Richard Branson was born in 1950 and educated at Stowe
School, where he established a national magazine called
Student at the age of 16 and started a Student Advisory
Center at 17 to help young people. In 1970 he founded
Virgin as a mail-order record retailer and shortly
thereafter opened a record shop in Oxford Street,
London. In 1972 a recording studio was built in
Oxfordshire, where the first Virgin artist, Mike
Oldfield, recorded "Tubular Bells," which was released
in 1973.
The first album of the newly created Virgin Records went
on to sell over 5 million copies, and over the years
many household names, including Belinda Carlisle,
Genesis, Phil Collins, Janet Jackson and The Rolling
Stones, helped make Virgin Music one of the top six
record companies in the world. The equity of Virgin
Music Group -- record labels, music publishing and
recording studios -- was sold to THORN EMI in 1992 in a
billion-dollar deal.
The interests of Virgin Group have now expanded into
international "Megastore" music retailing, the Internet,
book and software publishing, film and video editing
facilities, clubs, travel, hotels and cinemas through
over 100 companies in 23 countries.
Virgin Atlantic Airways, formed in 1984, is now the
second-largest British long-haul international airline.
It operates a fleet of Boeing 747 and Airbus A340
aircraft to 25 locations around the world, including New
York, Miami, Boston, Los Angeles, Orlando, San
Francisco, Las Vegas, Washington, DC, Hong Kong, Tokyo,
Johannesburg and the Caribbean. Founded on the concept
of offering a competitive and high quality Upper Class
and Economy service, Virgin Atlantic has won the Airline
of the Year Award several times and holds many other
major awards.
In 1997 Virgin took over Britain’s two most run-down
rail franchises and engaged in a £2-billion fleet
replacement program to create one of the most modern
rail networks in the world. The combined sales of the
different Virgin holding companies exceeded £3.5 billion
in 1999.
In addition to his own business activities, Branson is a
trustee of several charities, including the Healthcare
Foundation. His help in the initial funding of Charity
Projects helped that organization to raise over £27
million in 1989 alone through campaigns such as Comic
Relief.
Since 1985, Branson has been involved in a number of
world-record-breaking attempts. In 1986 his boat Virgin
Atlantic Challenger II rekindled the spirit of the Blue
Riband trophy by crossing the Atlantic Ocean in the
fastest time ever recorded. This feat was followed a
year later by the epic hot-air balloon crossing of the
same ocean in "Virgin Atlantic Flyer," which was not
only the first hot-air balloon to cross the Atlantic,
but, at 2.3 million cubic feet capacity, was the largest
ever flown. It reached speeds in excess of 130 miles per
hour (209 k/ph).
In January 1991, Branson crossed the Pacific Ocean from
Japan to Arctic Canada, the distance of 6,700 miles
again breaking all existing records with speeds of up to
245 miles per In January 1991, Branson crossed the
Pacific Ocean from Japan to Arctic Canada, the distance
of 6,700 miles again breaking all existing records with
speeds of up to 245 miles per hour, in a balloon of 2.6
million cubic feet. Between 1995 and 1998, Branson, Per
Lindstrand and Steve Fossett (who joined the team after
the sad death of Alex Ritchie) made a number of attempts
to circumnavigate the globe by balloon. In late 1998
they made a record-breaking flight from Morocco to
Hawaii, but their dream of a global flight was shattered
by bad weather before a Swiss team successfully
circumnavigated the globe in early 1999.
In December 1999 Branson was awarded a knighthood in the
Queen’s millennium New Years honors list for “services
to entrepreneurship”.
Branson currently lives in London and Oxfordshire. He is
married with two children.

Mortgage Leads,
Attention Mortgage Lead Buyers - We've Discovered "The Greatest Mortgage Lead
Campaign in the World"
Top 5
Things Homeowners Should Know Before Refinancing
Mortgage Refinancing has stayed consistent over the past few months
primarily because of the best mortgage in America says, “Oliver Maldonado
Mortgage Expert and Author of The Mortgage Book”.
(PRWEB) November 25, 2004 -- The best mortgage in America has a low interest
rate currently at about 1.95%. “This mortgage isn’t in my opinion the best
mortgage in America solely because of the amazingly low rate, but also because
of several additional options it has. This incredible mortgage can also be
converted into a 15-year mortgage without having to refinance and without having
to re-qualify again. It also has an interest only option for additional savings
in case your financial situation should change. If you think about it, it’s the
equivalent of 3 mortgages wrapped into one. It very well may be the last
mortgage you’ll ever need!” say’s Oliver Maldonado.
This mortgage has also been called “The Magic Mortgage”. When asked why would he
reveal this information Oliver replied, “first of all, I work for my clients!
I’m on their side, not the side of the Lender so I want to provide all of my
clients with the best possible mortgage available for them that is in their best
interest! Lenders make their money on the interest rate and would rather have a
higher rate for increased profits. I make my money on the mortgage refinancing,
so I would rather give my clients the best possible mortgage for them which
increases my value to my clients. This mortgage is also not available to
everyone. Believe it or not, most mortgage lenders and brokers have never even
heard of this mortgage. The majority of mortgage brokers and lenders that have
heard of this mortgage don’t and cannot offer the mortgage to the general
public.”
Oliver Maldonado is also covering over $1 Million Dollars in closing costs
throughout the Country for new clients working with him from a voucher in his
book entitled “The Mortgage Book”.
Oliver says, “ I think most homeowners throughout the country have been taken
advantage of for many years by unscrupulous mortgage lenders and brokers. I’m
working on changing the way the mortgage industry does business. I love the fact
that I’m ruffling the feathers of many mortgage companies, lenders and brokers
alike! That’s why I wrote a tell all mortgage book and revealed secret
information! I want all homeowners looking to refinance their mortgage to be
able to educate themselves and protect themselves with all of their mortgage
refinancing needs.”
Oliver Maldonado is a mortgage expert working with the general public helping
homeowners throughout the country by refinancing their mortgages. If you’d like

of market. This mortgage lead generating system is based on mailing "Deeds of
Trust" to homeowners.
His mortgage lead system was featured in the Mortgage Originator Magazine
"Creating an Effective Direct-Mail Piece" and generates a 20-30% response.
"There are many reasons why this is the most cost effective mortgage lead system
in the world. This mortgage lead system is so effective because of it's
simplicity and the fact that anyone can do it on their own, along with the mail
piece itself, the deed of trust. Many mortgage lead companies try to come up
with unique mailers and postcards. What mail piece is targeting the prospect
more than an example of their deed of trust? You can't get more unique and
personal than their own deed". Said Oliver when asked how this mortgage lead
system is so effective.
This mortgage lead system is available to all mortgage professionals and has the
templates needed to create an unlimited amount of Deeds of Trust for any

general public. This Mortgage Direct Mail System was featured in "The Greatest
Sales Book in the World" as The Greatest Direct Mail Piece in the World
generating an unmatched and unheard of 20-30% response rate from the pieces
mailed!
"I've recently done a lot of research trying to find companies where you could
purchase deeds of your own, but was shocked to discover only 2 title companies
that would provide these deeds. Unfortunately they only provided deeds for a few
counties in their state only. The cost was also extremely high averaging about
$1 per deed, so I decided to share the system with the general public. I believe
there is plenty of business for all of us out there so I don't mind sharing this
revolutionary system with other mortgage professionals who may be in need of
such a system" said Oliver.
Within 30 days mortgage originators could have all new mortgage leads coming in
from this system alone, funding $3-$10 Million per month.
This system was created primarily for the Mortgage Industry.

The idea of The Greatest Sales Book in the World came as an idea to Oliver
Maldonado when he was driving his car listening to an Anthony Robbins tape!
(PRWEB) December 2, 2004 -- A fan of Anthony Robbins wrote and published “The
Greatest Sales Book in the World”, which came to him as an idea when he was
listening to an Anthony Robbins tape driving in his car. Oliver Maldonado said
“Anthony Robbins was the inspiration behind the title of the book. I’ve listened
to Anthony Robbins for many years and he has literally changed my life and the
life of my family and friends in so many ways. I read his Awaken the Giant
Within many years ago and that book alone inspired me to start a sales &
marketing company when I was just 22 years of age. I traveled around the country
running sales & marketing campaigns which again Anthony Robbins had inspired me
to do.
Anthony Robbins is the nations leading expert in the science of peak performance
and has helped millions of people take immediate control of their emotions,
body, relationships, finance, and their life. Now Anthony Robbins can add Oliver
Maldonado and The Greatest Sales Book in the World to his repertoire of people
he’s influenced.
The Greatest Sales Book in the World is a compilation of the worlds greatest
sales presentations, sales scripts, telemarketing scripts and tracking reports
the world has ever seen. Oliver Maldonado has traveled all around the United
States over the past 12 years selling to all walks of life, rich and poor, big
and small cities and has been able to maintain a career sales conversion ratio
of over 90%. That means he has sold and closed 9 out of every 10 people he has
presented to for his entire sales career. In this book he shows the readers all
of the tools, scripts, presentations and sales tracking reports that has helped
him achieve this extraordinary level of sales success.
Oliver’s new book has also created some controversy regarding it’s flashy title
“The Greatest Sales Book in the World” being compared to one of the most
successful books of all time selling over 13 Million copies, “Og Mandinos, The
Greatest Salesman in the World”.
Oliver said, “These books are two completely different books. I am truly honored
by being compared to such an amazing person and book such as Og Mandino and The
Greatest Salesman in the World, but in reality these are two different books. In
my book, you’ll find actual sales presentations, scripts, rebuttals, sales
techniques that have been proven over time to be the greatest sales materials in
the world. You will be able to use and apply what you read day one! Og Mandinos
The Greatest Salesman in the World is an amazing motivating storyline which can
indeed be used and applied to many things in life including sales, but there are
no actual sales presentations, scripts, rebuttals, or anything along those
lines, so I would have to disagree with the comparison”.
If you are in sales or thinking about getting into the sales industry you might
want to pick up a copy of The Greatest Sales Book in the World and see for
yourself. It very well may be that the book may be worth $1 Million dollars to
you as the Author claims.

The Greatest Salesman in the Word is truly a great treasure for anyone
wanting to achieve everything they’ve ever wanted in life. There has been over
$2.2 Billion in gross sales generated from the systems and sales formula
contained in the new book The Greatest Salesbook in the World.
(PRWEB) August 7, 2004 -- Og Mandino wrote one of the best selling books of
all time, The Greatest Salesman in the World which is a powerful self help
motivational book. The Greatest Salesman in the World has changed many peoples
lives around the world and now there is a new book entitled “The Greatest
Salesbook in the World” by Oliver Maldonado. Oliver Maldonado said, “I’ve read
Og Mandinos The Greatest Salesman in the World and it has inspired me for many
years. It is genius, but my book was actually inspired by Anthony Robbins. One
day I was driving in my car listening to one of Anthony Robbins tapes in which
he states that you should have a mantra. Something crazy. I was actually
thinking of a title for my 2nd book and then I started thinking of my mantra. I
will write the greatest salesbook in the universe, no better yet, I will write
The Greatest Salesbook in the World! Which is how I came up with the title. I
had already known about Og Mandinos The Greatest Salesman in the World, but my
book is much different than Og’s. I have been inspired by Og Mandino and I
actually included some material that was inspired by The Greatest Salesman in
the World and the 10 Scrolls. I entitled mine The 10 Sales Commandments!
Og Mandino wrote The Greatest salesman in the World in 1968 and since then the
book has become one of the greatest books in the world selling over 13 million
copies worldwide in 18 languages. Og Mandino is one of the worlds greatest
authors selling over 36 million copies worldwide of his many books. Oliver
Maldonado has a tough act to follow with his new book. The book sounds very
similar in title, and may very well be The Greatest Salesbook in the World
flashy title or not. It will be interesting to see how successful this new book
will be. From the sounds of it the book contains a lot of useful information
that can be applied to any sales industry. If the book holds true to its claims
of having the greatest sales presentations, sales scripts, rebuttals and
tracking reports in the world, then this book very well may be The Greatest
Salesbook in the World.
Oliver Maldonado has traveled all around the United States over the past 12
years selling to all walks of life, rich and poor, big and small cities and has
been able to maintain a career conversion ratio of over 90%. That means, he has
closed 9 out of every 10 people he has presented to for his entire career.
Oliver’s new book has created some controversy regarding it’s flashy title “The
Greatest Salesbook in the World” being compared to one of the most successful
books of all time, “Og Mandinos, The Greatest Salesman in the World”. “
“These books are two completely different books. I am truly honored by being
compared to such an amazing person and book, but in reality these are two very
different books. In my book, you will find actual sales presentations, scripts,
rebuttals, sales techniques that have been proven over time to be the greatest

sales presentations, scripts, rebuttals, or anything along those lines, so I
would have to disagree with the comparison”, said Maldonado.
If you are in sales or thinking about getting into the sales industry I strongly
recommend reading this book. This book can indeed help you increase your closing
ratios and you’ll soon see your income increasing dramatically. There aren’t
many books if any on selling that have actual proven sales presentations,
scripts and rebuttals that can be used in any industry whether you’re selling a
product or a service!
