Alan Samuels of People Capital Interviewed by Transcapitalist Blog
Posted by Salem Global on Feb 16, 2010
Last week a blogger from Transcapitalis.com sat down with Alan Samuels, Chief Product Officer at People Capital (www.People2Capital.com) to discuss People Capital’s Human Capital Score and how it is revolutionizing the way student loans are given. They wrote:
The HCS [Human Capital Score] innovation shows potential to greatly improve the current approach to education financing in two major ways: 1) More fairly and accurately evaluating the risk of young people seeking loans for educational purposes; and 2) More robustly challenging future students to think critically about what the education they seek will realistically help them achieve post-graduation before making such an investment in time and debt.

Posted by Aryeh.Landowne on Dec 7, 2009
People Capital, one of the leading peer-to-peer lending platforms, has been keeping busy this past week. Here is one event and two stories in which People Capital was mentioned this past week.

By far the most momentous decisions you make in building human capital are when you’re young. Projecting off estimates by People Capital, which tracks workers’ earnings history by college and by major, a student’s decision to major in a low-demand field like English rather than a higher-demand one like bio-engineering, might vaporize the equivalent of $700,000 on the spot.

College Planning Tip #10: Peer to peer loans. Person to person lending, or P2P is another option for college planning, cash strapped parents. You request a loan on a P2P site, and an individual lender or a group of lenders may provide the loan at an interest rate set by the site.

Customer Service Management Sets You Apart From The Competition.
Posted by Aryeh.Landowne on Jul 15, 2009
Many businesses think customer service is just one aspect of their business and it often gets lost as businesses focus more on product development or sales or marketing. But in today’s market there is so much competition, and often the competition is better than you or offers exactly what you offer. So how do you differentiate your business from your competition?
Customer Experience Management or CEM is a business strategy that focuses and redefines your business from your customer’s viewpoint. It involves all aspects of your business, from marketing and research to product development and pricing. Today all it takes is one bad experience to hurt your company. For example, Eric writes a popular blog about technology. He is looking to purchase a new HD television. After much consideration he picks out a “PannaSony” Plasma TV, purchases it, sets it up and begins watching. Halfway through the first episode of Mad Men, half his screen goes black. He calls customer service and waits on hold for hours before finally he reaches someone who is no help to him, All it takes is one blog post on Eric’s blog for thousands of his readers to hear about how bad PannaSony’s customer service is.
Enter Strativity. Strativity can help your company implement a Customer Experience Management strategy and improve your company’s customer experience and in doing so improve the company’s reputation for service, which will set you apart from the competition. With good customer service Eric, the blogger, might still write a blog post about his new TV’s issues but instead of a post bashing the customer service at PannaSony, he writes about his pleasant experience on the phone with a real person and how they sent someone to install a new model within a week.
A positive experience published in a blog can go a long way to sway potential customers or clients and the first step is to actually make your customer service the best it can be. And for that there is Strativity.
Have You Heard of Implantable Contact Lens?
Posted by Edan Shertzer on Jun 9, 2009
Implantable contact lenses or ICLs (also known as phakic intraocular lenses or implantable collamer lenses), are a type of internal corrective lens for the eye. Just like external contact lens, ICLs operate correct the natural shape of the eye’s lens, with the exception that ICLs are surgically inserted into the eye and stay there permanently. There are some big pluses to ICL surgery: for one, ICLs can often correct high refractive errors that LASIK or PRK surgeries simply can’t accomplish. Another advantage over laser surgery is that phakic IOLs do not alter the tissue of the eye, preventing potential damage and infection. Finally, ICL surgery is not only safe, it’s reversible through a minor outpatient procedure.
ICLs are a relatively new surgical option for vision correction, but Dr. Ilan Cohen and his team at the Fifth Avenue Eye Center have pioneered it from the start. In fact, Dr. Cohen was the first eye surgeon in the New York Tri-State area to perform this surgery. Call (866) 731-3937 for more information on the Fifth Avenue Eye Center or to schedule an appointment, and find out whether you are a candidate for ICL.

LASIK’s Great, But It’s Not Your Only Option
Posted by Edan Shertzer on May 21, 2009
There’s no denying the great impact the LASIK procedure has had on the ophthalmological profession. LASIK surgery is a short and painless procedure that can permanently correct vision deficiencies a person may have possessed for years. Small wonder the number of patients who undergo the procedure continues to grow each year.
But not everyone is a candidate for LASIK. Some patients may have conditions that prevent them from qualifying for LASIK. If you’re in this position, what should you do?
Luckily, there are eyecare centers out there that offer safe and reliable alternatives to LASIK. The best center in the Tri-State region is the Fifth Avenue Eye Center, which is led by Dr. Ilan Cohen, a surgeon widely known for his expertise and skill with LASIK and an assortment of alternative procedures. The Fifth Avenue Eye Center offers LASEK surgery, which dispenses with the LASIK flap and is an option for patients whose corneas are very flat or very thin. Implantable contact lens such as Visian ICL are another possibility — Dr. Cohen happens to be the first surgeon in New York to perform ICL surgery.
All refractive surgeries, though, must begin with an eye exam. To schedule an appointment at the Fifth Avenue Eye Center, please call (866) 731-3937. You can also send an e-mail to info@nyceyedoc.com.
