MODULE 13- ABL-INTRODUCTION TO ENTERPRISE SALES

This course gives one a overall world view of what is involved in the Sales life cycle of a company from start to finish. As technology leaders it is quite important to understand the full details starting from
Pre-Sales
Sales
Post Sales
Continued Support etc.
Unless one has stuck out to volunteer or perhaps get lucky to be part of such assignments a technology professional is largely eluded of such opportunities and hence it remains a grey area. At times you get weighed against someone who has sales experience and is handed over more interesting assignments or share of the organization pie during reviews. Hence it is quite important as one grows in their career to focus on what is involved in this aspect which is the bread winner for the company and keeps the enterprise going.

MODULE 9 – ABL -SOFT SKILLS ARE REALLY HARD ?

As you progress in your career the left and the right brains as equally important for you to function as a leader. As Einstein said “Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution.”. If you are able to access and tap into both your right and left brain then you are truly an asset to the organization.

It is found that in most Artificial Intelligence initiatives are good at getting data using complex data mining , algorithms and mathematical and statistical tools typically needing more of a left brain approach. If the same data is not presented using data visualization and storytelling which would need a strong right brain approach , such initiatives can fall flat owing to a lack of balance in the thinking.
