The K+ Steno-course-license: $1200
K+
be able to offer the K+ Steno-course http://www.k-x-4u.com/$20.htm
anywhere in your city.
Participants will get the K+ Steno-game
http://www.k-x-4u.com/steno-game.htm
and the K+ eWriting Web-kit http://www.k-x-4u.com/eWriting.htm for
FREE!
The license can be shared by up to four (4) individuals.
Ideally, everyone should come to make sure no one
does NOT have any unanswered questions regarding
the giving of the course. Because they will be the only
ones *authorized* by the license to give it, it is in their
best interest to ensure that they can deliver the best
course possible in order to be able to get *referrals*
that will generate more business.
Besides, the training is FREE.
Please note that if an *unauthorized* person (a non-
license-holder) gives the course, the *entire* license
*will* be revoked and given to someone else.
The Materials
===========
1. The K+ eWriting Web-kit
The is no cost for the K+ eWriting Web-kit which is sent
via e-mail.
2. The K+ Steno-game
The K+ Steno-game material consists of nine (9) pages
(the Introduction Sheet, the Instruction Sheet, the List
of Example-words, and the 6-page Game Sheet) for each
of the six (6) players. That's a total of (6 x 9) 54 sheets of
paper that will be put into a brown manila envelope. That
should cost about $6 to produce. The game in electronic
form will be sent via e-mail to the license holder.
3. The K+ Steno-course-notes
They are divided into two (2) parts: long-format and
short-format speedwriting.
Long-format: 29 stenographs
=======================
Long-fomat is divided into stenographs representing vowels
and stenographs representing single consonants.
The stenographs representing vowels are composed of
six (6) stenographs: two (2) punctuation marks (a comma
and an apostrophe), two (2) regualar letter (the e-letter
and a dot-less i-letter), two (2) unique stenographs (a dot
and a small backward slash below the line).
And the stenographs representing single consonants
are composed of 23 stenographs: 16 using regular
alphabet letters and seven (7) using unique stenographs
[a top-down diagonal line, a bottom-up diagonal line, a
short line used in three (3) different ways, and a long
line].
Short-format: 44 stenographs
=======================
Short format uses stenographs that represent more than one
sound or combine two (2) stenographs.
It uses 44 stenographs: 39 using regular letters (of which 12
are disjointed) and five (5) which are unique ( a concave line,
a convex line, a convex line with a c-letter at the end, and
a short veritcal line.)
Speed
=====
Greater transcription speed can be achieved by writing
words together without spaces between them when
there is no disjointed stenographs and by using as few
stenographs as possible - just enough to get the sound
outline of the word or sentence.
Punctuation
=========
The only thing that is different is that there is no dot
under the question mark, a paragraph ends with a
double forward slash instead of a period, and a comma
can be either be written with an inverted v-letter on top
of it or encircled so NOT to be confused with the steno-
graph represented by the comma that represents the
long o-sound.
Steno-pad
========
A steno-pad is divided into two (2) columns.
Transcription begins in the first column to the left and
then once at the bottom of the first column continues
by going to the top of the second column to the right.
Incidentally, the fountain pen is still the preferred
instrument of choice for transcribing.
Once a transcribed column is typed, a diagonal line
starting at the bottom left-hand corner is drawn up
to the right-hand top corner of the column.
Pricing
=====
Ideally, pricing should be both VARIABLE and
AFFORDABLE depending on how many intend
to take the course, on the cost of rental facilities,
on whether it's being offered in a school, college,
universiy, or at a business.
For any K+ Steno-course organized by the licensee
to which the K+ owner is invited to give, the profits
will be shared with the licensee.
10 *KEY* SELLING POINTS
=======================
Point 1
Because this speedwriting uses the regular letters
of the alphabet apart from a few punctuation marks
and lines (diagonal, concave, convex, short vertical,
and straight long and short line), it's very easy to learn.
Point 2
It can be learned in about two (2) hours.
Point 3
The whole family can benefit - especially if the
chidren are in Grade six (6) or higher.
Point 4
Those who take the course can get 40% off the
regular price off the K+ Steno-kit
http://www.k-x-4u.com/Steno-kit.htm#down_below.
Point 5
The K+ Steno-course can be added to their resume.
Point 6
Instead of lugging a laptop around that might get
damaged or stolen, they just take their a steno-pad
and walk *confidently* into that class or meeting.
Point 7
They'll enjoy THE COOL FACTOR that will set
them apart from the pack that's says, " I'm SMART".
Point 8
Rather than being in a panic when taking note,
they can relax and take their time to listen to
what is being said while knowing they'll be able
to write it all down.
Point 9
Later, when typing their notes at their convenience,
they can review and edit them for clarity.
Point 10
Speedwriting is very handy when taking notes at a
meeting or when doing research at a library or when
jotting things down while on the phone.

to ask 30 to 100 people the following questions to
