327 Build Your Team In Japan 10:43

4d ago10:43

10:43

Teams are fluid. People move or leave and new people join. Targets go up every year. The compliance and regulatory requirements become more stringent, the market pivots and bites you, currency fluctuations take you from hero to zero in short order. Head office is always annoying. There are so many aspects of business which line up against having a …

You Can’t Do It All By Yourself 13:13

11d ago13:13

13:13

The hero’s journey is for the very, very few. I did it my way, I slaved away in a garret and got to the top, I realised the American dream – all good stuff, but an illusion for most. The reality is there are more of us who need the cooperation of others, than those who can succeed despite others. The age of the “one” has been taken over by the age …

326 When To Say "No" To The Buyer In Japan 10:20

18d ago10:20

10:20

Normally, as the seller, we are getting told “no” in sales, rather than the other way around. When salespeople become desperate to hit their numbers, they start to do crazy things. They start telling lies to the buyer, they exaggerate the scope of the solution, they savagely discount the price, they overpromise on the follow-up, they agree to horre…

325 Your Good Old Days Stuff Is Dull 10:42

25d ago10:42

10:42

Gaining credibility as a speaker is obviously important. We often do this by telling our own experiences. However, having too much focus on us and away from the interests of the audience is a fine line we must tread carefully. When we get this wrong, a lot of valuable speaking time gets taken up and we face the danger of losing our audience. They a…

324 The Younger Generation Are A Handful 10:35

1M ago10:35

10:35

We are on the cusp of a change amongst youth in Japan.

323 How To Reply To The Buyer’s “No” 10:36

1M ago10:36

10:36

What are the chances of getting a “no” to your offer in sales? Probably around 70% of the time, this is what we will get. Given that type of frequency and hit rate, you would think that salespeople would be masters of dealing with this type of response. You would be wrong. The chemicals kick in and sales people lose all reason. I was reminded of th…

322 Structure Counts In Presentations 9:48

2M ago9:48

9:48

It is a bad sign when a presentation makes me sleepy, especially if it is at lunch time. It is very common to have speakers address a topic over a lunch to a group of attendees. After lunch, you might explain away a bit of the drowsiness, but during the lunch is a warning sign. The speaker had good voice strength, so nobody was struggling to hear h…

The Easy Way Of Selling 12:49

2M ago12:49

12:49

The object of a sale is to exchange a good or a service for money. The degree to which that money can exceed the variable and fixed costs associated with delivering it, determines the success and longevity of the company. We all know that nothing happens in business without a sale. If that is the case then salespeople have a critical role to produc…

The Power Of Rhetorical Questions 13:14

2M ago13:14

13:14

Questions in general are powerful tools for speakers. They bring focus to key points we want to get across. They are particularly useful in getting our audience engaged.

Leaders Who Have R.E.A.L. 11:17

2M ago11:17

11:17

We love acronyms! Our workplaces are thriving with them such that we can hold extended conversations composed entirely of seemingly impenetrable codes. They are handy though and this one R.E.AL. is short and serviceable to describe best practice leadership attributes. It always good to have evidence around pontification. This summary of the great a…

Project Team Leadership 11:39

11:39

Projects are too common. Because of this we take them for granted, seeing them as part of everyday work, but we don’t approach them properly. We usually gather the team together and then dive straight into the details of the project, without really applying a professional approach. We certainly don’t apply as much planning expertise to the task as …

Zen study is a way to strip out all of the non-essentials in life. The noise, the distraction, the things that are not so important.

Projects have been around for a long time of course and in the modern era we have accumulated a vast amount of best practice on how to manage them.

Japan is merciless with salespeople. When you call the client’s company everyone is doing their absolute best to make sure you don’t get to talk to the boss. They won’t tell you their name, they don’t offer to take a message for you, the whole vibe is “get lost”. If you don’t know the precise name of the person you want to speak with, then the wall…
