The recession has been difficult for most people; however, there are some people who have thrived during the recession. These are the people who have decided to start recession-based businesses. One such group of thriving entrepreneurs right now are debt collectors.
Collections is a great business to be in during most times of the year but even better during the recession. Most collectors charge a 30% commission on what they collect so the opportunity for profit is enormous.
You can run an all-purpose debt collections business or one just specializing in a particular kind of debt. For example, you could collect credit card debt, in particular, or mortgage foreclosure debt. So how do you get involved in this type of industry?
After business start up, the best companies to solicit are small businesses. Big corporations and even midsize companies typically have their own debt collections specialists but small businesses do not.
You need to google small businesses in your region and call the small business owners to set up an appointment. At the appointment, bring a professional brochure, talk about your services, and ask the question: "Do you have any delinquent debt that you need for my debt collection service to collect right now?" The owner can either say yes or no so it puts them on the spBadminton rackets have come a long way since the wooden and metal versions a couple of decades ago. Today's rackets are lightweight, durable and much stronger. Technology has come a long way in a short space of time, and all racquet sports have benefited. Nano technology has seen probably the biggest breakthrough, and now we see carbon, titanium and other exotic materials contained in the head and shaft.These materials add stability, rigidity and power without increasing the weight.
Aerodynamic frames decrease air resistance and enable players to swing the badminton racket faster through the air, gaining much quicker racket head speed. The flexibility and balance can be changed from one model to another to suit most types of player. All the manufacturers have their own secret way of creating the ultimate racket, and the race is constantly on to come up with ever more innovative creations.Yonex are usually at the forefront of technological advances. Their research and development teams employ the brightest minds to develop the next generation of useable rackets. Today's game is all about speed and power, but probably the most important factor is control. Power is not much use without control, and all players seek the right combination of power and added control.
To feed this desire, the manufacturers produce stiffer and stiffer frames. This stiffness creates the control but it can reduce power, it all depends on how much the player can make the shaft flex on impact. String technology has also helped to add an extra dimension to the modern badminton game. High string tension is also associated with added control because the strings will not flex or move on impact. This creates a more solid hitting base, and wen added to the stiff shaft the whole package of control is complete.
The extra strength that the modern materials give has allowed for much higher string tension. Before, the racket head would distort or fracture as the tension increased. Simply put, the racket could not take the tension. Nowadays it is common for tensions to be well over 30lbs, even up to 40lbs. The risk of string breakage is vastly increased, and so is the risk of injury.
Stiff rackets and high tension is a very unforgiving combination for shoulders and joints, but some people are willing to take this risk for the sake of control. The vibration through the arm is what causes most damage over the long term. Many players are now feeling the effects of this in later life, and ways to stop this vibration, or at least reduce it are now being sought.
There appears to be no signs of technology slowing down, it is increasing every year. The badminton rackets of tommorow will serve up even more power, it is just a question of players being able to keep up with technology, and use it to their advantage. By this i mean using the most suitable racket for your skill level. Anything else can cause your level to drop, and worse still, cause injuries.ot.
