Zippo Manufacturing Company

Linda L. Meabon

Sinossi

A photographic history of the family-owned Pennsylvania company that became a household name and a global success story.  
 
The Zippo Manufacturing Company was founded in 1932 in Bradford, Pennsylvania, by George G. Blaisdell, who designed the first Zippo lighter in 1933; since then, Zippo has produced nearly four hundred million lighters. The product line eventually expanded to include tape measures and pocket knives. Zippo entered the specialty advertising market in 1935, when the Kendall Refinery ordered five hundred lighters that displayed its name—and since then, the Zippo lighter has become a commemorative showcase for corporate logos, special events, and famous places throughout the United States and around the world. 
 
Zippo has been owned and operated by the Blaisdell family for more than seventy years. Zippo Manufacturing Company contains photographs of the Blaisdells, the Zippo Riders, the Zippo ski slope, the Zippo car, special-edition lighters, and scenes from the town of Bradford. Zippo archives and private collections have yielded rare photographs of Zippo employees at work, company and collector events, and other highlights in the company's history—making for a lively journey though this unique piece of American culture.

The Hybrid Sales Channel - How...

Rich Blakeman

Customers are changing the way they buy. Why aren't you changing the way you sell?

Today's customers have more buying options than ever before. They don't care if it's direct or indirect. They don't mind if it's not your preferred sales model. And they don't like it when you try to tell them how to buy from you. If you want your customers to keep buying-and your company to keep growing-you need to rethink and retool the way you're selling. You need to go "hybrid."

The Hybrid Sales Channel shows you how to integrate, invigorate, and maximize the direct and indirect sales channels you already have-so you'll be able to:

SELL MORE. Grow your sales organically and exponentially faster.

SELL MORE EFFICIENTLY. Align the right resources from all sales channels to the right selling opportunities.

SELL IN THE WAYS THAT CUSTOMERS WANT TO BUY. Focus on how your customer buys, not on how you want to sell.

Developed by the sales performance leaders at MHI Global, this test-driven, customer-based approach to selling will revolutionize your sales channels, reenergize your sales teams, and reignite your sales growth-efficiently, holistically, and rapidly. This is the future of direct and indirect sales, a newly organized, easily implemented sales model inspired by a changing market and empowered customer base. With The Hybrid Sales Channel, you'll have the best of all worlds-and get the best of all results.

If you're like most companies, you probably think your direct and indirect sales channels are more than sufficient for handling customers' needs-and you don't need to spend time or money developing a "hybrid" version of what you already have. But the truth is: you do. The truth is: a higher and higher percentage of customers are buying through partners and less through direct channels. The truth is: You need to adapt to the market-and you need to do it now-using The Hybrid Sales Channel.

This fully intergrated, fully operational approach to selling is built on the same concept as a hybrid car with dual engines. This step-by-step guide shows you how to put it all together-quickly and easily. Learn how to:

Merge two methodologies to ignite new growth

Drive more sales, better sales, and faster sales

Speak to your core customer using The MHI Global Sales System (TM)

Remove competition and confusion between routes to market

Prepare for territory level execution and larger market coverage

Improve company alignment-and make extraordinary things happen

However you decide to sell your products or services, the customer will ultimately decide how they want to buy them. The Hybrid Sales Channel gives you the tools you need to adapt to changing customer habits in the fastest, most efficient way possible. You'll find sales-targeted tips for choosing the right coverage for the right opportunity, money-saving strategies to avoid duplicate work, and cross-checking techniques to keep direct and indirect sales running smoothly. You'll also discover fascinating real-world examples of hybrid sales in action, and learn the best practices of the biggest sellers across the globe.

The 55 Soft Skills That Guide...

Dr. Tobin Porterfield, Bob Graham

Most people have heard of soft skills and perhaps can list one or two. The authors, Dr. Tobin Porterfield and Bob Graham, both university professors with extensive business backgrounds, have uncovered a list of 55 soft skills that employees and organizations are increasingly unleashing to spur innovation and growth.

This book lists each of the 55 soft skills, drawn from a review of hundreds of academic articles and their experiences in various industries, including manufacturing, energy, publishing, and start-ups. The book also explores how each of the soft skills might appear in the workplace. The result is a book that explains an important driver for success in this hyper-competitive, technology-first business climate.

By blending soft skills with people's technical skills, those aptitudes, competencies and expertise most education focuses on, employees and organizations can overcome challenges in today's complex workplace. As organizations, and the leaders and employees that work for them, seek a new edge to achieve greater productivity and innovation, focusing greater attention on soft skills could be the difference maker.

The authors discusses better-known soft skills like emotional intelligence, written communication and listening, as well as unrecognized soft skills like empathy, adapting to change, and persistence. Written in an actionable style, each chapter, which addresses a specific soft skill, serves as a powerful springboard for looking at work in new, exciting ways.

The 55 Soft Skills That Guide Employee and Organizational Success is perfect for executives, leaders, and employees in all fields, at all levels.
