Social Selling - An Introduction
Social selling is the process of developing relationships as part of the sales process. One can use different digital & social tools to engage the customer more during the sales process. So after all it's about understanding the customer better, instead of pushing your message with force. Welcome to 21st century selling.
Is The Way We've Been Doing Marketing And Sales Broken?
Here's how the traditional approach to marketing and sales works:
Step One. Get people to your website.
Step Two. Once people are on your website, get them to convert on a form.
Step Three. After they fill out a form, nurture them with emails and phone calls until they buy from you, unsubscribe, or even worse -- do absolutely nothing, forever.
Yes, I dramatically oversimplified the process, but stick with me for a minute.
Now that we laid out how traditional marketing and sales work, take a second and think about the way that you buy and behave as a consumer.
If you're anything like me, when you're thinking about buying something, I bet the last thing you want to do is fill out a form or talk to a sales rep.
You try to avoid those things at all costs. Because these days, we can find out just about everything we need to know before making a purchase, and many times, we can buy things or get the information we need without ever having to talk to sales at all.
But in our jobs in marketing and sales, we stick to those traditional methods. That's how we do marketing and sales every single day -- because that's how it's always been done. That's how everyone does it.
But there are already examples of companies that have broken the mold of traditional marketing and sales.
Companies like Slack, Buffer, Trello, MailChimp, Zapier, InVision, Shopify, Quip, and others. They let us buy things the way we want to buy them -- on our own time.
Want to try before you buy? Go for it.
Want to buy something without ever talking to sales? Great.
Have a question and need to talk to someone? Yep. You can do that, too.
As Shopify’s chief sales scientist Loren Padelford said about the future of sales: “Our job is to do what our customers want. Customers are in control of the sales process now. We need to customize to the customer process, not to the sales company process.”
Those modern businesses believe helping is the new selling. They believe that customer experience is the new marketing. And they've figured out how to have 1:1 conversations at scale.
We think that there are two paths forward for businesses from here:
1. They can stick to their guns, keep doing what everyone else has been doing, and wait for that threshold level to get higher.
2. They can follow the lead of those modern businesses and change the way they do marketing and sales to match the way that people actually want to interact with a business today.
And that's what we're talking about in this SlideShare -- the future of marketing and sales and why the current model is starting to break.

The leadership mirror
Sorry to be so blunt, but I’ve got a hard truth to share. We need to look in the transformational leadership mirror.
MOST LEADERS AREN’T LEADERS.
They are just the first in a long line of followers. Bold statement, right? Believe me, I don’t make it lightly. Before I explain, I want to share a story.
Sitting across from Juliana, a rising next-generation leader in her industry, I felt genuinely proud of her for her courage as a leader. Over the last month, she’d been sharing with me that she had struggled in dealing with an individual who directly reported to her. She had found herself constantly frustrated and having to push down her anger at having to “babysit” this individual in order to get them to meet deadlines. (We’ve all been there...right?) The subtle clench of her jaw as she described this individual’s behavior told us both there was something going on under the surface for Juliana...
Over the last month that Juliana and I had worked together, I’d asked her to examine why this person was so adept at getting under her skin (outside of the obvious issue of not meeting deadlines). Today, with a smile of relief and certainty Juliana announced, “This might sound crazy, but this person does exactly what my older brother did when I was a kid. He was constantly not following through on what he was supposed to do and I would have to cover for him and do it with a smile”
Something is missing...Do you know what it is?
People likely look at you and are often in awe of your achievements. However, you may secretly have a sense that you are capable of something far greater, you just might not be sure what that is (yet). You know something is missing though. I am blessed; over the past 34 years I have lived, studied, worked and ran businesses in many places including The UK, France, Holland, East Coast Canada, Australia, Asia, West Coast Canada and The US.
We have worked with leaders, executive teams, athletes, recording artists, actors, performers, directors, entrepreneurs, and many individuals with massive visions and equally massive hearts. We’ve assisted individuals and groups to not just 10X their income and success by more often than not 500% (and even 5000% in some cases). More importantly, though we have assisted these folks in finding that missing something that they suspected was within them. In reaching that, these individuals have created a life that is on purpose and deeply fulfilling.
Risk management for dreamers: You don't have to be afraid
It's always very positive and inspiring to hear from you and to know that my content is positively impacting you, your consciousness, your personal growth, and your willingness to take risks. So with that let me start off by saying a big “thank you” for all your wonderful comments, feedback and appreciation, I am filled with gratitude.
Leadership: The pain and pleasure of it all
Why do some become leaders while others remain followers?
One argument says that leaders are “born to lead,” while another claims that leadership is a set of skills, education, and experience that anyone can learn, given sufficient time, commitment and motivation.
Leadership transparency vs. exposure
Leadership Transparency Vs. Exposed Leadership...Do you know the difference? As leaders, we are facing a crisis because, unless you’ve been living in your mom's basement for the last decade or so, you will know that there’s a massively growing distrust of anyone in a leadership position. Nowhere is this more obvious than in government.
Psychopathic CEO's and the millennial comet
On a lovely sunny afternoon; two psychopathic leaders of the dinosaur world are out for a walk discussing a truce between the species; one of the dinosaurs is the leader of the Prosauropods , the other is the leader of the Raptor’s. As they walk along each telling the other how fabulous they each are, for some reason they stop for a moment to discus how cool it is that they rule the world. Then suddenly the bright sky goes dark, they look up to see that a giant spherical shaped rock with an equally gigantic tail of fire has blocked out the sun. Then BOOM!!! The world goes dark and they and all the other dinosaurs come to an end.
Is curiosity the powerful leadership strategy you left behind?
Find yourself standing on the edge of the park as the sun breaks through the clouds to light up the face of a small child. In a completely lucid moment, you notice something on that child's face you realize you rarely see an adults face.... You pay attention and you notice that both the child and the adult the child is interacting with are totally present and available. As a result of that vulnerability, they are joyful and what you see on that child's face is a state of pure wonderment.
Now for a moment think about yourself and ask: Are you in connection with the part of you that was/is still a joyful child? Do you know where that child part of you is? If you’ve lost that connection—and a lot, if not most, adults have—can you get it back? And the really big question—how do you reconnect with that joyful child?
Breaking bad leadership
“Have you been watching it?”
You could hear that question in Starbucks, in grocery lines, bars, at the water fountain, everywhere in the weeks leading up to the finale of Breaking Bad. Even those few people who
hadn't been watching what many have called “the best TV Drama ever” found themselves compelled to download and binge watch from the beginning!
What does it take to be a great speaker leader?
Picture the moment. It’s early Sunday evening. A lot of people were settled in front of their TV sets for the final numb-down of the weekend. But not where I was. The room I was in was filled with people bursting with the positive anticipation and excitement that accompanies a new beginning.
Zuckerberg leadership
He was depicted as a socially stunted, calculating and arrogant person in the movie, “Social Network”.
While those who personally know him say that he’s actually a charming, present, quick witted kind of guy.
As I’m sure you’ve already heard, Mark Zuckerberg was Time’s 2010 person of the year. This outstanding young man is the founder of Facebook and he’s the second youngest individual ever to be named Time magazine’s Person of the Year. And on top of that, he’s a 27 year old multi-billionaire.
The Power of Empathetic Leadership
I know you may have the title of leader, however that doesn't automatically make you one.
You must know this: You cannot lead those whose trust you have not earned!
Take A Stand!
As a Leader of Others and of Yourself, There Comes a Time, When You Must Take A Stand...
It is at that moment that you either decide to feed the drama or... walk away from it & people who create it.
When you take a stand, you either surround yourself with those who support your dreams or.... those who tear them down, (often in the name of love)...

Steve Jobs – Leadership Dinosaur?
When Apple's CEO Steve Jobs died, people left loving notes at every Apple store around the world. There was tremendous gratitude for the innovations and advancement Jobs had brought to our planet.
However, there was something else going on in direct response to Steve Jobs’ passing-- "The Canonizing Effect.”
Friends, Family and Facebook
I posted a status on Facebook that got some very interesting responses.
If you are on Facebook I'm sure you'll agree that Facebook in its self is a rather fascinating 'place' or phenomena.
No Hiding in the Quantum Field
I think you would agree that if you are going to truly claim your competitive edge you must become committed to learning and growth or you will quickly fall behind your own potential.
That being said, sometimes that learning and growth are not always in areas that we might normally be comfortable with.
Even so...
Gratitude and Guidance
I would like to share a story of how Gratitude and Guidance play into our lives...
It was almost a decade ago but I can still remember it because it was a wake-up call for me.

Is Agile dead? It depends on what you mean by 'Agile'. If you mean that the organizations are not getting the promised benefits because they were focusing too much on the team-level agile "ways of working" instead of systemic global improvements -- then we are in agreement. It is a misunderstanding of Agility that led us down a dead-end. At Org Topologies, we see bright sparks -- the signs of the 'second wave of Agile' as we call it. The emphasis is shifting towards both in-team and inter-team collaboration. Away from false dichotomies. Both: team autonomy and shared broad product ownership are required to sustain true result-oriented organizational agility. Org Topologies is a package offering a visual language plus thinking tools required to communicate org development direction and can be used to help design and then sustain org change aiming at higher organizational archetypes.

From Concept to reality : Implementing Lean Managements DMAIC Methodology for...
The Ready-Made Garments (RMG) industry in Bangladesh is a cornerstone of the economy, but increasing costs and stagnant productivity pose significant challenges to profitability. This study explores the implementation of Lean Management in the Sampling Section of RMG factories to enhance productivity. Drawing from a comprehensive literature review, theoretical framework, and action research methodology, the study identifies key areas for improvement and proposes solutions.
Through the DMAIC approach (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control), the research identifies low productivity as the primary problem in the Sampling Section, with a PPH (Productivity per head) of only 4.0. Using Lean Management techniques such as 5S, Standardized work, PDCA/Kaizen, KANBAN, and Quick Changeover, the study addresses issues such as pre and post Quick Changeover (QCO) time, improper line balancing, and sudden plan changes.
The research employs regression analysis to test hypotheses, revealing a significant correlation between reducing QCO time and increasing productivity. With a regression equation of Y = -0.000501X + 6.72 and an R-squared value of 0.98, the study demonstrates a strong relationship between the independent variables (QCO downtime and improper line balancing downtime) and the dependent variable (productivity per head).
The findings suggest that by implementing Lean Management practices and addressing key productivity inhibitors, RMG factories can achieve substantial improvements in efficiency and profitability. The study provides valuable insights for practitioners, policymakers, and researchers seeking to enhance productivity in the RMG industry and similar manufacturing sectors.

standard for comparing actual performance to established objectives and recommending practical
solutions that help the organization achieve sustainable growth. Therefore, the purpose of this
