Education in Dubai is developing at fast pace
No business owner I know is eager to admit things are rocky.
One thing about a depressed economy is that it puts everyone in the same boat, or in this case, on the same roller coaster, though some of us are right up front, watching the next drop or twist coming, while others are in the back of that roller coaster in that "waiting" space of fear, wondering what surprise twist will come next.
Hence I've ten sales trends or predictions for 2014 in the world of selling.
1. All salesforces, whatever they're selling, will finally realise that the customer is fully in control, not them anymore. This will have wide implications to the sales practices, helping customers to buy rather than selling to them.

Others wonder how anyone can find time to read, eat, and even sleep. Don't let that be you. A few helpful tips include:
* Take regular breaks throughout the day. WALK. Business can be conducted on a walk and the fresh air will do you good.
* Pack healthy snacks. You don't have to bring your lunch daily, if that's not your thing, but you can pack healthy snacks to eat on the go. You'd be surprised at what a pick-me-up some nuts and cheese, or veggies can be. Hey, don't mock it till you've tried it.
* Stress has you thinking short-term, rather than long-term goals. The good news here is that if you're thinking goals at all, you're moving in the right direction, but living just short-term goals is like living paycheck to paycheck.
The education system in Dubai is same as it as in other emirate cities in the UAE. If you have almost any concerns relating to where and tips on how to employ ets toeic, it is possible to contact us from our website. The academic system in place divides the education in different levels such as primary, secondary and collegiate education. The Ministry of Education of UAE, with a view to give education in Dubai a major fillip has encouraged development of new schools and colleges.
6. Stress comes with the territory. One can't own a completely stress-free business. But business owners can reduce stress significantly by stepping back, assessing where they've been, determining a clear path for where they want to go, and mapping out their 90-day plan. They key is in knowing what to systemize.
What in your business can be automated, for instance, without losing the "personal" connection with your customers? What can be made paperless?
Of course, what's not mentioned above is the absolute necessity for business owners to take care of themselves, both mentally and physically. Every business owner is different. Some of us are voracious readers, and it's important to keep up with trends and tips.
Your business need not be a roller-coaster ride, or you, the business owner, tethered to some reluctant elephant. But it should be a thrill, and as a business coach, my job is to make sure that success is part of the ride.
Here's to a happy, healthy, prosperous New Year.
2. Salesforces will begin to ditch their old fashioned sales processes for one aligned to their customer's buying process and will gain entry much later in that cycle but will learn how to provide added value rather than be a pitcher of products or services.
4. Sales training will continue to migrate online. MOOCs are beginning to dominate education and companies will see more of their sales development going online in the form of video and other multimedia consumed on a variety of devices -- mobile, tablet, laptop.
Training will be absorbed in smaller chunks and be complemented with focussed live coaching.
5. Salespeople will be adopting more channels to make contact with buyers. The usual suspects -- email, instant messaging, texing, Twitter, phone, video conferencing -- will be used. Email will fall in popularity as the latter stage Generation Y come to age since they don't "dig" email.
Business owners, for instance, are often surprised that if they took some of the funds set aside for advertising and put those funds into business coaching, they could earn enough to cover both the coaching and future advertising. The real cincher here is to know what to invest in. Do you, for instance, have updated equipment and software?
Do you know how to buy customers? Buying customers is the art of getting more customers with far less money than you are spending on advertising, and it's a smart way to get your customers to invest in you and your company. It also makes business ownership FUN.
* Trying to cover all functions in your business. You're the leader, right? The one in charge. But often business owners like yourself have honorable intentions, yet fall into the trap of taking on too much responsibility , landing them in the trapful thinking that they are the only ones that can handle everything (Yes, I made up the word trapful, but I bet you know what I'm saying).
See that dark tunnel up ahead? Get ready, because you're about to duck into it and there are probably some very sharp turns awaiting you!
