Go with the flow

Over the years , as we grow , learn, progress in life through different stages of learning , we keep changing evolving and getting matured .

Time and Experience both make life ripen with their own effect.

The rawness of not understanding, the ignorance of not reacting or interacting to situations, or sometimes of overreacting all change,as the flow of time makes us steady, calm and more realized.

He who has valued time and understood the depth of its existence in space shall never repent or regret having lost anything. Ups and downs, good and bad phases might come and go, but the one who knows what time is , will never let a chance go waste and shall use it fullest in the most creative and productive way.

It is often said, time doesn’t stop for anything or anyone, it is like the ceaselessly flowing river which finds its way through rocks and rough terrains but never stops. It is us who have to be with the flow or else we lose the track of its course of flow and become alone in this trek of life.

It is the wetness and characteristics of time that drench us with experiences in between to let us realize and mature.

Never stop breathing or thinking ,just because the time is bad . It may be according to you , as you have not seen the future nor the direction of time’s flow. Let things happen at the same pace as they are supposed to be. Never suppress your thoughts, for the cycle of life shall bring before you the same circumstances to resolve any matter that remained unsolved or entangled.

Free yourself from the bondage of entanglement and flow with time.

WHO IS THE FACE OF YOUR COMPANY?

What and who represents your company? What is the distinct feature that makes your organization stand at a different level higher than the rest?

Of course,your people,your staff and the management group that handles the pattern,behavior,exposure,growth and planning of your concern are the ones representing your firm.

The three level system consisting of the lower management,the middle management and the senior management form the base of any company to run in a successful way. It depends on the efficiency of the person in these levels and also on the co-ordination of the employees among themselves.

An organization having people of great caliber and potentials can be at a loss if the people in that talk do not possess the quality of working together as a team and always are head on with every other person for any issue arising .

“A company hiring certain hard-core professionals out of a belief that masters of certain specialized areas will provide their company with good solutions or find a way to market their products globally or can enhance the output of their production is nevertheless like having a dream “.

Every individual besides being a professional is a person possessing his own traits and behavioral pattern.This pattern should be compatible with the working methods of the system or should be advantageous to the company.If there has to be a change in the prevailing format other than the one running in the company, it will have certain frictions arising within the core,but not a collapse of the infrastructure.

Many organizations suddenly replace their hired top personnel out of a notion to accommodate the best talents available in the industry and still go around with losses in spite of having the best people with them.

“A degree of any specialized field will make one well versed with the nomenclature and thorough with the ideal ways of working that is explained in the books,but wont teach a person ,how to deal in certain situations of crisis which are unique and exceptional in every case irrespective of any country. The work experience ,the thought process , overall thinking and managing ability of the person shall endear to the perfect solution.”

Remember what we had learnt in school is the basic knowledge,life taught us the real ways of living. So the ones who used to sit in the last benches of the school are top businessmen of our times, for they know the real art of running a company and have not stuck to any predefined written methods. They may hire excellent people to represent their company on certain levels and to know the views and suggestions of the so-called intellectuals.But remember the wisest of all always listens to the people around him , but he does what his heart and mind proclaims.

For an organization to run smoothly with success by achieving the profits and earning a repute , it is essential to have a combination of people merging together and blending the top brains with the wise heads and the excellent performers.

One who cares for the organization as much as he does for his career,the individual having a real connection for the company for which he is working and who has the sense of thinking alive in him to bring about the best from his team and their efforts is the one who can take the organization to a different strata.

ACHIEVING YOUR FIGURES!

January 30, 2013February 3, 2013 Soumya Vilekar10 Comments

Whether you are a businessman or an executive working for an esteemed company, whether you own a small shop or are a salesman knocking doors every afternoon, the hanging sword for everyone is the same! SALES TARGET!

Remember the days you had a smooth time working with people around and could achieve your monthly figures quite easily ,those days seem to have vanished. The scenario has changed to the increasing competition in the market and the upcoming trends. Everyday a new invention or a gadget is introduced in the market ,or a company launches a product that claims to be different form the other prevailing one ! The race for being on the top increases its speed and the urge to excel and be different is never-ending!

Few years ago ,the times were different and neither there was any such slit throat competition nor had the dominating, supremely efficient Chinese people had penetrated so deep into the market with all their products.

Still it is n’t the end of the world even if the situation has become more critical and delicate.

For any company,organization or a business to grow,we need to constantly reach the target that has been set keeping in mind the growth and the demand of that particular sector.

Even a small shopkeeper in his mind aims for a sales figure which shall make ensure his profits and will provide him with more network of customers.

For an executive running around to customers constantly to mark the company’s presence is a way to be aware of the market trends to attain his goals.

So for everyone who is involved in sales,there has to be a pattern of working or thinking which shall guarantee the outcome and give them maximum results.

Following are few ways in which you can get your aim efficiently and within time:

A person looking after the sales or marketing of any product or company needs to proactive.He should be aware of every other similar range of things available in the market whether by his competitor or by any third-party.
A person who handles a monthly target should have a plan chalked out for himself and his team to be able to cover up every customer in his area or range within the specified time .
He should be positive minded in his approach and should display confidence in work and behavior. Absence of confidence leads to a very poor reputation of the person and the organization.
He should be dressed according to his designation and in compliance with the place he shall be visiting. A poorly dressed or oddly dressed person leaves a callous image of himself in the visiting places.
He should be well aware of the product line in which he is dealing along with the other available services that his organization deals with.Lack of information about the company he works in shall render a lack of interest from the visiting customer.
He should be convinced about the quality of the product he sells, the sense of belief in his own company and products ensures that the clients too shall believe in the conviction.
A gentle and a helping approach always helps in dealing with irate, confused and dominating customers.Giving respect and importance even to the lowest staff present there shall always have a good impact and will not reduce his status .
The person should be well conversant with troubleshooting and the failure analysis whether for any type of technical product or even in case of simple ones. The problems differ but are always present.So to be able to deal with such problems is a plus point in your score.
Being in regular touch with the network of clients and users increases the chance of getting your things across when there is a demand.
To make sure that the assignment of any given order is completed in time and if so ever for any reason is delayed ,he should be apologetic for the inconvenience which shall strengthen the bond of the existing customer and he shall in future recommend you to new ones after getting reassured of your services.
Discipline should be an important part of his life and punctuality the most essential one. For people who do not reach o time,tend to lose big opportunities.Even though the rest of the people are late for any reason, a person in sales should be there in time to mark his presence .
Invent new areas of possibilities of the product line to be introduced,he should be aware of the upcoming and new set ups coming around in his area.
Lastly he should have a positive frame of mind and a peaceful approach for his goal. Determination and hard work along with a sense of belonging to his company shall bring him a feel of responsibility which shall assure the work being done in ,sincerely and with care.

These are only few points which could help a person to achieve his goal and aim for the highest every time.The conditions change with every business and place of working ,still overall the basic points remain the same ,without them ,selling is possible but achieving your target will be impossible…

SIMPLE WAYS TO SUCCESS !

To be successful is what we all aspire!

Our dreams are unlimited and so are our desires.The never ending craving for possessing anything that we do not have is a natural human tendency.

Howsoever satisfied a person is, there are always innumerable wants .

The biggest and the greatest wish is of being successful. What is ” success” and why are we so much after it?

Does success means achieving a certain high-end ambition of life or reaching the topmost place of a Fortune 500 company or accumulating wealth which is sufficient enough for your next generations or is it the fame and name that makes you famous?

Each one of us is chasing one of this dreams.But this isn’t success.These are mere achievements.

Success can be defined as a work ,an action, a deed done with full fervor and zeal , as perfectly as you can to get the most desirable and ideal result.It involves the complete dedication of a person along with his sincerity and determination.

The role of confidence too has its part which helps the person to move on with enthusiasm even if there are situations that create negative effect.

Such a path traversed by anyone to the last with hope and belief leads to success.

It is not a position where you reach and be proud of,it is an achievement which you have earned through your continuous efforts.

The feeling of joy and happiness is then reflected through you and your work.

False sense of being successful is often created when you tend to get few good results with or without efforts and sometimes by mere co incidence.They are just good performances.

The real ladder to success is simple but based on steps and cannot be reached by getting on to an elevator directly.

As success brings along growth ,it is always better to follow certain steps and be successful in real terms rather than getting it temporarily.

SIMPLE WAYS TO ACHIEVE SUCCESS :

Be consistent and perfect in any kind of assignment.
Be determined and sincere to your kind of work.
Be passionate and love your work.Develop interest in the kind of job you are doing.
Believe in yourself.
Trust your intuition and not just business tactics.For the people you would be dealing with are also humans and have minds and hearts too. Business rules and methods look good in books whereas in reality, the thought process of every individual matters.
Be alert and aware of every change around you at your workplace or the place where you are dealing .
Co ordinate with other employees and always ensure if you have delegated any work ,whether it has been completed perfectly or not.Do not just leave the responsibility on others.
Remain cheerful,tensions might bog you down,but a smile always brings solution.
Stress can never complete your pending work neither can it help you in any way,so keep it away from yourself .
Politics has never been good ,neither for the country nor for any organization. Expand your vision and your limits of thinking.
Be humble .It always matters as you go higher and higher on each level ,it’s the humility which makes you liked by all and not your fame or money.
Lastly strive till the last,a small hurdle or an obstacle won’t stop you from achieving success if you follow all the above ways.
