If ever there was a great example of how to close a deal on the phone, it must be Chris Varick, Vin Diesel’s character in the movie “Boiler Room”. The particular scene I am thinking of shows Varick coaching his sales team on how to sell options to an unsuspecting doctor using every 'schmooze' closing technique in the book. It truly is a master class in closing and his “students” are left completely overwhelmed at his powers of persuasion. Of course, the only problem is that (without completely spoiling the movie if you havent seen it) the company is a scam, the products don’t actually exist, and any clients who are suckered in are eventually left high and dry.
Talent management is a bit of a misnomer really. How can we ever presume to manage someone else's talent. When we talk about talent management, what is generally understood is that we are referring to an organizations ability to attract, retain, and develop individuals who will continue to add value to the organization as a whole. In short, talent management is about improving employee/staff engagement. An engaged employee/staff member is more involved, enjoys work, and is more committed to the overall interests of the organization.
