While follow up takes more time and effort than a one call close, it is necessary to fully pursue sales opportunities and insist that prospects recognize the value the salesperson's product or service provides.

This document discusses the difference between being a "Sales Manager" versus a "Salespeople Manager". A Sales Manager spends most of their time (90%+) chasing business themselves rather than growing their team. This stretches them thin and prevents them from maximizing their team's potential. A Salespeople Manager, on the other hand, spends equal time (50-50) growing their team through selecting, assessing, focusing on strengths, noticing achievements, and investing in their people. By transitioning from a divider of work to a multiplier of their team's talents, the manager can watch their business take off as their people are activated and revenue is built on the skills of the team rather than one person.

Designing and Sustaining Large-Scale Value-Centered Agile Ecosystems (powered...Alexey Krivitsky
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...Rokibul Hasan
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.
Impact of Effective Performance Appraisal Systems on Employee Motivation and ...Dr. Nazrul Islam
Healthy economic development requires properly managing the banking industry of any
country. Along with state-owned banks, private banks play a critical role in the country's economy.
Managers in all types of banks now confront the same challenge: how to get the utmost output from
their employees. Therefore, Performance appraisal appears to be inevitable since it set the
standard for comparing actual performance to established objectives and recommending practical
solutions that help the organization achieve sustainable growth. Therefore, the purpose of this
research is to determine the effect of performance appraisal on employee motivation and retention.

4. • Build credibility in everything we do.
“In any relationship there is a bucket of good will. Doing what you
say or more than you say fills the bucket, missing commitments or
making mistakes empty the bucket. You have to fill the bucket early
in a relationship…” - Former FlatStack Client
• Focus on early wins and showing velocity.
• Attention to details matters! Make the extra effort early on to show you
care and it will pay off over the long-term.
• Ask questions that go beyond your immediate concern and try to
understand their goals and their challenges.
5. • Consistency of Communication Matters
“Nature abhors a vacuum. When I don’t hear anything that vacuum
gets filled with fear and paranoia when a simple “looking into it”
would put my mind at ease.” - Former FlatStack Client
• Don’t wait until tomorrow to communicate. Even if it’s just “I’m looking
into and will follow-up in more detail”, hearing something is ALWAYS
better than hearing nothing.
• People respond positively when they feel they are being treated honestly.
If you don’t know the answer, say “I don’t know, but I will find out for
you.”
6. • Don’t commit to things we don’t believe are possible.
“My goal with sprint planning is to honestly assess what can be done
on a consistent basis so that we can plan our business on a reliable
foundation.” - Former FlatStack Client
• You can be honest and aggressive in your planning. Push the limits in an
open and honest way.
• If there is a disagreement on a client’s estimation of a task and ours,
always get to the “why”.
7. • When we do commit to things, then we have a responsibility
to deliver on that commitment.
“I know there is too much to do and not enough time…and honestly I
don’t expect the team to commit to everything I ask for, but when
they do commit to something, I expect it to happen.” - Former
FlatStack Client
• Over promising and under delivering diminishes our credibility.
• Every time we deliver what we say, we earn trust. The more trust we have
with a client, the more freedom we have to take leadership, make
recommendations, and focus on what we care about…building great
products!
8. !
• Daily Scrum reports are a tool, they are not a replacement
for direct communication.
• QA is everybody’s job. If possible, take a minute to make sure
our work passes the immediate “eye test”.
• Be authentic. Everyone has a different personality, so let yours
show.
• Help each other. If you are struggling with a client, talk about it
with the other managers or ask me or Abigale.
• Always keep an eye out for ways to improve. Whether it’s our
team or with an individual client look for ways to improve.
