Nowadays, even small, informal events or gatherings can benefit greatly and will turn out to be more successful if there is a presenter. A professional presenter can ensure the smooth flow of the event’s program or schedule of activities. A seasoned and talented emcee will also have the capability to turn a boring event into one that is more fun and interesting, one that all guests and participants will remember for all the right reasons.

The experiences and skills of a presenter will also help you greatly if you are still in the planning stages of a corporate event. Your hired presenter can share valuable inputs and advice on several key areas or elements, including time allocation for speakers and seating arrangements.

For your chosen emcee to be successful in his or her hosting duties, he or she needs to know some important details about your company and the event itself. As such, it is important that you share with him or her the key details below:

The schedule or timetable of the program.

The presenter should know exactly when things are supposed to start and stop. For example, the time when the first speaker is supposed to begin his or her presentation and when he or she will stop. One of the key duties of an emcee is to keep everything on schedule. Although the presenter may not be able to control the individual speakers, he or she will have to control all of the transitions and breaks. Your hired presenter will have to be very flexible in adjusting transitions and talking points to fill the appropriate amount of time.

Information about the speakers.

The presenter will introduce each of the speakers or guests at the event. As such, he or she should know who they are. Make sure the presenter knows all of the speakers’ names and how to pronounce them correctly. You should also provide him or her sufficient details about the background and qualifications or credentials of each speaker.

The content or topic each speaker will talk about.

Event presenters have the important job of handling the transition from one topic to another. To help the emcee share useful and relevant comments on the subject matter, make sure he or she knows some things about the content of each talk. You can ask the speakers for a summary or some notes about their presentation and give this to the presenter so that he or she can read it before the event. During the event itself, he or she will be more confident and will be able offer valuable comments or inputs.

The type of audience you will have for the event.

Lastly, it is important for the presenter to know the audience. For the presenter to effectively engage the audience, he or she needs to know who the people in the room are, what the age group is, what industry they come from, and what their roles or job titles and levels are.

The first thing you should know if you want to learn how to conjugate Spanish verbs in the present progressive tense is that you need two things, the verb estar (to be) for any pronoun in the present tense and the present participle of a verb. For verbs ending in -AR, the present participle is formed by dropping the ending and adding -ANDO. If the regular verb ends in -ER or -IR you add -IENDO. The present participle is the same for all pronouns. Only the verb estar is conjugated according to the pronoun. See example below.

yo estoy viajando – I am traveling
tú estás viajando – you are traveling
él/ella está viajando – he/she is traveling
usted está viajando – you are traveling (formal)
nosotros estamos viajando – we are traveling
ustedes están viajando – you are traveling (plural)
ellos/ellas están viajando – they are traveling (masculine or feminine)

Verbs ending in -IR that change the stem in present tense continue to change the stem for the present participle. Review the following:

1. Verbs changing the stem vowel from e to ie in present tense change the vowel to i for the present particle (ie → i ). Therefore preferir (to prefer) and sentir (to feel) become prefiriendo, and sintiendo respectively.

2. Verbs changing the stem vowel from e to i in present tense also change the vowel to i for the present particle (e → i ). Thus pedir (to ask for) and servir (to serve) become pidiendo and sirviendo respectively.

3. Verbs changing the stem vowel from o to ue in present tense change the vowel to u for the present particle (ue → u). Thus dormir (to sleep) and morir (to die) become durmiendo, and muriendo, respectively.

There are some irregular present participles for verbs such as caer (to fall), creer (to believe), leer (to read), proveer (to provide), and traer (to bring). The present participle ending for these verbs is -YENDO. Their present participles are cayendo, creyendo, leyendo, proveyendo, and trayendo, respectively.

If you are using the Verbarrator Spanish Verb conjugation software to learn this verb tense (and I do recommend that you use the Verbarrator for learning how to conjugate this and other Spanish verb tenses), instead of the “present progressive verb tense,” the Verbarator calls this tense is “estar PLUS gerund.”

Now you know how to conjugate Spanish verbs in the present progressive tense. Be sure to practice daily so that conjugating Spanish verbs becomes easier for you.

When you are in conducting a credit card debt negotiation, its important to know that you are negotiating for a position of strength. The Credit card companies don’t want you to default. They make their money by receiving consistent payments from you. Payments that can go on for years and years.

You are the one in control. You have something that they want to get from you, your payment. If your polite, professional and firm, you will get what you want.

This is a serious situation. They do have the ability to instigate legal action. This is unlikely on smaller balances, but is always a possibility. I have seen balances as high as 15,000 dollars end up being charged off without legal action. I have also seen balances as low as $500 go to court after just a few calls. But even court action is a fairly slow process, and you have time to react and negotiate the debt before the court date.

First, you need to make sure that you communicate by mail. Don’t give the collector a “no way out” situation by telling them to never contact you again. You have them backed them into a corner where they have little recourse but legal action. Credit card debt negotiation involves a level of compromise.

Instead, tell them they can contact you only by mail. And that they can never contact you at work. You will need to draft a letter to this effect and send it to them by registered mail, return receipt. In fact, all future communication with the collector will be by registered mail. And you always want to make sure you have a file of the delivery receipts and a copy of the letter available so that they can’t dispute that it was mailed, and that they received it.

The problem with phone calls is that when you are involved in credit card debt negotiation, you need to have verification. If it wasn’t written, it wasn’t done because you have no way to prove it if you end up in court.

Begin your credit card debt negotiation at 20-25% of the original debt amount. The collection agency may have added on fees and charges that you should not include in the settlement amount. These fees just amount to the collection agency trying to make more money, and have nothing to do with the debt to be settled.

Since on the “secondary market” debt is traded at literally a few cents on the dollar, the collection agency is making plenty of money, even if they end up settling at 30 or 40% of the original debt.

Don’t sound to eager to settle. Be calm and collected. Don’t get angry, don’t show hesitation. One thing I really want to add is NEVER let them know that you have some specific reason for settling the debt. Many people make an effort to settle before applying for a home loan for instance. This information is none of the collectors business. If they find out that the reason you want to settle is so that you can buy a house, you will never get a settlement.

So, in review.

1. Never talk to a collector on the phone. Always use registered mail with a return delivery receipt.

2. Start your negotiation at 20 – 25% of the original loan amount.

3. Don’t include the collection agencies add on fees as a part of your credit card debt negotiation.

4. Be calm, educate yourself to the process so that you can speak from a position of knowledge.

Just be patient. And make a good deal. Soon, this will all be behind you. Your credit card debt negotiation means you can get on with your life.
