Social Networking and the Modern Supply Chain: A Dialogue Spanning Multiple Social Networks
| |
| Multiple Network Members Questions
It is an interesting aspect of social networking that diverse yet related questions/commentaries can be posed to create an answer stream (think strand commonality) that can collectively result in a cohesive dialogue in which all stakeholders obtain the answer that are applicable to their specific situation.

How does the complexity theory apply to business? (A Brief Dialogue)
| |
| Member Question:
Has anyone applied complexity theory to business in a practical way?
Asheville, U.S.
My Response:
The chaos theory and butterfly effect are interesting concepts in terms of the “complexity” of business.
Over a number of years and through funding from the Government of Canada’s Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) Program I developed a theory called strand commonality.
In the area of supply chain practice for example (although the term “chain” is a misnomer in that it implies a sequential architecture instead of the synchronized architecture that represents the dynamic characteristics of different stakeholders within the real-world), one seeks to understand the unique operating attributes of individual stakeholders using an agent-based model.

Why "Embracing Rejection" is Stupid!
| |
| Guess what happens if you embrace rejection as a part of the job and quickly move on to make the next call. You're doomed to repeat the same mistakes over and over. A rejection is a failure. It's a sales call that did not result in a desirable outcome. If you want to get better at selling, it is imperative to analyze your failures to determine if a different approach could have yielded a better outcome. |

A “Knowledge Strategy” For Your Organization
| |
| A knowledge strategy is of critical importance to the overall strategy of an organization. It is our collective organizational knowledge that gives us the edge over our competition. “Brain is in… brawn is out.” An organization should determine the value of its collective intellectual capital and market it! |

The Unlimited Power Within
| |
| An unlimited power to create lies within you. When you act on your Core Desires, the outcome is often far grander than you might imagine. "Outcomes are often not what I expect," said Wally, "and yet I always find myself feeling completely satisfied with the way things work out. When you have faith in the outcome, no matter what it may be, you cannot stop yourself from living and working with enthusiasm. As I put what I feel into action, I am filled with vitality and happiness."
When Wally was forced out of his own cookie company, it seemed utterly unfair. But he refused to be a victim: |

There's Opportunity in that Crisis
| |
| Quantum Theory promotes the existence of limitless outcomes for each and every situation. The outcome we experience is the outcome we choose to see.
Pay attention to that. Any outcome is available to us - we choose what we experience. When we change our thoughts and expectations - we change our outcomes. |

1st of the Top 10 Kurlan Sales Management Functions

| This is the 1st in the series of the 10 Kurlan Sales Management Functions.
#1 - COACHING
In its simplest form, sales coaching consists of the following two activities:
1. Pre-Call Strategizing - coaching prior to selected calls to make sure that the salesperson has a good reason for having the upcoming call, a desired outcome, a game plan or strategy, and the appropriate questions/dialog to achieve the desired outcome.
2. Post-Call Debriefing - coaching after selected calls to discover the true outcome of the call, why the salesperson got that outcome, and what they could have done differently or more effectively... |

Impact and Influence in Action – Where Are They With This Issue?
| |
| Negotiation is, or should be, about reaching a wise outcome to a situation which needs resolution. The nature of any negotiation is that, at the start, there are differences. To have lasting impact and positively influence the outcome you need to understand what the differences are. In a way you could be the least qualified person to do this - you may not even want to hear things which will obstruct you in getting what you want. Just like waiting at traffic lights you need to engage neutral for a time and get out of the gear marked “Drive”. |

Creating Emotionally Intelligent Teams
| |
| Teams are the most common business unit for high performance. Although the word gets used loosely and not always appropriately, there is universal acceptance that teams create opportunities for high performance results. A team's performance includes both individual results and collective work products, yielding sums greater than its parts.
True teamwork promotes individual and collective performance. Effective teams value listening and communicating, sharing work responsibilities, provide support and can make work more social and enjoyable. Members are supportive of one another and recognize the interests and achievements of each other. When they are working the way they should, they are incredibly effective in achieving high performance results. |

Is China Running Out Of Our Money?
| |
| It's been said that the trouble with collectivist economic approaches, such as socialism and communism, is that, eventually, you run out of other peoples' money. If there's a lesson from the last century of adventures in collective statism, I guess it's that the big collective economies only work for a while, and only if there's a bigger free-market economy out there (like ours has been), cranking out growth and creating markets for the rest of the world.... |
