Warehouse is a commercial building for storage of goods.
warehouses are used
by manufacturers, importers, exporters, wholesalers, transport busin
esses, customs, etc. They are usually large plain buildings in
industrial areas of cities and towns and villages. They usually
have loading docks to load and unload goods from trucks. Sometimes
warehouses are designed for the loading and unloading of goods
directly from railways, airports, or seaports. They often
have cranes and forklifts for moving goods, which are usually placed
on ISO standard pallets loaded into pallet racks. Stored goods can
include any raw materials, packing materials, spare parts,
components, or finished goods associated with agriculture,
manufacturing and production.
8. Value-Adding Operation
Warehousing increases the utility value of goods by providing a means to have the
right products available at the right place in the right time.
Economic Benefits
Warehouses provide a economies of scale through efficient operations, storage
capacity and a central location. Economic benefits are realized, for example,
through consolidation and accumulation operations.
Service Benefits
Warehouses can serve as part of a contingency plan to ensure outbound orders
are filled in full and on time. A practice called safety stocking allows businesses to
maintain a predetermined number of inventory items at its warehouse
10. Advantages of project management
Project management can bring many benefits to a business. Good
project management should:
reduce the chance of a project failing
ensure a minimum level of quality and that results meet
requirements and expectations
free up other staff members to get on with their area of work and
increase efficiency both on the project and within the business
make things simpler and easier for staff with a single point of
contact running the overall project
encourage consistent communications amongst staff and suppliers
keep costs, timeframes and resources to budget
11. what is sales and cold calling
A sale is the exchange of a commodity for money or service in return for money or
the action of selling something.
The seller or the provider of the goods or services completes a sale in response to
an acquisition, an appropriation or a request. There is a passing of title (property or
ownership) of the item, and the settlement of a price. A seller agrees upon a price
which he willingly gives ownership of the item. The seller, not the purchaser generally
executes the sale and it is completed prior to the obligation of payment. A person who
sells goods or service on behalf of the seller is known as salesman or saleswoman
Cold calling is defined as the solicitation of business from potential customers[
who
have had no prior contact with the salesperson conducting the call, therefore making
the call cold. Cold calling is used to attempt to convince potential customers to
purchase either the salesperson’s product or service. Cold calling is generally referred
to as an over-the-phone process, making it a source of telemarketing, but can also be
done in-person by door-to-door salespeople. Though cold calling can be used as a
legitimate business tool, scammers can use cold calling as well.
12. Advantages of telemarketing
The main benefit of using telemarketing to promote
your business is that it allows you to immediately
gauge your customer's level of interest in your product
or service. Additionally it allows you to do the
following:
provide a more interactive and personal sale service
create an immediate rapport with your customers
explain technical issues more clearly
13. Disadvantages of telemarketing
telemarketing can be resented - particularly when
dealing with business-to-consumer customers, and
when calls are made in the evenings
customer lists may not always be clean and opted-out
- this leaves you with a potential risk of breaking the
law
telemarketing has a negative image that could
damage your business' reputation - if carried out
poorly

Every work environment has its own unique distractions. From the noisy
work place to lure of the fridge/sofa/television. Hence every organization
has its very own distraction.
Here are seven excellent ways to increase workplace productivity:
Treat yourself well:
By treating yourself well, you’ll be better able to focus upon your work and
even limit the distractions in your workplace environment.
Treating yourself well doesn’t mean enjoying grand lunches and shopping
expeditions but rather eating breakfast, getting ample sleep, exercising
regularly, limiting your caffeine intake, drinking plenty of water, and
getting outside at least a couple of times a day.
Limit multitasking:
Multitasking seems like a skill every modern worker is expected to
possess, but countless studies show time and time again that multitasking
can actually limit productivity. Granted, there are times when you’ll need
to multitask but where possible, focus on one thing at a time.
25. Keep social media to a minimum:
Facebook, Twitter and even LinkedIn, are all distractions that prevent you
from concentrating on what you should be doing, and should be avoided.
Keep your desk neat and tidy:
Whether it’s the first thing you do in the morning or the last thing you do
in the evening before leaving your offices, make it a daily ritual to tidy your
desk. You’ve probably heard the saying ‘Tidy desk, tidy mind,’ and it’s true –
a tidy desk helps to clear the mind by aiding concentration.
Sort your email:
Depending on your job, email can become a distraction, especially if the
majority of emails you receive aren’t specifically for your benefit. It’s
important to arrange your inbox folders categorically.
26. If there is anything above skills, experience and education
that makes one a successful professional, it is ethics.
From responsibility to honesty, some values go a long way
in one’s career.
Professionalism is always respected. Yet, we sometimes
ignore many elements important for our growth.
28. All of our life, we wanted to “DO OUR OWN THING” to
market our value to anyone.
I’ll be honest, yes it’s all experience what we have all these
years & stepping out from under corporate umbrella on
our own feels just plain weird.
But if you have the interest and the availability, you could
do the very same thing.
29. SECRETS TO MARKETING YOUR VALUE TO ANYONE
In the Beginning: Yes it’s pretty stressful, but now you can say with
certainty what you are feeling.
What we all want: Others to value what we have to say & knowledge we
have. And if we can get paid for doing those things, then that’s the best of
both worlds.
Advice on Starting: For this you need to understand “What that is”, “How
you can position it” & “How you can get connected to clients”.
30. In theory there is no difference between theory and
practice. But In practice there is”
The actual execution of the HR strategy does not have
a guide and varies on organizational need, external
forces, culture and top management.
31. In today’s highly dynamic business environment, every
manager has to deal with new and complex challenges,
which do not have textbook solutions.
Hence, the employability of many entrants into the
business world, especially at the entry level, depends on
the litmus test of transferring the theoretical knowledge
into practice in the REAL world.
32. People hire people they like. So, while your skills
and experience are important elements to securing
a job offer, your ability to build rapport in an
interview is just as important.
The rapport you establish during an interview can
greatly impact the impression you leave behind.
33. Current Events On The Company: Look over the company’s website for
news event, It shows you have a sincere interest in the company.
Challenges of The Position And Challenges The Company Faces:
Clearly pointing out how you have experience in handling the issues, is an
easy way to show how you face problems and bring solutions.
Information about Your Contact: Preparing for the interview and what
you can offer to the company through your skills and experience.
34. Even though it is not literally a person, your
resume speaks. Loudly. It tells people everything
they need to know about potentially hiring you.
Say one of these four things and the answer is
likely to be “no:”
“I’m Boring”
“I’m Careless”
“I Don’t Know Where I’m Going”
“I Don’t Know When To Stop Talking”
35. “Why should we hire you?” This is actually one of the most
common questions asked at a job interview.
If you’re feeling upbeat and glad the question is being
asked, you’re at a good starting point because it is a
question that gives you the opportunity to specifically
inform the employer what you have to offer, why you
make a good fit, and continue to sell, sell, sell to seal the
deal to a job offer!
When answering this question, there are several things
you need to think about:
36. What do you have to offer that others can’t offer?
Knowing this, answer as to how you have faced these
challenges before and stress the results you have achieved.
Also think about not just the relevant experience and skills
you have to offer, but how those experiences and the skills
differ from what other candidates may be able to offer.
37.
Olivier Blum the Global Chief HR Officer at Schneider Electric started his career as a
Marketing Engineer. He strongly believes that an ideal competitive blend for HR would
be a mix of true HR professionals and people from business functions. Especially, when
the business conditions are changing with a month or three a business background will
help to make quicker decisions, as well as anticipate what is going on.
Globally, the biggest focus for HR will be to prepare the workforce for tomorrow with a
very strong focus on leadership and diversity across the organization.
Changing the dynamics of the workplace:
Evolution of digital technology in the last 10 years is the biggest example of the change
that the companies are providing its employees with. The new generations will not
readily accept a digital experience at work, which is distinct from what they have at
home, as employees want to access the same data and information through mobiles,
apps or other means. Hence the companies have to expand the range of digital
experience. The new batch of employees are more driven and looking for a more
transparent, diverse and accessible leadership. They do not follow the old traditional
hierarchy of leadership. This will push companies to make changes.
8- BUILDING THE WORK FORCE FOR
TOMORROW
38. Schneider strategies:
About 10 - 15 years ago, companies were using only the top leadership
to decide the future of the company, but this trend is now changing.
Young employees are included for almost everything. Senior employees
have other things that they do well. Younger generation must be included
while making future strategies. Schneider is still running successfully
because their leaders are true HR leaders. Everything that they do is
better because their leaders spend a big part of their agenda on the
people aspect. They fight more for the people than the customer at times.
Advice to other HR managers:
Mr. Olive’s advice to HR professionals is to care for their people and
take a genuine interest in them. The biggest capability he looks at when
hiring HR people is if they have a genuine interest in the people in their
own environment. This quality forms the basis of exceptional
performance in the future.
39. 1. Managers should have strong interpersonal skills.
Look for a manager who knows how to handle the different needs and
concerns of his team members. It is the responsibility of the manager to
keep his people motivated to come to work everyday and to be highly
productive.
2. Managers should be effective in doing goal-setting activities with
their team.
Each member in the team should feel like he is a valued member of the
company. This is why good managers should be able to effectively carry
out goal-setting activities with his team. He can conduct strategic
planning activities and team building activities to ensure that each
member’s goals is streamlined with the entire company’s goals.
40. 3. Managers should be able to properly assess the skills of each team
member.
Employees have different core competencies, skills, and talents that they can
contribute to the company. A good manager will be able to pinpoint these skills so
that he can help the employee further harness his potential.
4. Managers should be able to live by example.
A good leader should start by being a good follower. Excellent managers are those
who follow the company’s standards and bend the rules only if it is for the greater
good.
41. A man carries his success or his failure with him, it
does not depend on outside conditions. - Ralph
Waldo Trine
Accountability breeds response-ability. - Stephen R.
Covey
Accept responsibility for your life. Know that it is you
who will get you where you want to go, no one else. -
Les Brown
