To McWilliam (2012), the sales professional is the chief executive of his career thus suggests making use of this information by questioning which skills are most important to their reality in particular and seek to reflect how to develop each of them:
• conducting capacity: Finish projects. It is the certainty of failure or success;
• Commitment to results: Be careful not to deviate from the objectives;
• Creativity and innovation: essential attributes in changing times;
• People management: Manage relationships, one of the villains of the results in teams;
• Work Teamwork: In sales, teamwork does not necessarily mean closing sales together, but also think of staff.
• Leadership: Ability to enthuse people around a common goal;

The 85th Direct Marketing Annual Conference of the United States, held in San Francisco, attested to the growth of the sector. In the view of Stahl et.al (2012), it is not surprising that much of the future growth seems to focus on e-marketing area - both in terms of new customer acquisition, preservation of existing and CRM. Non-traditional users of direct marketing in the automotive, pharmaceutical and consumer goods rapidly expanding appear to be replacing traditional advertising expenditures for direct marketing - when those do not add. This shows all in an effort to focus resources on direct marketing (Wilson and Gilligan,

After reading "Bang for the Buck", it is evident that the guns have had a special place in history. The major problem is that the political class got it all wrong when it decided to allow citizens to own guns and made it became more of a love affair. Apparently, people had held different types of rifles during the militia wars that took place a long time ago in the United States history. One most critical recognizance of the history of the guns can be seen by looking at Britain's Militia Acts that took place in 1661 and 1662. The amendment gave an opportunity for the American citizens for rival groups to fire salvos at each other, and it largely played a part in the enhancement of gun violence that is still in play in the country.
Jon Spoelestra’s Ice to the Eskimos was very interesting and informative. Throughout the entire book, Spoelestra reflected upon the experiences and knowledge that he gained from working in the sports industry. One interesting aspect of the book was Spoelestra’s principle that organizations should design “an offer that consumers cannot refuse” (Spoelestra, 1997, p. 199). This was particularly interesting to me because of my interest in finance. Initially, I thought that if you make an offer too good, that you could potentially be losing out on some profit, however, after reading this book, this principle makes perfect sense.
While arguably one of the defining psychological studies of the 20th Century, the research was not without flaws. Almost immediately the study became a subject for debate amongst psychologists who argued that the research was both ethically flawed and its lack of diversity meant it could not be generalized. Ethically, a significant critique of the experiment is that the participants actually believed they were administering serious harm to a real person, completely unaware that the learner was in fact acting. Although Milgram argued that the illusion was a necessary part of the experiment to study the participants’ reaction, they were exposed to a highly stressful situation. Many were visibly distraught throughout the duration of the test

Leaders possess different strengths that allow them to succeed in their career or life. The Clifton Strengths Finder Assessment helped identify my top strengths and how to lead with my strengths in order to further develop them. My top five strengths were competition, positivity, winning others over (WOO), harmony, and achiever. Based on the meaning of each strength, I related to all them, however, I was surprised by some of them.
I notice that each member has a different characteristic that shapes the team dynamic, which is the unseen forces that strongly influence how a team reacts, performs, or solve problems (William, 2013). Learning from the extensive interaction in the CP course and my professional experiences as HR Professional, I know that a leader should understand her team members’ characteristics, particularly their strengths, weaknesses, personalities, and build a same perspective/vision to facilitate team effectiveness. This initiative will enable each member to contribute their talent, develop a collective agreement to solve problems and achieve the team’s goal effectively. Having an effective work group is very critical for solving the challenge/problems, particularly on how we could deliver a robust recommendation for the client by applying diverse knowledge gained from the MBA course and how we could get reliable data/information from Greenwich Library and multiple

Introduction Team leadership encompasses many things. It may seem like a simple and small task, but in a real sense, it is complex and comes with responsibilities, and commonly, it determines the success of any team or a group. However, the value of teamwork should not be overemphasized considering that all organizations need individuals and personnel who are willing to share ideas, listen to others and contribute to the problem solving of any given group or a company. Team leaders should have the ability, authority, and power to analyze data and information with a team of people with a common aim and objective as well as issues. The leader should understand the dynamic patterns, the connections and relations between paramount factors in these objectives, aims and issues that help in the analysis process.

Salespeople create value for their firms’ customers by advocating and communicating the customers’ needs, desires, concerns, and preferences back to the company and find solutions (Tanner and Raymond, 2010). Also, since the salespeople are experts in regards to their products, they can best advise the customer as to which product is the best fit for them or adapt offerings to fit.
