Oonagh O'Reilly has been involved in sales in one form or another from the early days learning on the farm to various high performing roles with the NI Chamber of Commerce, The IFA and the ICC Belfast. We have a varied conversation - the importance of having a purpose and vision, getting a handle on the basics of sales and marketing which allows you to not have to worry about revenue and some valuable life lessons from working on the farm. As a high performing athlete, playing GAA for her native county, Oonagh is clearly as focused on success in her role as Sales and Marketing Director of the ICC

With sales training there aren't many guarantees although the degree of certainty does improve dependant on a number of factors. A clear strategy, willingness to learn & coach-ability, strong leadership, a sound and understood culture, buy-in. I try hard to live by the idiom "it's not about being right but about doing the right thing that matters." Behavioural change isn't easy - especially if you own the business or if you are a sales leader at manager or director level. Guesting on this episode of the Shift Control Sales is Benjamin Dennehy - self titled as The UK's most hated sales trainer. A befitting title for someone controversial and outspoken? Perhaps, but Benjamin's iconoclastic approach to sales training is definitely worth considering if you are serious about performance improvement in your team. We cover a lot of ground that might make for some uncomfortable listening for a few people...mainly sales leaders and business owners as he (and me) call out some behaviours that are responsible for underperforming sales teams. The odd curse word thrown in, it's a high paced episode that I hope offers a lot of value to those of you who are serious in changing the way you do things in sales.

Hugh Gilmore has spent over a decade providing sport psychology support to Olympians and Paralympians, coaches and the associated multidisciplinary teams. He is passionate about training people in Motivational Interviewing, (MINT Member) and has also trained in Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT**) at the Albert Ellis institute in NYC. (**Acronym alert) In this podcast we discuss the broad area of building culture within teams - Hugh introduces many of the disciplines and theories that he has applied to Olympic & world class weightlifting and athletics teams. I learnt about OAP - Observable, Achievable, Promotable - if you are changing your cultural behaviour internally does it follow the 3...is it observable? is it achievable? is it promotable? I learned about the difference between informal and formal culture. And I learnt about REBT - Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy. Much of what we do in the sales environment is process driven but at the very core sits people - employees, customers and prospects. I hope you find something in this episode - I always enjoy chatting with Hugh. He puts serious depth to the whole idea of culture, team building and performance improvement, fills in the gaps (where there are plenty) and leaves us maybe asking more questions of ourselves and our strategies for change. Enjoy.

Richy Donnelly is an entrepreneur and elite athlete, running the very excellent Natur&Co in Co Tyrone and playing Tyrone club Football with Trillick and inter county with Tyrone. WE had been in conversation way back before COVID about his desire and vision to set up a coffee shop with a focus on natural ingredients and wholesome foods, wellbeing and fitness - today his coffee shop, Natur&Co just outside Omagh is the embodiment of his vision. In the podcast we talk about the challenges of being an entrepreneur, following the vision, setting up a business in the current climate and trying to fit in life around the demands of inter county football.

Over the course of this and the last series of podcasts, I had tried to uncover some of what it takes to build high performing teams in sales - more often than not, talking about improving performance in a way that is both relevant and meaningful to business owners and sales management in the SME sector. In this episode I talk with Noel Slane from Irish start up, Food Guard. Noel has experience and an excellent track record when it comes to high performance sales and building high performance sales teams. From his recent experience with US based Cyber Security Company, #OPSWAT and in his latest start up FoodGuard, Noel talks about building teams from the bottom up - recruiting for values over academia, achieving stellar sales performance and building an SDR team in Carrickmore, Co Tyrone who sell into some of the toughest markets in the world - Defence, Public Sector, Bio-pharma, Finance.... Noel shares some valuable insights that would benefit business owners, sales directors, C-suite leaders as well as those sales people who are keen to improve their own performance. The common thread in many of these podcasts is culture and the importance of values that resonate amongst the sales team - not just for the sales team but also the business owners and directors. Noel shares his experience of a number of companies - some that get it right and some that don't. Check out Noel's new business www.foodguard.ie

Kevin Young is a practitioner and counsellor in Compassionate Inquiry. Based in Northern Ireland, Kevin works closely with Dr Gabor Maté and works with teams and individuals throughout the world. He has a lifetime experience working in sales and sales management, working for corporates as well as being self-employed - he now coaches, offers counselling and mentoring as well as undertaking the important roles of husband and father as well as being a musician. We talk about the major challenge facing business of any size - recruitment and retention, which predictably takes us into the world of cultural transformation and perhaps unpredictably the world of emotional wellbeing. Days off work due to emotional stress and mental health causes the Uk economy £70 Billion a year - it's an unavoidable discussion. Kevin can be found art www.in-mynd.com. He's also hosting a retreat at the end of June in Strangford - amazing location, incredible venue and just the kind of content your mind and body needs, even if you don't know it.

This is the first Shift Control podcast of 2022 - also available on YouTube, featuring Gregory Bradley from BLK BOX, the Belfast based fitness equipment manufacturer. Celebrating 10 years in business, the company has grown into a genuine market leader and is considered to be one of the exemplar Irish manufacturing companies. In the week that the podcast was recorded they had just finished an install for Manchester United and whilst they work alongside many of the global sporting brands in GAA, Rugby, soccer and myriad other sports, they are fast becoming the provider of choice for individuals, gyms and amateur sports teams. Gregory talks about how the company transitioned into an e-commerce business at the beginning of the pandemic and how they work towards delivering the very highest standards of customer service. As the business as grown they have moved premises and at their North Belfast facility, they have taken much of the production process internally, giving them much greater control one how they run their business. Gregory talks about the importance of culture within BLK BOX and mentions the 'non-negotiables,' the expected behaviours of the staff and the current recruitment and retention challenges they face along with the rest of the manufacturing sector in the North. He demands very high standards from himself and posits the notion that he does not ask anything from his staff that he would not expect from himself. Greg was on the SHIFT CONTROL podcast 6 years ago and it is interesting to watch his personal development as well as the development and growth of his business. I genuinely hope you enjoy listening to this podcast as much I enjoyed recording it. Hard to explain how hard it was for me to record and then publish this podcast - operating very much outside the comfort zone but I think that Greg's contribution is immense and has made all the anxiety worth while. I hope you enjoy.

Following a recent conversation with a client, this podcast focuses on 'Commodity Selling' If the sales person creates the narrative that what they are selling is 'just a commodity' then the buyer has it within their gift to immediately talk about price. When the negotiations go straight to price, it becomes almost impossible for the seller to protect that price. The growth of coffee over the last many many years is a great example of how a commodity can be celebrated and gain substantial margin increases. In the podcast I discuss the 3 waves of coffee growth and how making the sales process an educational one - supported by excellent customer service - you can create more value that the customer is happier to pay more for. Shift Control is a sales training and sales coaching consultancy, working with individuals and teams across Ireland.

Does everyone have a biased viewpoint? How you vote, what you buy, what you read - all of our conventional 'consumer behaviour' is influenced and informed by who we are, our family background, schools, geography, what we read, who we hang out with... How do these biases affect the world view of our business, of our marketing messages, our value propositions and in turn how does that thinking impact how sales people fully engage with customers and new prospects. Shift Control is a business improvement consultancy focusing on delivering sales training and sales coaching to individuals, teams and organisations throughout the island of Ireland.

Episode 29: Stendhal Festival by Shift Control

The second episode includes more insights and anecdotes from Damian Hughes, author of 5 Steps To A Winning Mindset, where he goes deeper into values in action, behaviours and reconfirms the importance of culture at the heart of any team - either in sport or business. This has been one of the most fascinating conversations I've had during the short time I have been doing the Shift Control podcast - mirroring my feelings about the 5 Steps to A Winning Mindset. Damian has an ability to break down the complex into manageable and easy-to-understand chunks. I hope you enjoy listening to this podcast as much as I did recording it. Cheers Damian

Discussion: Now that you have downloaded and set preferences, you need to become familiar with the Arduino Integrated Development Environment, or IDE for short.  It works just like a text editor program. I'm only going to cover what I think is important for us to know right now.  We do a deeper dive on an as needed basis as we progress through the course.  Specifically, in this lesson we'll cover: Selecting an Arduino Board and Serial Port Saving an Arduino File The Editor, Message Area, and Console A Few Other “Good to Know” Items So let's open the Arduino Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and get started.  Do this by clicking the Arduino icon. Which Board and Serial Port Should I Use? The first thing we're going to discuss is selecting the correct board.  We have to let the Integrated Development Environment know what Arduino board you're using. Go to the “Tools” tab, and then go down to where it says “Board”.  You'll notice I selected the Arduino Uno since that is what I will use throughout the course. I recommend that you use an Uno or an Uno derivative throughout the course, as well.  This will standardize our work in these lessons. Once you've selected the board, next you need to select your serial port.  People can sometimes be intimidated by this technical term, but you don’t have to be. Serial ports are just the different things connected to your computer.  The easiest way to find out which of the ports listed is your Arduino is to first unplug the Arduino from the computer. Go to the ports list under the “Tools” tab, and write down the names of these ports. You only need to write enough to differentiate one from the next - maybe the last word or last few letters. Then, close your Arduino IDE.  Plug your Arduino board back in via the USB cable to your computer.  Open the Arduino IDE. You should now be able to see an additional serial port not on the list you originally wrote down.  That will be the serial port to which your Arduino is connected. For Mac, you'll usually see cu or tty after the “dev/”.  Those are the common ways Arduino will show up on the serial port for a Mac. For a PC, it shows up as a COM port, but it's hard to know which one it will be.  It could be one, two, four, etc. That’s why the best method, although primitive, is just to unplug and plug the Arduino back into that port. Once you’ve chosen the board and port the first time, these settings will stay the same for any subsequent times you reopen the Arduino IDE. The reason I point this out is that if you happen to get a different board at some point, you will have to remember to change the board that is selected. The Arduino File When you open the Arduino IDE for the first time, it will open up a file for you, giving it a default name.  That default is sketch, underscore, and the current date. That name also appears at the top of the IDE, along with the version of Arduino you're using. To save this, go to the “File” tab and then to “Save”.  It's just like saving any other file.  Notice it asks you to save the file in “Documents”. Remember that in Arduino, files are referred to as sketches.  So, the collection of our sketches is known as the sketchbook.  The sketchbook folder is where all of the sketches we write will be saved. Of course, you can also nest your files in that folder just like you could in any other program where you're saving files.  It's really no different. Take a look at the name I chose for my file.  There are certain rules you must follow when choosing a name for your sketch. When you're naming a file, you can't use any spaces between the words.  One common method is to use an underscore where you would have normally preferred a space. You can't use special characters, either.  You can use numbers in the name, but you can't have a number as the first character.  Lastly, the names are limited to 64 characters. So, using these rules, name your sketch and save it. You'll see that the name on the tab and at the top of the screen now displays the name of your newly saved sketch. So, saving is really easy.  The shortcut command is Ctrl S.  There is also a down arrow that you can click. The Editor, Message Area, and Console There are three main areas of the Integrated Development Environment:  the editor, the message bar, and the console. The editor is the big white space.  It’s where you type the Arduino code. It has number lines down the side - as long as that was one of the preferences you checked from our last lesson on choosing your settings. Right now it shows one through nine.  If we were to add more code or move our cursor down further, it would adds numbers as lines are added. I want to point out one thing in this name here.  Do you see the little funky looking “s”? Every time you make a change to the sketch that has not been saved, that s will be displayed.  If I save the file, it goes away. If I were to type something in the sketch again, the funky little s would come back.  It’s just a visual reminder to save your changes. Personally, I am a save fanatic.  For just about every single line of code I write, I use the shortcut key Control S to save before I go on to the next line. I want to make sure I don't lose anything in the event that I have an issue with either the Arduino IDE, my computer, unexpected interruptions, or whatever might happen. There is something interesting you might have noticed when you open a new sketch in Arduino.  It auto-populates two of the mandatory functions for coding in Arduino. This is why you see void setup an void loop.  We'll talk about these in depth later, but it's perfectly normal for these to show up.  It’s just a way of helping you save time when you code. On top of the editor area are two very important buttons. The first one is a check mark.  It is the Verify button.  When you click this, the code gets compiled. Compiling, as discussed before, is taking the human readable code that we've written and translating it into machine code.  As it compiles, the program will point out any errors found in that code. It also does some optimization.  This is a way behind the scenes concept that you don't have to worry about right now, though. You constantly want to check for errors in your code.  I like to verify my code at almost every line of code I write along the way. The more you verify, the more quickly you can identify where you might have introduced an error into the code, i.e. find and fix a bug.  We'll be using this verify button all the time. The shortcut key for verify is Command R or Control R.  You can also verify by going to the “Sketch” tab. That other button is the Upload button.  That takes all of the code that we've written and uploads it to the Arduino board. When you click that button and look at your Arduino board (assuming that it’s hooked up to your computer via the USB cable), you'll see two lights blinking rapidly.  That is the TX and RX buttons. This is a good visual indicator that you have a good connection between the Arduino board and the computer.  The IDE is recognizing that you have a board hooked up.  In other words, the lights tell you that the code is successfully being uploaded to the board. The shortcut key to upload is Control U or Command U.  It is available in the dropdown under the “Sketch” tab, as well. The second main area of the IDE is this blue bar.  It is the message bar. It will display information about what you've done recently in the program.  For example, I just uploaded.  You can see that it says, “Done Uploading.” If I press Control S to save, it would say, “Done Saving.”  There are other pertinent messages that display while you are using the program. The third main area of the IDE is the black space below the message bar.  It is called the Console. Now, you probably won't hear it referred to as the console very often.  Many people just call it the error section, or some other generic term. If you want to increase the console’s space, there is a bar you can drag up.  It may be hard to see, so I put a box around it. The console displays the error messages.  It will tell you information about the current operation that you did. For illustration purposes, let me introduce an error into the code and verify it.  I’ll just type a crude, uncoded line somewhere in the editor area. You can see that we get definitely get a reaction out of the Arduino IDE.  First, the message bar gives us a quick note saying that you wasn’t declared. Again, don't worry about understanding the error itself or any of the terminology displayed.  I just want you to see where different types of information shows up. Then, in the console much more detailed information about the error is displayed.  It tells you what file it was in, what function it was in, and even the line of code.  Here it says the error was in line three. If we look back up at line three in the editor, we can see that it gets highlighted.  That's where we can start looking for our error. Unfortunately, it will not always point out the correct line of code for the error.  You might have to do a little searching around, but that is a discussion for another time and another lesson. You now know the three big pieces of the Arduino IDE.  We walked through the editor, the message bar, and the console. Miscellaneous Tidbits There are a few final items we should discuss that are good to know.  At the very bottom of the IDE is a number.  Currently ours shows the number three. That simply refers to the line of code where your cursor is located.  It seems like such a small detail, but it is very handy. Once you begin to work with larger and larger sketches, it may be harder to keep track of your cursor.  This is especially true if you decide not to display line numbers down the side. Also, in the far right corner you'll see some additional information. It is the name of the Arduino board and which serial port that you identified earlier that you’re using. In the top right, there is a little magnifying glass.  This is for the Serial Monitor. If you click it, a window like this opens: The Serial Monitor window allows us to see communication occurring between the Arduino and the computer, and vice versa.  We'll have an entire lesson later down the road about the Serial Monitor and communications. For now, just know that the button is there.  The shortcut key for the Serial Monitor is Shift-Control(or Command)-M. Now Get Going! You now know enough information to start using the Arduino IDE.  You can see it's not too complex.  The IDE is very simple and streamlined. Arduino was designed for ease of use.  There's not a bunch of bells and whistles that can sometimes get in your way.  I have no doubt you’ll be an Arduino pro in no time.
