Business these days

Because of such developments, an individual can improve his life, put it in order and make it more meaningful. A person, stimulated by a frightening present, will immerse if not immolate himself in the memories of a haunting, distant past. The past is always a good gauge in understanding the present realities and in determining the future actions.
Although the future is an enigma, a manager should look to the future in managing his organization. Such uncertainty should not prevent him in planning his managerial actions for the future. In doing so, he should not, however, stray far from the organization’s direction. As the American authors said:
No one can really predict the future, but an analysis of present conditions can be the basis for making intelligent guesses. Some futurologists or forecasters of the future are optimistic. Many hold to a mixture of opinions.
Although no one knows exactly what will happen in the future, a manager must be futuristic. He works today considering what might happen tomorrow, rationally decides the sort of future that he could shape and then works to achieve it. He looks at the future with strong convictions to realize his dreams and to fulfill his mission. The only things that can bar his way from achieving the organizational goals are self- doubts and negative thinking. Thus, he should not let these villains get a toehold in his mind and in his organization.
One of the future courses of management shows managers recognizing the importance of providing more participative climate in their future organizations.
Also, it shows that there is a need to study the behavior of people at work to help them become more effective, more productive, and better satisfied. Studies must be made to improve the worker’s productivity and job satisfaction, particularly on selection and training, goal-setting, pay and work motivation, and job design and job enrichment.

Sales to success

Friday, January 8th, 2010

The top people we train get emotionally involved with the people they serve. The successful really care about their clients, and this true feeling comes through loud and clear to the people they’re selling. That’s why the successful gets so many referrals. I don’t think any salesperson ever made much money in a normal market without a rich flow of well-deserved referrals. We’ll show you the techniques you have to use to get a lot of referrals because most people won’t think of it by themselves, but the secret behind the technique is caring. When the buyer of your offering sees the cash register behind your eyes ringing up your earnings if he says yes, he’ll automatically fight you. Instead of giving him a powerful emotional reason to want to do business with you (because he can see that you really care about his welfare) you’ve given him a powerful emotional reason for avoiding doing business with you.
I’ve met a few salespeople who hate other people. Out of the millions in sales, there are a few thousand who can’t stand their fellow man. And some of them manage to make fairly good money. But I never knew one who wasn’t always scrambling from job to job because people-haters make enemies faster than money. Successful , on the other hand, tend to stay with what they’re doing for a long time. And they use some of the generous money they’re making to build their clientele. It all comes about because they’re experts not only in sales but also in caring.

Selling tips

Wednesday, December 9th, 2009

Do you take rejection personally? Maybe a client you’re working with, someone you’ve made your entire presentation to, decides to talk to your competitor and says he’ll call you next week. Not only does he fail to call you, he changes his phone number and firm name. When you get back to him the following week, he’s already bought from the competitor. Or you meet someone who says, “I’m really interested,” and when you arrive a week later for your appointment, they calmly inform you that they’ve been enjoying another brand of your product since the day after your meeting. Has something like this ever happened to you? If it hasn’t yet, keep on plugging—it will.
That’s sales. That’s the business world.
You can’t prevent situations of this kind, but you can train yourself to take them in stride. Successful don’t take rejection personally.

The sales people

Monday, November 9th, 2009

One of the reasons many new salespeople think they can wing it and win has to do with the faulty image they have of the sales interview. They think of selling situations as a slow-paced affair where there’s plenty of time for telling jokes, chatting about sports and the weather, and for winging their way through any unexpected challenges. What these new salespeople don’t realize is that, even in such a leisurely interview, the brass tack business part of it goes very, very fast.
And some purchasing agents are notorious for keeping the trivia going with any salesperson they don’t know and favor in order to avoid hearing the presentation. Many buyers will do that. If you sell a product or service that’s regularly bought by a purchasing agent—industrial supplies, for example—you can be sure that some of those agents have favorite salesmen. Unless you develop a unique, interest-catching plan to beat that game before you walk in the door, the favorite-players will finesse you every time.
Imagine what would happen to me if I went on the court with a tennis pro after saying I was going to beat him.

Characteristic of great sales people

Monday, November 9th, 2009

Characteristic of great sales people is also true of their companies. They all believe in continuing education. They study technique. They learn new skills. The company managements encourage their salespeople to go to seminars, to listen to cassettes, to watch videotapes, and to read books. You never have to push a successful person to invest in his mind. I he or she knows that if you put better ideas into your brain, better performance will come out. Successful person know that the place to start improving one’s environment is inside one’s own skull. Invest more time, money, and effort into your mind, and finer things will start gravitating to you. You’ll take more enjoyable trips, live in a more comfortable and prestigious home, and have more of the goodies that money buys. I’m not giving you a new

Behind Closed Doors

Friday, October 9th, 2009

Idea meetings are usually attended by a combination of a publisher’s editorial and marketing people, and the attendance may vary by who is available on any given day. Although they may be scheduled for the same day and time each week, these meetings are basically informal and unstructured, more like group discussions. They usually don’t have a written schedule or agenda; everyone sits around a table and the atmosphere is collegial, relaxed, and frank.
Editors inform the group about book proposals to generate discussions in which everyone chimes in. The group asks questions, gives opinions, and volunteers information about similar or competitive books. Idea meetings are essentially exploratory. Their purpose is to challenge proposals by closely examining them and chipping away to see if the proposed project would make a good book for the house to publish. They discuss whether they think the firm should commit further time and resources to each book discussed. At idea meetings, proposals can be rejected, but they cannot be given final approval.
What is the book about?
Is there an audience for the book? If so, who is that audience?
Where will it be shelved? Books that don’t have clearly identifiable places on bookstore shelves get lost. Booksellers don’t know where to place them, and potential buyers don’t know where to find them.
Can the book be produced so that it provides value for readers? For example, if all the books on a subject are priced in the $30 range, can the publisher deliver this book with a higher word count or information not in competing books and sell it for
$12.95?
“A book has to be clearly identifiable as something new in the marketplace,” according to Gary Krebs, the publishing director at Adams Media.”New in the marketplace means that it can be on the same topic as something that already exists, but there has to be a new spin, a new direction, which sometimes can be just a format change. Or, you could spin an existing topic for a new demographic such as businesswomen when all the other books were primarily aimed at men.”
All decisions are market driven; the group must believe that the book proposed can make the company money. Editors as well as marketing representatives usually won’t support a proposal unless they believe that the book can be commercially viable.
If the proposal survives the idea meeting, the editor who championed it usually prepares a presentation report or packet for another committee; one that has the authority to acquire the property. The report or packet includes research on sales figures, competing books, comparable history of the publisher’s other books, recent publishing trends, and whether this proposal fits in with its overall vision of what they did in the past and want to do in the future.
At these meetings, the group wants to see if the book has a strong hook and how it is positioned.

The post approval

Wednesday, September 9th, 2009

Upon completion of the manuscript and submission of it to the publisher, your editor edits the book. The editor then contacts you with his or her suggestions, to which you respond. In our experience, editors’ suggestions have been greatly beneficial and have enhanced our books. At times, certain editors’ opinions may be hard to swallow, but they’re usually on target. Most editors are extremely professional and will improve your book.
Occasionally, an editor’s suggestions will be off the wall or will move the manuscript in a direction unacceptable to the author. If this occurs and you can’t work it out with the editor, summon your agent to duke it out. It’s part of the service you are paying for.
When you finish making the agreed-upon revisions, your editor will accept your manuscript. At this point, a substantial portion of the advance against royalties is usually payable, frequently half.
If the book is produced in-house, the edited manuscript is sent to the production department. Frequently, production, which includes copy editing, design, and indexing, is outsourced.When these functions are subcontracted, someone in-house reviews them.
After the book is copy edited, the manuscript is sent back to you with the editor’s query marks. When copy editors’ queries are transmitted via a computer file, they must be answered by using an electronic editing feature, which is available in most word-processing programs. Otherwise, copy edits are sent by hard copy and must be attended to by hand.You must address each of the copy editor queries and then send the manuscript back.

The approval

At most publishing houses, the final purchasing decision is made by the editor in chief, the chief operating officer, or an executive conmiittee. The names of these executive committees differ for each publishing house and include editorial, acquisition, purchase, publishing committees or boards. For our purposes, let’s just refer to them as publishing boards.
A publishing board usually meets at the same time each week. It consists of the publisher, editors, and marketing people. It also can include design and promotion personnel.These boards can range in size from ten to thirty people.
In some companies, the chief operating officer makes the final purchasing decision. Usually, he or she wants everyone on the committee or board to agree, but he or she will often proceed without unanimous approval. Publishing boards set the price that they will be willing to pay for the book and then the publisher sends a contract to the author’s agent or directly to the author if he or she is not represented.
In publishing houses, financial thresholds exist that limit what edi— tors or groups of editors can offer writers for books. To exceed that threshold, they usually have to get approval from the chief financial
officer or someone high on the corporate ladder. If you expect top money, your proposal will get a rigorous reading from the higher-ups,
who function as investment managers.
You, your agent, and the publisher then negotiate the terms of the
contract and sign the deal. If you sold the book on the basis of a proposal, you must now write the manuscript. An editor is assigned to your project, and you should contact the editor to map out the direction of the book and make sure that you’re both on the same page.
