The Use of Climate

Submitted by GaryGagliardi on

A Institute Member writes:

My biggest struggle is using Climate. My own prejudice gets in the way. I really hate it when I see any “sales” pitch that applies pressure to “buy now” because the sky is falling.

However, before embarking on a study of gathering information, let us define the term. A good place to start might be to examine the words “data” and “information.” While these words are certainly defined in the dictionary they are not adequately defined in practice. Let us begin with the dictionary definition first. Perhaps something of interest will come of it.

The Front-Line Strategic Maturity Model above would be specifically adapted to explain the benefits for salespeople specifically as part of this work. )
