Never Hire a Bad Salesperson Again (eBook Edition)SalesDrive, LLC
Underperforming salespeople are perhaps the greatest cause of frustration to sales executives and financial loss to business owners. The cost of hiring and keeping a bad salesperson can range from six to seven figures annually. To make matters worse, many companies waste money by trying to train sales skills in people who will never improve.
Research shows that the most important factor for success in sales is a person's Drive – the inner fire that ultimately determines if he or she will thrive or fail. This critical trait is hardwired by adulthood, and cannot be improved with sales training. The job interview process must accurately evaluate Drive to identify those with this core personality trait.
Research also shows that Drive is one of the toughest traits for interviewers to rate and one of the easiest traits for candidates to fake. To make matters worse, many sales managers hire based on gut instinct. Thus, they are severely disappointed later. This book, Never Hire a Bad Salesperson Again, provides:
-Psychological research behind the three elements of Drive: Need for Achievement, Competitiveness and Optimism
-A valid hiring process for selecting top performers
-Interview questions to accurately determine whether a candidate is Driven
A look at all four levels of marketing from ABM to BM to Marketing Director up to VP/CMO. Advice from a Senior Executive on what it takes to be a great assistant brand manager and a great brand manager. It's a great career and I hope some of the information can inspire you to be as great as you can.

Brand Me INTRODUCTION Why is a goal by Beckham enjoyed.docxhartrobert670
Brand Me
INTRODUCTION
Why is a goal by Beckham enjoyed more than a goal by any other player? Does the answer lie
only in the talents possessed by these individuals or something beyond that? Do these
personalities “brand” themselves and consciously do or refrain from doing things that affect their
brand image? A BRAND may be defined as a name to which a set of associations and benefits as
become attached in the consumer's mind. This name could be that of a product, a service, a
corporate entity or even an individual. There are numerous examples of people who have
become brands. Internationally, numerous names across industry sectors and occupational
profiles come to mind including Madonna, Armani, Michael Jackson, Tiger Woods, Michael
Jordan, Richard Branson, and Mother Teresa, etc. In the business arena it is a widely accepted
fact that dynamic CEO’s become intrinsically linked to the companies they represent. (E.g. Jack
Welch, Lee Iacocca). As such it is important not only for a company to brand its offerings but
also its people and its leader. This essay is to help you branding yourself and understanding the
concept behind “Brand Me.”
THE PERSONAL BRANDING PHILOSOPHY
Personal Brand - A personal identity that stimulates precise, meaningful perceptions in its
audience about the values and qualities that person stands for. It was branding guru Tom Peters
who started the personal branding movement with an essay that appeared in Fast Company in
1997 under the title “The Brand Called You.” Peters wrote, “Regardless of age, regardless of
position, regardless of the business we happen to be in, all of us need to understand the
importance of branding. We are CEOs of our own companies: Me, Inc. To be in business today,
our most important job is to be head marketer for the brand called ‘You.’”
Peter Montoya, author of The Brand Called You, believes the key to personal branding is
knowing how you are perceived by others. Montoya writes, "Personal branding lets you control
how other people perceive you... You're telling them what you stand for -- but in a way that's so
organic and unobtrusive that they think they've developed that perception all by themselves.…
When done right, it's irresistible.” (Personal Branding Press, 2002).
Just like companies brand their products to create some unique associations in the minds of the
target consumers, personal branding also involves the creation of strong, unique and favorable
associations in the minds of the people around. But unlike products which have a conscious
marketing program to build and maintain brand values, personal brands are built unconsciously.
Even if a person does not play any role in branding himself, others will automatically create
some associations about him depending on his nature and habits. Therefore one should play an
active role in creating a brand for oneself.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.
