Exploring an alternative way of effective selling.


Exploring an alternative way of effective selling.

Globalization, indigenization and the vast constellation of business in the form of products and services requires a collective streamlined process of sales. In any flourishing and aspiring business, the sales people lead the race creating an umbilical cord for the business organization. Without proper sales, business is like a house of cards. Thus it evidently requires to stay focused in the frontline for any salesman. It is difficult and hectic but ain't impossible. A business organization is like a garden. The gardener is the best man to nurture the garden with floral and fruitful ambience. The gardener acts like a salesman who knows exactly how much water is to be fed to a particular plant for speedy and maximum growth. This makes the salesman an important member of the business ecology. The desirables are patience, hard work, steadiness and sturdiness. Lets take a look at other invaluable insider aspects of sales that would transform you to a prolific salesman, mapping equally the amount of success, growth and prosperity.

1. Knowledge: The first aspect of any business and consequential selling is the in depth know-how of product, prices, market trends, competition etc. For many a successful sales guys, knowledge is almost half the work done. Most of the salesmen are not given appropriate training and adequate resources, which can help them harness the product knowledge. Inevitably it could sometime backfire, sabotaging the entire business. Sometimes even a tiny and ignorable feature of your product could be the trump card for you. The world has changed and so is business. Customers and clients intents to know every detailed feature of a product or service. So be ready for it. Enhance your learning skill, gather knowledge and present optimistically. Remember life, Learning and knowledge are all the inseparable components of a hydrogen balloon. Inflating the balloon with hydrogen is learning where hydrogen can be related to knowledge which helps the balloon elevate and the balloon itself acts as our life. The same principle holds good for business as well. Extensive and in depth knowledge does keep a salesman on the horizon of success in any business.

2. Identification: Now you have all the knowledge of your product and your organization, the next step is identifying the nature of your client's business, its products, its markets etc. By doing this one can extract an appropriate idea about the need of clients. Even a slightest of hint or expression can execute the process and get your deal done. If you have only one product to sell, then an intelligent and interrogative questionnaire will give you all the facts you want. For multiple products, it is advisable to come handy with variety of questionnaire for the client. The bottom line is never let the client lose interest on you and your product. Keep on probing wherever necessary.

3. Conversation & Rapport Building: Perhaps the most valuable yet priceless skill is our next point. You know yourself, your company and now you got all the desired information about your client's business. Now it is time to talk. This step is similar to dating a girl. You see a beautiful girl, got mesmerized, retrieved a little information about her through her allies; so ask her for a date. Most of the successful sales guys usually get their job done at this stage. Now talking cannot be based on sensitive issues. I found political, business ethos and work experiences are the most clicked conversations. Yes, family and sports/movies related topics are all weather friendly vehicle to ride on. Narcissism has no role to play so better leave your narcissistic behavior in a dustbin. Being a good listener and diplomatic responder not only shows ur omni presence but also let the client generate a distinctive faith on you. Extrovert people usually make the most out of it. Let the relationship grow deep.

4. Self Confidence: I remember few instances, when a sales guy deliberately sold any product on misleading or falsifying statements and informations. Yet the deal was finalized and no further communications were noticed between the client and that sales agent thereafter. I also recall instances when a sales guy pro actively apologized for misleading information to the client, even long before a deal is being finalized. I would always pick the second instance to follow. It shows a goodwill gesture and righteous platform. A generous satisfactory pardonable response from the client after that mistake can exponentially boost your self confidence. Self Confidence can also be grown by following a routine structure and systematic holistic approach.

5. Imagination: As Einstein said "The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination". It is more precise than innovation. For it is, which leads to knitted dreams, sky high inspirations, spirited motivations and glorifying success. When hard work fails to do the trick, try to take some time out to imagine things in another way. In layman's term, try something out of the box. It helps to bring a vision and generate some unethical methods to approach a dead client or someone more of a finicky. I saw many guys who does their imagination work long before any persistence of a deal. We can call it pre determined home work. I also came across few sales agents who thinks a lot and retrospect simultaneously. People termed them as paranoid or nostalgic but the undeniable insider fact is that those agents are indeed best in business, so busy in knitting success and design a spell bounding approach to a client.

6. R&D: A very ancient proverb says that "When all the doors have been closed, God keeps open another hidden doorway". That's where R&D comes into play to locate the hidden door. An aspiring sales guy never gets disheartened or demotivated after a rejected deal. Instead he uses his extensive R&D skill to revitalize his existence. Just like a game of cricket. When you can't hit a boundary, try improvising and do R&D. The next ball is sure to find you a run or hopefully a tricky boundary. This involves trial and error method, finding a suitable reference, creating a choice based scenario and finding all different possible routes to the same spot. Anything that leads to unimaginable ways to re-enter an already dead deal is a by product of R&D. An intelligent, analytically bent researcher will find miraculous paths to retain his client. A pleasant rapport in the past may also get you the job done not necessarily instantly but someday it will.

7. Zeal: At this stage, you are not dead yet. May be bit tired. Repeat the above sentence again. That's what zeal is all about. Rejection and misfired deals are not choices but rather make them a chance to outperform your previous backlogs. Bring your sunny side on. Bring all the energy and enthusiasm to earn your incentives passionately and humbly.

8. Online Presence: Business deals and sales negotiations are not only done in office, telephonic or in field marketing but also internet. In the 21st century of immense technological and internet paradigm, it would be too naive to let go of it without using internet. Online presence and social media is undoubtedly an useful and giant tool to use and persuade clients and customers. Few professional platforms like LinkedIn, Glassdoor, Alibaba, Skype etc other than casual sites like Twitter, FaceBook, Watsapp does provide detailed structured informations and paves way for private conversations. In fact, now a days, a rigorously designed social media marketing is certainly a worthy implication of online presence. It is a very precisely sharp tool, which could cruise you to other correlated success and may enlighten a passage to unearth many more alternative and unethical ways of accomplishing business. With increasing usage of internet and social media, it is not necessary to reach a deal in wee office hours but try buzzing online late at night and you may luckily find your client in the chat box with a green pointer on, i.e. available for chat. Isn't it an exemplary innovative way? I sure think it is.

Apart from the aforementioned aspects it is also necessary to keep a constant tab on your soft skills and current affairs along with global business Environment. I am sure you don't wanna embarrass yourself by not knowing the exchange rates of major currencies or talking about a political leader or celebrity with your overseas client who is actually not interested neither in politics or life of an utopian celebrity.

Your love, My dream.

Standing on the ridge of emotional tenderness, I so get appalled by the stimulating beauty of your insideness.


The clouds of feelings, the rains of serendipity, the waves of love, Exalts me as through the winds of glory flies an unloosen dove.


Fallen amid the softness of a vast rose laden scape, I woke up beholding a fallen tear about to cape.


Remembering the curious heartfelt once when I saw you, I sit aside to have all the charms of you just like the morning leaves sparkled with dew.


For me and to those ur beautiful moments I witness, makes me wish they remain unfainted n ageless.


Your beauty and my unspeakable words of love are truly no match, I am just a wondering captive in the unseen dreams of yours that never hatch.


River to river, wind by wind, seasons of seasons passes by, I'd never condemn the plethora of loneliness, as ur beautiful face and our wishful nights gives me scenic sigh.


Out of the darkness, I shall be emancipated and glow one day, hoping the unending dream of your love would make me realize to say.


When your beauty and your calmness still would be at the tallest of hill, I shall say reaching at the top of quest of eternity might kill.


Have I not ever try to fly like that unloosen dove, what dignifies me to say I am the enchanting proudest dreamer of your love.


Monday I will, someday you will.
One day we both will.

where do we stand at Palestine vs US-Israel alignment

Lets take a look at the Zionist regime blackmailing innocent Palestine's with its crooked ally US to cut off 400 millions USD by supporting a cause of Palestinian authority linked with Hamas. Hamas were not terrorists. They were fellow Palestine's who were forced to take arms n weapons after brutal suppression n genocide by the Jews themselves. What could anybody do at the world's largest prison with no commercial n economic zone. Also not to forget the fact that the birth of Hamas is the cause of intense corruption by the Fateh led government. Even a bird or wild animal is not meant to be kept inside cage. Some fires can not be doused with water or anything. Those fires meant to burn n destroy all in its reach. Hamas was born to be that fire after the Jews n US APAC policy was constructively made to ethnically cleanse Palestine of their own land. The APAC policy is a exponentially growing billion dollar controlled nuclear bomb to destabilize middle east by forming a natural ally in the region, Jews n Zionist n Israel. For what? Oil oil n oil. Conclusion says continuous mistakes doesn't erect a bridge rather a deadly wave. We all see what deadly waves are forming in the class of Al Qaeda, ISIS, Al Shabab etc which are tremendously motivated to destroy US n Jews. Stopping them is not possible now, even after a non nuclear world war due to the fact of their Islamic salafism and  jihadism. Where do we stand now is at the bridge of ecological political n sociological financial catastrophe. They started this ugly war n the war is taking its course to end civilization to the very last human being. So why the fuck should we blame Palestine in any condition who were deprived off their own land under imperial British colony, after world war 2 by the British n American think tanks to let the Jews land in palestine after Hitler's wrath in Europe. Nobody sits silent when they are kicked out of their own home. However it ignites a volatile revolt in which everybody's life are at stake. Palestine's were innocent farmer class people who were forced to erupt as a volcano in middle east n this volcanic lava reaches thousands of miles across the globe. Palestine's are not to be blamed but its the white house men, federal banks, APAC and The Zionist regime who are responsible for the ugly war. They want power and rule, but you cannot rule and control the land and people far from ur reach and civilization even not with F22 and F35. I am writing this article for strongly protesting Israeli allegations against Palestine and US money and oil smudging intentions. I hope ICC would play a fair game unbiased.

The known and hidden facts of Social Media Marketing.

In the awake of technology driven society, social media has changed people do better business online. It offers so many realistic innovative opportunities that sometimes people overlook its flaws and forget its limitations. Yes, social media is powerful tool to market a brand and this is a fact. But hidden behind those beautiful truths of social media, there are ugly truths behind it. Here is a more realistic guide that will open your eyes to see how social media
really works.

1. Social media can increase sales
Social media is a new innovation that is incredibly efficient and reliable when it comes to improving product sales and boost a company’s profit. It is proven to be a
convenient marketing campaign for both big brands and small businesses. By just posting compelling content and good use of relevant keywords and hash-tag in different social networking sites you can already gain new visitor
to your website and can able to reach out a larger audience.

Ugly truth: It doesn’t happen overnight, it requires hard work and consistent effort over a dedicated period of time. You cannot see results immediately so you have to be patient in updating your social media. You have to monitor and measure your online visibility. Aside from that, you also need to be consistent in promoting your business. If you are new to social media marketing, there will be a lot of work to do and frustrations will always be around. Even how difficult it is to improve your online business exposure, do not give up. Your persistence and effort will be paid off once you get to see the results.

2. Social media can establish authority
It is not easy to create an authoritative online presence but with the help of social media, establishing your business as an authority will not even make you sweat. Competition is very tight in the world of technology and Internet. And one thing that can make your business stand- out is to differentiate yourself from your competitors. You have to build trust, credibility, and value to your customers to gain authority in your chosen
niche. How? Create an active social media presence.

Ugly truth: As you establish authorship, you will also be exposed not only to your prospect clients but to
detractors as well. You will gain more readers and critics so expect that you will receive more criticisms and negative comments from other bloggers, users, etc. Once your brand get associated with malicious or unpleasant issues on the web, it could blemished or damaged your
brand image. Some will write negative or painful things about your product and when other people read such
feedback it could affect your brand’s reputation.

3. Social media is free
Yes, social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, Google+, LinkedIn, etc. offer free membership in their websites. Once you have accounts in these sites, you can already start your social media marketing campaign. You can add friends, get followers, and widen your connections all over the web. See? You don’t need to spend a hundred bucks to pay for TV commercials or print advertisements to introduce your services or products. It is given to you for free.

Ugly truth: Registration to various social networking sites is free BUT you still need to invest time, effort, and money in maintaining it. You have to be hands-on in managing your social networking sites. If you cannot do the job due to many responsibilities that you have to attend to in your business you can delegate the tasks to your employees. To get realistic results in your social media campaign, you need to dedicate budget and come up with strategies on how you can make your social media engaging to the audience.

4. Social media helps build high quality relationship One of the benefits of using social media in your business is that it open doors of opportunities for you to get to know your potential customers and it also teach you how to get engaged with them. As you build deeper business relationship to your prospect customers, you can easily identify the needs of your target market. Relationships can result to leads and leads can turn to customers which will direct you to new clients. 

Ugly truth: It requires consistency, connection, and good communication skills. You have to stay connected and up to date about the things that interest’s your audience. You have to get involved not only in posting good contents in your blog but you also need to get engaged in social communities and be interested to other things that can attract more new clients.

5. Social media is a widely used marketing tool Studies say that social media is an effective marketing tool to draw in much larger audience and qualified leads. It benefits all kinds of businesses that is why most companies these days are already hooked and using it because they are seeing a good return on their investment.

Ugly truth: It is not a complete marketing strategy. There is a risk on it but some marketers overlooked at it. To use its overall potential, it should be incorporated with other inbound marketing strategies like Search engine optimization, content writing, keyword research, brand reputation, etc.. Once you successfully apply these methods on your marketing campaign expect to get good and valuable outcomes. But if you don’t used its
resources efficiently, all the investment and effort you put on it will go to waste.

A brief depiction of Syrian Civil War

Syrian Civil War into its 4th year now. Started from the splinters of Arab Spring; paddled as a political movement to dethrone Bashar Al Assad for alleged suppression of Non Alawaites sect has traversed into many horrendous and treacherous routes. The peaceful political movement first divided its population among different cities and towns forming a unexpected solid armored shatterproof battlezone which Assad has not been expecting. Determined to crush the once peaceful movement, Assad vowed to his regional ally Iran for their financial support and Hezbollah interference apart from being granted with military equipments from old friend Russia. The movement then turned violent when Assad ordered firing on peaceful protestors with gun fighting started on urban streets of Damascus, Aleppo, Homs.

The battle was getting propelled upon the arrival of Hezbollah utilizing its military experience to crush the rivals. There was no way that united rivals could stand against mighty air power of Assad and Hezbollah's experience. The defeat was unanimously sure for the rivals until that fear of defeat divided the rivals into various moderate and hardline Islamic factions giving birth to Free Syrian Army (moderate); whose fighters were defected soldiers from Assad's forces, Al Qaeda affiliate Jabhat Al Nusra and another ferocious brutal Al Qaeda offshoot called as ISIL or ISIS later commonly known as IS (Islamic State) whose purpose was to carve out a oil rich region and form a Caliphate. Most of analysts believe that IS was gradually transformed from the Al Qaeda in Iraq in the course of time during US intervention in Iraq. Very little is known about its mysterious leader Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi, who was once detained in Guantanamo before being freed later.

This rivals were turned into rebels fighting both Assad Army and each other's faction. The street fighting incited into a full fledged war. Caught in the middle of that were innocent civilians and humanitarian workers which can be sermoned as a collateral damage. Tens of hundred died or killed everyday in middle of the firefight and the violence now roaring to a new level. Winning the war or defeating any faction seems unconclusive in a war like this. With war boiling all around, hopeless and crushed civilians started their first exodus to neighboring countries like Lebnon, Turkey and Jordan. It was shocking to me to find out a refugee camp in Jordan called Zatari camp run by UN which later became the largest and populous refugee camp in the world accomodating millions of Syrian civilians. The once prospered, multi cultured, vibrant Syria was in its ruins with many historical heritage sites levelled to the ground in barrel bombing.

Many moderate rebels turned their eye to West and US for their support or intervention, but all turned vain thought Obama and Western leaders Merkel, Hollande and Cameron wanted Assad to step down. Looking down to regional support were Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey and UAE. But the war by then spread into a religious war among Alawaites, a commonly Shia sect and Sunnis. An outside interference would only be ethical now as all regional opponent were Sunnis. Rather giving benefit of doubt to moderate rebels group, they chose to arm the hardliners Islamic militants which had already started to recruit foreign fighters from other countries like Chechyna, France, Africa etc, but denying the fact of arming them commonly in media. The war became a trickster game now which includes dirty politics, occupation, Oil and power. Assad army now face multiple enemies and factions and it is now quite forseeable to find that all of his Syria were not under his control anymore. He however was able to retain Damascus and port city Latakia but Aleppo, Homs, Dara and Raqqa saw severe fihhting and bombings, so severe that neither sides were used to rest at night.

It was always a tug of war, when we heard the condemnable incident of Chemical attack on the suburbs of Damascus, Ghouta which rumuored to have killed thousands of civilians. No side took any admittance rather making allegations on each other. That however angered the UN and US which ordered a multi national effort to destroy all chemical weapons from Syria, which Assad agreed owing to pressure from International powers. The war however never talked of any stoppage time or ceasefire except in 2014, in its 4th year, rebels n government forces agreed to call ceasefire and vacate Homs once for all upon a truce signed by UN. However the war was still brewing in other politically important cities and moderate rebels were helpless now fighting both Assad army and Islamic militants like IS and Al Nusra.

By 2014, IS was declared as the wealthiest terrorist organization, head quartered in Raqqa and forming a caliphate. To a very few, it strike their mind that IS would now be called the most dreaded, brutal terrorist organization in the world inspiring many other terrorist organization around the world to support the Caliphate and its mysteriou leader Baghdadi. To most of the war analysts in Middle East, it was quite obvious that How come a terrorist organization like IS be the wealthiest. One undeniable fact was the funding received from wealthy Sheikhs in Qatar, SA, UAE who are Sunni muslims. The othe sources of funding were obvious too but revealations were shocking. IS in their Caliphate imposed strict, brutal Sharia law which turned the heat into non Sunni and the minorities in the region. The non sunni and other religious minorities were told to convert or pay taxes. The third option was to be shot dead or beheaded. Secondly another source of funding was from the illegal supply of Oil from the captured territory to other cities, neighboring Iraqi middleman and even to the Assad government itself. Thirdly the money that came from extortion, kidnappings, looting of banks and selling minority women as slaves. Infact IS principles were so dreaded and brutal, that even Al Qaeda decided to make part with it. Assad army and Hezbollah now faces a new kind of conventional army which mastered the online recruitments of Jihadis from various far flung countries. IS uses extensive social media platforms to advertise their brand and skills in live war apart from advertising their propaganda and executions. This inspired new eligible recruits to be motivated. By some, it is estimated that IS has a strength of 30000 to 40000 fighters. They were immensly successful in capturing key military bases from Assad Army in many cities by outnumbering them. They were now in possession of Assad weapons, tanks and artilleries, honing their skills, harnessing their power and brutal belief system. They grow by each day and the rest of the world can just see them growing. They are in control of many parts of porus borders between Syria and Turkey and fought a demonic suicidal war with Syrian kurds recently in the town of Kobane for the control of main highway checkpoint with Turkey. They poses now a great danger to their own countries if they were return to someday and ignite their terror policies. Afterall they are battle hardened Islamic militants who were biased to do anything they think of, is a infidel. They were little known, less funded rebel group at the begining of the war but now times changed in 4 years of Syrian Civil War which sees no end in near approaching time. For me and many alike, it would not be wrong to say that it is the rise of ferocious Islamic State (IS) rather than never ending ongoing Syrian Civil War.

Note: War never changes anything. But only bring Chaos.

To the UNSPOKEN



To the unspoken

If it seems real and worthy speaking to a long lost girl
Then its good for me to curtain the endless voyage to her hair so uncurl.
As if so point to notice, it would be her naïve voice and face
That I couldn’t withstand, until the moment I was so left stranded in years.
The long lost eternity is back to hiss me like a pious soul and
I stray back to her with nothing but only language of love.

Her miraculous voice was so kept beneath my heart
For once I behold thy beauty, that I could be outclassed.
Her hair as divine just as so soothing like to be tangled upon 
Just like her beautiful face, as one could imagine to be breezed with.
Miracles doesn’t end within her, if I would say in all,
It just starts and end with her like an endless flowing river.

To me she is just a start or could be a devoted angel
For heartened her, I thou shall be a graceful associate.
Alone we don’t complete but together we can
Her evergreen voice is all I am left with,
As the nights and days passes by, her screaming beauty
Seems as so fainted by darkened skies and merciless hills.
Together my words are as lightened, uttering her wordless splendor.

I thou shall condemned to your soul. 
Written for a good friend.
