JAMB RESULT COMPROMISED!!

Please folks ,i need help. The son of my neighbour has been crying since 2 weeks because we checked his results on line ,he scored 260 but when he went to the Jamb center ,his results dropped to 157. Thank God we printed out the first results. The mother went to complain ,they first of all told her to go to Abuja(where as he wrote his exam in Lagos) ,then they said there is nothing we can do and we should just accept the second results. I am confused...Is it that they sold his results ? I don't understand what has happened on the way. Something is sure the system is faulty .Can someone do something here ? Can someone intervene ? Please !!

A great salesperson networks with other people within their industry.What this entails is that  you attend social gatherings where people with like minds meet to discuss business and how to make it right.  It's vital you also network with people in your line of competence such as associations,institute, clubs and the likes who have experienced in  what you do and i know you are sure on your way to the top.

Nobody grows beyond himself.We need other people to guide us in becoming who we want to become and as we are guided, our mind is configured  to become more ion what we do. As a sales person, a mentor will tell you what to do and where to go and how they did it  to close up deals.

Expect questions like : why should i buy from you?

PHISHING CAMPAIGN HAS BEEN SPOTTED ON LINKEDIN

A new phishing campaign has been spotted hitting LinkedIn users via direct messages, feeds and the LinkedIn InMail feature. When you click a link, it takes you to a spam website instead of the destination link. On feeds, LinkedIn gives you an idea of the destination domain.  This spam hijacks that link. LinkedIn shortens links with its internal URL shortener. This spam attacks the shortener, inserting itself in a compromised account. The easiest way to fix this problem is to change your account password. Make sure you indicate that all devices must use the new password. You better do the change immediately.

THE BUSINESS VALUE WE ARE BRINGING ON THE TABLE.

In management, business value is an informal term that includes all forms of value that determine the health and well-being of the firm in the long run. ... Business value often embraces intangible assets not necessarily attributable to any stakeholder group.

I recently came across a old friend and we got talking about a lot of things from business to family and a whole chain of issues that meant so much to us. After a while I asked him how his business was doing and he shook his head to my greatest surprise which I immediately interpreted to mean business was not going well for him . I asked him if we were still in the same industry or if he had deviated and he emphatically told me he was still practicing the same trade. That’s wonderful! I told him but I have moved beyond that single trade.

I reminded him about the visions of diversifying into other trade while operation the very business he started. The question is what’s new on board that you are bringing to your customers? People won’t call you if your service is obsolete.

Are you bringing innovation into the business or are you just stucked doing the old thing over and over again. A vivid example Is Nokia, while other smart phones went touchscreen ,Nokia remained with the old experience of using keypads on mobile devices while some other companies were busy bringing more value to the technology space. Friends, it’s a pity that we are loosing our very good customers to other’s who are thinking ahead of the competition and that is the beginning of fall for most businesses today around the world. 

Please take a little time to audit your partner list and ask yourself and your sales team why most of them don’t call again for our product and services?
Is it that they are not buying again or are they out of capital to buy? If they are still in business ,it means they are buying a better brand giving more value to their own customers .This is just the bare truth No one is telling you!

My friend later checked his product list and found out he needed to partner with other technology companies that sell better value to bring value to his own customers. His usual product was already failing him ,yet he got stucked to it. 

Change is very important in business and the change am talking about is asking you to create value for you to stay relevant  or invariably, sooner or later you will be out of the market .
NB: You cannot be the buyer and seller and that means you need to work in the direction of the niche you belong to.

For example, Sooner or later, many companies will be out of the business because they have refused to move in the direction of technology while others are investing a whole lot of money to secure the space for their companies in the future .Any company that will be ahead must think ahead and that relates to the quote by Toyota ; Good thinking, Good product. Think ahead and keep adding value to you world!

BIG DATA AND TODAY'S BUSINESS

Big data is a collection of data from traditional and digital sources inside and outside your company that represents a source for ongoing discovery and analysis.
Some people like to limit  big data to digital inputs like web character and social network interactions; however a lot of people will  agree that we can’t exclude traditional data derived from product transaction information, financial records and interaction channels, such as the call center and point-of-sale. All of that is big data, too, even though it may be dwarfed by the volume of digital data that’s now growing at an exponential rate in the world today.
In defining big data, it’s also important to understand the mix of unstructured and multi-structured data that comprises the volume of information.
Unstructured data comes from information that is not organized or easily interpreted by traditional databases or data models, and typically, it’s text-heavy. Metadata, Twitter tweets, and other social media posts are good examples of unstructured data.
Multi-structured data refers to a variety of data formats and types and can be derived from interactions between people and machines, such as web applications or social networks. A great example is web log data, which includes a combination of text and visual images along with structured data like form or transactional information.  As digital disruption transforms communication and interaction channels—and as marketers enhance the customer experience across devices, web properties, face-to-face interactions and social platforms—multi-structured data will continue to evolve.
Industry leaders like the global analyst firm Gartner use phrases like “volume” (the amount of data), “velocity” (the speed of information generated and flowing into the enterprise) and “variety” (the kind of data available) to begin to frame the big data discussion. Others have focused on additional V’s, such as big data’s “veracity” and “value.”
One thing is clear: Every enterprise needs to fully understand big data – what it is to them, what it does for them, what it means to them –and the potential of data-driven marketing, starting today. Don’t wait. Waiting will only delay the inevitable and make it even more difficult to unravel the confusion.
Once you start dealing with  big data, you’ll learn what you don’t know, and you’ll be inspired to take steps to resolve any problems. Best of all, you can use the insights you gather at each step along the way to start improving your customer engagement strategies; that way, you’ll put big data marketing to work and immediately add more value to both your offline and online interactions.

REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD CARE ABOUT BIG DATA ANALYTICS.

While big data analytics is truly power tool ,its often treated by business as  nice to have, but somebody that isn’t totally necessary .This is clear mistake.Keep in mind that if you aren’t using big data analytics to your benefit ,your competitors  are using it to their’s.

Given how competitive the economy has become today and that nearly every industry is balking under the weight of more and more competition, you need to leverage big data analytics to your benefit ,and do so wisely. This can lead  to you being in the position of  making more solid business decision and having the goods to back it up.

Big data analytics help you to answer key questions about your customers, such as who your best customers are ,and what your customers want, and why people choose different brands  can also be gleaned from these analytics.

There are only a few of the many advantages and benefits possed by this incredible technology.

Big data is changing the way business is been carried out in today's woreplace and you can't afford to let your competitors leverage on it before you do.
