Trying another side of Google

I am at the beginning of a steep learning curve that sees me both  learning and implementing just how far I can utilize the Google Documents.

An associate showed me Google Documents. Then opened the Google Document world to me. Things I had thought of before suddenly became limitless.

• Previously having to save diagrams and pages in half or quarter size for people to read them on the information presented on the blogger.  
• Printing this information out caused the enlargements to be unreadable.
• I kept finding scholarship papers popping up in Google search engines.  These were really good reading as I was told the procedure to place a 'paper' on this level of the web.  therefore felt that the source to be more accurate that something placed on the web.
• Instead of repeating actions that involve a lot of copy writing the same things over and over blogger's tab bar has incorporated a web address link. 
• The folders can be made and files stored in them.  Meanwhile there is a running sheet of each and every file you are working on as well.
• Sharing is a terrific idea when you are able to limit those who see but also those who can change things around with you. Check the documents out. 
• Time management wise there is a lot to be done to enable the change overs from blog indexes to document presented indexes.  However for the readers easing this time spend is a profitable investment.
• Locating files to update -where someone else is or has been working on - is easier as they have popped up to the top of the list.

On the down size although 

• The printing has greater scope the graph pages are still tricky to print out .

Google Documents will add another dynamic side to the blogs that I have fun writing with.

Triggers releasing action.

Ethics and experiences change in the various cultures which make up the community the sales person is entering into. Other than being resilient while taking the lead there are five things are the same through out the sales persons speal.

The first is money.  Effectively the sales person is after it, the client simply does not want to spend it. Stalemate.  With a win loose situation who will dominate?

True sales people look for a way to listen to the client - after all they hold what you want - their purse strings. You, the sales person wins when the client feels like they have won by signing up to what you are selling.  Once this has occurred further non-time wasting follow ups and contact is important.

The second is that cheesy smile.  One that says "I'm gonna take you for a ride" While you cannot see my hands mind your wallet!

The third is just talking too much.  If you are talking you are not listening to the clients needs.  Your message becomes blurred and with out end. Your mouth is moving so fast you are unable to see what the client is missing.  The clients cameras may let dust in. Spiders may trigger things off.  These equal hidden cost factors that the client happily pays for. What if your company has dust free entry camera.  Or can supply a cleaning and debugging service for the camera area.

While the sales person technique includes appraisal and analysing the clients needs - their own need for a close of sale might override common sense -intruding on a delicate close of sale threat.   When a sales person effectively shows the " I am not rushed but I do have other appointments" attitude from the start and has mentioned a time allotment such as ".. What about spending five minutes to show me what you are talking about?"  Spend just five minutes. Once achieved and done suggest that for a better understanding of the situation make a  positive affirmation to return either on Monday afternoon or Tuesday morning. Meanwhile you will forward information that will be helpful.

Now get out and do it. Exit with grace and confidence that you have not wasted your clients time. Make notes and critically review the time you have spent.  Pass on the information.  Make the experience worth while for both you and your client.

Presenting a morphed before and after vision leads to ongoing sales

The power of animation is so strong that simulations confer "pseudomemories".  Basically by the sales person supplying a pseudomemory  as a trigger tool the sales person is setting the seen for a is an imposed memory or trigger to gain hold. How the client needs to settle their mind.

You know your product is the best.  Simply dropping the prodct and running is not doing the client or yourself any favours.  The client is in need. Fearful of being sues, being left behind, knowing that you will have other people to see.

The real motivation to stay with you and your company is the reward of doing something and being recognised. Ask them which photos they would like placed in the Safety and Security blog that is a free publication emailed to interested parties.  Advertising is very expensive.  The situation of giving the clients business recognition for ongoing sales, or even spending time having a cuppa or meeting at a shared club activity is important.  Either way the client and sales person is in a win / win situation.

Way to Go Sales Team.

A sales team  is part of the overall business workforce.  Literally any business is in business to show a profit thus keeping the share holders happy, the employees employed, the bills paid and expenses managed. This said the employees take their professional bearings along with their attitudes lead from the businesses management.

A business that supports the environment it is in in a manner which overcomes challenges (both major and minor) will in turn lead the way for their employees and others that it interacts with greater ease,  manages to grow from adversity, then turns potentially negative events into positive ones can harvest that same flow of energy through their structure.  Effectively the benchmarks the company sets are passed on through the staff. Both the staff, other stakeholders and the business becoming more resilient, responding to change pro-actively rather than resisting any change factors.  After all where would you now be should electricity then light bulbs not have been invented?  Way back before then what about the garnishing of fire embers and the shaping of a wheel?

Business and people who develop the right attitude, actually become aware, develop an internal Locus of Control managing to cultivate optimism social support through a sense of humor. Meanwhile as the staff are encouraged to exercise , to explore their spiritual side  they are also prompted not to give up.

Given this positive atmosphere that is moving forward what hope does the sales team have but to emulate it and come up smiling.  Way to Go.

Practice delivering your message.

Delivering your message in a quiet yet effective method may be appropriate at some times yet inappropriate at others.

By practising with family, pets, even in mirrors and on strangers you will begin to deliver your message naturally without forcing an issue or faking the self appreciation and self confidence level.

Mix your message with a firmness and cheerfulness that is concurrent with your "positive trust me" body language. Then believe in both what you are selling - yourself, you company and the product.

Where is Meet Up taking me too?

The arts culture has really begun to use social media. The question is where will the use of the social media take them too and what are the outcomes?

The team members have set up a blogging group.Now that "Meetup.com has been introiduced into the urban sceen' ...is bringing together large crowds of similar-minded audiaences." writes Aine Creedon. With this coming together of people, talents and IT the art world, as we think we know it, will  continue to change, add new interfaces and dimensions.

As I read the article it looks like an objective was to reach into a wider audience. The strategy being through the use of social media and networking combination. Social Media for Communities article has reported is that through the social networking and social media forums of Blogging and twittering Arts Professionals are keeping abreast of the arts scene. The sheer amount of people participating in the arts genres has increased dramatically along with interactions of ideas developing a cross culture/genera influence through the art world it self.  Similar to how van Gough, Cezanne, Gogan and Seurat influenced the Twentieth century painting . The principles went wider and influenced the architecture, furniture. Social concepts flowed on into every day life.

“We use Twitter not only to connect with one another, but to share what we feel brings value to a larger online arts community,” said Ms. Merlino, senior marketing manager at the Guggenheim Museum. It has enabled us to form both professional and personal relationships that has provided countless opportunities for learning and collaboration.”

The spear headed movement includes both art professionals as well as interested stakeholders and others are keeping "up to date on creative new exhibits and lectures by following one another's updates on Twitter and using the" common hastag. While your at it, keep your friend in the loop and 'share' the post with your friends.

Yes the strategies for up -marketing the arts and culture of the world are benefiting from social media and social networking.

What a difference a day makes.

Confidentiality equals trust. When trust is gone because of confidentiality leaks what do people expect to happen?

Today was a good example.

The new Sales Person arrived. The owner of the company I am with explained about confidentiality. What was expected, the boarders and boundaries. No issue there. A confidentiality agreement was given out for the Sales person to read. When he felt confident and at ease with it he could sign or leave.

Mean while the owner looked for drawing pins could not find them in the neat tidy and packed stationary cupboard, so requested they be found.  Took 1 second to walk there, 0.1 second to reach in and get them and 2 seconds to get them back to where the owners was showing those in the office the map if the state. A very brief overview was given. Some questions asked - others not. The map is now pined up where we all can see this out lined section.

While reading the new salesman got back to reading the confidentially agreement an old sales person turned up. The owner of the company hit the roof at every one. drumming into everyone's head confidentiality, demanding answers to questions only one person had obtained to information.

Finally that person had to leave as they had an appointment.

The new sales man asked other questions. Once again was told

• how he and the developing sales team fitted into the company.
• how the sales team levels re commissions was to work.
• who to give the paper work too the next morning so that back up support was able to be organised, given and sent through. 
• what the owners expectations are. 
• what four questions to ask prospective consumers. 
• who not to seek out to ask re becoming a consumer of the companies goods [ primarily as these consumers already were the companies consumers]
• that the company would expect to see him again at 0900hrs the following day.

Now we are all holding our breath waiting for tomorrow.  What a difference a day makes!
