It notes that 90% of objections are based on nonsense as prospects often object in order to end the conversation quickly since they don't see value in it. The natural reaction of asking why they object often backfires by strengthening their objection. Instead, salespeople should ignore the objection and ask open-ended, smart questions related to the prospect's business to prove expertise and steer the conversation productively. Examples show ignoring objections about budget or supplier satisfaction by asking how currency fluctuations impact the business. Preparing multiple such questions helps address follow-up objections and keep the discussion moving forward.

Na co si dát v Javascriptu pozor? - Barcamp Hradec Králové 2015angular-cz
JavaScript je jazyk, se kterým se všichni občas potkáme, ale ne vždy se chová tak, jak bychom očekávali. Na první pohled vypadá kód v JS podobně jako v jiných jazycích, ale výsledek jeho spuštění je často jiný. Pojďme si projít odlišnosti jazyka a konstrukce, které často působí problémy a nedorozumnění.

Study: The Future of VR, AR and Self-Driving CarsLinkedIn
We asked LinkedIn members worldwide about their levels of interest in the latest wave of technology: whether they’re using wearables, and whether they intend to buy self-driving cars and VR headsets as they become available. We asked them too about their attitudes to technology and to the growing role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the devices that they use. The answers were fascinating – and in many cases, surprising.
This SlideShare explores the full results of this study, including detailed market-by-market breakdowns of intention levels for each technology – and how attitudes change with age, location and seniority level. If you’re marketing a tech brand – or planning to use VR and wearables to reach a professional audience – then these are insights you won’t want to miss.
The document discusses different methods of communicating with clients and when each is appropriate. It recommends choosing a method that builds the client relationship rather than just being convenient. For routine updates, email or texts are fine, but clients should be notified to expect this. If a client question is unclear or complicated, a phone call is best to clarify quickly rather than an email exchange. Communicating inconveniently should be avoided, as should chronic procrastination, as this damages client relationships over time. The best approach is to discuss communication preferences with clients and use phone or video calls for important, complicated or anxiety-provoking matters.
The document provides tips for successfully dealing with a complaint by remaining polite and clearly defining your goal while being informed about company policies. It advises documenting all interactions and escalating the complaint to supervisors, corporate executives, or third parties if the issue remains unresolved. Companies seek to avoid legal battles or damage to their reputation, so persisting respectfully through multiple channels can help get a complaint addressed.
The document discusses effective strategies for communicating with clients. It emphasizes selecting communication methods based on building relationships rather than just convenience. For routine updates, email or texting is fine, but clients should expect phone calls for complex questions or bad news to avoid inefficient exchanges. The best approach is discussing communication preferences upfront and being available to clients to build trust and keep them informed throughout the case. Chronic avoidance can damage relationships and become procrastination, so lawyers should reflect on why they select inconvenient methods and seek help from assistance programs if needed.
Government contractors often go through four phases in relation to regulatory compliance: 1) ignorance of requirements, 2) denial that the regulations apply to their company, 3) looking for ways to evade the rules, and 4) finally accepting reality and taking steps to comply. Consultants find that contractors in the denial and evasion phases can be difficult to work with, as they disagree with the consultant and see them as bringing up rules just to be difficult. Eventually, after failing an audit or realizing the cheaper options were not as good, the contractors will come back ready to listen and proceed with compliance plans.
