Strong Companies Get Stronger in Downturns… Would Yours?

Alfred Marcus, Director of the Carlson School’s Strategic Management Research Center and author of Big Winners and Big Losers, has been researching the effect good and bad economic times have on the number of companies that win and lose. While the strong get stronger, the weak get weaker—the business world’s law of natural selection. He says the findings are important because bad economic times test the prowess of strategic management teams for managing change.

I submit that the same is true for sales organizations as well.

That’s why I’ve invited my colleague, and CEO of Career Success Seminars John Condry to the Twin Cities. His May 16-17 presentation, Cornerstones of Managing for High Performance, will help you build the prowess of your revenue generation team, so it overcomes current and future obstacles. You’ll learn how to identify and correct behaviors that lead to unpredictable revenue, disappointing margins, costly sales turnover, and frustrating, long sell cycles, and unmet revenue objectives.

In his book, Marcus says: “…companies that achieve sustained competitive advantage do not just occupy sweet spots…Agility brings these companies to sweet spots, discipline allows them to protect and defend these spots, and focus enables them to exploit the spots…A firm must possess all these qualities. It must be agile—not entirely bound by the past, but free to reinvent itself for an uncertain future by moving into new territory. It must have the discipline to cultivate the strengths and competencies it needs to protect the space it occupies.”

Discipline. Creativity. Results.
