...Sales Skills and Process Report Sales Skills and Process Report I began my search for a carport by looking and three different companies for variations in quality of materials used for construction and price. This structure is ultimately going to be used as a barn for horses. I found what I wanted at Midway Motors in Lawrenceburg, Indiana. Midway Motors is a dealer who prepares orders for their customers. I already knew some information about the carport Midway had for sale because I had a brochure and I also did some research on the internet before I went to talk to a sales person. This report is based on the purchasing of a carport. Probing Questions: Open ended and close ended I told the sales person I was looking for a carport to use as a beginning structure for a horse barn. To relieve my uncertainty and doubt about this product the sales person then informed me these structures are very popular in our area for the purpose I want to use it for. I was given basic general information about the product which is the dimensions of the carport which are 18 x21x 6 including overhung boxed eaves. Additionally, there are also thirteen different colors to choose from. The salesman also gave me an initial cost for the size structure I wanted. Customer Pain/Needs and Quantitative Questions: I wanted to know the price of the carport because I have a limited budget. I also wanted upgrades or options to increase the sturdiness of the structure. I also needed to have the...

... Spanking is a method of punishment in which an adult inflicts pain upon a child in response to their unsatisfactory behavior. At times, children forget to practice good behavior skills or they disobey their parent’s rules and commands, which results in being disciplined. As a frustrated parent continues to repeat commands and try’s to reason with the child it increases their frustration levels quite often. Most parents try their best to teach their child to understand what acceptable behavior is and what is unacceptable. When children are constantly disobedient, acting out at school or in public places, it makes the parent look bad and feel bad. At times, an anxious child likes to stick things in his or her pockets that do not belong to him or her or the child do not like to share things, when the time is appropriate. When out of control a child tends to talk back often trying to push the parent’s limits. After being loud, out of control and defiant continuously after being warned about a problem or punished in a less severe way repeatedly before actually being spanked, If the child still does not want to be obedient after the necessary steps have been taken then they should receive a more severe discipline such as a spanking. The process of spanking is a very agonizing and tormenting process. The child would suffer first by being forced to listen to a long lecture, instead of just receiving the spanking. Knowing what was coming after the speech brought a lot of fear and...

...Performance at Precision/Case Study #1 Jackson Smith has his work cut out for him in his task to implement a merit pay program that would tie to Precision’s performance appraisal process. According to Martocchio, a merit pay program assumes that employee’s compensation over time should be determined by differences in job performance. In other words, employees earn permanent merit increases based on their performance. The overarching challenge to overcome is that merit pay is considered an entitlement by the employees at Precision since everyone has received the same percentage increase across the board regardless of performance. Jackson is likely to experience strong resistance to the change, especially by those who are low performers. Additionally, the supervisors clearly are not trained in giving effective performance appraisals as most employees are rated as average and employees are only provided feedback one time per year. Another big hurdle is the lack of job descriptions. Without having a job description that clearly states expectations, a merit program cannot be established that would tie to the performance appraisal process as pay increases would continue to be based on the subjectivity of the supervisor. I believe that Precision wants to make a commitment to develop a pay plan that will motivate and reward group behavior. Gaining acceptance of the program will be crucial in creating a unified organizational culture. Precision clearly realizes that they need...

...business that can handle change will survive whereas those that don’t handle change may fail. The way a business manages change and how successful they are at it may vary depending on the nature of the business as well as the amount of change needed and the people involved. To keep up with competition it’s important to respond to the needs of the business. Goals include doing things that create and maintain quality performance by employees. The first important step in the process is recognizing the need for change. Unfortunately, not all employees may recognize the state of a company. Employees may disagree with the condition of the business. It would be vital to have an overall understanding of the need for change. The communication can’t be in the form of a memo or announcement. There needs to be strategic renewal where the intent is to regain sustainable competitive advantage. Change in the organization needs to align the internal process that demands new strategies to find new talent and skills of its employees. The goal being lasting changes in employee behavior to support strategic renewal. According to Sector (2010), effective strategic renewal needs behavioral change that targets patterns of employee actions and interactions to meet the company’s strategy and to achieve and sustain outstanding performance. Behavior is said to come from both the person and the organizational context in which the person works. It’s the setting and circumstances of which we work. ...

...innovative research, and many other programs listed in the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA).” This paper is going to go through the process of writing a grant proposal, using a new program called “Encouraging Families” as an example. Encouraging Families is a new program that is part of the PEACE Domestic Violence Agency. New Program Idea PEACE Domestic Violence Agency’s mission “is to reduce victim trauma, empower survivors, and promote recovery through direct services.” PEACE encourages domestic violence victims to get help and move on. They also help young adults get the education needed to stop the cycle of abuse. PEACE even provides a rehabilitation program for young adults. What it does not do is help those families get the job skills they need. Sometimes families want to be reunited, but have a member in jail and do not know how to go about reuniting. Encouraging Families is a new program that will work with the families, including the member that is incarcerated. The primary focus of Encouraging Families is to work with all members on job skills and working on getting a job, so that is one less stressor to reunification. Encouraging Families will start working with the family when the incarcerated family member will be getting released within 90 days. The staff of Encouraging Families will help all members with basic job skills, such as filling out...

...Assignment The Hiring Process Jessica Berry Small Business Management AB209-01 July 22, 2014 Interviewing is a very big part in the selection process of employees, it gives the employer a chance to meet the job candidate, and get a general idea of who they are. The problem I find with interviews is that the job candidate can give you all the right answers, but are they deceiving you just so they will be hired. Are their answers to the interview questions honest, or just what they think I want to hear? Interviewing can be helpful in the selection process, but it should not be the only step (Longenecker,2014). GBC is a very small company at this point, so the owners (Scott, Wayne and Myself) would be the ones in charge of recruitment and hiring for the company. I would do most of the work, but would keep them involved in the process and the three of us would make the final selections. There would be 5 steps in GBC Cleanings’ hiring process. The first step we talked about last week, and that would be determining exactly what the company needs and then posting a job on an employment website. This would be something that I would handle for GBC. The second part of our process would be reviewing the applications and selecting the best candidates for the job. This would be handled by all three owners, because Scott and Wayne know more about what they are looking for in a custodian or equipment operator. I would definitely want their input during this process. The third part of...

...Acquisition of a New System The staffing of a health care organization is a crucial part of running a successful and profitable business. The selection and acquisition process is an important part of any successful information technology project. Understanding the needs, costs, regulations, barriers, obstacles, security issues are all crucial parts of a successful selection and acquisition process. Understanding these parts of the process allows for the implementation of the staffing program. It is also requires a realistic time line for the entire process. During the summer of 2007, Memorial Health System in Colorado was using up to 100 nurses, therapists, administrative support personnel and other health professionals from outside staffing agencies at any given time. After deploying scheduling software, the three hospitals and about a dozen ancillary facilities of the Colorado Springs-based delivery system are using just four to six outside workers at a time. (Cutting Down on Temporary Staff, 2009) Understanding how to select and acquire a new program like a staffing program can increase a facilities overall success. Needs Assessment “A staff scheduling system should be more than just filling a hole or finding a warm body. You want a system that can find the appropriate person with skills and qualifications needed to do the job” (Garcia, 2000). In order to choose the correct staff scheduling system the specific needs of the facility need to be meet. A...

...situation, then make a recommendation to management on how to fix the problem. A key reason is “Employee training helps increase productivity at the business. If workers are confused about a process or lack the knowledge required to complete the job successfully, they may waste work hours trying to figure out the concept.”( www.ehow.com). To help with issues that might arise with management that is against implementing a training program, one can point out that it “Increase’s efficiencies in processes, resulting in financial gain.”( managementhelp.org). Management may be hesitant at first because of the possible cost in initiating a training program. Also management might worry about employees being resistant to going back a learning or relearning a process or skill for their job. Though again it should be pointed out that employee mistakes costs firms money, and training can cost money but also can save money in the long run. It is important for training to be presented to employees in a fashion that it is conducive to learning. In order for management to go forward on a training program and use training in the future, the training has to show results. “Training needs to be presented in context so that participants can absorb the principles and practice the skills, in the context of their daily roles. Training like this can bore participants to tears and turn them against learning. How easily people can become disillusioned, skeptical and even cynical...
