The sound we are all familiar with \u2013 the wake-up call in the morning. I think there are 4 types of people in regards to alarm sounds:<\/p>\n<p>&gt; First type immediately wakes up when they hear the alarm.<br \/>\n&gt;\u00a0Second type hears the alarm, snoozes it, and then wakes up at the next alarm.<br \/>\n&gt; Third type hears the alarm, snoozes it, next alarm goes off, they snooze it again, goes on for a few rounds, until it\u2019s too late.<br \/>\n&gt; Fourth type continues sleeping despite the alarm.<\/p>\n<p>If you think of this as a business, as sales, or as your life, how much does it relate to us?<\/p>\n<p>Something is not going well in our business, or sales or life. Do we:<\/p>\n<p>&gt; Immediately \u2018wake up\u2019 and respond to it?<br \/>\n&gt; Know something is wrong, but ignore it for a while, and then take some action?<br \/>\n&gt; Sees the threat but just wait, and think, and research, until it\u2019s too late?<br \/>\n&gt; Nah! No big deal, it\u2019s just a fad, it\u2019s going to go away?<\/p>\n<p>The 10th code of the Sales Ninja is\u00a0<strong>Improvement<\/strong>, others being abundance, courage, commitment, contribution, duty, focus, honor, honesty, and trust. Improvement is a concept, philosophy, principle that we all know but sometimes forget. I just heard <a href=\"http:\/\/www.airasia.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tony Fernandez\u2019s<\/a> (CEO of AirAsia, one of the leading low-cost airlines in Asia) speech at\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.eonetwork.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">EO (Entrepreneur Organization)<\/a> \u2018s Global Entrepreneur Congress. He mentioned most organizations don\u2019t like to change and improve because it\u2019s painful. It\u2019s painful to admit that the current things you are doing are not good enough. After all, you may have done lots of things in the past, been through a tremendous amount of trial and error, continuous strategizing and restrategizing to finally figured out a winning route. Now you have to go through all those events again? Painful \u2013 but absolutely necessary.<\/p>\n<p>Back to my\u00a0original point, something is not working out for you, \u2018wake up\u2019 and do something about it.<\/p>\n<p>Alarm: The culture is weak, \u2018wake up\u2019.<br \/>\nAlarm: The process has flaws,\u00a0\u2018wake up\u2019.<br \/>\nAlarm: Competitor launched a new product, \u2018wake up\u2019.<br \/>\nAlarm: Just settled in a new business model, \u2018wake up\u2019.<br \/>\nAlarm: Staffs not in harmony, \u2018wake up\u2019.<br \/>\nAlarm: New technology to embrace, \u2018wake up\u2019.<br \/>\nAlarm: Margin shrinking, \u2018wake up.<br \/>\nAlarm: Sales team not performing \u2018wake up\u2019.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Alarm is ringing, so \u2018wake up\u2019 and get to work!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Unconventionally,<br \/>\nHANZO NG<br \/>\nSales Ninja Grandmaster<\/p>\n<p>\u00a9 2009 Sales Ninja Training.
