You are competing in a highly fragmented, highly competitive marketplace where decision makers are more knowledgeable, less risk averse, and busier than ever. As a result, making your numbers is tougher and more challenging than ever. You’re trying to figure out how to get the attention of new customers and to add value along the sales process to close business. And you’re coping with a potentially underperforming and unengaged sales team, despite investments in sales resources, such as training and technology, marketing content, CRM, and other tools to increase sales effectiveness. But you, like other sales leaders you talk with, are not getting the payoff from these investments. You see the data: • Businesses are spending more on training, but there is little correlation to ROI (ATD, 2015) • Without follow-up and coaching/mentoring, salespeople fail to retain 80% to 90% of what they learned in training within a month (Sales Alliance, 2014) • CRM holds a
Examines the traits that define most people who achieve success, heart, smarts, guts, and luck, and helps readers to determine which traits they possess.
“Nikki Turner has truly brought the female hustlers to light. Fellas betta watch out, because the Girls in the Game are taking over!” –LaJill Hunt, author of Drama Queen and No More Drama A collection of explosive stories handpicked by the undisputed “queen of hip-hop fiction,” Girls in the Game presents an all-women crew of urban-lit divas. The game here is survival, and every ghetto-hardened gangsta in these tales does what she’s gotta do to make it on–or off–the mean streets. Call them what you will, but until you’ve faced their reality you’ll never know what you would do if you were in their pumps. Just remember: It’s a dirty game, and women are usually the best players. “The game ain’t to be told but sold. If that’s so, the women in Girls in the Game should be millionaires!” –KaShamba Williams, author of Mind Games “She’s baaaaaaaack! Nikki Turner has returned, bringing with her the new divas of urban fiction. These ladies raise the bar as they chronicle the streets like never before. Get ready for a literary treat.” –Tracy Brown, author of White Lines
Using a carefully constructed survey methodology and Harris Interactive's online polling techniques, "Top Business Schools 2004" reveals what corporate recruiters really think of the schools and their students.
You and some buddies are sitting around your dorm room one night talking about what to do with your $200K degrees. One says, ?I?m going to be a CPA? and another says, ?I am going to work for my family?. It suddenly dawns on you that you are going for a Business Degree and have told anyone and everyone that you are going to work on Wall Street. But do you really know what Wall Street is? You begin to ask yourself, ?What am I going to do on Wall Street, exactly?? Well, don?t worry, because you are about to read a book that is going to help you answer that question. This book is not one of those ?How to Invest in the Markets? or ?Ultimate Leadership? books. No names besides my own will be disclosed. My guidance is based on my real life experience. There will be no bashing of companies or people. It is a simple guide to assist you in understanding what Wall Street really is: how the firms are setup and organized; what are the jobs, roles, responsibilities, business lines, product lines, client bases, pitfalls, politics and functional departments that are out there. I have specifically kept this at a general and high level. There is much more detail about firms, products and groups to learn, but my goal here was to provide a broad overview so you can have a general understanding of the big picture. I have based this on structures that large firms on Wall Street tend to adapt, but it is important to note that every firm can and is sometimes different and does not always deal in the broad categories I will outline. Some are specific to products or business lines. This book will assist you in defining what you enjoy and then aligning that with specific areas of Wall Street that will make you happy and ultimately successful. It will help you in looking for jobs that leverage your strengths, while working to minimize your weaknesses. It will give you some insight into and advice on managing your career. In short, it provides the details you need to determine if Wall Street is indeed right for you. I have worked on Wall Street for more than 20 years, and I was and am successful at what I do. I make good money and am always learning. I remember when I first started, though. I was scared to death. I knew nothing about Wall Street except that my dad worked there and people could make very good money doing it. Yes, even in bad times! The dilemma I faced was that I had no idea what ?IT? really was. In my college days, what they taught didn?t prepare me for what the real world of Wall Street was all about. Sure, they provided tons of financial formulas and economic theories, but not one course I took explained to me how to manage politics or how to decide what job I was best for or even what the jobs were, for that matter! To this day I am amazed that for all the money you spend on degrees, there is no outline for the real world of Wall Street. Nothing to help you decide what is right for you. Nothing that details the skills required to be successful in one of the largest and most complex industries in the world. Well, there is now!!
Sandra Martini thought she had it all, a storybook marriage, two loving children, a meaningful career in healthcare, and lots of corporate expense account goodies. But, all hell broke loose when husband Victor met Franklin Ryman, a wealthy, "tarnished" member of Wall Street's dark-side dealmakers, known as "the lunatic fringe." The morally bankrupt Ryman guaranteed Victor no experience was necessary to become a Wall Street zillionaire, other than "Follow the Leader." Smitten with the notion of becoming filthy rich at the age of 37, Victor waved goodbye to his carefully-cultivated career on Madison Avenue to launch a questionable IPO (Initial Public Offering) with Ryman. Reluctantly, Sandra agreed to join "the love of her life" on a breath-taking roller-coaster though a seamy side of Wall Street that professional dealmakers deny exists. A world where the only color that matters is green. When the roller coaster stops, Victor and Sandra are financially and morally bankrupt, their marriage is in shambles, and Victor contemplates a bizarre version of suicide to make amends.
With its five colleges and population of the progressive, cultured, and curious, the Pioneer Valley, and Northampton in particular, was an ideal spot for a new coffeehouse and music listening room in 1979. Not that there weren’t plenty of clubs, concert halls, and boogie bars in the area… there were. But the coffeehouse, that expanded into a 170-seat music hall in 1989, was different. From the very start, the Iron Horse drew caffeine-hungry musicians and Smith professors, students, locals, and colorful street people by day and music lovers of all genres by night.It was Jordi Herold’s vision that conjured up this scene. In the 25 years between 1979 and 2004—give or take a couple after he sold the club in 1994 and before he was hired to book it for Eric Suher in 1995—more than 8,500 shows were brought to the region under the Horse banner, most though not all of them at the club itself. The room, on an unassuming Northampton side street, became the heart of a cultural renaissance that rippled out from there, drawing hundreds of thousands of music lovers to its confines in the process.
