The buyer is King.  This is a very common concept in modern Western economies.  We construct our service approach around this idea and try to keep elevating our engagement with royalty. After living in Japan for 36 years and selling to a broad range of industries, I have found in Japan, the buyer is not King. In Nippon the buyer is God. This difference unleashes a whole raft of difficulties and problems. My perspective is based on an amalgam of experiences over many decades and I am generalising of course. Not every buyer in Japan is the same, but those foreigners who know Japan will be nodding their heads in agreement. The most intelligent sales approach the West has come up with is “consultative sales”.  This basic term gets bandied about, in different ways and at different times, but the fundamental concept is to uncover the buyer's needs through asking insightful questions and then determine if you can satisfy that need or not.  By definition, if you use this methodology, you are intelligent.  If you were going to sell to buyers from the world's third largest economy, where 50% of young people are University educated and is known for its advanced technology, then intelligent consultative selling is bound to be your “go to” model.  You will fail because GOD doesn't approve of your funky Western ways. Pitch Momentum Predominates In Japan In Japan, GOD expects a pitchfest.  GOD does not brook questions from low life salespeople.  Instead give your pitch, put it up, so that the buyer can slam closed the two barrels on the shotgun and then blast your pitch to pieces.  Japan is a very conservative business climate where failure is not accepted and mistakes are not allowed.  The Western CFO sharpening the pencil and working out that a 5% defect rate is the most profitable construct, will get a big bonus and a promotion.  Going to a zero defect rate is deemed too expensive and unnecessary.  GOD doesn't accept any defects or mistakes in Japan and to achieve that the science of risk aversion has been taken to the ultimate heights of human possibility. The Japanese buyer wants to hear your pitch, then viciously attack it to satisfy themselves that they are eliminating any possibility of future problems from this supplier.  I was working with a company exporting bark to Japan as part of the gardening boom.  It had to be clean - no pebbles, sand or twigs, just pure bark.  The foreign supplier breezily rang to tell me the shipment had missed the boat, but “no problems, it will be on the next one”.  GOD was apoplectic.  Storage costs in Japan are expensive, so the “just in time” idea of holding little in the way of stock and delivering at the right moment, is well accepted.  Our buyer had just burned all of his buyers down the food chain, because the foreign supplier had missed the boat.  The Japanese buyer's trust, built up over many years with his client base, had been broken. In Japan that trust is almost impossible to rebuild. You Need A GOD Approving Credibility Statement Pitching is a daft idea.  How on earth do you know what to pitch?  Imagine your favourite colour was blue and I turn up to sell you my awesome range of pink.  I am warbling away like a morning lark about the wonder of my pink and you haven't the slightest interest, because you want blue.  If I had asked you a question about your colour preferences, then knowing you wanted blue, I would have only spoken about our range in blue. This is pretty simple.  So, why don't Japanese salespeople ask GOD some questions about what is needed?  Well GOD is a deity too high for that type of inappropriate familiarity and base rudeness.  Consequently, everyone is pitching into the void.  The cunning antidote to this GOD induced pitch problem is to have a well crafted credibility statement.  For example, “We are experts in soft skills training for adult learners.  We recently helped a client's Tokyo leadership team raise their Japanese staff engagement scores by 30% and their New York headquarters was very happy to see that rapid improvement.  Maybe we could do the same thing for you.  I have no idea if that is possible or not, but if you would allow me to ask a few questions, I will soon know if it is a viable option or not”. Switch From The Pitch To Consultative Sales Once GOD acquiesces and allows us to ask questions, then we are out of the pitch business and now immersed in the consultative sales flow.  When asked this way GOD does allow questions in most cases.  Sometimes we will get a stern GOD who says “just give me your pitch”.  We comply because you cannot deny GOD, but mentally we know we should down the lukewarm, cheap, bitter green tea and head for the door, because there won't be any sale here today. Knowing what a client needs is the key enabler to craft a sales presentation tailored to that particular buyer which resonates, excites and satisfies.  GOD just needs some nudging to get religion about consultative sales.  When you have your next sales meeting with a Japanese buyer, mentally picture you are sitting down with GOD and act accordingly.  Be comfortable with formality, silence, hierarchy and sit up straight.  Politely pull the velvet curtain back on your beautifully polished and well practiced credibility statement and wait for “yes, you may ask me some questions”.  Don't say one word after you ask your question, even if it is killing you.  Sit there in silence until you get an answer.  GOD likes to think about it and is in no hurry.

In another disturbing case of women's safety being not at all a priority, a man in Minneapolis turned images of some 80 women he sort-of-but-not-really-knew into graphic p*rn. When his WIFE found out, he fled town with his laptop in hand, probably to infiltrate a new town with his predator ways. Police threw their hands up and said, "Uh, we don't know what you want us to do. Is this illegal?" Turns out, it is and it isn't. One of the victims talks to Toxic about how she's using her law background to help make sure future women get the justice they deserve against gross men who can't literally make everything in the world about getting off.  We want to hear from you.

After being 'coerced' to attend a gathering she didn't really want to go to, Stacey Norman was left with a question that just wouldn't leave. "What if you just don't enjoy someone's company? Like, not because they're terrible, but because you just don't vibe?" J Sbu came to the rescue by asking the people of KZN what they would do in this situation. Here's what YOU had to say.

When it comes to breakups, the no-contact rule is one of the most powerful tools you can use to heal, regain your confidence, and, in some cases, increase the chances of reconciliation. However, your ex may not make it easy for you to stay silent. Even if they ended the relationship, they might use subtle (and not-so-subtle) tricks to get you to reach out first. Understanding these tactics and why they use them can help you stay strong and avoid falling into their trap. Here are some common tricks your ex might use to make you break no contact and why you should resist them. Get Coach Lee's $7 Reunion Blueprint at https://ReunionBlueprint.com 1. Subtle Gestures That Seem Meaningful Your ex might send you a message, gift, or even a photo that reminds you of your time together. For example, they could send you a picture of a place you both loved or a song that held special meaning during your relationship. These actions are designed to evoke nostalgia and emotional vulnerability, making you feel compelled to respond. While these gestures may seem thoughtful, they're often an attempt to gauge whether you still care or to prompt you to make the first move. Unless their communication is clear and direct about wanting to reconcile, resist the urge to respond. 2. Emotional Social Media Posts Social media is a favorite tool for many exes trying to break no contact. They might post vague or emotional updates, such as, “Breakups are harder than I thought” or “I just wish things could go back to the way they were.” These posts can make you wonder if they're missing you or regretting the breakup. It's important to remember that these posts might not mean what you think they do. They could be fishing for validation or trying to get a reaction from you without having to directly reach out. Don't let their public displays lure you into breaking no contact. 3. Orchestrating "Accidental" Encounters Some exes will go out of their way to bump into you. They might show up at your favorite coffee shop, join a mutual friend's gathering they know you'll attend, or even walk by your workplace. These encounters are rarely as accidental as they seem. The goal of these situations is often to remind you of their presence or to create an opportunity for conversation without them having to take the emotional risk of reaching out directly. If you notice this happening, remain polite but brief, and don't let the interaction escalate into a deeper conversation. 4. Using Mutual Friends as Messengers Exes may involve mutual friends to get updates about you or to pass along messages. They might ask your friends how you're doing, whether you're seeing anyone new, or even tell them to “say hi” for them. This tactic allows them to test the waters without putting themselves in a vulnerable position. If you hear from a mutual friend that your ex has been asking about you, stay strong and stick to your boundaries. Politely let your friends know that you're focusing on yourself and prefer not to discuss your ex. Get Coach Lee's $7 Reunion Blueprint at https://ReunionBlueprint.com 5. Feigning a Crisis or Need for Help Another tactic is creating a sense of urgency or crisis. They might claim they need your advice, help with a personal problem, or assistance with something they know you're good at. This tactic plays on your empathy and the bond you once shared, making it harder for you to ignore them. While it's natural to want to help someone you care about, consider whether their request is genuine or just a way to break no contact. Unless it's a true emergency, maintain your boundaries. 6. Offering Friendship Instead of Reconciliation Your ex might reach out to suggest staying friends. While this can sound innocent or even considerate, it's often a way to keep you in their life without committing to a romantic relationship. Accepting friendship when you want more can be emotionally painful and prevent you from fully moving on. As tempting as it might be to remain connected, settling for a “lowball” offer of friendship when you want romance will only prolong your heartache. Politely decline and focus on your own healing. 7. Testing the Waters with Small Gestures Your ex might send a brief text like “How are you?” or react to one of your social media posts to see how you respond. These actions are often more about satisfying their curiosity or ego than a genuine desire to reconnect. If their message doesn't clearly indicate a desire to reconcile, it's best to ignore it. Responding only gives them the validation they're seeking without addressing your deeper needs. Why You Should Stay Strong Breaking no contact can feel satisfying in the moment, especially if you've been missing your ex. However, it often leads to more heartache and confusion. When you break no contact in response to their tricks, you give away your power and diminish your value in their eyes. If your ex truly wants to reconcile, they need to take the initiative, make a clear effort, and show they're ready to commit. Anything less is likely to result in more pain and an uneven dynamic. Conclusion Recognizing the tricks your ex might use to make you break no contact is essential for maintaining your emotional strength and self-respect. Whether it's subtle gestures, social media posts, or orchestrated encounters, their actions are often more about fulfilling their needs than addressing yours. Stay strong, focus on your own growth, and trust that if reconciliation is meant to happen, it will come from genuine effort on their part. In the meantime, protecting your peace and dignity should remain your top priority. Get Coach Lee's $7 Reunion Blueprint at https://ReunionBlueprint.com

We warned you last month to “Throw Out Your Black Plastic Spatula.” In a recent study conducted about consumer products, researchers concluded kitchen utensils had some of the highest levels of flame retardants, which you do not want anywhere near your hot food. After the article was published, its author received reports, possibly exaggerated, of people in Burlington, Vermont, throwing their black plastic spatulas out en masse. You should too.  That article was just the appetizer. This episode of Radio Atlantic is the entire meal, coming to you in time for Thanksgiving. We talk to its author, staff writer Zoë Schlanger, about every other plastic thing in your kitchen: cutting boards, nonstick pans, plastic wrap, slow cookers, sippy cups. Read it before you cook. And prepare to hassle your plastic-loving hosts. Politely.  --- Share understanding this holiday season. For less than $2 a week, give a year-long Atlantic subscription to someone special.

Do you feel compelled to say “yes” to food during the holidays when someone offers you something that they made?

Anika and Liz attempt to change the timeline so Paramount never dropped Prodigy and we got to enjoy each episode week by week … but alas, we did not pay attention in Temporal Mechanics 101.  We're discussing Star Trek: Prodigy's "Who Saves the Saviors", including… Rok-Tahk knows when to keep her mouth shut and when to tattle, and also has done nothing wrong (ever, in her entire life) Dal has never watched Star Trek and isn't about to start now We have conflicting feelings about birds, and Liz drops some Doctor Who lore Tysses and Noum are the Married Mean Gays that Star Trek has needed for eternity. Yes, we just made that up. But it's canon in our hearts. And we would subscribe to their podcast. This isn't even the first time Chakotay has abandoned a bunch of kids in the Delta Quadrant! Why is everyone so determined to put Janeway and Chakotay in parental roles when it's clear they would both be very bad at it? Jankom represents some of Star Trek's best disability rep ever Janeway is deeply flawed, and that's good writing

On Today's episode, Mark speaks with Abby Johnson, who spent eight years as a clinic director with Planned Parenthood. On September 26, 2009, when Abby was asked to assist with an ultrasound-guided abortion. She watched in horror as a 13-week baby fought for, and ultimately lost her life at the hands of the abortionist. At that moment, Abby fully realized what abortion was and what she had dedicated her life to. Today, Abby travels across the globe sharing her story, educating the public on pro-life issues, advocating for the unborn, and reaching out to abortion clinic staff who still work in the industry. She is the founder of And Then There Were None, a ministry designed to assist abortion clinic workers in transitioning out of the industry. In this first portion of the interview, Mark asks Abby for her views on equal protection; should women mothers be exempt from laws that criminalize abortion? Mark also asks about her views on the use of abortion victim videos and photos in outreach or at abortion centers.

Here are some real-life examples shared: Withholding Information: If a colleague is withholding information, try speaking directly to them, clearly articulating your needs and the benefits of collaboration. If this doesn't work, consider seeking advice from a third party or involving their manager to help move things forward without appearing to complain. This ensures the problematic individual is aware of the situation but handled professionally. Condescending Comments: When a colleague speaks condescendingly to you, consider inviting them to explain what they would do in your shoes. For instance, if someone says, "You don't know what you're doing," ask them to solve the problem. Often, they'll realize your approach was correct, leading to greater respect and support in future interactions. Questioning Your Role: If someone questions your deservingness of a role, respond by asking them to clarify their concerns. For example, if they say, "I'm not sure why you are here since you don't have X skill," ask questions to help them better articulate their concerns so that you can have a productive conversation. Bias and Growth: If a colleague suggests you won't grow or get ahead due to bias, address it directly. For instance, if they say, "You won't advance here," remember that you have the power to choose what you believe in. Choose not to believe in those who don't believe in you. And commit to win. Gender Bias: If you face gender bias, such as a preference for speaking to a male colleague, address it directly. Politely assert your credibility by stating that they can choose to speak with you or forgo the service. This reinforces your authority and sets clear boundaries. Silenced: When asked to not talk or stay silent by a colleague, try to address it directly with them. State your intention for speaking, reaffirm the relationship, and let them know what changes you expect. You might find out they are going through some personal challenge and get an apology. Clashing Interests: If workplace clashes are impeding your ability to work, seek opinions on how to handle the situation. Escalate the issue if necessary, and don't be afraid to choose your well-being by speaking up over silently enduring toxic environment. Speaking up takes courage but can inspire others watching from the sidelines. Overall, handling difficult colleagues with integrity involves clear communication, assertiveness, and a commitment to maintaining professionalism and self-respect. These approaches not only resolve conflicts but also inspire others and promote a healthier work environment.

Have you ever had someone offer some sort of support or help to you that you didn't necessarily want, but you didn't know how to say no without hurting their feelings? When you are hurting or struggling or need some extra help, you do get to have a say in the matter. You can choose which counselor you want to meet with. You can decide which friends to confide in. You can determine which activities are healthy for you and which ones are not. You look at what's available to you and make a choice. In short, you have the power to choose. Not everyone is going to understand your choices, and that's okay. The important thing is that you are letting God lead you in those decisions and that you are staying close to Him. You don't want to make decisions out of guilt or fear or because you're mad at someone. But you do want to make smart, healthy, God-honoring decisions when you are hurting. And sometimes that means saying no to someone else. Today, I want to help you learn how to politely decline an offer of help—especially when it comes from someone you love.  Kari   >> Grab your copy of my Courageous Care book http://lovedoesthat.org/care   RELATED EPISODES + RESOURCES: ·       Episode 11: How to Ask for Help When You Need It ·       Episode 49: Finding Your Stretcher Bearers: The People Who Can Help Carry You Through a Difficult Season ·       Episode 70: What to Do When You Don't Have Anyone to Encourage You, When It Seems No One Cares ·       Episode 78: Tips for When You're Afraid of Being Misunderstood ______ >> Free Journaling Workshop: 3 ways to encounter God on the pages of your journal http://lovedoesthat.org/journalingworkshop >> Journal Gently: An 8-week program designed to help you process grief and trauma with God http://lovedoesthat.org/journalgently   Music by DappyTKeys

Hey there, ladies in business! Today's episode is all about a topic that unfortunately many of us have faced: dealing with misogynistic comments at work. Dr. Helen Hunt, Director of the Women's Center at Tennessee Tech leads our conversation based on years of research! First off, let's acknowledge how frustrating and hurtful it can be to hear these kinds of remarks. Whether it's a subtle jab or an outright offensive comment, it's never easy to brush off. But remember, you are not alone in this experience. One key strategy is to respond with confidence and assertiveness. Don't let these comments slide. Politely but firmly address the person making the comment. You can say something like, "I don't appreciate that comment. Let's keep our conversation professional." Finding support is also crucial. Talk to a trusted colleague, mentor, or friend about what happened. Their perspective and advice can be invaluable in navigating these situations. Lastly, remember to take care of yourself. Dealing with these comments can take a toll on your mental and emotional well-being. Practice self-care and don't hesitate to seek professional support if you need it. By addressing misogynistic comments head-on and seeking support, you can help create a more respectful and inclusive workplace for yourself and others. You are not alone.  Stay strong, and remember, you've got this!

I'm ready to dazzle! I have on my heels, my dress, and my glitter as I enter the doors of Blaisdale Arena and make my way to my seat near the front row. I can feel my heart racing with anticipation.  Then, the lights go out. The fog on stage gets thicker. The familiar beat begins, and it's as if my heart starts to beat with it in unison. Suddenly, the backup singers take their places on the stage. And through the haze, I finally see him. As he comes into focus, there's cheering, and screaming, and some nearby me are even crying. We're all so excited to see what we've been looking forward to for months: Prince performing live on stage, in person, in living color! At that moment, we're all in the middle of this story happening around us. Years later, I can recall where I sat, what I thought, and who I was with that evening. That's what a powerful experience that earns a permanent place in the memory can do.  Starting from his days as a civil engineering student, my special guest Adam Metwally is all about creating experiences for others using a combination of his various interests, knowledge, and experience.

You'll also get answers to questions like: How do you build trust and connection as an interviewer of those who want to share stories? How can better understanding your influence affect the story of others and, in turn, impact your own? And why is genuine authenticity essential for effective storytelling?  What you will learn in this episode: How to bring out and develop the story within an event What the keys are to getting good stories out of other people How to build genuine confidence and why it is key to authenticity Who is Adam?
