This speech provides guidance for a sales training presentation to inspire salespeople to succeed in selling Toastmasters membership. It outlines objectives to inform the audience about the buyer-seller relationship and use stories and examples. It recommends selling Toastmasters by finding prospects' needs, gaining their confidence, selling the solution, anticipating objections, and closing the sale. It also addresses common objections people may have and emphasizes that all members can help Toastmasters grow.
Asking effective questions is vital to success in recruitment. Questions engage prospects, build rapport, gain valuable information, allow the recruiter to control the conversation, understand candidate needs, control the direction of listeners' thoughts, and persuade. Recruiters cannot close positions without asking questions to uncover clients' and candidates' problems, goals, and what is important to them. Practice asking more questions to improve communication and results. Questions should be both high and low order, as well as convergent and divergent, to obtain different types of information.

There are also some examples of good interview questions at the end.
Darren Toms provides coaching on how to turn bad news into cash. The document outlines that when faced with bad news, people typically react in unhelpful ways by focusing on what happened rather than what can be done. It recommends asking better questions focused on opportunities like "What do I want to be happening?" and "Who can help?". Positive thinking alone does not work; a different mindset is needed to grow from challenges rather than just protect oneself. Darren Toms Coaching can help businesses and individuals develop leadership, problem-solving skills, and an attitude focused on aspirations and opportunities rather than limitations.
1. Customer discovery involves listening to customers without selling to understand key aspects like the size of the market, who the customer is, and how their needs are currently met.
2. It should be led by company leaders and involve asking open-ended questions to let the customer guide the conversation without pushing an agenda.
3. The primary goal of initial interviews is to test whether customers care about the problem by understanding their current experiences and solutions.

An IOT gateway Architecture using an MQTT bundle transport & LTP Convergence ...Alex Kritikos
In the last 30 years, messaging middleware software (MOM) has been offering store and forward services by decoupling senders (publishers) and receivers (subscribers) while offering various levels of QOS and transport protocol options. As hardware options became multi-core and with the aid of developments in Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), Event Driven Architecture (EDA) and cloud computing, a plethora of MOM products have emerged most of them based on the popular publish-subscribe paradigm. This has also led to standardisation efforts both at the API level (JMS) or the transport protocol level (MQTT, AMQP) and an ever increasing developer user base.
The majority of today’s IOT architectures involve a gateway node that bridges sensor/field networks with the internet. This is typically done either by using the consumer internet subscription or by leveraging new long range WAN technology such as SigFox and LoRa. In the majority of real world cases, the gateways use advanced software to buffer / support back pressure, an unavoidable result of the network diversity and intermittent connectivity of IOT and mobile nodes.
In an effort to find a killer application for DTN that is immediately useful and based on technology available today, we have researched an IOT gateway architecture that acts as a bi-directional convergence layer between MQTT events and RFC 5050 Bundle protocol packets. This allows existing MQTT based sensor applications to leverage DTN services without the need to make any code modifications. At the same time, the approach allows the definition of alternate DTN based routing paths between the gateway and the accompanying data ingestion cloud services, without being restricted from the typically tiny routing table size. Geographically dispersed such gateways can now also provide routing services for each other by further converging over Licklider Transmission Protocol (LTP) for all or a subset of the messaging namespace payloads. Finally the cost of data ingestion from occasionally connected field networks is greatly reduced due to the simplicity of developing applications for them.
The document describes an OSGi IoT Demo and Contest being held from November 3-5, 2015. Key points include:

Володимир Шиманський “Роль спільноти і OpenSource в IoT бізнесі” {R0boCamp} Lviv Startup Club
This document summarizes a presentation on community and open source for IoT. It discusses typical IoT solution stacks including edge devices, gateways, and cloud services. Major drivers of open source for IoT are noted as velocity of innovation, interoperability, avoiding lock-in, and developer communities. Examples of open source IoT platforms, tools, and projects are provided such as Blynk, Node-RED, Apache NiFi, and HiFive 1. Trends in IoT growth and challenges are also highlighted.
Gateways are essential components in IoT systems. Apart from providing network access to the leaf nodes, they can also run applications. This is important to reduce response time, network traffic, keep sensitive data within local boundaries and keep the system up even if the network is down. Home gateways, industrial field agents, on board units and roadside stations are examples for gateways.
Application development for such gateways is hard. Since gateways tie together hardware and network resources, developers need a broad set of skills to begin with. Development is further complicated since applications must work autonomously, managed remotely and handle the incoming streams of events. To solve these challenges, we have developed Reactive Blocks, a tool to create applications from building blocks. Blocks can encapsulate protocols, hardware access and application patterns. This leads to increased reuse, enables automatic code generation and automated checking of designs.

The gateway hardware includes the mbed module, wireless modules, Ethernet, microSD card, and comes preassembled in an enclosure. It can currently transmit sensor data to Pachube and MQTT and future work involves expanding its capabilities.
Blueprint for creating a Secure IoT ProductGuy Vinograd ☁
What is the right way to authenticate IoT devices? What is Security-First software design? What design patterns can comply as HIPAA? Those questions and more will be answered in my presentation.
This document discusses turning a consumer WiFi router into an intelligent IoT gateway using OpenWrt. It describes adding capabilities like MU-MIMO, Bluetooth Low Energy, and Thread mesh networking by installing software and upgrading hardware as needed. Example applications are discussed, like a "Spook House" smart lighting system that monitors light usage and detects deviations using machine learning algorithms. The goal is to provide an open, interoperable platform for horizontal IoT applications.
The LAMP (Linux/Apache HTTP Server/MySQL/PHP) stack has dominated web infrastructures, in the IoT it is believed a similar open source stack will dominate IoT deployments. This presentation will look at the new technology requirements and architectures required for IoT solutions. It will identify three stacks of software required by any IoT solution, and finally present how open source communities, such as the Eclipse IoT community, are already supplying the critical software technology needed by IoT solution providers.

OSGi -Simplifying the IoT Gateway - Walt Bowersmfrancis
OSGi Community Event 2015
Why do IoT gateways have to be so difficult? Currently the fragmentation, complexity, and potential lock-in of the gateway make picking an IoT gateway solution appear difficult. Add to that developer integration challenges and the gateway picture seems overly complex. Enter OSGi to simplify the development and deployment of the IoT Gateway.</p>
Built on OSGi, Eclipse Kura provides an open platform for developing and deploying IoT gateways. Combining live demonstrations on the Raspberry Pi and Eurotech Reliagate with real world Eurotech use cases, this talk will provide an overview of Kura demonstrating how it leverages OSGi to simplify IoT gateway solutions.
IoT based Industrial Gateway (IoT-SDK) built around Sitara™ AM437x processors...Mistral Solutions
Internet of Things (IoT) is a lot more than just connected devices and seamless communication. The emerging IoT is having a sweeping effect on the way goods are produced, triggering another industrial revolution – Industry 4.0.
Raspberry PI has been around for over 4 years. In the past year it matured significantly and became a valid tool for building professional IoT gateways and Fast! In this talk I will review its abilities - From RF to OS to code to cloud connectivity, and create - on stage - an A to Z IoT gateway.
An Introduction to Eclipse Kura - Eclipse Day Florence 2014Eurotech
Deploying and configuring one device to act as a node in the Internet of Things is relatively easy. Doing the same for hundreds or thousands of devices is not so easy though. This is where the new Eclipse project Kura comes in.
Kura is a Java/OSGi-based container for M2M applications running in service gateways.
Kura was contributed to Eclipse by Eurotech who developed the original technology to run on everything from general purpose devices, rugged mobile computers, wearable devices, service gateways and vehicle consoles, all the way down to the Raspberry Pi.
IoT and Edge Integration with Open Source Frameworks:
Internet of Things (IoT) and edge integration is getting more important than ever before due to the massively growing number of connected devices year by year.
This session shows open source frameworks built to develop very lightweight microservices, which can be deployed on small devices or in serverless architectures with very low resources and wire together all different kinds of hardware devices, APIs and online services.
The focus of this session lies on showing open source projects such as Eclipse Kura, Node-RED or Flogo, which offer a framework plus zero-code environment with web IDE for building and deploying integration and data processing directly onto connected devices using IoT standards such as MQTT, WebSockets or CoaP, but also other interfaces such as Twitter feeds or REST services.
The end of the session discusses the relation to other components in a IoT architecture including cloud IoT platforms and big data respectively streaming analytics solutions (such as Apache Storm, Flink, Spark Streaming, Samza, StreamBase, Apama).
This document discusses KURA, an open source Java and OSGi-based application framework for M2M/IoT service gateways. KURA aims to simplify embedded application development and deployment by providing a cohesive environment, modular components, hardware abstraction, and tools for remote management. It allows developers to focus on their applications while handling common tasks like communication protocols and device management. KURA also aims to reduce the gap between embedded and enterprise software through standards, tools, and decoupling layers.
Session 1 - Introduction to lean and problem interviewsCo-founder Ignitor
The document outlines an agenda for a lean startup bootcamp hosted by Standard Bank Incubator. The bootcamp aims to teach entrepreneurs how to apply lean startup principles to validate business ideas quickly through experiments rather than lengthy business plans. Attendees will participate in activities like forming teams to generate business ideas based on random words and pitching ideas in under a minute. The document emphasizes that the most common startup assumptions about customers and problems are often wrong, and stresses the importance of validating assumptions by conducting customer interviews to understand problems and build products customers want.
The document discusses the challenges and journey of Pete Smith, a life coach. It describes how Smith started his company in 2011 and completed a coaching program. Initially, he struggled to attract clients and questioned if coaching could be more than a hobby. However, Smith went on to develop successful coaching programs, achieve high revenue growth, and turn coaching into a viable business. The document promotes Smith's coaching programs and strategies for coaches to market themselves, build credibility, and attract more clients through the Book Yourself Solid system.

- "Can you tell me about a job experience you are particularly proud of?" where the interviewee should choose an experience related to the target position.
- "Describe a professional experience where you overcame problems or obstacles" to see how the interviewee handles challenges.
- "What are your weaknesses?" which is a trick question - the interviewee should acknowledge weaknesses but also plans to improve them.
- "Can you give concrete examples?" so the interviewer can evaluate the interviewee

Impress Me or You're Dead — 5 Ways Recruiting Is Morphing Into MarketingHuman Capital Media
It’s an ugly truth — in the traditional applicant tracking system-friendly world, recruiters hold the power. Emboldened by technology that allows them to view resumes faster than a grocery store clerk scans a can of vegetables, recruiters typically spend five seconds or less evaluating each resume for a “fit” to the job in question. Could it get less personal?
But wait. Payback, as they say around the neighborhood, is, well, it’s full of retribution. Great candidates are increasingly making quick judgments about recruiters and the companies for which they work, often before a recruiter can pitch the job in question. What’s going on?
Join us for this webcast hosted by Kris Dunn of the award-winning recruiting blog “Fistful of Talent,” and we’ll give you the 411 on:
How social media and third-party sites like Glassdoor are creating transparency related to which companies are “employers of choice” for great talent.
How the best recruiters are starting to think like marketers, proactively nurturing passive candidates and truly building an employment brand.
Why that employment brand matters in today’s world and what branding elements are present in employers that are viewed as authentic by star candidates.
The top five marketing techniques recruiters must know to find and hire top talent.
How the right technology helps you survive the new rules for how great candidates judge and treat recruiters.
Impress them or you’re dead. Recruiters used to have the power, and maybe they still do with average talent. But if you want to land the best talent as a recruiter, you’re also being judged and evaluated by candidates. Join us for this Workforce webcast, and we’ll show you what your company can do to be successful and what you have to do to deliver great talent.

What to Do In the First 30 Seconds of Cold Call SalesScripter

1. Clarify what your own problem you are going to solve.
Do it. DO NOT SKIP IT! From my experience 95% of people doing Win/Loss skip this stage and thus they get results that are of very little impact and importance for them personally and for the company. Understand what is the most important problem in your company you need to improve and focus on it! Chose only 1 main problem!
Understand who is the person you would like to interview.
Make a list of names and contacts. Prioritize them. If you are familiar with any method of Personas description, you can do it but make sure it will take you not more than 2 hours on this stage (you will be able to finalize personas description only after interviews after you get deep understanding of your personas).
Make script of the interview (what is contact channel, questions, etc)
Understand what questions for your self you need to get answers for (e.g. why clients in red hats are not buying in your corner shop). Do detailed script to get prepared well.
Perform interviews by lean (testing and improving)
The most important is that you are questioning people in order to understand why they made favorable for you or disastrous for you decisions to buy from you or to leave you. Your goal is to understand people and their motives better than they understand it themselves.
I recommend to do interviews by lean methodology – first try it with 1 or 2 interviewee, learn your mistakes (they will be, believe me) and then do more massive interview session.
