Gary Hankins, author of The Power of the Pitch: Transform Yourself into a Persuasive Presenter and Win 2da0 More Business is featured in two current articles, "10 Ways to Torpedo Your Sales Pitch" and "In Pictures: 10 Presentation Killers", on Forbes.com.

In the articles, Hankins discusses some of the biggest mistakes professionals make when delivering sales presentations. At the top of the list is failing to understand the needs that clients and prospects have. Hankins likens this to a cardiologist who performs an operation on a patient who has a broken arm. Says Hankins, “If you don’t address the pain, you won’t close the sale.” He points out that many sales professionals begin their pitches talking about their products or services – a huge error. Prospects want to know that you understand their interests before you give them the solution.

Madison Avenue Research Group has published a report which provides details on current and forward looking pricing of coal and coal related M&A activity, investment strategy, and Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Technology. The report also provides a case study on Cloudbreak Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: CDB) (Frankfurt: C6K) (US Listing: CUDBF) and the opportunity afforded investors as CDB.V has now received approval for coal drilling permits and prepares for a planned Q3 2009 drill program. CDB.V's Dowd Lake Coal Property is in the same Saskatchewan coal trend as Goldsource who experienced outstanding technical and market success in their coal exploration efforts within the last year. Each of Cloudbreak's planned diamond drill holes targets the near surface expression of the Cretaceous Mannville Formation which is the target stratigraphy of Goldsource's "Durango Trend".

The abridged report may be viewed free of charge at: http://madisonaveresearch.com/topcoal.htm online.

Excerpts from report:

1) Report on Coal: General consensus is that thermal coal prices have bottomed. Dwindling Chinese and Indian stocks, coupled with production cuts, could be offset with surplus U.S. stocks and the diversion of unloved PCI (pulverised coal injection) metallurgical coal into the thermal market. Prices have been affected by three interrelated factors; 1) shrinking demand for grid power, 2) weak global environment, 3) lower oil prices; coal often trades off the energy complex. It is important to keep an eye on the energy complex as higher oil prices and a clear bottoming in the coal indices signal an opportune time to establish strategic long positions in coal...

...The economic turndown appears to be been fully priced into the share prices of coal producers. Stocks seem to be discounting long-term coal prices far below current levels and make coal stocks in general ripe for accumulation. Triggers to watch for potentially higher share prices:

Ehrenberg, a 17-year Wall Street veteran, most recently served as the CEO of DB Advisors, LLC, the multi-billion dollar hedge fund subsidiary of Deutsche Bank AG.
