Welcome To Work & Live Smart

I am sure all of us believe in having a work life balance.
Why not share it, learn from it and move on....afterall it is having fun and passion in doing, knowing and learning along the way that makes life's experiences worthwhile.
Have a great time here sharing but as usual...no obscene or controversial stuff.

Why Some People close Sales So Easily

More often that not, we see many successful sales person closing sales rather easily compared to others. Why is that So?
Are sales people 'born' or 'made'? Is it skills, knowledge, common sense or purely determination?
What do you think?

How often than not we hear people say some of the things like-

1) The quality of sales lies in the sales person
2) Great sales people never give up
3) He is able to close purely on 'who he knows' and not what he knows or has to offer
4) Pricing is never an issue, it is how you package or pitch it
5) Packaging and presentation is the most important in sales
6) We do not have a "wow'product
7) People are not interested or need it
8) The timing is not right or no budget
9) and many many more...

Effective vs. Efficient

Being “efficient” means “doing the job right” and that is important

Being “effective” means “doing the right job” and that is critical

Being effective is far more important than being efficient

The first job of the manager is to continuously ensure that the Team is working on the right job

So are you doing the right job or doing the job right?

Create Passion in your work


"The best way to escape a job you don't like is to excel at it."

Celebrate Sucess

"Celebrate yesterday's success, but never at the expense of today's opportunity."

How often than not have we done that by stealing people's ideas or success? Though unethical but many have done it. Why not share and celebrate success with those that gave you the opportunity?

Selfish Employees or Bad attitude ones

Employees and fellow colleagues today seem to care less on what happens outside of their departments or parameters. Thus creating more 'silo' effects on the organisaiton. Same applies for individuals who shut themselves away from their nieghbours and their communities. If their act purely selfish or bad attitude? Not wanting to learn, help, share or engage with others will not promote good teamwork, network and community among peers and the neighbourhood. But as some 'staff' are so called ' indispensible' to the bosses, they get their way. So how do we deal with it? Do we create competition to make them feel replaceable or do we start putting up consequences for non compliance or participation?
