 | Breaking Through by David A. Thomas, John J. Gabarro
American companies may tout their equal opportunity initiatives, but with 95 of all executive-level positions in the US held by white males, most of these programs clearly fall far short of their goals when it comes to diversifying upper management. Yet, even in the face of such overwhelming odds, some minority executives do break through to the highest leadership ranks. What can we learn from these success stories? In one of the first in-depth studies to focus on minorities who have made it to the top, Breaking Through examines the crucial connection between corporate culture and the advancement of people of color. Breaking Through profiles minority executives at three different firms who encountered -- and conquered -- barriers throughout their careers. From these compelling stories a distinct pattern emerges in the way minorities advance. The message is clear and startling: the path that leads minorities to the top is fundamentally different from the route followed by their white peers. Here are the determining factors -- both individual and organizational -- that correspond to the advancement of minority executives to the highest levels. Pathways to success do exist for minorities, say Thomas and Gabarro, and breakthroughs can happen -- if individuals and organizations understand the roles they play in creating the opportunities that enable minority executives to reach the top.

 | The Sales Training Handbook by Jeff Magee
Although sales managers recognize the need for ongoing sales training, developing the training is incredibly time consuming. Bringing in an outside trainer is expensive and more suited to a full-day even than weekly training. For sales managers who want to train their salespeople themselves, with a minimum of effort, The Sales Training Handbook provides everything a sales manager needs to conduct a weekly training session with a sales team, for one full year. The 52 sales training seminars each contain a complete script and participant and handouts, so almost no preparation time is required from the sales manager or trainer. The handouts can be downloaded from the web and customized to meet the needs of an individual sales team. Designed to provide a quick training component to a weekly training meeting, each mini-seminar can be completed in just 15-30 minutes. Or, seminars can be combined to create customized training workshops that last a half-day. The Sales Training Handbook will help sharpen the skills of people who sell for a living, save sales managers time creating and customizing sales training, and position the sales manager as a training expert. The 52 training seminars cover all major aspects of selling and dealing with customers including: Attention: How to Get Your Foot in the Door; Interest: How to Capture It; Presentation: What You Have to Offer; Desire: Building the Emotional Want In Your Offer; Close: Getting the Commitment & Order.
