Learning from Experience: Implementing After Action Reviews in Your Sales Force
The problem with many sales organizations is not laziness, lack of selling skills or the myriad of other issues CEOs point to when sales are down. The problem with most sales organizations is the inability to learn from experience.er Action Reviews are now used by many companies in a number of ways. When conducted properly, the AAR serves as a post-event debrief that generates specific actionable recommendations (SARs) for immediate use. It also creates an environment in which sales people can identify real mistakes, learn from them, and make immediate adjustments, rather than get bogged down in blaming the market, the prospect, or the competition.

Systems for Business Growth
What Are Systems? Now, some people may think of "systems" as sets of technically sophisticated interacting parts, designed to accomplish some complex result (and, in some cases, they may be all of that) but in the vast majority of cases in business, systems can be simple, little things.

The factors leading to our high costs are complex. the factors leading to our lagging in health indices are even more complex. Quick, politically expedient fixes are not what we need. Debate driven and financed by those interest groups with the most to loose by reform is not what we need. Shaping opinion by spreading fear and mis-information is not what we need.

Yet as important as these systems are, most of us don’t take advantage of what systems can do to improve our businesses and simplify our lives.
