Students should be comfortable with the basics of creating an AutoCAD drawing as taught in AutoCAD 2010 Essentials. Our teaching strategy is to demonstrate the versatility of AutoCAD by showing a range of options to achieve a particular result, and to suggest where one option can be better than another under given circumstances. Students should practice the topics and concepts discussed in this class, and apply them in ways appropriate for their work.

Feb 24, 2012: The Sales Leadership Forum - Multigenerational Sales Force at SMU Cox School of Business, Collins Exec Ed Center

Tue, 17 Jan 2012 19:39:52 -0700

For the first time in US history, four generations are working side by side, representing a 50-year age and experience span. On the upside, companies benefit from the range of experience and unique views those decades provide. On the downside, each generation has varying cultural and motivational expectations driving their work ethic and behavior.

In this intriguing session with The Sales Leadership Forum, we’ll look at some characters in the sales organization you might recognize and their roles, styles, and motivators:

• The Traditionalist (born between 1927 and 1945). Punctual and conservative, he survived the Great Depression and a world war and believes hard work is its own reward.
• The Baby Boomer (born between 1946 and 1964). Well-established, loyal and work-centric, he values face time in the office rather than work/life balance.
• The Generation X-er (born between 1965 and early 1980s). Witnessed the burnout of his parents; hardworking and ambitious, he prefers to set his own hours and values freedom, autonomy, and family time.
• The Generation Y-er (born in 1980 or later). Smart, creative, optimistic and tech-savvy, she is a multi-tasker who prefers technology over face-to-face interactions. Don’t waste her time making her come to your office.

Managing and Motivating a Multigenerational Sales Force will focus on aligning these generations toward a common sales goal. We’ll discuss how and why motivating and retaining talent in each of the generational groups can give your company a talent and performance edge.
The Sales Leadership Forum is proud to offer this session, sponsored by SalesGlobe and hosted by Mark Donnolo, Managing Partner of SalesGlobe, and David Alexander, Executive Vice President of SGA Interactive. (Frank, please add language about professors. Panelist information to come).
Topics we will address include:
• Understanding who’s in your sales organization.
• Recognizing the factors that matter most when managing the generations.
• Preventing traditionalist, authoritative management from wreaking havoc on Gen Y achievements.
• Enabling each generation in a larger sales strategy context.
• Effectively recruiting and retaining the talent that you need.
• Setting expectations and creating effective incentives for each generation.
• How coaching and development can help the generations to work together.
