Sales Training Summary - Sales Guru

Tom Merton/Caiaimage/Getty Images

Do you have a sales training plan for your sales team, or do you just give them some books to read and maybe set them up with a webinar or two? A training plan is an essential tool to confirm both that the sales team is learning what they need to know and that they aren't wasting valuable time on things they don't need.

In most cases, your salespeople will start the job with a grasp of the basic sales skills.

Your sales training program will build on those basic skills and also include company-specific training such as product knowledge, sales processes, and prospect qualification. Ideally, the sales training program is customizable for individual salespeople because they'll have different strengths and weaknesses. Sending everyone to a cold calling boot camp is great for salespeople who struggle with cold calling, but will have little effect on those who already possess strong cold calling skills. And first-time salespeople will probably need extra training on basic sales skills that the rest of the team has already mastered.

Before you can develop a sales training plan, you'll need to determine what skills are most important for your sales team. This list will vary from industry to industry and from company to company sometimes even from team to team. For example, inside sales teams will have little use for cold calling skills, while outside sales teams will find them crucial.

The sales teams themselves will be able to provide suggestions as to which skills are most useful for them. Don't forget to include company-specific skills, such as handling CRM programs.

Once your list is complete, sort it roughly by priority. The top few items will be the ones that are most important for training purposes.

Your training budget will determine how far down the list you can and should go, but the first items should certainly be addressed. If you have sales teams with different responsibilities, such as inside and outside teams, you'll need different priorities for each.

The next step is to compare this list to each individual salesperson's skill set. All salespeople have strengths and weaknesses in different areas. Some weaknesses will be low-priority, such as an inside salesperson with poor cold calling skills; but when a weakness occurs in a critical skill, training should be a priority.

You can uncover these strengths and weaknesses by analyzing your salespeople's metrics. Hopefully, you are already having your sales team track their metrics and provide that data to you. If not, you should institute a tracking system immediately. Tracking a salesperson's metrics will determine exactly where in the sales process his sales are falling apart, which will help to identify the specific sales skill that he's lacking. For example, if he's getting plenty of appointments but his closing ratio is dismal, the problem is related to his closing skills and that is where he needs more training.

If the whole team has a problem in one particular area, it can be worthwhile to send them all to a group training.

In other situations, individual training is probably the best option. However, customizing a training plan for each salesperson may be outside of the training budget. In that case, you may be advised to pick the most important sales skills from your list and train everyone in those skills using a group training program. This will be more time-consuming for your team but will usually be far less expensive. Another option is to assign a salesperson who is strong in one area to act as a mentor for a salesperson who lacks that skill. This won't cost you training money but will cost you in selling time for the mentor.

What is Self-Improvement?

The term self-improvement broadly refers to the act of improving yourself, but it can also be applied to a number of different topics. Self-improvement can include personal development in terms of leadership skills, goal setting, visualization skills, organizational skills, time management, and mind power. It helps us defeat negative thoughts that prevent us from believing in ourselves. It teaches us to convert our negative thinking into thoughts that empower and inspire us.

Self-improvement can help us make positive changes in all aspects of life. Here are some of the most important advantages of self-improvement:

Cameron Bennett Founder and CEO

For over 30 years Cameron Bennett has devoted his career to developing relationships with the mortgage industries most talented and respected professionals. Today, many of these men and women operate, or own and operate, some of the most successful mortgage companies in the industry.

Cameron has always been a visionary with entrepreneurial instincts. His first endeavor while still in high school was to successfully operate a small lawn care business. After attending college, Cameron recognized the growth potential of the mortgage banking segment of the financial services industry and became a recruiter and then manager at one of the top mortgage banking executive search firms in the nation. As he refined his entrepreneurial spirit, he went on to found his own executive search firm, Corporate Resources Group (CRG), in Orlando, Florida. As CRG grew and flourished in the industry, Cameron went on to co-found a billion-dollar mortgage banking company

During his successful career assisting mortgage professionals find their niche, Cameron recognized an important fact; while talented and hardworking managers are a critical part of any companys success, it is only by acquiring other successful companies that his clients could make rapid strides in exponentially growing the size of their companies.

As a result of this realization, Cameron established a new division within CRG which concentrates on helping companies seek out and then acquire other successful companies which have outstanding personnel and cultures. This division works closely with entrepreneurs who have grown successful mortgage companies and who have reached the point where they are ready to execute an exit strategy. This division focuses on the sale and acquisition of companies from 100 million dollars to 4 billion dollars in production.

Camerons many years as an owner and operator of a successful executive recruiting firm as well as other successful companies has given Cameron insight into the needs of companies, both large and small, in relation to managing and growing companies.

Camerons playbook has always included optimism and a passion for what he was doing. He is always questioning how things can be done better. In considering the possibilities of any particular move, he measures the risks and then takes the calculated steps to execute and deliver. In this he pushes the boundaries of individuals and companies and challenges each and every person to bring their best.

A story about religion, guns, militias, cults, wiretapping, fraud, murder and individual and communal sovereignty, Wild Wild Country couldnt be more timelyeven if the particulars of its story are crazily unique to itself.

Directors Chapman and Maclain Ways six-part Netflix documentary series (produced by Jay and Mark Duplass) recounts a truly insane episode in recent American history, which will be well-known to those who lived through it and, given that its since faded from the countrys collective memory, will likely stun those who didnt. No matter your familiarity with its subject, however, the Ways non-fiction effort functions as both an eye-opening expose and an even-handed (sometimes to a fault) look into a host of contentious issues Americans are still grappling with today, minusat least for most of usthe free-love orgies.

Capably assembled from hundreds of hours of archival footage, Wild Wild Countrys focus is the late Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, an Indian guru in flowing robes and sporting a Rip Van Winkle-style beard who, in the 1970s, created a New Age-y movement founded on ideas of peace, compassion and sexual inhibition. Many of his followers, known as sannyasins, came from the cream of the cultural crop, wore red clothes, and partook in meditation as well as other therapies involving lots of screaming, shuddering, and writhing about en masse. It was touchy-feely spirituality designed to spread across the globe and be easily marketable to consumers via retail books and international centers.

In 1981, having run afoul of Indian authorities, it relocated its epicenter to a 60,000-acre ranch in Wasco County, Oregon, right next to the tiny town of Antelope (population: 40), where it began construction on a city designed to be a paradiseand, also, a place where Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh could store his 19 (!) Rolls-Royces.

And the actions she took to maintain her coveted position beside Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh soon involvedpoisoning the surrounding populace in an act of bioterrorism.

Antelope was a tiny enclave made up of elderly Christian retirees who prized their solitude and tranquility, so the influx of red-robed sannyasins and their master, Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh (or Osho), wasnt exactly welcome. A battle soon began brewing, with ranchers and farmers on one side, and Bhagwan Shree Rajneeshs second-in-command, secretary Ma Anand Sheela (Sheela Silverman), on the other.

Sheela served as Bhagwan Shree Rajneeshs mouthpiece (since he went silent for a four-year stretch), and orchestrated the development of an independent metropolis known as Rajneeshpuram in Wasco County, replete with its own mail service and law enforcement. When long-time locals objectedincluding Bill Bowerman, the co-founder of Nikeand raised legal challenges to stymie this expansion, Sheela fought back by moving sannyasins into Antelope so they could take control of its municipal government through elections.

Then, she imported busloads of homeless people from around the country into Rajneeshpuram in an effort to further swell Rajneeshpurams ranks so theyd have enough voters to take control of Wasco Countys entire legislature. And when that plan failed, the surrounding area was suddenly, mysteriously struck by a plague of salmonella that made dozens violently ill.

Was this a case of a group exercising its constitutional rights to assembly, religion and representation, only to be persecuted by Christian bigots who didnt approve of peaceful others? Or was it a takeover by an invading sex cult that was exploiting (and outright breaking) American laws in order to establish its own sovereign New Age nation? Wild Wild Country leaves those answers to the viewers, providing equal access to both sides of the debate.

On the one hand are those like Bill Bowermans son Jon and the McGreers, who fought alongside Antelope mayor Margaret Hilland, later, those in the Oregon Attorney Generals officeto boot Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh and company out of the state. And on the other hand are sannyasin publicist Sunny, disciple Jane Stork, lawyer Swami Prem Niren, and Sheela herself, who in new interviews paint their saga as one of discrimination and oppressionand ultimately, according to Swami Prem Niren, as a tragedy.

At the center of this entire affair is Sheela, a young Indian woman whose slight built and cheery smile belied her ferocity. As Wild Wild Country elucidates, Sheelas dedication to her cause was second only to her lust for power. And the actions she took to maintain her coveted position beside Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh soon involved not only stockpiling an armory featuring more guns than were possessed by all of Portlands police, but poisoning the surrounding populace in an act of bioterrorism, wiretapping her fellow sannyasins (in the largest such case in U.S. history), plotting to bomb a courthouse and assassinate the U.S. attorney for the District of Oregon, Charles Turner, and having Stork carry out a (botched) hit on Bhagwan Shree Rajneeshs doctor.

Throughout, the filmmakers give Sheela and her former cohorts ample time to characterize Rajneeshpuram as an innocent, enlightened enclave (a shining model of diverse people living in blissful harmony!) that eventually took reasonable measures to protect itself from extinctiononly to be treated heinously by intolerant conservative Americans and the dastardly U.S. government. And to its credit, Wild Wild Country lets them raise a couple of not-unreasonable questions: Dont religious groups have the right to congregate, even in enormous numbers? And what prevents such collectives from seizing control of their regional governments via the ballot box?

Wild Wild Country allows its speakersSwami Prem Niren in particularto consistently cry victim while proclaiming (through moved-to-tears waterworks) the holiness of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh. The problem is, such arguments ring more and more false as we learn about the illegality, corruption and murderousness of the commune and its leaders.

In an effort to provide both sides of the story, the directorsespecially in late, slow-motion-drenched elegiac passages full of uplifting and/or mournful musicbuy too much of the pap being sold by the sannyasins. Their comments are often self-serving to the point of being laughable, and much of the happy-go-lucky video footage of life inside the commune is clearly propagandistic. Worse still, the Ways refusal to have Sheela now directly address her own wretched behavioreven after Stork has outright admitted on-camera that Sheela ordered her to kill Bhagwan Shree Rajneeshs physician with a syringe full of poisonmakes it feel like the directors are skirting obvious fundamental truths (and conclusions) in the name of objectivity.

No such equitableness, however, can obscure the fact that Bhagwan Shree Rajneeshs communeregardless of Antelope citizens prejudicesseverely violated the separation of church and state, and participated in a wide range of crimes that eventually led to its downfall (this after Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh himself had a falling out with fleeing-from-justice Sheela).

As a portrait of militant zeal and religious conflict, Wild Wild Country is a fascinating glimpse at the perils of fanaticism-run-amok and the contentious intersection between faith and freedomand its one that, in our current age of armed civilian slaughter and red state-blue state hostility, doesnt seem as far in the past as one might like.

Wild Wild Country premieres March 16 on Netflix.

Inside the Crazy Sex Cult That Invaded Oregon

Over the last year, there have been debates amongst mostly non-white vegans and non-white animal rights folks about how intersectionality has been co-opted by mainstream veganism and has lost its original intention and meaning. Furthermore, there is suggestion that intersectionality doesnt dismantle systems of oppression, it just shows how either social identities and/or struggles are connected (i.e., one isnt just Black, but that their Black identity is influenced by sexual orientation, gender, socio-economic class, ability, etc).

Why do I start with Intersectionality, despite there being a rising backlash against it by many non-white anti-racism activists (vegan and non-vegan)?

I start with intersectionality because most people in the USA do not have a literacy around reality beyond a one-dimensional approach. I cant just jump into Black Marxism or decolonial world systems analysis without using intersectionality as a bridge and a way to move beyond one-dimensional or binary ways of trying to understand history, politics, economics, the food system, law, etc. Most of my work over the last decade uses intersectionality but is not bound to it or limited by it; its one of many pedagogies I use (others areEngaged buddhism, Black Marxism, Decolonial World Systems Analysis,). I am employing Intersectionalitybecause I am getting ready to set up the next phase of action> which is to then decolonize and dismantle this current inequitable system.

I find that most people I work with or talk to cannot dive into decolonizing and dismantling this oppressive system that currently has existed for 500+ years (at least here in the USA) until I first begin with basic concepts that social-identities are not existing in a vacuum, void from being affected by and affecting a system. The goal is not to get stuck in swirling around in making a game out of howeverything is connected (i.e. intersectionality)without taking the plunge todismantle it;even if it means for many of the white racial status quo to give up their possessive investment in whiteness ( I mention the racial aspect of oppression first because I come from a critical race studies and anti-racism background as it relates to my ethical consumption scholarship and have written about possessive investment of whiteness within the ethical vegan movement).

Interestingly, I keep on seeing more and more non-white activists who are actively taking a stance against oppressive systems (namely white supremacy, racism, neocolonialism, and neoliberal capitalist) claiming that intersectionality cannot do true justice or create equitable systems since it does NOT seek to abolish the present inequitable system (i.e., its current co-opted framing doesnt eradicate white liberal possessive investment in whiteness despite intersectionality gaining popularity among white liberal identified crowd.)

So, how do I approach the end goal (dismantling the present exploitative neoliberal capitalist model of equality) without addressing that we dont live in a one-dimensional vacuum? Like I wrote earlier, I use intersectionality as one of the tools but not theonlytool. I start here with these steps:

I come from the camp of intersectionality as used by and mostly for the unique situation that Black women in the USA were in (and currently continue to be) when Crenshaw first coined the concept several decades ago (when it was nothip for white folk to use, period). For me, my engagement with Crenshawsintersectionalityis incontinuation of and part of the Black radical tradition and even Black Marxist roots I come from as thousands of Black women are aware that sexism, poverty, anti-black racism, white supremacy are a result of a CAPITALIST/NEOCOLONIAL arrangement of power, resources, rights, etc. Id argue thatour collective intersectionality isnotthe same as the one that is now hip and even lucrative for white mainstream businesses and organizations to employ.Its more like a cosmetic diversity add-on that is a faade and even used many times of cultural capital for those least likely to be negatively affected by systemic racism.

However, do I abandon intersectionality now just because it is being co-opted more and more by a status quo the uses it in a trendy way but still doesnt truly want to demolish capitalism and covert-systemic forms of white supremacy ?

RIP Intersectionality? Nah, I am not ready to bury it just yet.

30 Easy Vegan One Pot Meals - Vegan Heaven

Greetings! Sunnie and I have been very bad bloggers lately. I thought I would break the drought with a long, long overdue post, and a first of its kind on Vegan8Korean a product review!

One of the biggest challenges of being vegan and eating Korean is the kimchi. Youve got to have kimchi, but so often, the available kimchis in stores are not vegan they have shrimp or other sea animals in them. This isnt always the case, and you can find vegan kimchi, but things get even more complicated if youre trying to find kimchi that doesnt have msg in it either (seriously, why do we need that crap in our healthy, pro-biotic kimchi?!).

We were contacted by the good people at Granny Choes to see if wed be interested in trying out their kimchi. They are available in some stores, but not around here, and so they mailed us over three sample jars in a cold pack. You can buy their kimchi directly from them online, so this was a good opportunity for us to check out how their shipping process works too as they arent yet available in stores in our area.

As you can see in the picture above, their kimchi is actually labeled vegan! Right there on the label! You dont have to look at the ingredients to figure it out yourself what a brilliant concept! Right away we can tell these guys are onto something here. They also dont have msg or artificial preservatives in any of their kimchis. Youre getting legit, healthy kimchi from them.

The three samples they sent us arrived in a cold pack, and we received a jar of the traditional cabbage kimchi, a white kimchi (this is the traditional, non-spicy kimchi that was in Korea before the chili pepper was introduced and transformed Korean cuisine), and one of my very favorite kimchis, ggakdugi, radish cube kimchi.

The first kimchi we sampled was the traditional, cabbage kimchi. Sunnies mom and dad were visiting us (well, visiting their grandson but we were here too), and so we had some hardcore kimchi experts lending their opinions to our review.

Our conclusion yummy! This was a good, solid kimchi. It is definitely a more traditional kimchi, meaning that some kimchis you find in restaurants are quite young and not aged, which makes them less sour, but your traditional kimchi will have a bit of that sour flavor and bite to it and thats a good thing. We had that here and really liked it.

The second kimchi we tried was the white kimchi. Now this is a very mild, non-spicy kimchi. Sunnie loves this kind of kimchi, but Ive never been a big fan of it. I like it better if it is sauteed, which gives it an almost buttery sort of flavor, but otherwise, its a bit mild for me. I go more for big flavors.

However, Sunnie, being a fan of these kind of kimchis, liked this one best of our three samples. Her mom also was a fan of it. The two of them went through this jar pretty quickly, and it was gone first.

The final kimchi we reviewed is one of my favorite kimchis, ggakdugi radish kimchi. This is one that I seldom get because its hard to find a vegan version available locally, and we dont make it as often as we make our regular, cabbage kimchi.

Unfortunately, this one, while very pretty, was our least favorite amongst the three. The main issue was the texture was a little too soft. We want some bite and crispness to it. We were all unanimous in this. I dont know if the softness was from being too warm in shipping, aging (kimchi is probiotic so the bacteria continues to culture and the kimchi changes as it ages), or just preparation, but we definitely wanted more crispness (that being said, I still ate the whole jar).

So, many thanks to Granny Choes for letting us review their kimchi (and apologies for taking so long to get the post up). Its great to have a company making healthy, vegan kimchi available. Check out their website to see if their products are available near you or to place an order directly from them!
