Many logistics software companies offer supply chain solutions which covers the complete process of merchandise delivery from seller to buyer. Leading logistics software company Magaya, offers Supply Chain Solution which gives companies the functionality of an ecommerce system, warehouse management system and a Cargo System. You also get additional sales and purchasing capabilities to connect all your processes from Quotations to Purchase Orders and shipments.
The Purchasing Process
The purchasing process begins with a Purchase Order (PO) created in the Magaya Supply Chain Solution, containing all the information about the order. The PO is sent to the manufacturer or supplier. Convert the PO into a Pickup Order. Then the merchandise is sent to the warehouse. When the cargo arrives, the Pickup Order can be automatically converted into a Warehouse Receipt (WR).

The Crazy Motto That Doubled My Sales

blogger

Do you run a sales team? Have you ever noticed that sales people are brilliant at coming up with excuses for why their promised sales didn’t eventuate. I use a simple strategy on my sales team that stopped the excuses and doubled the sales.

A couple of years ago I read a very interesting piece of research. The business school of a major university was conducting an international study into sales management. One of the amazing things they discovered was that sales people who reported to a sales manager, on average produced less than sales people who did not have a sales manager.

The reason for this was that the sales managers tended to be critical of the shortcomings of their team members and this made the sales people nervous. They became so preoccupied with having to face the music at the sales meeting that their focus was on failure rather than success. If your focus is on failure then failure is what you will get.

This is all very interesting but there is still the practical matter that most sales people are performing well below their potential. So how does a sales manager get his or her team performing without creating the problem of failure focus?

When I first started managing a sales team I discovered that sales people had an incredible talent for coming up with excuses. They seemed to be able to justify any lost sales by giving you a plausible reason why it was not possible to get the sale. While I admired their creativity I also realized that in most cases the sale was getable. The problem I had was how to get the sales person away from the excuse habit and onto the success habit.

I also remembered when I first entered the sales world, and how my sales manager had harassed myself and the other sales people at each sales meeting. I used to dread going to those meetings.

I ended up creating a solution that got rid of excuse behavior, avoided the harassing situation and led to a doubling of my sales team’s output. I made a rule that the only excuse that a salesperson was allowed to offer was an excuse that was so good that if they wrote it on a piece of paper and took it to the manager of the local supermarket that the manager would be happy to give them a week’s groceries in exchange for the excuse.

Here’s how I used the “grocery excuse” strategy. I first explained the rule to each of my sales people. Then if during a sales meeting a sales person started to offer any form of excuse I would interrupt and say “excuse me Bob, can I buy a week’s groceries with this excuse that you’re starting on?” They would say no, and then I would say “then let’s focus on a real way that we can get this sale across the line.”

This crazy “grocery rule” worked like a charm. Within a few meetings it totally eliminated excuse behavior and turned the whole focus of the meetings into positive, success oriented thinking. The result was that the teams sales figures improved dramatically and my sales team didn’t fear the meeting.

If you are having problems with excuse focused sales staff then why not give my crazy motto a try.

The manufacturer matters in that different manufacturers have different qualities therefore the manufacturer with a reputation of manufacturing the best should be considered. Furthermore, the cost of the boat matters. Moreover, the function of the boat is very much put into consideration.

These are but a few of the considerations that a buyer should make. A person can also consider if the boat is new or used. Through used ferry sales, one can have several possibilities.

Electronic Cigarette Timeline

E-Cigarettes: A Brief Timeline

Electronic cigarettes are basically a new phenomenon in the United States, and a lot of people (including smokers) still have not heard about them. But they have been around for years in other parts of the world.

Here is a brief timeline of the electronic cigarette (e-cig for short):

2003 – Beijing based SBT Co. registered a patent for the first e-cig.

2004 – Ruyan, another Beijing company, is now the head; they merged with SBT Co to become SBT Ruyan Technology & Development Co.

oMay 2004: Ruyan sells its first cigarette in China; sales for 2004 total 1.7 million US dollars.

2005 – Sales reach 17 million US dollars

2006 – Sales reach 37 million US dollars

oApril 2006: Ruyan introduces the e-cig in Europe

July 2009 – The FDA releases a warning against electronic cigarettes and states that they may be unfairly marketed to young people.

January 2010 – A federal judge stops the FDA from blocking e-cigs coming into the country from China.

February 2010 – FDA files an appeal of Judge Leon’s ruling.

March 2010 – US Court of Appeals overturns Judge Leon’s ruling, giving the FDA the power to ban e-cig imports.

I wanted to share this information because a lot of people might be interested in e-cigs, but dont want to try something completely new, fearing that it hasnt been properly tested or might be unsafe. But as you can see, the e-cig has been manufactured, tested, and distributed long before its arrival here in the United States.

Hope this helps any of you who are sitting on the fence wondering if you should give them a try.
