Software Industry Veteran Shares Roadmap to Sales Transformation Success

Leave a comment

Sales Enablement has emerged as a critical business function to address these challenges, but few understand how to unlock the power of enablement to drive sales transformation.

San Francisco, CA (USA), May 01st 2015 — In recent years, the pace of business has put increasing pressure on sales organizations. Sales Enablement has emerged as a critical business function to address these challenges, but few understand how to unlock the power of enablement to drive sales transformation.

“My sales enablement journey accelerated when I founded a thought leadership group called SalesCraft in 2009. SalesCraft focused on peers talking about best practices. From those ideas the opportunity to write a book about sales enablement evolved to help educate people about the power of sales enablement to transform sales strategy execution,” says Author and Speaker Sharon Little. “I have a great passion to inspire sales leaders, and today it is critical for companies to know how to fluidly adapt to rapid pace of change in business.”

In competitive markets, sales teams need every advantage possible and strong, visionary, prescriptive leadership. Constrained by outdated approaches to enabling sales teams, questions about organizational ownership and inexperience, sales enablement has been slow to reach full potential. That is why Sharon Little collaborated with Halo Publishing International to release “SalesCraft: The Enablement Advantage.”

“At an executive level there is a lot of pressure to deliver and it can be hard to figure out how to move the needle. My hope is to open up their eyes to the critical nature of having a reliable, predictable change agent in sales enablement. This is about more than training, it’s about getting ahead of the sales transformation curve and staying there ,” says Sharon.

The business climate is changing more rapidly, creating a dynamic and fluid selling environment. Field leadership feels the pace of change, but is constrained by quarterly demands and a lack of clear, proven strategies to drive reliable transformation. In SalesCraft: The Enablement Advantage, upper management learns how to implement an enablement function that inspires, differentiates and drives revenue. This book represents a true transformation in business practices designed to stay ahead of the growth curve and actively invest in the success of the sales team.

“Sharon’s work in sales enablement is inspired by more than 15 years working in areas that span both sales and marketing,” says Halo Publisher Lisa M. Umina. “She has in-depth experience in sales management, inside sales, sales operations, field marketing, lead generation and communications. That breadth of experience infuses Sharon’s work in sales enablement with practical insight and knowledge that can only be found in someone who has actually done the work.”

Success in sales is a balance of art and science and there is no better way to achieve this than through sales enablement. For every ambitious sales leader, sales enablement is something they need to understand better. For those looking to retain and grow their sales team, “SalesCraft: The Enablement Advantage” is your company’s secret weapon.

You can purchase “SalesCraft: The Enablement Advantage” by Sharon Little through Amazon, B&N, and Halo Publishing.

FullSpeed Provides Spreadsheet-like Macros in Cloud-based Accounting Apps: QuickBooks Online, Xero, and Others

Leave a comment

Madison, Missouri, September 26, 2014 , Most people who have used word processing software know what a macro is: a group of commands you can put together quickly to do a repetitive job, like adding blank spaces at the beginnings of several lines, or changing underlined words to italics on an entire page. Wouldn’t it be great if someday macros could apply calculations to multiple lines of data in applications like QuickBooks Online, Xero, or other cloud-based accounting software?

That day is here! FullSpeed lets you set up simple formulas in its own internal spreadsheet and applies them to data in other programs at the press of hotkey. In fact you can have multiple macros defined, each with its own unique hotkey.

What kinds of things can FullSpeed do? …calculations involving multiple columns of an invoice, column subtotals and totals, calculate discounts or freight surcharges or special taxes, autonumber lines, provide customized messages like “A discount of $123.45 is available if paid by October 15, 2014”, and a lot more. FullSpeed supports a wide range of Excel-compatible spreadsheet features such as numeric and statistical functions, IF logic, date/time functions, text manipulation, and plenty of ways to format results: currency, numeric, date/time, etc.; even the ability to display decimal amounts as fractions.

FullSpeed works in invoices, estimates, purchase orders, sales orders, bills, checks, sales receipts, grids, etc.–almost anywhere you can enter accounting data. It is compatible with any Windows-based Web browser which supports Microsoft’s UI Automation technology, such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Microsoft Internet Explorer. FullSpeed is not limited to browser-based apps though: it also works in some native Windows applications like QuickBooks desktop editions. (Though FullSpeed can work with a variety of application types, it has mostly been certified to work with accounting applications in this first release of the product.)

Many cloud-based accounting applications have limited space available for data or calculated results. For example, neither QuickBooks Online nor Xero currently supports custom fields in the line items area of invoices. But FullSpeed overcomes this problem in two ways:

(1) It supports storing data in the Description field of sale or purchase items, and can extract it to use in calculations. For instance, users can store a per-unit shipping weight in each item’s Description, and FullSpeed can use it to calculate the total shipping weight for an invoice.

(2) FullSpeed’s Scratchpad feature allows macros to temporarily store results of intermediate calculations, so they don’t have to be written to the target application where no space may be available to hold them.

Maybe the most unique feature of FullSpeed is that it works directly on data in the target application. Users get to see the results of calculations immediately while working in an invoice, purchase order, or other form. There’s no need to export the form’s data to do calculations in Microsoft Excel or some other program, and no need to re-import or Copy and Paste results that were calculated elsewhere.

FullSpeed is priced at $119 for a single-user license, less for multi-user licensing. FullSpeed is compatible with Microsoft Windows XP (SP3) and all later versions including Windows 7 and Windows 8.

A downloadable 30-day free trial and step-by-step examplesare are available from FullSpeed’s main Web page: http://www.goflagship.com/products/fullspeed.htm

AAA says Real estate sales increases are Good news for Alternative Investors

Leave a comment

There has been some good news for those investing in real estate, in the form of stronger US property sales figures, according to Alternative Asset Analysis (AAA), an alternative investment advocacy group.

Boston, MA, July 05, 2012 – There has been some good news for those investing in real estate, in the form of stronger US property sales figures, according to Alternative Asset Analysis (AAA), an alternative investment advocacy group.

The National Association of Realtors has revealed that property sales had increased by over 10 per cent in April, compared with a year earlier. The Association added that sales could be up by as much as 13 per cent overall, by the end of the year.

Analysts believe that improving employment figures and falling mortgage costs are helping the industry get back on its feet, which means prices are rising. “This is great news for anyone who has invested in property over the past few years when prices were low,” claimed AAA’s analysis partner, Anthony Johnson.

“It is still a great time to buy homes in the US for investment purposes, as the market is bottoming out, which means the only way is up,” he added.

In fact, prices rose in 50 per cent of US cities in the first quarter of 2012 and this trend is expected to continue throughout the year. Mortgage rates have also fallen drastically. The average rate on a 30-year fixed rate mortgage a year ago was 4.5 per cent, while is now stands at just 3.66 per cent, according to a Freddie Mac survey.

Anthony Johnson stated, “investing in real estate has become more popular among those who want to diversify their portfolios against risk. It’s understandable that people want something tangible to show for their investments – especially after the economic crisis.

“We also support investment in other alternative asset classes, such as timberland, through firms like Greenwood Management, which runs sustainable plantations of non-native trees species in Brazil.” AAA claims that investing in alternatives can offer a more ethical option than stocks and bonds.
