I am Damiano Shehu, an Albanian student from Tirana on the Associate Degree Program at the Hubbard College of Administration (HCA), Los Angeles, CA.  I recently finished the Marketing and Public Relations Surveys Apprenticeship.

I had a great time during this apprenticeship. I learned that surveys are not only fun but very useful for a business too. By applying the data I learned on the Marketing and Public Relations Surveys Course, I was able to get a great result. I got the buttons, which are the answers that were given the most number of times to each survey question. In addition, I was able to determine the positioning, which is the placement of the product in somebody’s life or mind and in relation to other products, based on the buttons.

When you survey people you get various types of responses. What conventional survey takers usually look for is a yes or no type of question. These types of questions do not bring about an emotional response. It is extremely crucial to be able to get an emotional response.  Once you have an emotional response from your survey question, you can use that answer in your promotion.

I think that this apprenticeship was great, and I would suggest it for anyone that works in promotion and marketing.

I am Hiro Suganuma, a Japanese student from Yokohama on the Associate Degree Program at the Hubbard College of Administration (HCA), Los Angeles, CA.  I did my Marketing Apprenticeship at Fresh Aire Duct Cleaning.

This was a fun apprenticeship that I enjoyed so much. I learned a lot about the subject of marketing. Now, I can promote and sell anything to the WORLD!!

First, I needed to know about the product very well in order to sell it or promote it. If I didnít know the product very well I couldn’t make any promo piece for it. I couldn’t let other people know about it, I couldn’t sell it and before I started this apprenticeship, I wasn’t aware of the air duct cleaning industry at all. I needed to learn about it from the beginning, and it was very interesting.

I went to an actual job site and observed the air duct cleaning service. I even went up to the attic with one of the employees and took some pictures of the employee cleaning the main air duct system using his tools. Now I know the air duct cleaning procedure very well. Marketing wise, it was such a valuable experience for me.

Through this apprenticeship, I realized something very useful. With the Administrative Technology I learned in the Marketing Course, I can promote anything and everything I want! I can get the result very easily without having any problems. I can create want for any kind of product from any public! The Administrative Technology is very simple and amazing.

I did a survey of the company’s public to determine the basis of my marketing efforts. I designed a promo piece based on the survey result. The owner of the company liked it very much. She printed 10,000 copies of it for the company promo campaign. One of the sales ladies started using my survey result as part of her sales presentation over the phone. After a week, she had achieved the highest ever statistics for weekly sales! 

I really enjoyed this apprenticeship. Although I was an apprentice, it was very heartening to see the humongous effect I created in the business, using my newly attained marketing abilities. This experience increased my confidence concerning my knowledge. If one looks at the world, one sees a lot of misunderstood technology (for example, inept promo pieces and PR campaigns). Iím sure that my products are more effective than some marketing companies. I will continue to improve my skills in the years to come!

I completed Policy course and I realized that no matter how small an activity is, there must be a BASIC PURPOSE. You keep your BASIC PURPOSE and you are moving toward your GOAL. Because the BASIC PURPOSE is also somewhere you are trying to achieve.  I can say that someone works with BASIC PURPOSE and make sure he always goes with it, then he must see the result – the whole activity will flourish and go into affluence.

So, how to make the above happen? There must be something that can help. It’s policy! Policy is a rule or procedure or guidance which permits the BASIC PURPOSE to succeed.

Some business fail, maybe the only reason is that nobody in the office follows the policy or they don’t even know they have policy or even they donít have any policy. Then, when they have any situation, no matter how small it is, they just have no clue of handling it and they wind up with a collapsed company.

I believe nobody want to reach failure and everyone wants to win. Now you have technique – Policy. Apply it and forward your BASIC PURPOSE. Now you know your ideal scene is waiting for you and your life will be successful.

I’m sure that my products are more effective than some current successful marketing companies and will continue to improve my skills in the years to come!

I had a good time working with Fabian. I’d met him before and he was always a cool guy so I was thrilled to work with him on this “Handling the Ups and Downs in Life” Apprenticeship.  I’m glad that I could help him realize a few things about his situation that he hadn’t realized previously. He said he was having wins throughout reading the material; that was really cool to be a part of.

From the subject:

Toby was great and professional. His knowledge of the material was excellent. The success I had was on the ARC Triangle (A= affinity, R= reality or agreement, C= communication). Although I had gone over this ARC Triangle thousands of times, I learned something new about intention and how if the person you are trying to handle has no intention of hearing you or listening to your advice it can create an upset.

Doing the “How to Evaluate and Predict Human Behavior” course was so much fun. I had a huge win from the course! As the title of the course indicates, it taught me so much about how I can handle problems about personal relationships and how I can get along with the whole environment and raise the emotional tone of any group wherever I am. I felt more and more confident talking to people as I got more knowledge from this course.

The “How to Evaluate and Predict Human Behavior” course is actually an extension of the “How to Get Along with Others” course; they are based on the same concept. The key concept is that having high affinity, the same reality, and being in good communication leads to survival and new level of understanding.

I have always been very interested in studying human behavior. In fact, I’m very happy that I fulfilled that desire by actually studying it. As a result, I have the ability to spot others’ emotional tone and can handle personal issues without difficulty! Last, but not least, I feel I understand this “magic tool” the Emotional Tone Scale. The scale can help me determine whom I should hire as an employee in my future business. And right now, I can use it to determine the emotional tone in my vicinity when it drops down and have the tool to bring it up again!

For centuries, people have been talking about how to evaluate and predict human behavior. Fortunately, I just completed a course “How to Evaluate and Predict Human Behavior” that gave me some fundamental tools to accomplish that long-sought aspiration. The primary tool is called the Tone Scale, which is a scale indicating the different levels of emotion.  According to the Hubbard Chart of Human Evaluation Tone Scale, each tone has a predictable corresponding range of behavioral characteristics.  Therefore, once we can spot a person’s emotional tone, then we can infer the kind of person with whom we are interacting.

When we know the emotional tone, we can answer questions like “Is he someone who works hard? Is he ethical? Does he handle responsibility well?” Thus, we know whom to choose to hire or even to be our friend. Also knowing the emotional tone, we know how to build agreements with others because each tone level has its own standards for building agreement, communicating, increasing affinity, etc.

So, collectively, this course provided me with tools that I can use in my personal life, on my job, etc. So, I recommend that you learn these tools and you’ll be ready to go!

What if a president had the technology of planning? These days, it seems like presidents are just skilled spokesmen that articulate dreams. If they only knew the correct way to make those aspirations realities, then they could make a difference in the world. Planet Earth is full of dreams and ambitions that, if materialized, would create a prosperous world community.

On this course “How to Make Planning Become an Actuality,” I learned the management tools of how to transform plans (dreams) into reality. Now I can actually start with my dreams and, using the Hubbard Technology of Planning, make them!

In summary, all companies, organizations or individuals plan; however, they commonly face insurmountable problem(s) of execution. Now, a technology exists that definitely works to bridge the gap between conception and actuality. Imagine a president with these planning tools; wouldn’t you want to live in that land where dreams become actuality?

By Ray Li, a Taiwanese student from Taichung on the Associate Degree Program at the Hubbard College of Administration (HCA), Los Angeles, CA.

“Executive Basics” is a very good and vital course. An executive should know his responsibilities, what he needs to do with his staff, the valuable final product of his area of responsibility, and of course how to get it. When an executive can really do his job, the organization that he works for can be prosperous and expansive. When this doesn’t occur, then the company loses its competitive advantage, for example, General Motors Corporation.

In conclusion, there are many vital tools for an executive in this course.

The “Executive Basics” course was very helpful. Although I got a lot from this course, it was funny because at times the data just seemed like common sense at the same time, it was previously unstated vital information. It’s amazing that someone like L. Ron Hubbard took the time to perceive, articulate and publish all these tools for the world to utilize. I can’t wait to apply this information in my father’s company and to share with him whatever he may not know about it. I see the future as being very bright.
