CEO Led Sales - The new model to...

Andrew Phillips

CEO-Led Sales outlines The Right Model to revolutionise your sales process and dramatically improve your confidence in the predictability of your sales numbers. This has to start from the top with you, the CEO.
As the CEO of a sales organisation, how many times have you said to yourself:
"thank god our customers are buying because we're not selling"
"we had ten-times pipeline coverage, but we still missed our number?"
Or ... heard from your sales leads the following:
"the person who was going to sign off on our deal has gone on leave"
"this is a strategic deal - we must discount to win"
"they decided to do nothing?"
If these lines sound familiar, then your sales team is stuck in the past. They are struggling to keep pace
with the market and will continue to stumble into the future. That's not to say you won't make your
numbers on occasion, but you can be guaranteed your company won't be the clear leader in its market.
This creates distrust with your sales team and that uneasy feeling of not being sure you will meet your
targets.
Is there a better way?
After twenty years as a senior IT sales leader addressing this problem and demonstrating measurable
success across multiple organisations, Andrew Phillips knows there is.
CEO-Led Sales outlines The Right Model to revolutionise your sales process and dramatically improve
your confidence in the predictability of your sales numbers. This has to start from the top with you, the
CEO.
The process is a multi-year investment to transform your sales organisation. It's challenging, but the
results are consistent and the revenue reliable. Andrew Phillips invites you to take the next step and
discover the benefits of CEO-Led Sales.

The Effluent Society

Norman Thelwell

Artist Norman Thelwell is best known for his cartoons depicting plump, petulant ponies and their young riders, but The Effluent Society shows another aspect of his work and character. Thelwell was passionate about the countryside and nature. During his life he became increasingly concerned about the impact of development, pollution and society's treatment of the environment. When The Effluent Society was first published in 1971, his concerns were way ahead of their time. Today, environmental and conservation issues are in the mainstream and have become a global priority.

Although the cartoons focus on a serious topic there is no mistaking Thelwell's inimitable style. He used his talent and humour to convey a powerful message: the need to protect the environment. He also takes a wry look at modern life and so-called progress. Thelwell admitted that out of all his books, The Effluent Society was the one that gave him the greatest 'personal satisfaction' and, as such, the re-issue of this title is a fitting tribute to the artist.
