How Tip Traders Benefit

The gems of peer-to-peer advice contributed as tips are made available to leaders throughout the world via e-mail, RSS syndication, and at www.BrainFoodToGo.com. It’s uniquely valuable know-how because it has been flavored by the experiences, challenges, successes, and failures of folks who’ve “been there; done that.”

Many organizations employ TipLists so that ambitious workers can initiate requests for assistance in list- from others in their enterprise. Such a list-motivated project can provide aspiring leaders with opportunities to meet more seasoned moguls in higher echelons of the company. It’s a great way to connect with a mentor! In turn, Established leaders also get opportunities to meet with and evaluate talent within their realm. 

By using tips lists as a premise to gain access, students can connect with accomplished professionals in the “real world.” List projects can provide a reason to arrange one-on-one interviews with experienced leaders to get their feedback on list topics. In the process, students can make important contacts in the job market. Students can even insert links in their resumes to their list creations that are posted on the web. Lists can also be a big help in writing a term paper or completing a research assignment. While students can plaster their faces in “FaceBook,” lists can help them show off their brains where it really counts!

Members of campus professional organizations and fraternities can compile Brass Tacks eBooks and Brass Tacks eBriefs^TM that include their work product as well as contributions of alumni and other business leaders whose inputs they recruit. These books can be branded and marketed to alumni and the general business community. It is a great way of generating “town and gown” interaction and generating organization revenue.

Teachers can tap the TipMarket for instructional materials they can use in classroom and distance learning courses. In addition, lists provide valuable content for made-to-order – inexpensive – textbooks or student reference materials. List project assignments can also provide a great alternative to the dreaded term paper. Further, list-making assignments can provide a platform for all-important collaborative learning that allows students to search, select, and synthesize facts, and convert disparate information into worthwhile knowledge.

Lists provide an exciting way to continually engage alumni and establish all-important connections between them and members of the student body and faculty. For alumni, a stream of continually updated Brass Tacks TipLists provides a unique form of continuing education that will serve as a “lifetime warranty” on their sheepskins. In addition, schools can supplement their libraries’ resources with contemporary archives of BrainFood – at no cost!
