Can Struggling Japanese Companies Actually Beat The Snot out of Fast-moving Silicon Valley Firms?

2/7/2014

By James Santagata
Executive Director, Asia-Pacific Coaching Alliance; Principal Consultant, SiliconEdge

Picture
Over the last twenty years, and accelerating in the last 7 years, not only Japan but the entire world has begun to question Japan's ability to innovate and create as companies such as Apple and Samsung rule Japan's former stomping grounds and gleefully gorge themselves on Japanese companies' bento boxes on a daily basis.

Meanwhile, once mighty and innovative Japanese firms like Sony and Panasonic bleed red and constantly try to slough off workers while peddling a staid if uninspiring set of "me-too" and "also-ran" product lines.

How far has Sony fallen? Well, it's gotten to be so bad that if Sony founder, Akio Morita, were to magically re-appear today and venture over to the front entrance of Sony Japan, he wouldn't  recognize the place.  Worse, if he then decided to apply for a position, not only wouldn't they hire him, they'd most likely call security and have him escorted off the premises.

But all is not lost.

Filtering Clients - Often More Important To Say "No" (12/29/2013)

12/29/2013

0 Comments

 
When one is business developing and signing new clients it's often more important to say "no" to clients that don't align or mesh with you working style, skill set, values or commitment to excellence than to have both parties become disillusioned or unhappy later.

It's often more important which clients you decide not to work with than which clients you do.

Coach For Impact!™ Expert Interview, Bill Gluth, Part 2 "Re-inventing Business & Aligning Yourself With The New Energies of The Marketplace"

11/15/2013

0 Comments

 
We talked to Bill about re-inventing business & aligning yourself with the new energies of the marketplace, specifically the "conscious redesign of business".

It's no secret that the market has change dramatically over the last  2, 3 even 4 years in that there's now so much information and so many iterations out there that everything is diluted with the end result being that the market has become completely numb.

Our talk with Bill should be of great interest to many in the coaching field as the market has become very crowded with the net result being that many coaches are now simply resigned to surviving rather than thriving.

These are the questions that we posed to Bill:
1) You say that the energy of business has changed with the advent of content marketing, social media, social networks, mobile devices and people connected 24/7. Can you discuss this in more detail?

2) How can (and should) coaches and business respond or react to this?

3) You mentioned a new definition for branding, what is this? [heart / creative (presence) vs mind / cognitive (branding)]

4) What are the mechanics and the step by step process for brand or presence development?

5) Can you walk us through your definition and the process of your no-pressure, heart vs mind-based sales process?

6) Can you explain what you mean by "not selling" but "inviting" and then maybe walk us through an example?

7) Give us an example of a hard close script using your process.

8) You mentioned there's a key difference between a customer and a client. What is it and what does it matter?

5) How do you define a brand?

6) What do you say to people who don't feel comfortable in selling or marketing themselves? Is there a way around that? Is there another way?

7) You talk about having a pressure free sales technique because "there is no sale to make". What are the mechanics of that?
(hint: Presence, Attraction, Invitation, Collaboration)
