Book Description
Just after a promising job interview and before the job offer, many of today’s applicants are marched through an unassuming ritual called “the business lunch” so prospective employers can determine whether or not candidates have “the right stuff.” And while it may look innocent enough, this one meal often “makes or breaks” the applicant’s future with the interviewing corporation. Most college career counselors and many business schools prepare new grads for the job search with good baseline education and technical information, interview techniques, resume-writing skills and corporate research pointers but few of today’s job candidates have any guidance about conducting a successful business lunch/second interview. That’s when Rachel Seff – director of the University of Houston’s College of Business Career Center, Dr. Ron Adams, a veteran educator and Alice Adams, a former professor and current employment writer with The Houston Chronicle joined forces and developed the manuscript, “60 Minutes To Success: The Ultimate Guide to Power Lunching.
Eat Their Lunch

Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
The first ever playbook for B2B salespeople on how to win clients and customers who are already being serviced by your competition, from the author of The Only Sales Guide You'll Ever Need and The Lost Art of Closing. Like it or not, sales is often a zero-sum game: Your win is someone else's loss. Most salespeople work in mature, overcrowded industries, your offerings perceived (often unfairly) as commodities. Growth requires taking market share from your competitors, while they try to do the same to you. How else can you grow 12 percent a year in an industry that's only growing by 3 percent? It's not easy for any salesperson to execute a competitive displacement--or, in other words, "eat their lunch." You might think this requires a bloodthirsty "whatever it takes" attitude, but that's the opposite of what works. If you act like a Mafia don, you only make yourself difficult to trust and impossible to see as a long-term partner. Instead, this book shows you how to find and maintain a long-term competitive advantage by taking steps like: ranking prospective new clients not by their size or convenience to you, but by who stands to gain the most from your solution. understanding the different priorities for everyone in your prospect's organization, from the CEO to the accountants, and addressing their various concerns. developing a systematic contact plan for all those different stakeholders so you can win over the right people at the organization in the optimal sequence. Your competitors may be tough, but with the strategies you'll discover in this book, you'll soon be eating their lunch.

Lunch
Author: Megan Elias
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1442227478
Category : Cooking
Languages : en
Pages : 205
Book Description
Lunch has never been just a meal; the meal most often eaten in public, lunch has a long tradition of establishing social status and cementing alliances. From the ploughman’s lunch in the field to the power lunch at the Four Seasons, the particulars of lunch decisions—where, with whom, and what we eat—often mark our place in the world. Lunch itself has galvanized political movements and been at the center of efforts to address poverty and malnutrition; the American School Lunch Act of 1946 enforced the notion that lunch could represent the very health of the nation, and sit-ins and protests at lunch counters in the 1960s thrust this space into moral territory. Issues of who cooks lunch, who eats what, and how and when we eat in public institutions continue to spur activists. Exploring the rich history and culture of this most-observed and versatile meal, Lunch draws on a wide range of sources: Letters and memoirs Fiction Cookbooks Institutional records Art and popular media Tea room menus Lunch truck Twitter feeds, and more Elias considers the history of lunch not only in America, but around the world to reveal the rich traditions and considerable changes this meal has influenced over the years.
