The Incentive Offer: A Short Story

There were large fig trees, shrubs, and scuppernong vines on either side of the home. A group of

It had 4 full bedrooms and 4 full baths. There was a second floor along with one of the biggest basements I have ever seen. This was a kid’s dream because I could do just about anything I could imagine in that house. Now there was a plus to all of this going on and me being so young. I saw what was going on, but I did not fully understand what was happening.

The house is different from other houses in the sense that, it didn’t allude to a real house. The house is an image of many ideas

On August 06, 2006, via telephone, Partner-D made the initial call to Partner-W as suggested by Goodfriend. Partner-W introduced herself as a licensed mortgage broker, working for Company-C, and that she was successful at finding affordable housing without the use of a real estate agent. Party-W was certain there were plenty of people to rent out any property obtained; that buying in the area required minimum down; a profit would occur within a year and the house would pay for itself. During this event, PartnerW was using interest-based persuasion (Shell et al., 2007) while at the same time, used the power to educate (Ury, 2007). Partner-W started out by identifying Partner-D’s interest and/or purpose for buying property, which was clearly defined (Fisher et al., 1991). And it was further determined, by the use of integrative bargaining, it would be a win-win situation and would create a shared goal for mutual gain (Fisher et al., 1991). Partner-D would be gaining extra income; and Partner-W would gain commission for the sell of the property. Partner-D went to the balcony to think about the information provided (Ury, 2007). Overall, the idea seemed like a good idea and Partner-D felt she was in good hands

She gestures us inside and I could cringe at the aroma alone. The smell of channelle makes me think someone dropped a whole bottle. Other than that, though, the view, at first sight, reminds me of my grandparents. My grandma would bake the cookies and while my grandpa would munch on them, she would put everything back where it belongs and makes sure everything is left neat. The mahogany table is perfect for two people, maybe four and the kitchen space is just the right size for my cooking needs. A maple red door frame leads to the living room and the antique upright piano the color of amber is the first insight. Every one of the eighty-eight keys and its leather padded bench contributes to its value.

There was a relaxing feeling coming from the room. The colors were pretty mellow such as the cream-colored walls. Although the room gave off this aura, there was a very elegant tea set in the middle of the room. The wall contained a fireplace while the corner of the room contained a combination of both a bookshelf and a desk. The desk had a pair of golden glasses that belonged to one of the men who lived in the home (I can’t recall exactly who they belonged to). Aside from these things, the room also contained what looked like a very comfortable couch. The guide stated that all of the pieces in the house aside from one fireplace and most of the replicated sales pieces in the General Store.

It was difficult to read painting acquisition numbers, exact demensions, etc, since the rooms were gated off, or there was no description of some pieces or for what was painted on the walls and ceilings. I focused the portrait of Salem Towne in the dining room.

The dining room has a table that seats six, and a tall cabinet containing dried and canned foods. The kitchen has a refrigerator, a dishwasher, microwave, and lots of counter, and cabinet space. Out of the kitchen is the main hallway which is tiled. Leading up the stairs to a full size bathroom and two bedrooms on the right on the left is the master bedroom and bath. The hallway bathroom is decorated in soft beige and red colors with simple wall hangings. The bedroom on the left is the bedroom of CED, the 5 year old daughter, and the bedroom on the right is the bedroom of LRD, the 3 year old son. Back down the stairs is the lower level. When you first go downstairs you see and big open family room that has a couch and two lazy boy recliners. The downstairs is all carpeted. To the immediate right is a second full bathroom and next to that is the master bedroom. Opposite the master bedroom is the fourth bedroom which was converted to a toy room for the children. The downstairs is where the family spends most of their time. There is a big screen television and there is a game station connected to the television. BAD has taken the time to child proof their home using child safety locks on all cabinets, and electrical outlet covers. The children have a lot of toys, and it seems they do not have a lot of storage, yet their home is kept very tidy.

The agent provided several images and a text into the listing. It had the Incentive Offer available noting that Fannie Mae was offer an incentive for selling agents whose buyers purchased and closed on a selected HomePath property.

Although, short-term or outcome based financial incentives may be profitable to some, they may not be an effective approach always. For example, some individuals in desire to receive a large amount of incentive to reach the specific health outcome such as weight loss, he/she might choose to starve to reach the target, followed by potential adverse effects later. On the other hand, many individuals fail to maintain healthy behaviors after attaining the health outcomes and on receiving the incentives. Furthermore, Incentives tied exclusively to health outcomes may discriminate those who are in utmost need of health improvement such as the elderly and socioeconomically backward individuals, as outcome-based incentives may unintentionally overcompensate

It had white aluminum siding with black trim around the windows and black shingles on the roof. I walked the three wooden steps leading to a six by six storm shed. I removed my boots in the shed and opened the oak door, painted white on the outside. It led into a short hallway, which formed a T with the kitchen on one side and the dining room on the other.

Over the last 77 years, Morgan Stanley has been at the forefront of the financial industry. This is from the firm focusing on creating customizable investment products that are sold to retail and institutional clients. ("Company History," 2012) However, a problem is that many competitors are entering a period of flat growth that is at the top of S Curve. This is when a company will grow so big that it becomes difficult to continue increasing profit margins. (Nunes, 2011, pp. 1 5) In the case of Morgan Stanley, the recent financial crisis has made it more difficult for the firm to improve earnings. As a result, a new strategy must be developed that will motivate the sales force to do more. To determine the most effective approach requires examining six features of a total rewards program, the specific behaviors that will be targeted, assessing the value proposition and how to attract registered representatives.

There were fruit trees and big back yard and front yard too. We were excited to move into it.

“Okay to start off, I didn’t get to go to the Incentive.” I responded to my brother. To explain only kids go with no missing assignment, F’s, D’s, lunch bunch, ISS, or OSS. “A small amount of kids didn’t get to go to this party and I was one of those kids.” I replied to my brother with a little bit of minor anger. “Though it wasn’t all that bad.” I sounded doubtful but it was the truth. “Well better luck next time for the end of the year Incentive, I’ll see you later bye Collin.” He sounded cheerful for something, but I didn’t care “Bye Aiden.” As he shut the front door. So you probably want to hear my story so let’s continue onwards shall we?
