2011 Nov | Volume 6, Issue 10: Creating THEATRE in your market - Part 2 | | |
I want to stimulate your thinking. In the current climate, people do have money and they will spend given the right inspiration. Retailers need to change. We not only have the baby boomers, post baby boomers and X generation but I read recently that the Y generation have been ignored by many retailers. This generation makes up much of the market today. It is estimated that, in Australia alone, they have 1.5 billion dollars a year to spend – and not just on technology, research shows spending on food, drink, toys and clothes.

2011 Oct | Volume 6, Issue 9: Negotiation and the PROBE Technique | | |
When I became General manager of Harvey Norman’s computer division in the 1990’s it was little more than a discount store. I knew that to grow the business we needed to get the big computer brands on board. Brands such as Hewlett Packard, IBM and Apple. The problem was that those suppliers did not want to necessarily be associated with a discount house. They did not want to change the way they did business. Our discount store was little more than a joke to many of the big computer brands at the time. Category : Learning Library - 60 Seconds with Achievers Group - Tony Gattari | |||

Most sane people will quit!

2011 Oct | Volume 6, Issue 9: A highly effective people manager manages conflict well | | |
As business owners and managers we will be presented with conflict regularly and the inevitable tough conversations ensue. How we manage ourselves through these situations will either add or subtract from our leadership. It will either build confidence in our leadership style or whittle it away. Therefore knowing our preferred style of approaching conflict builds self awareness and, with that understanding, we can grow.

2011 Sep | Volume 6, Issue 8: Connecting | | |
Good customer connection has actually been proven as more important than the value of products or services. Stanford University recently released a study that showed 87% of success in business is based on connection with people, only 13% (yes 13%) on product knowledge. Naturally we can’t provide poor products or we will lose what loyalty we’ve gained. Category : Learning Library - 60 Seconds with Achievers Group - Peter Irvine | |||
