Podcasts about regional manager

In this episode, we sit down with Kevin Birch, Regional Manager at CNA Surety, to explore best practices for contractor ESOPs. A key theme throughout our conversation is communication—and lots of it. One of the biggest mistakes a contractor can make is surprising their surety with news of an ESOP transaction. Kevin strongly recommends that contractors—whether general or specialty—get their surety agent and company involved early in the process. Doing so allows the proposed ESOP structure to be reviewed and vetted, ensuring buy-in from your surety partner. Throughout the podcast we discuss how critical it is to present models that illustrate valuation, cash flow projections, debt structure, and pro forma balance sheets. These elements are essential for the surety to properly underwrite the transition and help avoid issues with your bonding line after the ESOP is in place.

Teen-Turn, a charity dedicated to empowering young women from underserved and underrepresented communities to pursue STEM careers, delivered its spring "Teen-Turn Super Session" at the University of Limerick on Saturday, April 5th. The event brought together over 60 girls from Connacht and Munster for a day of hands-on learning, mentorship, and exploration of university life. Teen-Turn Super Sessions are a key part of Teen-Turn's mission to provide the training and support necessary for girls to make informed decisions about their educational and career paths, particularly in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). With the guidance of industry professionals, university staff, and Teen-Turn alumni, participants engage in intensive, collaborative sessions, upskilling and working on their current after-school program projects and gaining invaluable insights into the world of STEM. This Super Session focused on guiding girls working in teams to code mobile apps that address real-world challenges. The girls also developed accompanying business plans, marketing strategies and pitches, which will be showcased at a Technovation Regional Pitch Event in May. Technovation activities aim to equip girls aged 10-18 with the skills to become tech entrepreneurs and leaders. "We were thrilled University of Limerick was able to host this Super Session event and to introduce the girls to the campus, explore the opportunities within the Computer Science and Immersive Software Engineering departments and meet the incredible staff and students there," said Iseut Mangan, Regional Manager for Teen-Turn. "For some of these girls, this was their first time visiting a university campus and it was an exciting moment that could shape their future educational and career choices. By familiarising themselves with the campus, they can better visualise themselves as university students. The support they receive from mentors is essential in helping them believe in themselves now so as to achieve a STEM career in the future." The Teen-Turn Super Session featured mentors specifically from the Immersive Software Engineering department at UL, who guided the girls through coding exercises, app development, and business plan creation. Additionally, some of Teen-Turn's alumnae, who participated in many Super Sessions during their journey with Teen-Turn and are now first-year students in Immersive Software Engineering at UL and Biomedical Engineering in MTU, joined the event as a peer mentors, sharing their experiences and offering advice to the girls. Teen-Turn's programmes, including after-school activities, Saturday PLUS clubs, and work placements, provide girls with the skills, confidence and resources to navigate the STEM education system and make informed decisions about Leaving Certificate subject choices and third-level course options. Teen-Turn remains with the girls throughout their journey, from Junior Cert to job, offering continued support through college years and into the workforce. By connecting participants with female role models in the industry, Teen-Turn ensures that girls from all backgrounds have access to the tools and inspiration they need to succeed. "We believe that no girl should be limited by her background, home circumstances or geography when it comes to choosing a career in STEM," said Iseult Mangan. "The programmes we offer start at second level and continue with the girls through college and into the workforce. We help break down barriers and create a supportive community where girls can thrive, explore their potential, and set their sights on a future in technology and innovation." This Super Session event underscored Teen-Turn's ongoing commitment to skilling and supporting the next generation of female leaders in STEM.

Welcome to the third episode of our C4 series on Stories from the River, in which we go behind the scenes at a recent C4 Sales Training event in Charlotte and speak with some of the Memory Makers at Broad River Retail who attended.  Head Coach Stacey McCormick introduces this episode and dives into the purpose for and the evolution of the C4 process at Broad River Retail.

Guest: Cole Strauss   Guest Bio: Leading the Texas region at igus Inc., I focus on nurturing customer relationships and driving new business development through strategic leadership and industrial sales acumen. My role involves guiding our sales force, negotiating high-value contracts, and ensuring our mission of being the easiest company to deal with is realized with every customer interaction. I am currently transitioning into the National Sales Manager role for Chainflex Cables, effective January 2025. I hold an Engineering degree from Texas State University and an MBA from UT Permian Basin. Before joining Igus, I worked for John Deere, Continental Automotive, and Vehicle Monitor Corporation, gaining experience in manufacturing, engineering, and sales. I live in San Antonio, TX with my wife, Kelsie, our son, Beckett, and our two dogs Lady and Cleo. I spend most of my free time with family and friends but also spend some alone as an avid outdoorsman who appreciates the relaxation only the woods can offer.   Key Points: Role & Background: Cole is the new National Sales Manager for Igus, Inc., a role he has held for 14 days. He has an engineering degree from Texas State University and an MBA from the University of Texas Permian Basin. Before his current role, Cole worked as a manufacturing engineer and transitioned into sales at Igus, Inc over the last four and a half years. He started as a Territory Sales Manager and later became a Regional Manager.   Company Mission: Igus's mission is to be "the easiest company to deal with" in every customer interaction. This is central to their customer service philosophy. Cole explains that being easy to deal with involves being responsive, providing reliable support, and ensuring customers receive solutions, even if those solutions come from other departments. It's about building trust and being an advisor, not just a salesperson.   Strategic Partnerships: Cole plans to grow sales revenue through both external and internal strategic partnerships. External partnerships include working with distributors and catalog houses, while internal partnerships focus on better alignment between outside and inside sales teams to improve customer service and product offerings.   Sales Philosophy: Igus aims to sell on the value of their products, even if they are priced higher than competitors. Cole emphasizes showing customers the long-term cost savings through product durability and fewer replacements. Changing the mindset of outside salespeople from focusing on immediate low cost to emphasizing lifetime costs and return on investment is key.   Sales Team Management: Cole prioritizes attitude over experience when hiring. He believes a good attitude is more important than technical experience because the right attitude leads to success in the sales process. He values teamwork, with a focus on communication and ownership within the team, helping people take the next step in their careers.   Hiring Process: When hiring, Cole looks for candidates with the right attitude and a basic mechanical background. He emphasizes finding people who are reliable, accountable, and have a strong work ethic. He also uses personal referrals to assess candidates' true character.   Challenges in Sales Management: Cole acknowledges that managing a large sales team (about 50 territory managers) means dealing with many problems simultaneously. His engineering background helps him troubleshoot and find solutions without panicking, ensuring that issues are resolved efficiently while balancing internal and external needs.   Work-Life Balance: Cole mentioned the challenge of managing a team while balancing work and personal life, sharing a humorous anecdote about how he sometimes struggles to "turn off" his problem-solving mindset even at home.    Guest Links:  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cole-strauss-igus/      About Salesology®: Conversations with Sales Leaders Download your free gift, The Salesology® Vault. The vault is packed full of free gifts from sales leaders, sales experts, marketing gurus and revenue generation experts.

The Postbank says it is close to finding a solution to ensure that social grant beneficiaries who are bedridden are able to acquire a Postbank card. This, as the bank is administrating the process of grant beneficiaries migrating from a SASSA gold card to Postbank black cards.

For gaming, for instance, it's important to explore strategies to re-engage users post-install with a focus on maintaining engagement, building loyalty, and also increasing lifetime value.”(14:16-14:32) Hide - Japan & Korea: “What we sometimes see is a lot of collaboration. Let's say a specific game does a collaboration with an anime character, a Disney character, or even specific brands. During these collaborations, game developers want to really push their advertising spend, including retargeting.”(8.41-9.09) Maria - INSEA: "We've seen finance apps really taking off. One of the reasons for that is there is a big push across SE Asia for cashless payments, but we also see a trend in microloans as well. Micro loans are really cool in the sense that they actually empower underserved communities and businesses where traditional banking has not reached them yet."7.22-7.45 Hide - Japan & Korea:  "Before, we saw a lot of smaller, independent gaming companies publishing new games, and an app is a great way to access all different markets around the world. You develop a great game, put it on the Google Play Store and you reach users all around the world, but marketing it takes a lot of knowledge and financial muscles – so we've started to see this consolidation of gaming companies."Mentioned in this episode:Patrick Eichmann's LinkedInMaria Latif's LinkedInHide Cho's LinkedInKate Taganova's LinkedInRemerge
