Why Leaders Must Fail in Targets have some Reasons


We are surrounded by the chase for perfection but unfortunately it doesn't exist. The crazy thing is that all of us KNOW it doesn't exist. How do we know? Well, we all have different opinions and no one agrees 100% with the media. Not everyone agrees that 4.0 is the greatest indicator of success and neither is 2400.


So, why is it that we continue to chase after perfection? The simple answer is that we haven't been taught how to fail. We haven't learned how to own up, accept responsibility for our results and continue to move forward. Sure, some of us do it. But, when something goes wrong, the majority of us immediately react by looking to place the blame on someone or something. Unfortunately, that is the reaction of many leaders as well. Many leaders blame the economy. Many leaders blame the worker morale. Many leaders blame the marketing department. Many leaders blame everyone but the person in the mirror. Maybe blame is a tough word because it makes it seem like all of the responsibility should lay in one place. That's not the intent. However, when things are not working, I'm suggesting that our first response should be to look inward, asking the question, "what can I do to move this forward?"

I read a quote by Harold Myra that said "Failure is the inevitable companion of a large vision."

If I flip that on it's head, the question becomes, "If you are not failing, how large is your vision?"

People don't always follow leaders with a large vision. But leaders who create and ultimately achieve a large vision make IMPACT! They make impact not only because they were consistent in sticking to the vision and executing, but also because they failed and were able to continue powerfully in the face of it.

Powerful leaders must be able to teach their teams not only to EXPECT failure but HOW to fail. In racing, the drivers learn HOW to crash and HOW to respond when the road conditions cause the car to spin. A crash is a fail but learning how to do it is important. When learning how to parachute, there is not really a great margin for failure. However, when a parachute fails, you are taught about the reserve parachute and rolling techniques that may lessen the impact as you reach the ground. (Check out this article)

When leaders fearlessly fail, several things take place:

1. They are able to practice rebound - They are able to understand the process of breakdown and how to come back from it. They can then effectively direct their teams on this process.

2. They show that it is a part of the process of progress - Achievement doesn't happen without failure even though we like to share the story of ideal. The real story is about how to push through the process.

3. They create a culture of safety - Too often, we work or live in environments where we FEAR messing up. If we mess up, we are going to get fired, be blamed, etc, etc. If the leader fails and provides the template for pushing through, that creates a culture where failure is safe, especially if they are taught HOW to fail.

4. They get to see FIRSTHAND what works and what doesn't - Too often leaders are removed from the process. It is in being closely connected that you are able to solidify relationships and create unity. When failure happens here, it's easier to brainstorm. It's easier to craft a new path. It's easier to move forward with an entire team that pushes in the decided direction. However, if the leader is removed, what tends to happen is simply meetings, meetings and more meetings that circle around blame and who's fault it was. It's not always possible for the leader to be in the middle of the pack. But, the show Undercover Boss is a perfect example of the perspective that is gained when this effort is made.

Perfection is all around us. Well, at least the chase for it is. Media tells women what is the perfect body shape and weight. Academically, 4.0 is a perfect GPA. Back in the day, 1600 was a perfect SAT score but apparently it is now 2400. (Shows you how long ago I took it.)

Perfect doesn't exist. Failure does. Why focus on the one that isn't real? Pursue fearless failure. Pursue progress. Pursue learning.

Can you remember a situation in which you were taught HOW to fail? Leave your answer in the comments.

India can't grow as fast as China, Japan


Warren Buffett once pointed out that it is easier to get big returns on small sums.

As he put it, "I was killing the Dow in the 1950s but that was when I was investing peanuts."

That is, he was outperforming the Dow Jones Industrial Average by large margins when his corpus was relatively small.

It got progressively more difficult for Buffett to outrun the indices, as Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio grew into billions.

High growth is also much easier to log in a small business than in a Reliance.

Similar issues of scale also hold true for national economies.

It is easier for a small economy with low per capita to grow quickly.

It is more difficult for a large economy to sustain high growth over long periods.

The prosperity and high living standards of Europe and America came about due to steady, low growth over very, very long periods.

Stable economic growth started with the industrial revolution (1760-1820), and continued through the colonial phase.

Nations in Western Europe and America saw GDP (gross domestic product) growth compounded at 1-2 per cent per annum for over a century.

Since World War II, several nations have demonstrated that sustained GDP growth at much higher rates is possible.

The possible reasons might be that technological changes came faster after 1945 and investment flows also became more efficient.

So, GDP growth rates accelerated.

Even so, China and Japan are truly amazing.

Both countries grew at breakneck pace for very long periods, starting from low bases. 

Japan lost its entire industrial base in World War II, many cities were obliterated and a large proportion of the working population was killed. Growth in the 1950s started from a very low base, therefore.

It continued until Japan became the world's second-largest economy in the 1980s. Since then, growth has stagnated but Japan is the third-largest economy.

Between 1930 and 1948, China suffered civil war, while also fighting the Japanese. After Mao Zedong came to power, famines and political purges led to the deaths of 10 million or more.

Mao died in 1976. In 1979, China liberalised its economic policies.

It has since grown very fast to overtake Japan and become the second-largest economy in the world.

In nominal terms, India's economy is one-fourth as large as China and one-third as large as Japan. But India only started liberalising in 1991, some 13 years after China.

Adjusting for time differentials, the macro-economic growth pattern is quite similar. India is more or less where China was in 2001.

However, researchers who point out this similarity also point out key differences.

China had far superior literacy rates and far more female workforce participation in 2001 than India does in 2014.

China followed a manufacturing, export-oriented growth model from the 80s onwards.

It exploited its much cheaper labour to gain market share versus other export-oriented nations like South Korea and Japan.

It is much more difficult for India to compete on this front in 2014.

The cheap-labour driven export-model has multiple players - Indonesia, Bangladesh, the Philippines, Thailand, etc.

China also got a lot of foreign direct investments coming from the well-established overseas Chinese business community.

India's upper-crust non-resident Indians are mostly professionals, and they might not be able to match this. So, India will have its work cut out emulating China's growth rates through the next phase.

The large Indian workforce is under-skilled.

The education system is in a shambles and might not respond effectively to the need to teach labour new skills.

Building scale in new manufacturing areas requires years of effort, and need changes in labour laws, land laws, etc.

The pace of movement in such areas is very slow. While these things could improve, India's growth is more likely to be driven by the positive trends that are already evident.

There are pockets of excellence in industries, where India is export-competitive, such as IT services, bulk pharmaceuticals, automobiles and auto-ancillaries.

There is a huge, under-served domestic market for many services and many goods.

As poverty reduces, there will be fortunes to be made catering to the lower end of the pyramid.

There is a massive shortage in physical infrastructure and efforts are being made to address this deficiency. India hopes to tap China and Japan for money and technical know-how.

Specific growth areas for India are liable to be different from areas in which Japan, China have scored, says Devangshu Datta.

That is fine, so far as it goes. But the specific growth areas for India are liable to be very different from the areas in which Japan and China scored.

Difference in Inbound and Outbound Team To Incoming Lead – See it


Difference in Inbound and outbound team for Lead – see it

Inbound lead come from web form through social, SEO, paid campaign etc. this lead we give to Outbound Team for closure, they are truly close or loose. Let’s discuss...

Suppose inbound lead coming through the web form via social, direct traffic etc. 

Sales Teams have already lots of jobs OR responsibilities like:

  1. Tele-Calling to CMO, CEO, Marketing person for set a meeting for  VP from Data collected by MR.
  2. Make a follow-up email to the targeted Executive person
  3. Sale person or BDM just follow a list by Or gather by  MR and VR
  4. such as inbound lead qualification, outbound prospecting, closing, or account management

Inbound leads mean visitors find us from a search engine, social brands of our products, directly enter our web address etc., this is unique visitor – leads – because we don’t call via sales person, don’t follow-up. Don’t make dare to give this inbound lead to sales executive. They treat like as a normal data, don’t give importance in result we lose it.

Why I suggest you, 
  1. They answer OR they just follow – why we follow this Inbound Leads ( This is not tele-verified, customized ) 
  2. Salespeople had many responsibilities like closers close, prospector’s prospect, etc.  Focus your salespeople to allow them to become experts in own field -- @ inbound qualification, closing, prospecting etc.
  3. The Success rate for this  Leads to closure means Business ROI – 40%



Are you ready for creating Two teams – 

One for Inbound leads – to bear word like “verification, calling, and leading convert to Business ROI”

Another, its daily basis calling from picking database from the Company.

A. Inbound Lead marketing leads coming through the website via sources like marketing campaign, emailing, search engine marketing, or organic word-of-mouth.

B. Outbound marketing is part of cold call & gather meeting for a VP to closure leads. Sales people continuously make a call & they have targeted for monthly leads for commission in some firms. So don’t dare to do this. You loss precious client or promoters.
Best of luck

Logistics & Transport Market Research Technique by Tech guru


Transport and Logistics

The need to move goods is as old as the hills. In the 1930s road transport overtook rail as the main means of transporting goods around the country and it is big business – there are around 400,000 heavy goods vehicles on UK roads today. Yet, the term “road haulage industry” is outdated. This is an industry that has remodeled itself and now promotes itself as purveyors of logistics and supply chain solutions. But have things really changed?

Logistics market research

Road haulage has always been an industry with hundreds, if not thousands, of operators. The bedrock of the industry is small family firms with trucks that are at the customers’ behest if they need something moving. Being local to the source of whatever needs moving is important because it means that there are trucks close to base and the source of business. If the return journey of the truck is empty, so be it; the cost of the movement is borne by the single load. Without being too cruel about it, the small family firm is not the most sophisticated operator and it is our contention that their focus on price when selling their services does not serve them or the market very well.

The requirement to shift a load from A to B still dominates. However, there is also a more sophisticated need to provide a solution for goods storage, managing supply and moving products in a very tight time window. This change has taken place over the last four decades. Yet, despite these developments, there is still an unhealthy focus on price. This limits innovation, it stymies added value services and it reduces the amount of personal service that is offered.

You can’t blame the people who need haulage for wanting a bargain. A good price is an obvious and easy thing to measure and it is no surprise that it is a strong metric for decision making. But in this respect, hauliers are their own worst enemy as many still see themselves as delivery men. They still believe that a low price is the best and easiest way to win business and as a result they sell on price. It is about time that hauliers opened their ears and listened to their customers. Logistics market research and transport market research can help them do this.

Transport market research

Examples of our logistics market research and transport market research experience include: - b2binternational.com
  • Flight guide software
  • Freight forwarding
  • In-car telematics
  • Train refurbishment
  • Train test centre market assessment
  • Hauliers' propensity to bundle oil products (i.e. fuels, lubes) plus associated services (cards, fleet management, oils analysis application support, etc.)
  • Concessionaire relationship research (retail, financial services, car parks) throughout most major UK airports (Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted)

Business with Different Type of Database - Big Vs Rich


Everyone seems to be talking about big data these days and how it’s changing the world. That might well be the case, but it seems that it’s beginning to become more of a nuisance than a solution. Surely the whole point of technological advancement is to make life easier and better for all involved? I believe now more than ever, there is place for a different type of data - unique, rich data - which has always been around, but not necessarily prominent in the online world.

As an example, one of my good friends Chris, is getting very close to the happiest day of his life. The day that he becomes a father. Chris is a hard working man and not only doesn’t find the time to do any shopping, he is hardly what you would call an online shopping expert. Needless to say, being handed the responsibility of finding the perfect pram for their new addition to the family, is a mountain to climb for Chris.

So Chris hits the web. However he doesn't even really know where to start, what to look for, where to find and not to mention commit to such an important purchase. But he prevails and browses, from Kiddicare to Mothercare, from Asda to John Lewis - he became a hunter-data-gatherer.

Then he left it for a day or two – to think.

In the meantime, based on his activity on social media and internet searches, big data was crunching away, having identified that, in all likelihood Chris’s family was expanding.

When he next connected Chris was bombarded with offers of, amongst others, the three N’s; nipples, nappies and nursery kit. Fine. Good work big data. But he was also however offered a dog bed, flea shampoo and a subscription offer for Dogs Today magazine. Clearly some big data must have been crunched wrong somewhere in the cloud.

However all of this is not very helpful to good old Chris, as he is looking for not only a pram, but the perfect pram for his family, with all the right features (which he doesn't even know about) and at a good price. This is Chris’s Everest.

Fortunately, one of Chris’s best friends, Jules is an online shopping and social media maverick and as a new mother, she went through the same process not too long ago. She knows Chris and his wife and she knows exactly what would be good for them. She also knows about Chris’s Everest and how he wants to surprise his dearest. While getting in the new order of nappies and food for their little one, Jules notices that the perfect pram is now on a 50% sale online, in Chris’s wife’s favourite colour as well…



So she jumped into action, added the pram to social shopping site haveyouseen and shared the link with Chris. She even created a collection of complimentary items from all over the internet that would make the first couple of weeks of parenthood just that much easier.

So all ended well. Chris bought the pram, Jules got a commission for her work and Chris is the conquering hero.

And that is why big data will never know a stranger as well as their best friend and why a personal recommendation goes that much further than even the most advanced and innovative targeted advertising.


I’m Founder & CEO at haveyouseen where we advocate the power of rich data every day. Rich data for us is what makes sense – the fact that that our friends and family will always know us better than any Google or Facebook (and soon Amazon) algorithm. Brands and merchants all over the world can now reward, through haveyouseen, their most trusted advocates for doing what they do best. Make trusted personal recommendations about their products.
