Value Stream Mapping And Six Sigma h Simplification and VisualizationBusiness processes are similar to a river flowing in a natural direction and carrying information from point A to point B. Value Stream Mapping (VSM) is one of the techniques used in Lean Six Sigma for identifying areas of waste that need to be avoided in both manufacturing as well as office business processes. Aside from identifying areas of waste, VSM also help When I show my sales workflow chart to customers, one of the reactions I get is how complicated the sales workflow chart looks.

Here is some of what John wrote.Mining Gold is hard work you know? There are many people in the US to this day who still mine for gold. Did you know that in many countries people have protested mines, gold and silver are easy ones to protest because it is associated with greed as those minerals are also considered legal tender.A great mine to visit is one of the first gold mines in the co If you plan to be in the printing business for a few more years, you need to embrace automated technology.

Doesn’t it make sense to invest in improving sales through automation and workflow? Sure it does. This is truly putting the horse in front of the cart, not the other way around. At a recent printing exhibition, I displayed my sales automation workflow. Those who took the time to investigate my sales automation system realized how important the sales process is. When we are selling to our customers, it is important to uncover the pain of the customer. Sometimes the customer doesn’t want to recognize they have a problem.

This same client manages almost 10 times more clients than he did before. This story and others strengthen my credibility and simplify my sales solution.
