Manufacturing still remains a vital part of the American economy. Many factors make America a great place for manufacturing: a large and nearby market, common language, good culture of business ethics, low cost fuel, strong design and engineering talent, robust distribution and logistics, reasonably low cost labor, and the overall trend to speed and faster turn-around time.
As such, manufacturing many products, when done best in class, can be done more cost-effectively in the U.S. than anywhere else.
But, how? How can we begin to improve our manufacturing plants to be the best that they can be?
Success…
This month, I thought to share some sales “fun facts” to get us all thinking of what we can do better to drive sales growth and success and move our companies forward.
I recently interviewed a professional buyer at a customer company who was looking to move into a sales role for our company. I asked how she would use her current experience as a buyer to be a better salesperson. Her response was a nice reminder of what good salespeople need to do every day.
In order to move our companies forward, we, as managers, need to get the right things done – the most important tasks that lead to success.
