Can i persist?

Just finish read a Chinese book name <全中国最穷的小伙子发财日记>. it is a very long story but i spent 2 days to finish the book. Feel not going to explain the whole story, but may be a summary: how a well educated & young guy who has a family with a son drop from rich status to poor, live like a beggar for years, then use his own hands to become a successful millionaire businessman.

Feel that my current situation just like him, may be not same as him that poor till have no job and money, but lost myself, my life goal. He found his own way, step by step and become a successful businessman.

I dont like my current sales job in this line, I want to have my own business, but too sad i have no brave enough to take even my first step.

I just brought a house, which become part of the burden and concern to my path to start a business. On the other way, it also is strongly motivate me to find a new way to increase my income.

Just talked with my darling this evening, she pointed out my weakness again -- i am impatience. i tried online business(sell gift) and food delivery business. and both started with very enthusiasm, but ended very fast within 2-3 months, just because i feel the business is not profitable and i gave up.

Now, i have the thought to start own business again, because of i am totally lost my interests in my current job. I cannot find my job satisfaction and motivation, what i can get is only the monthly salary.

I find myself have depraved for years. I want to change! 

I want to buy over a business, but i dont know what kind of business I am looking for, and the most importance,

Can i persist to the business?

To Build a Great Sales Team, You Need a Great Manager

If you had to decide between having a team of excellent salespeople with an average manager, or having a team of average salespeople with an excellent manager, which would you choose?

Many will argue for the team of excellent salespeople:

• "It's salespeople — not managers — who develop and nurture the customer relationships that drive sales."
• "Replacing one average manager is easier than replacing an entire team of average salespeople."
• "An excellent salesperson doesn't need managing."

Others will argue for the excellent manager:

• "Excellent managers consistently recruit the best sales talent. 'First-class hires first-class; second-class hires third-class.'"
• "Excellent managers motivate excellent salespeople, develop average salespeople to make them excellent, and keep the entire team engaged and aligned."
• "Excellent salespeople make sales today, but eventually they retire, get promoted, or get wooed away by a competitor."

Clearly, the best sales forces have both excellent salespeople and excellent managers. A team of excellent salespeople will win sales and make this year's goal, regardless of who the manager is. But the success of that team will be short-lived. Eventually, an average manager will bring all of the salespeople that he manages down to his level. On the other hand, an excellent manager will bring excellence to all her territories. An excellent manager may inherit average salespeople, but in the long run she will counsel, coach, motivate, or replace salespeople until the entire team is excellent.

In past experience, companies that have winning sales forces start with excellent managers. Most sales organizations focus considerable energy to build a team of excellent salespeople, yet regrettably, they focus too little attention on building the management team, which is truly "the force behind the sales force." 

别一个人吃午餐

一对一午餐

读过了这一篇文章，觉得着这一些小小的方法值得运用。之前看过有位名人（忘了是谁）说：不要一个人吃午餐。

他的意思就是：每一天的午餐，都要找人一起吃，不要一个人静静孤独的吃。

每天找不同的人吃午餐，多了解他们的近况，了解他们的想法，听听他们的分享，当然也分享自己的想法和事情。从中，拉近彼此的关系。通过他们的分享了解认识更多的事情知识。

就像以上文章的分享所说，个人有听过的例子里，一位老板找下属吃饭时，说的经常都是工作目标的事情，反而让到下属更加的反感。个人觉得，多聊聊一些最近发生看到的事情回来的更好，而不是一直注重在公事。
