A first networking event in years - a breakfast event at The Reform Club on Belfast's Royal Avenue in the company of business leaders, listening to journalist Simon Kuper talk about what business can learn from sport.
Simon has written books on Barcelona, taking a different approach to Damian Hughes but also writes extensively across other areas than sport. A journalist for the FT he brought a perspective to the topic that has me moderating my own view - that sports teams and business teams are very different my nature - there are clearly some areas of crossover.
A very worthwhile event and grateful for the invite as well as the opportunity to meet some very interesting people from different corners of the north. (thanks to Joanne at Clarendon and AAB and MLN.)

The 'Process is the Goal' - Part I. Advice for the sales leader.
Episode 1 of 2, were I talk about the importance of disciplined process in sales management and leadership. It's all pretty straightforward and common sense and yet many sales leaders are fixated to the outcome - the revenue target for the month, quarter or year instead of having a clearly defined sales management process that offers you every qualitative and qualitative measurement to ensure that you can respond quickly to any warning signs or potential areas of concern, in real time.
It can be a tough call for business owners who have usually taken the journey of hunter, gatherer to business leader and might want everything done in the 'old way' just because it has worked in the past. Today with so much technology and software to support the sales and marketing function, the sales management role has become easier but only when built around a solid process and implemented by a highly disciplined sales, marketing and admin team.
Episode 2 will focus on those processes that can help sales people navigate challenging economic times as well as the emotional highs and lows of sales.
