Only one (1) license per city. With your license you'd be able to offer the K+ Steno-course http://www.k-x-4u.com/$20.htm anywhere in your city. Participants will get the K+ Steno-game http://www.k-x-4u.com/steno-game.htm and the K+ eWriting Web-kit http://www.k-x-4u.com/eWriting.htm for FREE! The license can be shared by up to four (4) individuals. Ideally, everyone should come to make sure no one does NOT have any unanswered questions regarding the giving of the course. Because they will be the only ones *authorized* by the license to give it, it is in their best interest to ensure that they can deliver the best course possible in order to be able to get *referrals* that will generate more business. Besides, the training is FREE. Please note that if an *unauthorized* person (a non- license-holder) gives the course, the *entire* license *will* be revoked and given to someone else. The Materials =========== 1. The K+ eWriting Web-kit The is no cost for the K+ eWriting Web-kit which is sent via e-mail. 2. The K+ Steno-game The K+ Steno-game material consists of nine (9) pages (the Introduction Sheet, the Instruction Sheet, the List of Example-words, and the 6-page Game Sheet) for each of the six (6) players. That's a total of (6 x 9) 54 sheets of paper that will be put into a brown manila envelope. That should cost about $6 to produce. The game in electronic form will be sent via e-mail to the license holder. 3. The K+ Steno-course-notes They are divided into two (2) parts: long-format and short-format speedwriting. Long-format: 29 stenographs ======================= Long-fomat is divided into stenographs representing vowels and stenographs representing single consonants. The stenographs representing vowels are composed of six (6) stenographs: two (2) punctuation marks (a comma and an apostrophe), two (2) regualar letter (the e-letter and a dot-less i-letter), two (2) unique stenographs (a dot and a small backward slash below the line). And the stenographs representing single consonants are composed of 23 stenographs: 16 using regular alphabet letters and seven (7) using unique stenographs [a top-down diagonal line, a bottom-up diagonal line, a short line used in three (3) different ways, and a long line]. Short-format: 44 stenographs ======================= Short format uses stenographs that represent more than one sound or combine two (2) stenographs. It uses 44 stenographs: 39 using regular letters (of which 12 are disjointed) and five (5) which are unique ( a concave line, a convex line, a convex line with a c-letter at the end, and a short veritcal line.) Speed ===== Greater transcription speed can be achieved by writing words together without spaces between them when there is no disjointed stenographs and by using as few stenographs as possible - just enough to get the sound outline of the word or sentence. Punctuation ========= The only thing that is different is that there is no dot under the question mark, a paragraph ends with a double forward slash instead of a period, and a comma can be either be written with an inverted v-letter on top of it or encircled so NOT to be confused with the steno- graph represented by the comma that represents the long o-sound. Steno-pad ======== A steno-pad is divided into two (2) columns. Transcription begins in the first column to the left and then once at the bottom of the first column continues by going to the top of the second column to the right. Incidentally, the fountain pen is still the preferred instrument of choice for transcribing. Once a transcribed column is typed, a diagonal line starting at the bottom left-hand corner is drawn up to the right-hand top corner of the column. Pricing ===== Ideally, pricing should be both VARIABLE and AFFORDABLE depending on how many intend to take the course, on the cost of rental facilities, on whether it's being offered in a school, college, universiy, or at a business. For any K+ Steno-course organized by the licensee to which the K+ owner is invited to give, the profits will be shared with the licensee. 10 *KEY* SELLING POINTS ======================= Point 1 Because this speedwriting uses the regular letters of the alphabet apart from a few punctuation marks and lines (diagonal, concave, convex, short vertical, and straight long and short line), it's very easy to learn. Point 2 It can be learned in about two (2) hours. Point 3 The whole family can benefit - especially if the chidren are in Grade six (6) or higher. Point 4 Those who take the course can get 40% off the regular price off the K+ Steno-kit http://www.k-x-4u.com/Steno-kit.htm#down_below. Point 5 The K+ Steno-course can be added to their resume. Point 6 Instead of lugging a laptop around that might get damaged or stolen, they just take their a steno-pad and walk *confidently* into that class or meeting. Point 7 They'll enjoy THE COOL FACTOR that will set them apart from the pack that's says, " I'm SMART". Point 8 Rather than being in a panic when taking note, they can relax and take their time to listen to what is being said while knowing they'll be able to write it all down. Point 9 Later, when typing their notes at their convenience, they can review and edit them for clarity. Point 10 Speedwriting is very handy when taking notes at a meeting or when doing research at a library or when jotting things down while on the phone. Sales Survey ========== Prior to getting the licence it's strongly suggested to ask 30 to 100 people the following questions to find out how to market the course. The following survey will generate EXCELLENT SALES LEADS. ~~~~~Start of Survey~~~~~ Hi! May I ask you a question regarding speedwriting? Would you be interested in taking an easy-to-learn 1.5 hour speedwriting course that uses the regular letters of the alphabet? It comes with the K+ eWriting Web-kit and the K+ Steno-game for FREE. ==> No. Say: "That's fine. Thanks for your time." OR ==> Yes. Say: "May I ask you a few *quick* questions?" What is your profession? ______________________________________ What part of the city are you from? _______________________________________ May I have your age? __________ (Note: some people may NOT want to give out the information to the above questions. Just respond by saying: "I understand. That's fine.") Would you want to take the course in the morning, afternoon, or evening? (Put a check mark on either morning, afternoon, or evening.) On a weekday or on the weekend? (Put a check mark on weekday or weekend.) Which day - preferably? __________________ At what time? _____ a.m./p.m. (Put a check mark on either a.m. or p.m.) How much would you be willing to pay for the course? $ __________ Where would you like to take it? 1st choice: ___________________________ 2nd choice: __________________________ I'll give you a 30% discount off this NEW speedwriting course if I can get your *first* name, phone # and e-mail address - if you have one. Your *first* name is : __________________ . Your telephone # is : _________________ . Your e-mail address: _________________ . (Note: some people do NOT give out their e-mail address for fear of getting spam.) THANKS for your time. Have a GREAT DAY! ~~~~~End of Survey~~~~~ This survey is an excellent way to generate good sales leads, It's a good idea to do it - periodically - in different parts of the city.

Some of the major tourist sites are within a 20 minutes walking distance. K+ Steno-course-license Fee: $1200 ============================== The license fee is $1200 and is non-refundable. It is also paid when the license is renewed annually. (Note: the license will be renewed only if the K+ Steno-course has been offered in the city and no place else.) The fee can be paid either by certified cheque or by postal money order made out to Kenneth Selin and sent to 704-125 Stewart St., Ottawa, Canada K1N 6J3.
