Profit Heroes addresses a new "call to arms" that is transforming selling. To thrive in the future, salespeople must understand how customers are changing and what it will take to win. It is no longer about your company against mine, or your products and services against mine, or your know-how against mine. It is now all about profitability and the ability to identify it, quantify it, sell it and deliver it. To win you must be viewed by customers as more than "a vendor." You must now become "an earnings contributor". The book offers a unique inside and emotional view of two competing salespeople who faced off in the pursuit of a big opportunity. Both represent great companies. Both are highly talented and successful. One wins and one loses. Theirs is a classic competition you see every day in American business, and is what makes selling the most exciting profession in the world. The book unveils the strategies and approaches that the winner and all Profit Heroes use to achieve success. Endorsements "Profit Heroes uncovers the secret of selling true value. It is a transformation in selling concepts that drives measurable results." Kim Hartwell, Senior Vice President, Global Sales and Marketing, ADC Corporation "Bob's focus on 'profit' could not be more on-target. In a recent dialogue with industry CEO's, there was 'table-pounding' agreement that all employees including sales, marketing, finance, operations, HR and IT, must all know how they impact profit improvement". Dr. Douglas A. Fisher, Assistant Professor and Director - Center for Supply Chain Management, College of Business Administration, Marquette University Profit Heroes describes how sales losers can become sales winners, even in a rapidly changing business world. Geoffrey James, author of Business Without the Bullsh*t
According to Neal King, cop action movies point both an accusatory finger and homoerotically murderous race at powerful white men. A close look at a massive and hugely popular fictional culture, Heroes in Hard Times considers the over 190 cop action movies released between 1980 and 1997; examines the generic moral logic that they offer; and explores the crisis in American masculinity that, King argues, propels the action in their stories. King studies how, in the cop action genre, working-class police officers weigh in on such topics as racial justice, homosexuality, misogyny, unemployment, worker resistance, affirmative action, drug use, poverty, divorce, and the use of violence to deal with social problems. Facing their enemies with wisecracks and firepower, these men prove themselves at once complicitous in a system of violence and corruption and worthy to "blow away," with neither hesitation nor remorse, their -- society's -- menacing threats. The central male figures in these stories are heroes in their fight against criminals, but, as individuals, they fell undervalued by women, unappreciated by their bosses, and out of place in a society where fat cats and liberals have all the power. Such "hard times," King's study reveals, position them to simultaneously long for, disdain, and heroically -- if violently -- stake their frustrated claim to white male privilege. Discussing such topics as white male guilt and the rage of the oppressed and examining such films as Lethal Weapon, Die Hard, and Silence of the Lambs, King's book notes the socially-charged roles given to American culture's fictional police heroes. The last artisan in a culture that has become increasingly corporate and bureaucratized, the movie cop is the last 'real man' in a world that has emasculated men and the last non-conforming patriot in a world that pays more attention to rules than what is morally right. A book that shows how modern mythology makes sense of rampant corruption (and provides entertainment in its punishment), Heroes in Hard Times will educate and provoke those interested in American popular culture, film, and gender studies.
