Summary

This work offers a summary of the book "THE ULTIMATE SALES MACHINE: Turbocharge Your Business with Relentless Focus on 12 Key Strategies" by Chet Holmes.
Chet Holmes is a corporate trainer and business strategist who has consulted with more than a 1,000 companies. He has designed advertising and sales systems for companies in hundreds of industries and has developed 65 training products that sell in more than 20 countries.
According to Holmes, you only have to focus on 12 basic things or core competencies to turn your business into the "Ultimate Sales Machine". Success comes from doing the right things with pigheaded determination and persistence. In The Ultimate Sales Machine, the author thoroughly describes the twelve building blocks that you must have in place if your company is to succeed long term.
As Holmes explains, "you can profoundly improve your company or department if you absolutely commit to one hour per week in which you do nothing else but work on making the business much more effective". The Ultimate Sales Machine offers a path that businessmen who want their business to be more effective would be wise to follow.

    Driven - How Human Nature Shapes...

    In this highly provocative book, two Harvard Business School  professors synthesize 200 years of thought from the biological and  social sciences to formulate a new theory of human nature.  Comparable to Daniel Goleman's Emotional Intelligence,  Lawrence and Nohria's work examines the four drives that influence  the choices people make. These innate and often conflicting drives  are the drive to acquire, the drive to bond, the drive to learn and  the drive to defend.    The authors have studied the way people behave in the most  fascinating setting of human behavior: the workplace. They have  considerable training in all the human behavioral sciences and  choose the best each has to offer while avoiding entrenched biases.  As a result, they have started to bridge the gap between the latest  findings from evolutionary biology and insights about humanity  derived from the social sciences. In doing so, they have in essence  laid a foundation for a unified understanding of human behavior.     Not only does this book illuminate the mystery of human behavior,  it also predicts that just as advances in information technology  spurred the new economy at the end of the 20th Century, the current  advances being made in biology will be the key to understanding  humans and organizations in the 21st.

  • Once Upon a Car - The Fall and Resurrection of America's Big Three Automakers—GM Ford and Chrysler - cover

    Once Upon a Car - The Fall and...

    Once Upon a Car is the brilliantly reported inside-the-boardrooms-and-factories story of Detroit’s fight for survival, going beyond the headlines to chronicle how the country’s Big Three auto companies—General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler—teetered on the brink of collapse during the 2008 financial crisis. In a tale that reads like a corporate thriller, Bill Vlasic, who has covered the auto industry for more than fifteen years, first for the Detroit News and now for the New York Times, takes readers into the executive offices, assembly plants, and union halls to introduce a cast of memorable characters, many of whom are speaking out for the first time, including the executives who struggled to save their companies but in the end had to seek a controversial, last-gasp rescue from the U.S. government.Vlasic goes behind the scenes to portray the men at the top during Detroit’s last stand. Rick Wagoner, the CEO of General Motors, tried to turn around a dying company, only to be forced to resign as a condition of the government bailout. Bill Ford, great-grandson of the legendary Henry Ford, had the will to keep Ford alive but needed the guts to hire an unknown outsider, Alan Mulally, to transform the company before it crashed. At Chrysler, leadership was constantly changing as new owners tried in vain to fix the smallest of the beleaguered Big Three. And through it all, the president of the United Auto Workers union, Ron Gettelfinger, fought to save the jobs of the men and women who build American-made cars and trucks.This tale of an iconic industry in crisis is more than a big business drama and provides a rich, unvarnished portrait of how Detroit’s decline affected tens of thousands of workers and dozens of communities nationwide. The story moves from the gleaming corporate skyscrapers and massive auto plants to the halls of the U.S. Congress and into the Oval Office, where President Obama and his aides wrestled with how to keep General Motors and Chrysler from going out of business. Vlasic shows why the bailout worked, and how Detroit can succeed under new leadership and build automobiles equal to any in the world. Once Upon a Car tells a uniquely American tale of success, failure, and redemption. It is an important and illuminating chapter in an astonishing story that is still unfolding. And no one is more qualified to write it than Bill Vlasic.
