On this episode, your host Joe Dalton welcomes Joseph McMahon to talk about RialtoLabs, a company focused on utilizing underutilized technology.
Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has been around for a while, but the recent convergence of technologies such as cloud, and AI machine learning algorithms aligning with the increased quality and availability of handheld portable NIRS devices have opened up new possibilities for its field applications.
McMahon also discusses how NIRS can be integrated into a laboratory's workflow, which can reduce the use of toxic chemicals and consumables by 75%. Additionally, NIRS makes it easier to analyze soil health, which is critical in delivering ecosystem services. They discuss how the use of this technology can decrease a laboratory's overhead costs while also increasing its productivity and profitability.
The conversation then turns to RialtoLabs, McMahon talks about how the company was formed and how they are working to create an AI model that can provide accurate nutrient information analysis in real-time. They also discuss the potential for near-infrared spectroscopy in developing nations and other regions.

How well do you communicate? There are a few things that you can do to deliver a better message. 1) The personal aspect of your presentation, so understanding the importance of a good physical presence.
2) Every time we speak, we are either communicating or not. If we're communicating, then we're demonstrating our understanding of language and influence. But is a message just a message? Being able to clearly communicate what it is that you want to tell someone and why they should listen is an important part of being a successful speaker.

Selling Made Easy, 5 Simple Steps
There are a lot of conversations about the sales process and many books have been written on the subject. From my experience, the sales presentation can be played on a single page.
Here's a very simple process that can offer you and your team results:
Contact.
Striking up a conversation and building rapport. Taking a genuine interest in the person
Categorise.
Asking questions, listen, listen, listen. See if your offer is a good natural fit for the sales conversion to continue. If the sales conversion is to continue, time to establish if their interest is a desire or a need.
Convince.
Bring your product/ service into the conversation. Make sure it’s ticking all the boxes from what they told you in the categorising stage of the conversation.
Close.
Recap! that you have matched all their needs or desires. Establish if there are any other questions that need to be answered. Ask for a commitment.
Complete.
Do all necessary paperwork, cross T & I, explain what will happen next.
Selling Made Easy, 5 Simple Steps.
