Provide a brief statement of the municipality’s vision for downtown revitalization. Downtown Staten Island is experiencing an unprecedented amount of interest from around the region and the world, including substantial public and private investment. As this influx of businesses, residents, visitors, and investors began, our community understood the absolute need for a guiding strategic vision to allow for smart growth. Community-based and civic organizations, elected officials, government agencies, educational institutions, businesses, property owners, and residents have come together in many ways to ensure that all points of view are represented and to ensure an equitable and well-balanced view of the area’s future. With its proximity to both the rest of New York City and New Jersey, Downtown Staten Island is poised to become a regional hub. There is a consensus vision of a thriving, mixed-use, mixed-income, multi-cultural waterfront community serving not only as a destination itself, but also as a vibrant connector to the rest of Staten Island, the rest of the City, and the world.

  • 1. the Art of Selling Without Being 'Salesy' How Do You Ask
    1. The Art of Selling Without Being ‘Salesy’ How do you ask a girl out? Do you start with talking about yourself? Do you remind them how you are the best she’ll ever meet? No! (Until, of course, you want to drive them away) Then why do you do it as a brand? Of course, it is important to convince your target audience about how you or your product are the one-stop solution to the current challenges they’re facing. But think about this - have you really seen doctors go about ‘selling’ their skills/profession? No! They put their stakes on word of mouth marketing. Still, they are one of the highest grossers we know! That’s the case of services, you’d say. How about products? You just can’t sit ​ ​ ​ back and wait for someone to recommend your product to your target market. You’ve to be aggressive, out there. Agreed. But being aggressive ≠ being salesy. ​ An aggressive salesperson will put his blood and sweat in creating the need for the product/service and solving his prospects’ most pressing challenges. A ‘salesy’ salesperson, on the other hand, will try and convince the prospects that his product/service is right for them irrespective of what their problem is. Aggressive salesperson is targeted; salesy salesperson just wants to meet the targets. Indeed, a very thin line. ​ Source Let’s take another example to understand this better. “Our core competency is helping struggling outfits like yours get buy-in from bigger clients.
