Coming July 26, 2005 to TechnoFeature: Eager to work your sales speil on anyone with a pulse? Don't assume prospects need your services or expertise before they indicate a genuine interest — or before you know their true needs. Otherwise, you end up making a self-promotional pitch, which, at best, leads to wasteful, premature selling and, at worst, kills the opportunity.  Let Susan Saltonsall Duncan show you the best way to secure a new client, and how to make the most of current professional relationships.

Last week, CNET News.com published an article by TechnoLawyer member Joe Fantuzzi entitled "Document Security? Tell Me Another Joke."

In the article, Joe frankly addresses the electronic document file format myth (that some formats are more secure than others), and explains what needs to happen to stop security leaks.

According to Joe, "the only way to stop the document security leaks is to protect documents independent of file format."  He emphasizes the importance of ensuring security from the inside, by using new technology and educating users about the various risks involved in electronically transmitting sensitive documents.

Joe warns, "business leaders must realize that while they won't necessarily make the headlines each time a document leaks sensitive data, they could lose a key partner, customer, or lawsuit — or worse, their public image."

Joe is currently CEO of Workshare, which provides document integrity software, and has more than 20 years of managerial experience in the technology market.

Inspired by her work as an elder and disabilities lawyer in Kansas, Ina Kay Zimmerman founded Daughters & Company, a service corporation to handle the supplemental needs of the elderly and disabled.

Daughters & Company provides a Staff Daughter who, "in situations where family members are unable to do so, offer personal services that support and enhance the daily life and maintain the lifestyle of a loved one."

As Ina Kay puts it, "It's really care management, but there is a different "flavor" to it when you think of it as having someone to bond with and who has eyes only for you."

Ina Kay has been in private practice in Kansas since 1983, working with a broad range of legal tools and techniques to meet the special needs and goals of her clients and their families.
