Likes and dislikes

  Likes and dislikes If we expect others to align with our likes and dislikes, we risk surrounding ourselves with individuals who may ultimately disapprove of us. Everyone has unique preferences shaped by individual experiences, backgrounds, and values. Forcing our opinions or tastes onto others creates tension and stifles genuine connections. It’s essential to recognize and celebrate these differences, fostering an environment of mutual respect and understanding. We can build stronger relationships and create a more inclusive community by valuing each person's individuality . M.L. Narendra Kumar

Understanding Work Styles in the Workplace

  Understanding Work Styles in the Workplace Lack of Planning and Lack of Hard Work - Time Passer Some individuals need to engage in effective planning or put significant effort into their work. For these people, work is merely a way to pass the time rather than a stepping stone in their careers. They tend to view their jobs as temporary positions rather than opportunities for growth and advancement. This mindset often leads to job hopping, where they frequently change roles without a sense of commitment or responsibility. Evaluating such individuals can be challenging during the interview process, as their lack of engagement may be soon apparent. However, their steadfast work ethic can be assessed on the job. We could ask them to create a structured work plan outlining their goals, tasks, and timelines. We can gauge their commitment to the role by measuring their adherence to this plan. If we observe significant discrepancies between their planned objectives and actual perfo...

Discounts- Discount it

  Discounts- Discount it Discounts are compelling marketing tools that can shift consumer perceptions. They can create a desire that evolves into a want and eventually into a perceived need for products that may not be necessary. When consumers purchase items they do not truly need, even if offered at a discounted price, they are not genuinely saving money; in fact, they often lose value by acquiring things that will go unused or contribute to clutter. Conversely, choosing not to purchase unnecessary items saves you 100% of your money. This demonstrates the importance of self-awareness and understanding your needs and financial goals. With a clear definition of what you genuinely need, you may avoid  falling prey to modern marketing tactics designed to encourage impulsive buying. By taking the time to identify your actual needs, you can make more informed decisions that contribute to your overall well-being and financial health.   M.L. Narendra Kumar ...

Market Coverage & Sales

  Market Coverage & Sales Low Market Coverage and Low Sales When a company has low market coverage, it is almost inevitable that sales will also be low. This underlines the importance of expanding our market presence to identify and reach potential customers. By scaling our coverage, we can diversify our customer base and reduce dependence on a limited number of clients. This strategy helps build a more resilient business and ensures we can tap into different market segments to enhance overall sales performance. High Sales and Low Market Coverage When a business achieves high sales but has low market coverage, it typically indicates that it successfully caters to a small group of high-value customers. While this strategy can help meet short-term sales targets, it poses a significant risk. Losing just a few of these key customers could drastically impact our revenue (top line) and profitability (bottom line). Therefore, businesses in this scenario must seek opportunities...

Everyone has their mountains to scale

  Everyone has their mountains to scale   The well-wishers surrounding us often express concern for our progress and well-being. While their support is appreciated, we must focus on personal growth and development. Just as a doctor provides a prescription tailored to a patient's specific needs, it is ultimately up to the patient to follow the doctor's advice diligently to ensure a swift and effective recovery. In the same way, people in our lives can offer valuable suggestions and guidance on how to improve ourselves and achieve our goals. However, we are responsible for actively applying these suggestions in our daily lives and making conscious efforts toward our own progress. We must recognize that relying solely on others to lead us by the hand through every challenge is not realistic; everyone has mountains to climb and struggles to navigate. Therefore, while we can appreciate the perspectives and advice of others, the actual responsibility for our growth lies within...

Scrabble and Relationship

  Scrabble and Relationship Cultivating a relationship is akin to playing a game of Scrabble. Just as in Scrabble, where each letter and word contributes to a bigger picture, relationships are built on carefully selecting words, gestures, and actions that resonate with both individuals involved. It requires thoughtfulness and consideration to ensure that the interactions strengthen the bond rather than weaken it. Choosing the right words can create understanding and connection, while the wrong ones can lead to misunderstandings. Much like in a game, it’s essential to take your time, listen, and adapt as the relationship evolves, gradually forming a richer and more meaningful connection. M.L.Narendra Kumar          

Embracing Differences and Diversity

  Embracing Differences and Diversity For an organization to truly make a mark in the market, it must welcome and embrace differing opinions. A lack of diverse viewpoints can stifle creativity and innovation, ultimately limiting the organization's potential. Differences in opinion arise from a rich tapestry of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives within a team. This diversity is invaluable, enabling us to approach challenges from multiple angles and uncover solutions we might not see when thinking uniformly. Organisations that foster an environment where varied perspectives are accepted and encouraged can drive significant change and stand out in a competitive landscape. M.L. Narendra Kumar

Less than a minute lesson -2548 Taking Sides

    Less than a minute lesson -2548 Taking Sides It’s simple to pick a side in a debate or disagreement, but discerning which side holds the truth or is most justified requires careful consideration and thought.

Narendra Kumar Director Instivate Learning Solutions PVT LTD

Less than a minute lesson -2546 Facing the Truth

  Less than a minute lesson -2546 Facing the Truth When we aren't willing to listen to the truth, we are not ready to confront the reality of our situation. This unwillingness can prevent us from recognising important facts and facing challenges that need our attention.   Even when difficult, embracing the truth is essential for personal growth and understanding the world. M.L. Narendra Kumar Director Instivate Learning Solutions PVT LTD    

From aggressive selling to trust solution provider

  From aggressive selling to trust solution provider In today’s competitive marketplace, achieving success in sales can be incredibly challenging, mainly when salespeople prioritise closing deals over genuinely understanding and connecting with their customers. When a salesperson focuses intently on making a sale, customers often perceive a lose-win situation where their interests may take a backseat. This can create apprehension and mistrust, leading them to worry about purchasing the wrong product or service. To foster a more favourable sales environment, it’s essential to shift our focus from merely selling to genuinely understanding each customer's specific needs and pain points. By actively listening and engaging with them, we can position ourselves as trusted solution providers rather than just salespeople. This approach encourages customers to open up and share their concerns, allowing us to tailor our offerings to meet their requirements. Moreover, the key to successf...

Sales Lesson from Milking a Cow

  Sales Lesson from Milking a Cow family owned a cow that provided them with a steady milk supply sufficient to meet their needs for many years. However, as the family grew and more members joined, they began to notice that more than the milk was needed to serve everyone adequately. This led to a growing concern among the family members. To solve the problem, one of the family members decided to milk the cow more frequently, hoping to extract more milk than usual. Unfortunately, despite his efforts, he could not yield any additional milk. Sensing the frustration, the cow said, "I have a limited capacity and cannot produce beyond my means. If you need more milk, you have two options: buy another cow or purchase milk from the store." Feeling doubt and disappointment, the family member walked away, pondering the cow's words. At this juncture, it’s essential to reflect on the underlying message of this story. The cow and milk narrative are a powerful metaphor in the...

I win if my company wins

  I win if my company wins A cricketer who embodies true team spirit prioritises the team's success over personal achievements. Throughout our lives, we have observed numerous cricketers who demonstrate this dedication. For instance, scoring 50s or even 100s can seem impressive, but it holds little value if the team ultimately loses the match. The same concept applies to the world of sales. An effective salesperson not only aims to meet their performance targets but also actively contributes to the overarching goals of the entire organisation. This collaborative approach is crucial for long-term success. It’s essential to recognise that once a salesperson achieves their monthly target ahead of schedule, the temptation may arise to relax and ease off. However, the accurate indicator of an accomplished salesperson is their proactive mindset. They continuously assess whether the overall team target has been met. If they find that it hasn't, they will take the initiative to str...

Trying is Like Farming- Keep Trying

  Trying is Like Farming- Keep Trying It is far better to face defeat than to avoid trying altogether. Choosing not to try is like a barren stretch of land where nothing flourishes except stubborn weeds; this lack of effort leads to stagnation and missed opportunities. In contrast, we cultivate fertile ground rich with potential when we embrace trying. Each attempt we make serves as a step in farming—nurturing our skills, expanding our knowledge, and building resilience. Just like a diligent farmer who consistently tends to their crops, we must engage in our pursuits with dedication and perseverance. It's the continuous effort and unwavering commitment that lead to success. Over time, we can witness the fruits of our hard work beginning to blossom. Therefore, I encourage you to venture out and keep striving toward your goals. Remember, the only actual failure lies in not trying at all. Every effort counts, and each small victory brings you closer to your dreams.   M.L....
