The principal purpose of this website is to make North American companies more successful overseas.
How could you win against formidable foreign competitors who, just like your prospect, fluently converse in metric, switching between units seemingly on the fly, while you still need to consult conversion tables, and have difficulty visualizing verbal descriptions?
This website is designed to make you a metric native, to compete on a level playing field, and, as a direct consequence, use your product’s or service’s competitive edge to win the contract.
The secondary purpose of this website is to illustrate to everybody, from school children to great grand parents, how easy it is to use the metric system. It just takes a little getting used to, and then, as you will see, it is easier to work with than with US customary units.
At the moment, we offer 10 basic lessons:
The first 2 lessons are free. They are about meters and centimeters. Those are to the metric system what dollars and cents are to our monetary system. To get the other eight lessons, you may order the CD with all 10 basic lessons.
You can easily load the contents of the CD onto your laptop and study it on an airplane. The best time to learn is on your way to a foreign country (including Canada or Mexico). You will immediately be able to apply what you just learned.
We also offer instructional tools, like the M-stick, to help you visualize basic units, like the meter.
Enough introduction, let’s go on to how to become a “metric native” followed by the “dollars and cents” of the metric system.
