SALES PRESENTATION ... THE BOTTOM LINE IS SELLING
Talk about two sides of the coin just think of the sales call. If you're in sales then it is all about the person in front of the other person/group. If you're in marketing it is all about the polished, super slick presentation. If you're the CEO and CFO it's all about the order. Surprise!!!! It takes them all. And a presentation should be tailored by the sales people so that it fits their style and the audience. And it should go where few marketing people have gone before...it should ask for the order. The best sales call is a gentle balance of the sales people and their sales tools. We just want to make it better for them.

Pride is a good thing!
Pride is a good thing! Pride seems have a bad press doesn’t it? “Pride- the never failing vice of fools” Alexander Pope “Pride goeth before destruction and an haughty spirit before a fall” Proverbs Although it is known as a Vice, it can be a virtue especially in business. Being proud of the quality of service or product you deliver is not something to be ashamed of, quite the opposite.

Facing the Facts about Face in China
In China, the concept "face" influences all levels of society and business. It is similar to the western concept of pride yet different. As a westerner I feel pride once I accomplish something I've been working on, often whether others know of my accomplishment or not. Of course if others acknowledge my achievement, it serves to elevate my feeling of personal satisfaction. On the other hand, "face" is definitely a "public opinion" oriented concept, one that depends upon the respect and acknowledgement of another or others. So it's not so much "what I know about me" as much as it is "what others believe about me."
ALWAYS BE A FIRST VERSION OF YOUR SELF.
"If you don't brand yourself, other people will. And I can guarantee you that they won't brand you in the way that you want to be branded."What we are not at all have complete value. I mean weather I am a CEO of the MNC or I do laundry wash of the clothes in a small shop. It has a lesser value. We have to lead our selves with pride even if we do not have any title. We have to live in a day and building our tomorrow on our today with pride is the essence of BRAND YOUR SELF. We have to do our best to prove our worth to the world, everyday. The ever worst situation we have to face or we are at the top of the world. Never stop branding your self. There is just one life for each of us: our own.
The Most Beautiful Word in the English Language
We often confuse humility with timidity. Humility is not clothing ourselves in an attitude of self-abasement or self-denigration. Humility is all about maintaining our pride about who we are, about our achievements, about our worth – but without arrogance. Humility is one of the admirable characteristic of Level 5 leaders. These leaders direct their ego away from themselves to the larger goal of leading their company to greatness. These leaders are a complex, paradoxical mix of intense professional will and extreme personal humility. They will create superb results but shun public adulation, and are never boastful. What does it take to be such a leader?
