What's More Important: The Product Or The Customer?
"Hi Tori, prejudging potential customers is one of the biggest mistakes any salesperson can make and this can be an even bigger factor when it comes to selling between the sexes. This point can also be extended to hiring. I previously convinced a client (large car dealers) to hire a female salesperson into what had previously been a male only team. Within a few short months, she was one of the top performing reps. The reason, she naturally understood one half of the customer base much better than the existing reps. As logical as this is, how many female car sales people have you come across?"The Content Is King Myth
"This is fantastic! You give some of the very best blogging lessons around. I've never truly believed in the contents is king philosophy but have as of yet to express this as eloquently (or practically) as you have above. From reading your posts including http://bloggertone.com/marketing/2010/10/11/the-right-way-to-market-with-blog-comments/ I'm starting to see that blogging requires 4 Cs Content, Context, Consistency & Community. Another great post on blogging, your experience shines through. Well done! - Niall"The Mindset Of An Entrepreneur
"Love it Elaine, more please! This video ties in well with your post and is from a guy called Cameron Herold where he explains why education and often parenting fail to nurture our entrepreneurial side. Its well worth a watch and really makes you think http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nx3GuO41Jyg"Please, Give Me The Truth And Treat Me Like A Human Being
"Hi Lewis, great great post! I've had the misfortune of seeing this from the other side, in other words I was once the gangly awkward suit and tie that knocked your door. It's worth remembering that young people are impressionable, want to be successful and are often just cast aside if they don't match up by these companies. I've sat in meetings that could be best described as cult indoctrinations. Customer facing/dealing roles are most often the worst trained, worst paid and highly targeted roles within an organisation, which should tell you what you need to know about most businesses view customer service. As you point out, there are some wonderful exceptions. I recently had one in Lidl where after forgetting my wallet, the lady at the till showed wonderful understanding and patience to help ease my embarrassment. I thought to myself afterwards, now there is someone I’d like to know. "5 Reasons Why Your Business Is Not At Square One
"These are all needed reminders! Recessions create vast opportunities, change is rampant and markets become ripe for new products, new services and new ways. Jump on this wave, listen, learn, innovate and position your business as one that will take full advantage."What Makes An After Action Review Successful
""It must be clear going into the After Action Review that the purpose is to focus on learning, and not on finding a scapegoat" Great advice! analayse the process and not the people. I believe that accountability is important which means for me taking responseability for one's own actions/involvement. This needs to be encouraged rather than demanded. "Subscribe

Business Networking And Culture Clash
"Very interesting post Elli, thanks for sharing. There was an interesting conversation taking place about the Irish Diaspora last year (now called Global Irish), unfortunately the starting point to this conversation was "what can the diaspora do for us?" surely this is reason why this conversation and the ideas around it will fail? Had the conversation/ideas started with “what can Ireland (the island) do for the Irish (global)?” the potential of the conversation and the outcomes is entirely different. Our networking style is all about what can those we network with do for me? It's one-dimensional, selfish and contains only one perspective. Until this changes, we will continue to be mediocore networkers at best what ever our natural social skills. Perhaps the greatest legacy of the Celtic Tiger is not the banks our the property bust but the way in which it is turned our collective perspective?"
