listen for what new music or adventure is hailing you, or to tune into the baby sprout urges of creative inspiration, it's brainjuice you could be using to find and tend your own damn fine and perfectly perfect for you Yes.
11. Play restores proper vantage. Paradoxically, it is in the moment of great muddle when play has the most opportunity to be a springboard into a refreshed and profound liberation, even though, in those moments, being playful will feel distant and difficult. The more open you are to life playing through you, the more likely it is that you'll soon discover how play is the fastest way out of a stuck state of being and up to a usable vantage.
12. #12 is currently lost in the Tardis. Though we expect Time to fold in on itself again quite soon, at which point, we'll take a screenshot of whatever #12 is/was/ever could be, and let ya know.
13. Deep play throws us into the eternal present tense. There is no past or future when you are deeply absorbed in play. There isn't a lot of complicatedness or weirdness here. Just you, the real you. Just Beingness. Hang out here, we dare ya.
13. Play fills you up, buttercup. Filling up your joy coffers with a nice, deep dip into a solid play-space will leave you with a tremendous and comprehensive readiness that travels well and can't be easily shaken.
14. Let play infiltrate your whole life. Play a poem instead of writing it. Play dishes (bubbles!) Play sex (bubbles!) Simply shifting your verb shifts your brain into a can't-get-it-wrong mindset.

Your first home – live for free and become wealthy
Your first home – live for free and become wealthy
Whenever I meet someone who is currently renting an apartment, I get really excited. They have an opportunity that many do not have! If you are in an apartment and are currently used to being in a home with less yard space and sharing a wall then you are in a perfect position to buy a home that is a duplex… and this will set you up for financial freedom for your entire life.
I believe in buying rental property anytime in your life as there are many reasons why this is one of the best wealth building tools available (8 out of 10 millionaires became millionaires through real estate), but buying investment property as a place where you will also live has unique advantages:
- Owner occupants can put less down. When you buy an investment property the bank is typically looking for a down payment of 10% – 25%. When you owner occupy you can do as low as 3.5% or 5%.
- Owner occupants get a better interest rate. Investors generally pay about 1% higher than owner occupants.
- You keep these advantages as long as you own the home. If you live there a year and then move somewhere else that is perfectly fine. You don't have to refinance the home. The only thing that would change is your property taxes would increase when you no longer owner occupy.
This doesn't need to be the place you plan to live forever. But while you do live there, the rent you collect from the other unit typically covers 75% – 100% of your mortgage payment. This means you are living pretty darn close to FREE!!!! Take this time to save for a down payment on the house that you buy that is a forever house. And when you move to that forever house you rent out the apartment you were living in and it makes money for you!
For example, if you decide to buy 3 duplexes in 5 years (move every 18 months or so) and then after that buy a home where you would have a bit more space, a yard, and a white picket fence, you will have sufficient income from your rental properties to then make the payment for your single family house. You can continue to live for free or almost free your entire life.
I get really excited about this idea because I think of the freedom of lifestyle you could have if you didn't have a house payment!
Maybe you're reading this and you're thinking "But, I'm already past this point and can't buy them with a low down payment and interest rate anymore." I was in that spot too and have still been able to purchase rental property. It can definitely still be done as an investment. As they say "The best time to plant a tree is 25 years ago, the second best time is today."
Start planting trees, my friends!

This stunning car takes the sharp, superformed lines of the new Continental GT and adds sleek contemporary details that reflect its agile performance.
Elliptical quad tailpipes hint at the potent engine sound, while a discreet V8 badge placed on the fender speaks to the exciting drive to come. Striking 20" ten-spoke painted alloy wheels, available only for the new Continental GT V8 coupé and convertible, have the spokes arranged in symmetrical pairs to make the already dynamic profile even more dramatic.
Inside the car, a single hide colour is used throughout for a look that combines elegance with simplicity. You can choose from five exquisite colours, including Beluga and Cricket Ball – if you wish to explore a wider range of options, or add a secondary colour, there are, of course, many ways to personalise your car - read below to explore more.
The hides are complemented perfectly by the contemporary Crown Cut Walnut veneer as standard, sustainably sourced from the American Black Walnut tree. A further range of optional veneers includes the stunning Piano Black, and any veneer can be enhanced by adding a sleek Chrome Pin Stripe.
Discover a truly captivating driving experience. With twin-scroll turbochargers located inside the V of the engine, the new Continental GT V8 is exceptionally responsive, delivering breathtaking acceleration accompanied by the irresistible sound of a Bentley V8 engine unleashing its immense power – which is especially intense in Sport mode.
The result is a car that can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 3.9 seconds and take you to a top speed of 198 mph.
The variable displacement technology used within the new Continental GT V8's engine increases efficiency without compromising on performance. When the engine's control microprocessor detects a light throttle opening, it closes the valves on four of the cylinders, seamlessly switching back to all eight whenever needed without the driver even noticing. The result is an impressive range of over 500 miles*
Enjoy a wealth of My Bentley* services designed to make the journey smarter, safer and more convenient.

This was the first time I'd ever made homemade mayonnaise. Everyone said it was easy, and that it was way better than store-bought (which I definitely didn't doubt.) But I always imagined, no matter how silly I knew it was, that I would end up with a Miracle-Whip jar's worth of something that would only last a few days. Of course, now that I've made it I know that I can make a reasonable amount of mayo for our small family. And also that it is definitely easy and definitely delicious.
Crack an egg into your food processor (or blender, or bowl, or mortar and pestle if you so choose. If you've got an active kid who likes to help in the kitchen, I bet you could put it in some kind of plastic container with a lid--without the garlic--and have them shake it up until everything is combined.)
I have been on a big kick of using farm-fresh eggs. I got spoiled this spring; a friend who raises chickens gifted me with as many eggs as I could use, and I got used to seeing the beautiful dark yolks. I've tried using grocery store eggs since then, but the pale, yellow yolks make me feel like something not quite right.
I also learned that you don't need to refrigerate unwashed fresh eggs. They have an enzyme from the hen that coats the outside of the shell, and it keeps the eggs safe at room temperature. The reason you have to refrigerate store-bought eggs is that they've been washed, which means the enzyme has been washed off. Regardless, I still refrigerate my eggs, and if they're from the farm I give them a quick rinse and dry right before I use them, even if they look clean.
I also dropped in a small garlic clove. If you really like garlic, you could add another clove or two.
Replace the lid to the processor and turn it on until everything is combined. My little processor has two settings--chop and grind. I used the grind setting but I don't think it really matters. The liquid helps the processor chop the garlic clove into teeny, tiny invisible bits.
Now, here's the part where recipes will tell you to stream in the oil. My little processor doesn't have the ability to stream in liquids. There's no hole in the lid, and it won't run without the lid. Instead, I just slowly added the oil a bit at a time and ran the processor thoroughly after every addition to make sure it was well incorporated. I think I split the oil into 5 or 6 additions.
You can use the mayo for sandwiches or salads (although never forget that it does have a raw egg in it. Don't bring potato salad with homemade mayo in it if the salad's going to sit in the hot sun for a long time.) Or...you can take some of your mayo and use it for honey mustard.
Recipe: Homemade Mayonnaise
1 egg
1 to 1 1/2 tbsp white wine vinegar (or some other acid, such as lemon juice)
1 garlic clove
3/4 c. oil (I used vegetable oil; you can use any kind of oil you like. Just keep in mind that darker oils, like olive or walnut, will have a stronger taste. Lighter oils, like canola, vegetable, or grapeseed, will have a more delicate flavor.)
Combine egg, vinegar, and garlic clove in food processor until garlic is incorporated. If you're using equipment that will allow you to stream in the oil, slowly stream in the oil while mixing. If you're using something that won't allow you to stream the oil, add it slowly in small increments and blend really well after every addition. Salt and pepper for flavor.
Refrigerate right away. Mixture will thicken in the fridge. Makes approximately 1 cup. Use within 3 days.
Now onto the honey mustard!
When I was a kid, there was a restaurant we went to all the time. It was a family restaurant that had a bird theme--stuffed birds and bird decorations were everywhere. My favorite thing to order was chicken fingers. Mostly it was because they served it with this delicious honey mustard. It was mayonnaise-y and thick. They closed a few years ago, but I haven't forgotten that honey mustard.
Add a healthy dollop (2 tbsp or so) of dijon mustard to the mayo. You could use yellow mustard, too, but using the dijon makes me feel like a grown-up.
Wasabi is traditionally made from a Japanese horseradish, but most horseradish people have usually had (including at sushi places) is made from a mix of a more ordinary type of horseradish and additional ingredients to make it more like its authentic cousin.
My husband likes wasabi. A lot. When we go for sushi he will finish off that mound of wasabi paste they put on every plate. I guess he likes clear sinuses.
Recipe: Honey Mustard
1/4 c. homemade mayo
2 tbsp. dijon mustard
1 tsp. wasabi or horseradish
1-3 tsp. honey, to taste
Dash of cayenne pepper
Salt and pepper, to taste
Combine all ingredients in food processor and blend. Enjoy!

|The Resurrection by Jeremy Sams
Happy Easter, everyone!
Today is a special day in Christianity, because it is the day that our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, defeated death and rose from the dead after three days! Since then, Christianity has never been the same!
If you'd like to read about Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection, reference the following books of the Bible:
If you don't have time to read right now, don't worry - you'll get to hear the story! It just won't be from me....
Instead, check out this cute video of The Easter Story being told by a group of children who really know their stuff! Enjoy!
I hope that this video has encouraged you to keep in mind what the true meaning of Easter is and why Jesus' sacrifice for us was so significant. Happy Easter!

So, Trump Tried To Order The Justice Department To Prosecute Clinton And Comey, Which Is Totally Normal
"McGahn rebuffed the president, saying that he had no authority to order a prosecution"…
The best independent market and geopolitical commentary anywhere.
"McGahn rebuffed the president, saying that he had no authority to order a prosecution"…
Sometimes you wonder if Donald Trump is just a man resigned to his own fate.
"This is just a very, very petty thing to do."
"…what's it to you if we pursue such radical policies as universal health care and sensible gun control like some first world nation?"
Oh, Christ on a bike.
Are we still listening to Steve Bannon?
What would this sound like if we quoted him like a normal person? I don't know, let's try it!
It's better to be pissed off than pissed on.
Well fast forward to Sunday morning and, unable to restrain himself or otherwise keep from effectively indicting himself in real-time in front of the entire world, the President was out with this series of absurd rantings…
In stone, cold proof that irony is indeed dead, Donald Trump is up early on Friday tweeting about the FBI (as he's prone to do).
"We will get through this together."
To be sure, Donald Trump did not need any more bad press on Thursday. But…
"The days of crazy King George III ended with the Battle of Yorktown in 1781. We now have a nation of laws, not men."

Mandy Favaloro is an lawyer at A2Z Educational Advocates She is originally from San Francisco and moved to Southern California for college. If you are already in a campus teaching job, this is the appropriate time to enhance your abilities for on the internet teaching jobs. So if you are a late career teacher considering about transitioning to on the web teaching jobs, you will easily relate to many of your students. Hi im maria aura just visited your site and i am prepared apply as a on the internet teacher part or full time will do..I am accessible anytime. I attained my Masters degree from the University of Phoenix,s in 2007 and I have applied to 2 colleges, but I have not received a response in over 8 months.
If the student with mild/moderate disabilities is capable to attend general education classrooms (with observation by the special education teacher or minor accommodations by the common education teacher), then a special education classroom would be regarded too restrictive for him to find out the exact same things that his non-disabled peers are finding out.
Percentage of Charlotte metro region residents 25 and older who had a bachelor's degree or greater in 2014 88.1 percent had at least graduated from high college. Do not get frantic more than it. I have read evaluations in which twenty students believe I am the greatest on the internet teacher in the universe and two feel my class was awful (or also hard, or as well insistent on deadlines). On-line teaching jobs are for TEACHERS, not for attendance recorders and paper graders. I have offered numerous interviews on special ed law, and I have been quoted in education publications.

If you are currently in a complete time job with the desire to transition to teaching, then on-line teaching jobs are excellent for you. A teacher is a compass that activates the magnets of curiosity, expertise, and wisdom in the pupils. I have a masters degree in e-business and I teach on the web personal computer foundation classes.

He's a player.
He plays the bass with expert fingers. He plays women with intoxicating charm. And he'll play me with the ease of a virtuoso.
Who better to teach me to play than the master himself?
I'm his model student, front row, pencil sharp. Pick up lines? I've got them. Free drinks? By the dozen. Kissing? Let me grab my chapstick.
But the most valuable lesson I've learned is that there's so much I don't know. Like why his touch sets off a chain reaction straight to my nethers. Or how I'm certain each kiss is the best I'll ever have, until the moment his lips take mine again.
There's so much I don't know.
Like the fact that I'm only a bet.
But we are what we are. He's a player, through and through.
And I'm the fool who fell in love with him.
This story is just another reason why I freaking love this author. She always gives her readers a classic tale with that Staci Hart one of a kind twist! She seriously writes some of the best books EVER and I have yet to be disappointed by one.
Player is a sexy, fun and all around swoon-worthy romantic comedy that ROMCOM fans will LOVE. Not only was the character development on point (as always), but the storytelling captivated me right from the beginning and oh my goodness I did not want to put this one down, not even for a second. Oh and the humorous tone in this story was such a nice touch. Sam and Val's personalities had be intrigued and their chemistry was H-O-T! I absolutely adored how their relationship played out and how it progressed throughout. There was just so much to love!

About Staci Hart
Staci has been a lot of things up to this point in her life — a graphic designer, an entrepreneur, a seamstress, a clothing and handbag designer, a waitress. Can't forget that. She's also been a mom, with three little girls who are sure to grow up to break a number of hearts. She's been a wife, though she's certainly not the cleanest, or the best cook. She's also super, duper fun at a party, especially if she's been drinking whiskey.
From roots in Houston to a seven year stint in Southern California, Staci and her family ended up settling somewhere in between and equally north, in Denver. They are new enough that snow is still magical. When she's not writing, she's reading, sleeping, gaming, or designing graphics.
