KNOW WHO YOU'RE HIRING! 
      The Employee Management System is the highly-accurate 
"personality management" program that can save you a fortune in 
employment costs.  
      REDUCE  EMPLOYEE  TURNOVER.     Employee turnover is extremely 
expensive.  It reduces production and increases internal friction.  It 
increases training and operational costs.  EMS actually helps you 
control and reduce employee turnover.  It is so effective that many 
businesses report a turnover reduction of 50% or more! 
      HIRE THE RIGHT PEOPLE.  Every job has its own "ideal 
personality".  Would you place a quiet, thoughtful person out in the 
sales field, or does that job require a self-motivated go-getter?  EMS 
evaluates the work personality  requirements of any job.  Then it will 
instantly tell you which of your applicants matches that job. 
      KNOW THE WORK PERSONALITY of the applicant in a matter of 
minutes.  Discover the positive work traits, decision making methods, 
stamina level, management methods and performance characteristics of 
any employee/ applicant in less than five minutes. 
      KNOW WHAT MOTIVATES YOUR EMPLOYEES.  EMS tells the motivational  
and  demotivational  factors for each employee.  This will help you 
know how to motivate an employee, to make that employee happy, and 
also how to avoid demotivating that person. 
      REDUCE ADVERTISING & INTERVIEWING COSTS.     EMS keeps track of 
all employees and job applicants so that when a position opens, 
applicants can be matched to the job immediately, without having to 
repeat the expensive hiring process. 
      The Employee Management System is an accurate and amazing answer 
to the task of hiring employees and then keeping them happy once they 
are hired.      (R:95)

EMPLOYEE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM  5 
The Next Step in Personality Management 
   EMS5 is our incredible next generation management program.  It 
includes everything featured in our basic EMS package, plus adds the 
following features: 
   STRESS EVALUATION SYSTEM.  Stress can be very detrimental to your 
business.  Excessive stress in employees causes irritation, loss of 
production, and eventually loss of that employee.  EMS5 shows you key 
areas of potentially harmful stress so that you can help your employee 
overcome that stress before it becomes a business liability. 
   PERSONNEL DATABASE SYSTEM lets you track important employee/ 
applicant information.  Define your own information requirements and 
design reports according to your needs.  Keep records of any employee 
information you want:  vacation and sick leave, work experience, 
personal and family information, job skills, and much more.  PDS ties 
in to the Personality Evaluation Program to provide you with extensive 
reference capabilities.  Do you want to locate all applicants in your 
files that live within your city limits, are age 18-34 and have 
outgoing personalities?  With PDS you can do this and much more. 
   TEAM EVALUATION SYSTEM.  Manage your work groups.     Increase your 
management ability.  Knowing and understanding the basic work 
personality of your employees is a tremendous advantage.  But knowing 
how they will get along with close work associates, especially when 
teamed together on a project, is even more advantageous. 
   The TEAM system helps you understand how members of a group will 
function for the duration of a project.  Will they get along well 
together?  Are they compatible in work habits?  Who should be assigned 
which tasks?  These questions and many others can be answered by using 
this powerful yet easy-to-implement program. 
   How will the team "leader" function in this position?  What will be 
the leadership style?  Help the work group leader to better understand 
and motivate the members of the team.  Equally important,  this 
program will warn you of potential pitfalls and incompatibilities and 
help you turn potential liabilities into assets. 
   How will the members of the team function with one another?  EMS 5 
can help them learn how to better cooperate and will help you avoid 
those dangerous "personality conflicts."                           
   EMS 5 can help you in several areas: 
   *  Reduce employee turnover 
   *  Improve production and increase job satisfaction 
   *  Enhance company communications 
   *  Hire the right people for the job 
   *  Reduce interview time and manpower waste 
   *  Locate key areas of stress before they become a job liability 
   *  Keep track of employee information 
   *  Prepare "help wanted" ads for maximum benefit 
   *  Evaluate work teams, understand compatability and 
incompatability factors 
   *  Understand how to motivate your employees and avoid demotivation 

   EMS5 is the answer for today's employment challenges.     (R:495)

PERSONALITY ANALYSIS SYSTEM 
   PAS is our highly-accurate program that is designed to help the 
individual better understand his own personality and those of friends, 
acquaintances and loved ones. PAS encourages open communication 
between adults and teens, helping to bridge the "generation gap".    
It is valuable as a personal communications tool between friends, 
marriage mates, business acquaintances and any other relationship 
where personality is a strong influencing factor.  PAS also offers a 
"job match" system which will help  you to determine the correct job 
for your personality.  
   PAS is the personal/family version of our popular EMS program  It 
works in several ways: 
   PAS IS ACCURATE.  The accuracy will astound you.  
   IMPROVE YOURSELF.  PAS helps you know yourself by describing your 
strengths, motivational factors and demotivational factors.  You can 
use your strengths and build them to your advantage. 
   JOB MATCH helps you to determine whether or not a job fits in with 
your basic personality.  Is the environment one that will encourage 
you to work and motivate you to produce your best?  Will it allow you 
to use your personal skills to the utmost?   (R:95)

DON'T SHOOT YOUR COMPUTER! 
   The 7-Day Computer Learning Course is the easiest computer course 
ever designed.  If your computer is confusing to you, this is probably 
because no one ever explained DOS, the Disk Operating System.  DOS is 
the heart of your computer.  Trying to use a computer without 
knowledge of DOS is like trying to build a house without a foundation.  
7-Day teaches you how to use DOS in easy-to-understand, non-technical 
language (we speak English).  This wonderful course will have you 
understanding your computer in one week (or less) by way of its hands-
on approach.   (R:25)

inventory system.  You can perform both separately or combined (ie 
stand-alone or integrated).     ACR allows you to keep real-time track 
of inventory, write sales tickets, keep track of client information, 
sales tax and produce terrific reports.  If used as a front-counter 
ticket system, it allows the use of a cash drawer and light-pens/bar 
code readers.  It is ideal for the businessman who has wanted a sales 
ticket / inventory system, but has been put off by the complexity and 
high prices of other packages.  ACR can be interfaced with our AMAZING 
BOOKKEEPER package for a fully-functional system.            (R:95)

How TRY-THEN-BUY works: 

  SHAREWARE  is a term which refers to a method of marketing.  
Operational copies of the programs are made available for a small 
duplication charge.  You are allowed to try out the program for a 
short period of time (usually 10-30 days).  If you decide to continue 
using the program, you send us the listed registration fee.  If not, 
you discontinue use of the program and pass it on to a friend.  
Registration always brings you extras like a printed manual, the 
newest version of the program (which often contains additional 
programs and features), free telephone support and the legal right to 
use the program.  Shareware is a wonderful way for you to examine our 
software before buying it, which is a good deal for both of us.  It 
means that when you do buy our product you're already satisfied. 
   That's the way we like to do business.
