Download or read book The Art of Military written by Jorge Rios and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-02-02 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A man whose job involves selling or promoting commercial products, either in a store or visiting locations to get orders is usually referred to as a salesman. While a soldier is someone who serves in the army, he protects the interest and constitution of his country. These are two different occupations and one might not see any correlation between them. However, for a soldier, someone who has gone through military training, I see the two occupations differently, I see their similarities. There are certain skills or techniques known in the 'military world', that can be of great importance in the 'civilian world', especially in becoming a successful salesman. This book outlines how you can become technically and tactically proficient in sales. The sales techniques and training are based on experiences, knowledge, and skills that I developed during my active duty with the United States military. While serving on combat operations with the Army in Iraq for two years I learned physical and mental toughness that made me a strong and effective soldier. Upon returning from combat with the Army I realized that many of the skills I learned could be applied to salesmanship in the civilian world. This book is all about transferring those skills discovered in the Army, which I like to call 'the military mindset, ' to the civilian setting of sales. You do not need to have prior military experience to utilize these sales training techniques and develop the skills that are elaborated; however, if you have served in the military, the training and techniques will be even easier to learn. Developing new skills will sharpen your ability to perform productively in the sales world, enabling you to sell any product or service to anyone anywhere. You will learn how to adopt the military mindset and apply it on the job as a salesman. Best of all, the cognitive processes involved in the sales technique will enable you to complete your top mission: the sale

Download or read book Salesman Joe written by Michael J. Cordier and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2006 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The samurai warrior hones his skill to the point of perfection. If he does not, the consequences are dire. It is a matter of life and death. In most cases, the sales professional faces a similar battle with the same consequences - not only for survival, but for prosperity. Therefore it makes sense to understand the mind-set and modus operandi of the warrior to be successful in sales. Actions that must be done when faced with an adversary: • The preparation • How to engage the 'enemy' • Choosing the correct weapons • Closing the deal (kill) Perhaps more important is the way in which the warrior (and the sales professional) executes the task: • Our code of ethics • The responsibility of being an expert • Finding the 'middle way' • Operate in harmony Part II of Salesman Joe challenges the status quo in the sales environment as it is practiced today. The pitfalls of entrepreneurship are discussed as well as the role of senior management. Titles, women in sales, and sales training are placed under the magnifying glass. The age old issue of sales and marketing (horse/cart, chicken/egg) is revised. Ultimately, becoming your own best friend is the sales professional's biggest challenge. "The business world of today, through examples like the Enron scenario, has surely shown that "Situation Ethics" is the standard. Salesman Joe is a counter-culture writing that will not only reinforce the aspects of approaching your profession with solid ethics, but it will reflect on the blessings and rewards that come from that very same approach".

Download or read book Birth of a Salesman written by Walter A. FRIEDMAN and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-06-30 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this entertaining and informative book, Walter Friedman chronicles the remarkable metamorphosis of the American salesman from itinerant amateur to trained expert. From the mid-nineteenth century to the eve of World War II, the development of sales management transformed an economy populated by peddlers and canvassers to one driven by professional salesmen and executives. From book agents flogging Ulysses S. Grant's memoirs to John H. Patterson's famous pyramid strategy at National Cash Register to the determined efforts by Ford and Chevrolet to craft surefire sales pitches for their dealers, selling evolved from an art to a science. "Salesmanship" as a term and a concept arose around the turn of the century, paralleling the new science of mass production. Managers assembled professional forces of neat responsible salesmen who were presented as hardworking pillars of society, no longer the butt of endless "traveling salesmen" jokes. People became prospects; their homes became territories. As an NCR representative said, the modern salesman "let the light of reason into dark places." The study of selling itself became an industry, producing academic disciplines devoted to marketing, consumer behavior, and industrial psychology. At Carnegie Mellon's Bureau of Salesmanship Research, Walter Dill Scott studied the characteristics of successful salesmen and ways to motivate consumers to buy. Full of engaging portraits and illuminating insights, Birth of a Salesman is a singular contribution that offers a clear understanding of the transformation of salesmanship in modern America. Reviews of this book: The history Friedman weaves is engrossing and the book hits stride with entertaining chapters on Mark Twain's marketing of the memoirs of Ulysses S. Grant (apparently Twain was as talented a businessman as a writer) and on the shift from the drummer--the middleman between wholesalers and regional shopkeepers--to the department store...In Birth of a Salesman, Friedman has crafted a history of an 'inherently unlikable process' with depth, affection and intelligent analysis. --Carlo Wolff, Boston Globe I very much enjoyed reading this book. It is well written, well argued, and thoroughly researched. Salesmen, Friedman argues, helped distribute the products of America's increasingly bountiful manufacturing industries, invented new forms of managerial hierarchies, investigated the psychology of desire, and were in the vanguard of America's transformation from a producer to a consumer society. He powerfully shows that the rise of modern business practices and the emergence of a particularly American culture of consumption can only be fully understood if we examine the history of selling. --Sven Beckert, author of The Monied Metropolis Walter Friedman's Birth of a Salesman: The Transformation of Selling in America is an important book. The modern industrial economy, created in the United States and Europe between the 1880s and the 1930s, required the integration of large-scale production and marketing. The evolution of mass production is a well-known story, but Friedman is the first to fill in the crucial marketing side of that industrial revolution. --Alfred D. Chandler, Jr., author of The Visible Hand and Scale and Scope With wit and verve, Walter Friedman gives us a cast of memorable characters who turned salesmanship from ballyhoo to behaviorism, from silliness to science. Informed by prodigious research, Birth of a Salesman also clarifies the birth of modern marketing--from an angle that humanizes its subject through wry, ironic, but serious analysis. This is a pioneering work on a subject crucial to American social, cultural, and business history. --Thomas K. McCraw, author of Creating Modern Capitalism

Download or read book Military Recruiting in High Schools written by Brian W. Lagotte and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-07-08 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses exclusively on specific education policy instead of general military recruiting in high schools. "When the George W. Bush administration passed its landmark education legislation in 2001, dubbed the No Child Left Behind Act, legislators included a small section containing strict military recruiting mandates for public high schools. The law had two main provisions. First, a data sharing provision requires high schools to distribute the personal directory information of every student to all local armed forces recruiting stations on an annual basis. Second, the equal access provision requires high schools to provide military recruiters access to school grounds equal to university recruiters or career recruiters. For accountability, if these provisions are not fulfilled, the school will lose all federal education funds. Students or parents may “opt out” of the data collection through a bureaucratic process, but no such opt-out option exists for the soldiers visiting schools. When President Barack Obama renewed the omnibus education law in 2015, the name changed to the Every Student Succeeds Act, but the military mandates remained – the provisions were strengthened by including a passage prohibiting any local school board from instituting an “opt-in” bureaucratic structure for parents and students. This book focuses on how the two provisions have been met by parents, school staff, soldiers, and other individuals influenced by high school education policy and military recruiting. The central question is: do military recruiting methods utilized in public high schools work to promote the best interests of the students, or should policy makers rethink the freedom adult soldiers have when interacting with children within schools?
