Most businesses don’t know where their salespeople stand. We’re all busy, so we are all competing for the most efficient, effective, or most qualified salesperson. This means we must be extremely careful about what we know about our salespeople. Most salespeople aren’t at the top of our list. They have a lot of competitors.
We dont want to have a salesperson who is an expert in the exact way that we are. We want a salesperson who will fit into our team. To be effective in a sales role, you have to be able to take a “no comment” when asked a question. To take a “no comment”, you need to know what you are talking about.
We are all salespeople. Our job is to sell. We have a job to sell. Most salespeople, however, are not salespeople. They are people who can sell and still be a good person. We are all a little crazy. So if you are a salesperson, you need to be able to deal with the craziness. At the top of our list of sales skills is knowing how to keep your cool when you are under pressure.
The problem is that you can’t handle the crazy. If you can’t handle the crazy, you can’t stay calm and cool. It’s easy to be overly emotional when you are under pressure. Or rather, if you are a salesperson you are the person who is under pressure. If you are one of the people who are under pressure, you are the one who needs to know how to be calm and cool when you are under pressure.
So I have a friend who is a salesperson. He is a very smart guy. He loves what he does. He knows he is excellent at what he does. He is very confident about it. He knows it. He knows its hard to be a salesperson.
But he is also a really good person. He believes in what he does and he is extremely loyal. He has a lot of positive things to say about the job. He likes the work. He is very happy. He is very good at what he does. But he is also extremely emotional. He is one of the people who gets excited when he gets a promotion. He is one of the people who gets a little teary-eyed when he sees his friend get fired.
He is also the guy who always has a little bit of a “couch potato” in the office. He is very intense. He is one of the people who is always trying to prove something. He has a lot of passion. He is one of the people who is constantly trying to improve himself. But he is also one of the people who is always worried about what other people think. It’s just been said a few times that he is the type of person who has no friends.
Salesforce has recently announced that they have created a cloud based education platform. It’s called “Salesforce Education Cloud” and it’s essentially designed to make it easier for people to learn how to use Salesforce, using classroom-style courses that are based on online videos. According to Salesforce, the idea is that “students will be able to access the same content in the classroom and on mobile devices, and teachers will have access to course materials in the classroom.
The Salesforce Education Cloud is designed to be a way to teach Salesforce.com’s own CRM, and other products, using video content and a classroom style curriculum that’s already been created. I imagine that it will be a hit with students because it’s already built-in video content for the salesforce.com account you already have.
I’d love to know what teachers use Salesforce for.
