This presentation is based on five trips to Turkey which I traveled to and worked in over many years providing vehicle sales and sales management training.
Over the years in Japan, I have worked for both large and small corporations. In spite of less expertise in many disiplines, I'm finding that small companies can be more competitive. They use SPEED as an advantage. Notice this presentation I put together to keep me on track as well.
The document summarizes a study of companies that had an IPO in 1980 and achieved $1 billion in sales. It found that: 1) One in 20 private companies submitted an IPO, with average initial sales of $170 million; 2) Of those that submitted an IPO, one in 20 reached $1 billion in sales, which is one in 400 companies overall; 3) Only 387 of the 7,454 companies studied (5%) achieved $1 billion in sales.
When should a company simply buy from other companies and resell the products? When should they produce by themselves? I present a costing presentation on this.
There is so much incivility today that the way to argue issues and achieve something has weakened. Therefore, I studied, applied and presented some concepts on how to argue. I hope this presentation is helpful to you.
Every week for the past several months I have been uploading presentations on my international business travels covering some of the over 70 countries I've been to. This is the final presentation in this series and the worst of all the trips. In spite of this tragedy, I continue to enjoy traveling globally. Have a look at the events in this presentation. If you'd like to know more about the hijacking, have a look at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c72aZ5UxbxA&t=3s
As so much technology comes from Europe, the total economy is so huge and each country has its own characteristics, I have traveled extensively there both on sales training projects and developing distributors in each country. This presentation is quite long, so pick the countries you are interested in and just have a look at them. Hopefully you'll find something interesting in them.
I have traveled to many cities in the United States, but over the past 15 years I have found some cities particularly impressive. From Nashville and its music to San Antonio and it river walk, I found some real adventures. Here are six cities I very much liked going to on business trips.

Here is my experience working in Australia and New Zealand. Those two countries have interesting contrasts and similarities to Japan. They have a wealth of natural resources, but Japan does not. They both have low populations for their land sizes, but Japan has a huge population. Japan and New Zealand have similarities in that they both have wonderful natural hot springs, are island nations and are very mountainous. Have a look.
Working in & Traveling to Southern South AmericaRon McFarland
If you think about it, the southern part of South America is the farthest place on earth from Japan, where I live. Therefore, if you travel there you much achieve as much as possible/trip. I usually made 1-month business trips there. It is an important region of the world though with Brazil in particular being a major global country. I have worked in Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina and Chile. I loved them all. Have a look at my travels there.
During my sales training days, I traveled to the northern part of South America several times, only one time to Colombia though. Those countries are very dependent on the production and export of crude oil, particularly Venezuela (95% of exports). We hear in the news of all the problems of civil war and the drug trade regarding Colombia, but actually I think it is the most industrialized among Venezuela, Colombia and Ecuador. Also, Colombia has a good educational system and is one of the most biodiverse countries in the world. I've enjoyed my travels there. Have a look.
Last week, I mentioned traveling in Central America. Although very close, the Caribean is very different. They countries are mostly tourism based, but there are very important raw materials in the region. Also, they have a mixture of some countries having a British colony history and others having a Spanish colony history. Mostly, it is a region to relax and have fun it. Here are my travels to Jamaica, the Dominian Republic, Puerto Rico, Barbados and Trinidad & Tobago.
Here are my travels to Central America. Each (Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama) are different. They all have a charm about them. I mainly gave light-duty truck sales seminars in that region. I hope you enjoy the tour.
About six months ago, I mentioned the importance of globalization to the world's economy. But, how does a company form a business strategy in the current environment? Have a look at the attached. Toward the end of the presentation are specific strategies to take. I hope it generates some business ideas to explore.
Over the years, I've worked in the Canary Islands, Malta, Cyprus and Israel. The Canary Islands was the stopping point of Columbus on his way to discover America. It is part of Spain today and is a tourist destination for Europeans. Malta too is a tourist spot. Interestingly, it has its own language (Maltese) and culture. Cyprus is divided between Greek Cyprus and Turkey. It too is mainly at tourism economy. Israel is the holy land with all the Western religions represented there. All are wonderful places. I worked there mainly giving seminars on pick-up truck and RWD vehicle selling. I hope you enjoy the slides.
West Africa is a region rich in natural resources from oil, to diamonds, to gold and a wide range of agricultural products. Unfortunately, it has a reputation for being the center of the slave trade in the 1600's to 1800's. The region is both English and French speaking. I traveled through that region many time, mostly to Ghana which is English speaking. Here are some slides of my vehicle training work in that region.
East Africa is where us humans originally came from. It is also where coffee was first discovered. I also has a wealth of natural resources. When I traveled through there, I found it the game park center of the world. I loved my business trips there not only for the beautiful animals and scenery but the people and cultures there as well. Have a look.
Between the 1990's and early 2000, I traveled and working in Northern Africa. I felt that that region was more like the Middle East than Africa though. I'd been to Morocco several times, one time to Tunisia and many times to Egypt. It is a region rich in natural resources which it is why it is so important for industrialized countries. Have a look at these slide to give you a feeling for the region. The region has politically greatly than when I was there though. I found wonderful people there.
Ron took his first trip abroad in 1972, traveling from Israel to Europe. He visited several major cities, including a city known for classical music, German-speaking cities where he used English, and a French wine region. The trip ended with a visit to Waterloo, where Napoleon was defeated, before returning from his first journey through Israel and Europe.
This document lists 15 places with percentages of foreign population next to each one. The percentages range from 30% to 87%, with most places having over 50% foreign population. Overall, the document appears to be listing places visited in the Middle East Gulf States and providing data on the foreign population percentage in each location.
The document provides guidance on developing an active sales force through effective management of the selling process. It discusses the responsibilities of sales managers in ensuring salespeople know what to do, how to do it, and creating an environment where they can focus on selling. The document also covers organizing and recruiting the right salespeople, including interviewing, evaluating candidates, and creating job descriptions. It emphasizes the importance of training salespeople on products, selling processes, and conducting field training with managers. The overall message is that managing the selling process and developing salespeople is key to achieving sales volume and market coverage goals.
In the first business management class I took in California in the late 1960's, the professor said that a manager can delegate authority but can never delegate responsibility. The manager always remains responsible. I think that is still true today and is still something many managers don’t fully understand.
We all know organization charts where the president is at the top. He develops company objectives and passes them down to department managers. The department managers then pass assignments down to the staff in their departments. That is the normal flow.
Imagine taking that organization chart and turning it upside down, where the president is at the bottom. He must provide support up to all department managers, so they can successfully achieve their objectives. Also, the department managers must support their staff in achieving each task assigned. This support is often forgotten. Have a look at this presentation I prepared on this subject. It is so often forgotten.
How often have you desired to change a bad habit, but could not? Whether personal or within whole organizations, habits form. How do we change them? In organizations, how can you change the environment to encourage habit modification? After studing this, I have learned it all comes down to desire and identifying and modifying "triggers". If you analyze the environment in which a habit occurs you can put in an advance strategy to change it when the urge comes. I have successfully made changes using the advice in this presentation. I hope it gives you ideas too.
Although my background is in sales, sales training and marketing, I have been influenced by production processes in two ways. One is fighting for deliveries for my customers. Another was working on a production set-up project in China for a customer several years ago. Through those experiences, I learned a great deal about process efficiencies and prepared material on it in this presentation. Have a look at it. Maybe there are some ideas in it that would be helpful in our processes.
For dying companies in dying industries, part-2Ron McFarland
This is the second part of a 2-part presentation. Just like the first part, it offers suggestions to help a declining company survive, even if it is in a declining industry. You might find what I call a good competitor and bad competitor interesting with the attitudes as to what is correct and not correct behavior in the US Presidential election (slides 24-28). Armed with knowing which your competitors are, you can plan your strategies. Also, looking at your supply chain, exploring where you should find partners is interesting. I hope they get you thinking.
For dying companies in dying industries – needing a turnaround strategyRon McFarland
If you see no future in your company or industry, I might be helpful. I have run into this problem in the past and researched what could be done. I found activities and strategies that could be helpful. I learned so much that one presentation would overwhelm anyone. Therefore, I prepared the presentation in two parts on this subject. Have a look at this presentation. It is the first of two. I’ll upload the second part in a week or two.
Review the suggestions and decide what would be most helpful for you. Then, prepare and action plan using a Gantt chart with activity start and finish targets. Some could take just a few months, others years. In any case, they will get your company moving in the right direction.
These ideas have turned many struggling organizations. I hope they generate some ideas as to what can be done.
When I was giving sales training I found it difficult to get sales people to follow an active selling process to generate more sales when times were good. They simply didn’t have to work that heard. When a recession came, they had to get more active, as the customers where no longer just walking in and placing orders. That is when my seminars were the most fun and effective. Therefore, I LOVE RECESSIONS. There are methods for businesses to be very successful in recessions, so I am not alone in loving them. Have a look at this presentation that others have followed. These are just a few of the effective things you can do during economy downturns. They can even be quite enjoyable. I found them to be.
Better Communication for Global BusinessRon McFarland
Japanese people have often told me they don't communication very well globally, particularly in English. Also, when I was giving overseas sales seminars, I noticed that communication was a problem, as many of the sales people did not have much education, and to make things worse, their first language was not English. Therefore, I used a lot of visual aids in all of my presentations. I have noticed my global communications have improved greatly as well. I studied how to be more persuasive global through these visual aids and prepared suggestions on it. Have a look at this presentation. It my benefit you as well.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
