00:00 - 00:03We're being shopped by all of our major partners
00:04 - 00:05and our competitors are dropping their pants
00:05 - 00:07on every single quote
00:08 - 00:12We have a few deals that could bill
00:12 - 00:16a defence juniper deal, ibm power and vmware ELA
00:17 - 00:20The gap can be closed by 3rd Platform with a Powered By Avnet deal
00:23 - 00:28Sir...our customers...
00:31 - 00:33our customers don't want Powered by Avnet
00:34 - 00:36They want us to lift customer service and be competitive with pricing
00:53 - 00:58The following employees are to remain in the room. Adrian, Paul, Winston and Sandeep
01:13 - 01:15THIS IS A SALES ORGANISATION!!!
01:15 - 01:17Who cares what the market wants, you MAKE them buy
01:18 - 01:23We are a value added leader in distribution, how dare they ask for better pricing
01:25 - 01:28the challenger sale clearly explained all of this
01:29 - 01:31Relationship selling is a myth, you must demand their business
01:31 - 01:34You'll all be presenting gap plans to me immediately
01:34 - 01:37There's no way i'm dropping our number, region will crucify me.
01:37 - 01:40You're all going under the bus
01:40 - 01:42Sir, our original forecast was correct but you made...
01:42 - 01:46DON'T TELL ME WHAT YOU CAN'T DO!!!
01:46 - 01:48Sir, the numbers you're putting up are not realistic..
01:48 - 01:52How dare you lecture me on your "reality". I have my finger on the pulse
01:53 - 01:54I'm just a boy from Blacktown
01:56 - 01:57I ran the Cisco business in the states
01:57 - 02:00I've been with the company for a decade
02:00 - 02:03What I say makes perfect sense and must be obeyed!
02:04 - 02:08What do you mean you can't add value to an RFQ?
02:08 - 02:13Every VMWare ELA can be turned into Powered by Avnet
02:14 - 02:16Customers want to buy from us because of who we are
02:17 - 02:21We don't need to improve our systems, customer service and account management
02:27 - 02:29The challenger sale was very clear on that front
02:30 - 02:34I live that book. It's a part of ME!!
02:34 - 02:36change the conversation
02:41 - 02:42How is Dicker gaining so much market share?
02:43 - 02:47the man looks like a notorious sex predator for christs sake!!
02:48 - 02:53Why do partners keep buying from him?
02:54 - 02:56and then there's those bottom feeders at Ingram Micro
02:56 - 02:59They add no value at all, they are a bargain basement
03:00 - 03:02how the hell do they make any money relying solely on vendor rebate?
03:04 - 03:07Don't worry Violet, we'll get you another assistant
03:14 - 03:16I suppose you're all waiting me out
03:19 - 03:23hoping i'll leave or get the boot
03:25 - 03:26it's not going to happen
03:31 - 03:33I am here for life
03:40 - 03:46I'm Williams man down under, he does what I say not the other way around
03:46 - 03:49You think bullying only works on you plebs?
03:53 - 03:56get used to it
