After years of speculation, Sony officially unveiled its next-generation console during a PlayStation 4 Reveal event held in New York on February 20, 2013. At E3 2013, the PlayStation 4 Console Design was shown for the first time. Officially abbreviated as PS4, the PlayStation 4 was released on November 15 in the US and Canada and November 29th, 2013 in Europe and Australia/NZ.

Are You a Closer? Take the Test - Steve W. Martin

Martin | 10:20 AM May 18, 2012 My last HBR blog post, How to Close a Sales Call, reviewed sales call closing techniques. Now let’s analyze whether or not you are a natural born closer. The drive to take command of a situation is instrumental to a salesperson’s success. Salespeople with a weak dominance instinct are never quite in control of an account. Dominance is gaining the willing obedience of the customer. Nowhere during the sales process does dominance play a more important role than when closing. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Total your score for all questions.
