A skilled negotiator knows the benefits of preparation. Here are four ways a skilled negotiator prepares: 1. The Skilled Negotiator Knows His Counterpart . Purchasing professionals often fail in negotiations due to being caught off-guard by the experience and/or aggressiveness of the supplier's negotiator. So always learn about your counterpart before you begin negotiations. Insist on a phone conversation prior to the negotiation. You can tell the supplier that the purpose of the call is to shore up logistical details like time, location, and length of your meeting. And do shore them up. But also find out more about your counterpart through 'small talk.' How long has s...

In analyzing those salespeople who are successful year after year, we find significant consistencies in behavior and practice management. So, borrowing from Steven Covey, here are '7 Habits of Successful Salespeople'. 1. The ONLY 'A' priority is prospecting. Successful salespeople service accounts just like everyone else. They also have fires to put out and meetings to attend. But nothing gets in the way of consistent prospecting. You don't have to like prospecting, you just have to do it. If you learn to like prospecting, you will do more of it. 2. Don't look, act or sound like every other salesperson calling on the prospect. Create a unique approach - Don't just say that you are different...

Know Who You are Dealing with Do your homework, know your customer, and know your competition. Make sure you investigate the personalities of all the players. Learn who your customers and competitors are as professionals. What is their negotiation history? What has been your competitor s sales strategy? What solutions have they offered? Where? At what price? And with what terms? Negotiate Only with Decision Makers Sometimes an apparent decision maker is merely a gate keeper in disguise. Ask probing questions to discover who is really in charge. One such question to ask is: Who has sign-off authority for an investment of this size? Refuse to negotiate with people who do not have the ultimate...

Negotiating a better salary package has put more than a few stomachs in knots over the years. Remember, we all go through it sooner or later. Keep these 10 basic tips in mind when it's your turn to ask for a sweeter deal. 1. Be Persuasive It's hard to force your boss to increase your compensation, and trying to do so can potentially damage your working relationship. Think about the process as trying to convince him that it might benefit the organization to pay you more. 2. Aim High, and Be Realistic Many researchers have found a strong correlation between people's aspirations and the results they achieve in negotiation. At the same time, you want to suggest ideas to which your boss can real...

I realized the other day that creating a new company for the first time is a lot like whipping up a great pasta salad for the first time – you need a recipe, even though it may look simple. You know the basic ingredients, and you can visualize the results you want. Yet you may not be so sure where to start, and how to put it all together. More... http://short.to/22fo5 .

Social entrepreneurship in India is making greater strides towards inclusiveness by involving every strata of society to tap into the momentum and growth of the country. However, in spite of several initiatives, social entrepreneurship eco-system in India is not coming together as well as it needs to. Their focus and collaboration on solutions should be directed towards not merely one-off acts of charity, but adding up to a vast array of sustainable services across sectors and industries that help people at the base of the pyramid, which is not happening in the country now. In the post-independent era, many enterprising men with social bent of mind had ventured into setting up educational institutions, which helped the country to move out of the chaotic state into a vibrant and democratic environment. But over the decades, these established institutions which laid the foundation for modern India, because of their sheer size, were forced to evolve into large business enterprises...

Content marketing is undoubtedly one of the hot digital marketing terms of 2012, but there’s far more to identifying—and implementing—a successful content strategy than simply creating content. In fact, when considering the components of creating a content marketing strategy, writing is the easy part of the equation. In today’s increasingly crowded content marketplace, your brand needs to know how to not only create and implement a content strategy that will help you achieve your pre-determined goals, but also how to develop content that will also help you stand out in the stream. During a recent Marketing Cloud webinar, The Altimeter Group’s Charlene Li and Rebecca Lieb discussed “ Winning Content Marketing Strategies: Rebalance Your Organization to Deliver Effective Content .” At the centerpiece of the webinar was a recent study conducted by Rebecca with Zack Kirchner and Jaimy Szymanski. “ Content: The New Marketing Equation ” features input from 56 ecosystem...
