5 Strategies for Leading a Quota-Busting Sales Team. Why Social Is More Important to Sales Than Marketing. The Rise of Social Selling. The Top 3 Ways of Selling on LinkedIn in 2014. Jasmine Sandler | March 5, 2014 | 0 Comments inShare399 How do you take advantage of all that LinkedIn offers as the network takes on a new face in 2014? Here are my top three tips for selling on LinkedIn for 2014.

LinkedIn, the world's largest B2B social network, has come a long way from its beginnings as a simple business connection network in 2005. Today, LinkedIn acts as a personal branding tool for executives, the number one way for recruiters to attract top talent, a highly targeted ad network for marketers, and a professional salesperson's total package for selling. 1.

LinkedIn is the place to be found by your target. Once the appropriate profile is established, personal branding on LinkedIn as a business professional requires a real commitment to lead and educate others within your network. 2. The absolute best way to start finding and engaging with global executives on LinkedIn is by affiliation and active participation in related LinkedIn Groups. 3. Miracast: Everything to know about mirroring Android. Every so often, another device is touted as supporting "Miracast. " Fighting its way into the mainstream, Miracast is a killer feature poised to wipe out other video streaming standards in a very fragmented Android market. Acting like a wireless HDMI cable, Miracast mirrors your Android device onto your TV screen in high definition and with audio. Once Miracast is enabled, everything -- from the general interface, to apps and videos -- is duplicated on the big screen without the burden of a cable connecting the two devices.

Its differentiating quality? It doesn't rely on your home's Wi-Fi network. But it's not magic -- let's lift the hood to see how Miracast works. Under the hood Seasoned Android users' ears will perk up when they hear that Miracast is built on the much-ignored Wi-Fi Direct technology. With Wi-Fi Direct as the foundation, it makes sense that Miracast doesn't need to rely on your home's network. When it comes to what you can stream to your TV, the options are endless. Ten Reasons Salespeople Lose Deals - Steve W. Martin. By Steve W. Martin | 9:00 AM March 11, 2013 Over the past year I’ve had the opportunity to interview several hundred business-to-business salespeople about how they win over prospective clients and the circumstances when they lose. These interviews were conducted with salespeople across a wide variety of industries including high technology, telecommunications, financial services, consulting, industrial equipment, healthcare, and electronics, to name a few.

Their companies ranged from start-ups to billions of dollars in sales with the majority being between $50 million and $500 million in annual revenue. During the interviews I always ask the salespeople to describe the top challenges they were facing. Specifically, I try to find the obstacles that prevent them from closing more business (as opposed to a general list of items that made their job more difficult). No Decision.

CDW report shows challenges of personal mobile devices in the workplace. By Joseph Conn The potential blessings of smartphones and tablets carry with them the potential curse of health information insecurity, but there is no ducking the challenges of both, according to a multi-industry survey of IT leaders. Nine out of 10 of the 1,200 IT professionals surveyed across eight industries, including healthcare, expect the growing use of personal mobile devices to have a major impact on their organizations, while 92% indicate they've already encountered challenges in their organizations due to the devices, according to new report, “Mobility at Work,” by technology seller CDW, of Vernon Hills, Ill.

“Mobile computing taps and taxes every aspect of information technology management, and the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) phenomenon represents one of the greatest challenges for IT professionals, empowering worker choice and productivity while protecting the organization's network, data and assets,” the report authors said. Present Slides, Distribute Documents. Startup Helps You Connect with Those You Don't Yet Know. Friend of a friend: Hachi wants to help users connect with new people by scoring the strength of relationships in different social chains connecting them.

The higher the score, the more likely it is that following that particular chain will get you an introduction. Social networks like Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn make it easy to keep in touch with people you already know, but what if you want to connect with someone you haven’t met? You can always ask a mutual acquaintance to introduce you. On LinkedIn, you can see several degrees of connections between yourself and others to facilitate this process. But some introductions are bound to be better than others, simply because of the relationships between the people making them.

At least, that’s the supposition behind a Bangalore, India-based startup called Hachi. “With connections spread all over, my network had become a maze, and I was looking for ways to navigate this maze whenever I had to reach out to someone new,” she says.

(MoneyWatch) So the time has come to communicate a major change at your organization. Maybe it is a downsizing, a restructuring, or a switch to a "better" compensation system (ha, not bloody likely). Unfortunately, we've all seen how such announcements often unfold. Employees huddle in the cafeteria, where the CEO makes an impassioned speech worthy of a football coach (or not). Following the usual call to win one for the team, the company launches a communications campaign on several fronts. But the game is already lost. 1. 2. 3. 4. While other forms of communication should not be abolished, the emphasis should be on making supervisors privileged receivers of information.
