Write an article based on this "Do your research. Act responsibly. Bring up the subject at your next appointment with your eye doctor."
article: Look into how contact lenses work and decide how it could fit into your daily routine. Find online reviews of any contact brands to get an idea of any possible troubleshooting that could happen down the road. You should also familiarize yourself with common ailments associated with contact lenses, such as infections. This means doing all of your chores, diligently wearing your glasses if you have them, and finishing your homework without your parents nagging you. The key is to build trust between you and your parents because you are showing them that you can clean and maintain your contacts with no issues. Request to get your prescription updated and ask your doctor about contacts during the appointment. Your parents may want to hear a professional opinion, and your eye doctor can assess if your eyes are ready for contacts. Your doctor can also give you an idea of what kinds of contacts would be best for your eyes if you turn out to be a good candidate. Some contacts can be worn for up to a week without needing to be removed, while others only last for a day and need to be thrown away constantly.

Write an article based on this "Know the difference between the long position and the short position. Know the difference between the spot value and the forward value. Understand the relationship between the spot value and the forward value."
article: The party agreeing to purchase the commodity assumes the long position. The party agreeing to sell the commodity is assuming the short position.  The buyer, who is in the long position, is the person who stands to benefit if the price of the commodity rises higher than expected. The seller, who is in the short position, stands to lose if the price of the commodity rises. The spot value and the forward value are both quotes for the rate at which the commodity will be bought or sold. The difference between the two has to do with the timing of the settlement and delivery of the commodity. Both parties in a forward contract need to know both values in order to accurately account for the forward contract.  The spot rate is the current market value for the asset in question. It is the value of the commodity if it were sold today. For example, a farmer selling grain for the spot value agrees to sell it immediately for the current price.  The forward rate is the agreed-upon future price in the contract. For example, suppose the farmer in the above example wants to enter into a forward contract in an effort to hedge against falling grain prices. He can agree to sell his grain to another party in six months at agreed-upon forward rate. When the time comes to sell, the grain will be sold for the agreed-upon forward rate, despite fluctuations that occur in the spot rate during the intervening six months. The spot rate can be used to determine the forward rate. This is because a commodity’s future value is based in part on its current value. The other factor that is used to determine the forward value is the risk-free rate. The risk-free rate is the rate at which the commodity is expected to change in value with zero risk. It is usually based on the current interest rate of a three-month U.S. Treasury bill, which is considered the safest investment you can make.

Write an article based on this "Let the customer talk. Inquire about their overall goals. Ask about the future. Find out if they have any questions."
article:
The reason questions are a successful sales tactic is that they allow the customer to do most of the talking. This gives you a better idea of what their needs are and how you can sell your product to them. But this only works if you actually give your customer time to talk. In other words, don't drown them in product description and technical information. Instead, save this information for later, when you've identified the problem and already sold them on the fact that you can provide a solution. After all, if they just wanted information, odds are they could get it on your website. You need to figure out exactly what you could bring to your prospect and how what you bring can further their overall goals. You already have the first part from your discussions of the customer's problem. However, for the second part you will need an idea of what the customer wants to achieve overall. Try coming at this directly with something like, "What are you looking to accomplish in the next few years?" or "What is the primary long-term goal of your business?". From here, you can tailor the language and content of your product or service offering to how you can help them along the path to achieving their goals. You can also draw out customer desires by asking them to imagine the future of their business or life. You can either ask about how their life or business will be in the future or how they hope your business relationship will develop. For example, try asking, "Where do you see yourself/your company in five years? Ten years?" or, "How do you see your business developing if we go through with this deal?". You can gather even more information by asking other hypothetical questions like, "If you had no monetary constraints, what changes would you make?". Listen to these responses and think about the solutions you could provide. At regular intervals, especially if you are explaining something complex, stop to ask your customer if they have any questions. This not only keeps them engaged, but can keep you from having to go back and explain something you've already moved past. In any case, try to maintain an air of helpfulness and take the time to explain anything the customer doesn't understand, as well as to understand their concerns as deeply as possible. And when your customer is thinking about their answers or questions, wait patiently and quietly.
