Revenue Harvest


Book Description

Sales leaders with aggressive sales targets can’t leave their sales strategy up to spontaneous market shifts and quick-fix technology. Instant solutions seem to be everything today, but it’s hard to know if that’s really what produces long-term success for sales teams. What you need is a proven, time-tested method you can rely on to create sustained sales growth, regardless of circumstances. Revenue Harvest: A Sales Leader’s Almanac for Planning the Perfect Year draws on seven timeless farming principles to teach sales leaders how to improve sales team performance. Farming and selling are two of the oldest professions and while technology has distinctly changed parts of both industries, the time tested principles remain true. The same seven principles that time after time yield the best crop are the same principles a sales leader can use to achieve their goals — regardless of how the market shifts. In the same way a farmer tends the land to produce a crop, a sales leader works the market to produce results. The quality of the crop determines the success of the farm just like the quality of a sales team’s work determines the success of the sales leader. With the wisdom shared in Revenue Harvest, you'll learn a proven system that once implemented will help you build and lead a winning sales team year in, and year out.

Harvesting Intangible Assets


Book Description

Attorney and author Andrew J. Sherman approaches business using a simple, attractive metaphor: Businesspeople are farmers - or, at least, they should be. Entrepreneurs and executives should take a long-range, comprehensive approach to their endeavors, and recognize that time and acquired knowledge play large roles in profitability. Sherman overworks his symbolism, threatening to exhaust its soil, but his images of planting, toiling and reaping succeed as reminders of the approach he wants readers to take. getAbstract recommends his counsel to innovators and those managing innovation, and to leaders seeking a unified organizational vision.

Agricultural Productivity and Producer Behavior


Book Description

Agricultural yields have increased steadily in the last half century, particularly since the Green Revolution. At the same time, inflation-adjusted agricultural commodity prices have been trending downward as increases in supply outpace the growth of demand. Recent severe weather events, biofuel mandates, and a switch toward a more meat-heavy diet in emerging economies have nevertheless boosted commodity prices. Whether this is a temporary jump or the beginning of a longer-term trend is an open question. Agricultural Productivity and Producer Behavior examines the factors contributing to the remarkably steady increase in global yields and assesses whether yield growth can continue. This research also considers whether agricultural productivity growth has been, and will be, associated with significant environmental externalities. Among the topics studied are genetically modified crops; changing climatic factors; farm production responses to government regulations including crop insurance, transport subsidies, and electricity subsidies for groundwater extraction; and the role of specific farm practices such as crop diversification, disease management, and water-saving methods. This research provides new evidence that technological as well as policy choices influence agricultural productivity.
