Interviewing with a CEO

If you are interviewing with a CEO then I think big picture questions would be appropriate.

1. How would you describe the company's culture?
2. Why do employees like working here?
3. What are the company's three to five year goals and what is the plan to achieve them?
4. Why do clients do business with your company vs. your competitors?
5. What are you doing to make this a better company?

This Korean super-genius was born in 1962 and might just be the smartest guy alive today (he’s recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as having the highest IQ of anyone on the planet). By the age of four he was already able to read in Japanese, Korean, German, and English. At his fifth birthday, he solved complicated differential and integral calculus problems. Later, on Japanese television, he demonstrated his proficiency in Chinese, Spanish, Vietnamese, Tagalog, German, English, Japanese, and Korean. Kim was listed in the Guinness Book of World Records under “Highest IQ”; the book estimated the boy’s score at over 210.Kim was a guest student of physics at Hanyang University from the age of 3 until he was 6. At the age of 7 he was invited to America by NASA. He finished his university studies, ventually getting a Ph.D. in physics at Colorado State University before he was 15. In 1974, during his university studies, he began his research work at NASA and continued this work until his return to Korea in 1978 where he decided to switch from physics to civil engineering and eventually received a doctorate in that field. Kim was offered the chance to study at the most prestigious universities in Korea , but instead chose to attend a provincial university.

He is the founder of International Youth Advocates, an organization that promotes principles of peace and understanding among young people throughout the world. He has met with Bill Clinton and Mikhail Gorbachev and spoke in front of the UN. For these and other humanitarian and advocacy efforts, Smith has been nominated four times for a Nobel Peace Prize. His latest achievement? He just got his driver license.

He was seven. His patient — a local girl who could not afford a doctor — was eight. Her hand had been burnt in a fire, causing her fingers to close into a tight fist that wouldn’t open. Akrit had no formal medical training and no experience of surgery, yet he managed to free her fingers and she was able to use her hand again.

Selling @ CEO's

It always boils down to positioning value when selling at C Level anywhere, more so in services sales. Its all about articulation and clear communication of scope that wins you more deals from same customer and also helps you add more customers to your existing portfolio of offerings.It is good to have a one-off great impression sale, the bigger challenge is to foster relationship based selling, which ensures multiple-sells in future.

Positioning yourself as a solutions-provider rather than a product/service vendor certainly helps. Follow an 80:20 rule while interacting with "C" level individuals - 80% listening and 20% talking. It certainly works if you LISTEN to your prospect's problems and then give him the specific information he needs.

Do your research!! Ensure that you have all the facts straight about their current situation, incumbent suppliers, costs, contract renewal dates, satisfaction level of existing services, internal sponsors, etc, etc. Only then will you be able to confidently pitch your services knowing what the C level contact is going to want to hear. If you can tell him/her what he/she needs, rather than asking them to tell you, they'll always be impressed and at least give you some of their time.

The first question you need to answer is, "who really owns the problem you're going to solve, and who owns the decision you want made?". If it is indeed the CFO or CEO, then the feedback others gave regarding forget the tricks and techniques and just call them, and talk to them about something they care about. The first thing you’ll need to figure out, is why would the CEO or CFO care about your product or service. I can guarantee you, the fastest way to ensure a C-level call goes badly, is to start talking about your product or service. What most senior executives care about is solving problems or achieving specific goals.

So the first thing you need to figure out is, what does your product or service do that will help the CEO solve a problem or achieve a goal that they are personally responsible for. For the CEO some examples might be issues that impact Business Continuity, Overall Revenue goals, (especially for public firms), Company Image or Reputation, etc and for the CFO goals or problems around Profitability, Cost Reduction goals, or Cash Flow. Google the CEO or CFO or look on the company web site under Press Releases, see if they've publicly stated any goals in this regard, then align what your solution does with how it would fundamentally impact those goals. This will also give you some context about how they talk about these goals or problems from their perspective.

The most important part of a C-level call, is to first get them to confirm if they have problems or objectives around the issues you want to talk to them about. That can only be accomplished with intelligent questions, not with a “product pitch”.

The interesting thing about C-levels, is that if you really you can help them achieve their goals or solve their problems, initially they won’t really care if you do that by Training, Software or Gerbils in a wheel. They just care about the problem or the goal. That’s why you talk about the Problem or Goal first, and how you help second.

Last piece of advice, keep it short and to the point. Don't build rapport, don't ask them how their day is going, instead, just tell them why you're calling, why you thought that would be important to them, and then ask them if that's important to them and then shut-up and let them answer. If you can indeed align yourself with their C-level goals or problems, you'll be surprised how many will be open to a brief and to the point conversation.

And yes, never forget the golden rule "you need him more than he needs you"

Tumhein Ek Qatil Bana Diya

Mujhe Daikho Khuwahish-E-Jan-E-Jaan

Tumhain Itna Hosh Tha Jub Kahan
Na Chalao Is Tarah Tum Zaban

Tumhein Baat Karna Sikha Diya

Yeh Jo Halka Halka Saroor Hai,
Yeh Teri Nazar Ka Kasoor Hai

NICE INCIDENT TO SHARE

One truck driver was doing his usual load delivery at a mental hospital, by parking his vehicle beside an open drain.

He discovered a flat tyre when he was about to return from the mental hospital. He jacked up the truck and removed the flat tyre to fix the spare tyre.When he was about to fix the spare tyre, he accidentally dropped all the 4 bolts in the open drain.

As he cannot fish the bolts in the open drain, he started to panic as to what should be done?Just then, one patient happened to walk past him and asked the driver as to why he was looking troubled.

The driver thought to himself, since there is nothing much he can do or this mental joker can. Just to keep the bugging away, the truck driver informed the whole episode to the mental patient and gave a helpless look.

The patient just laughed at the truck driver and said “you just cannot even fix such a simple problem? No wonder you are destined to remain a truck driver for life".

The truck driver was astonished to hear such a compliment from a mental guy." Here is what you can do “said the mental guy

"Take one bolt from each of the remaining 3 tyres/wheels and fix it on to this tyre. Then drive down to the nearest workshop and replace the missing ones. Isn’t it simple my friend ".

The truck driver was so impressed with this quick fix answer and asked the patient "how come you are so smart and intelligent and you are here at the mental hospital?"
The patient replied..." hello friend! I stay here because I am crazy but not stupid".

No wonder, there are some people, who behave like the Truck Driver, thinking that others are just stupid. So, guys, though you all are learned and wise, but, just watch out, there could be some CRAZY guys in our professional / personal lives, who could give us lot of quick fixes and brush our wisdom.

The moral of the story is - just do not conclude that you know everything and do not judge people by mere looks/ attire stature or academic background.

My All Time Favourite Quotes

Excellence is not an act, rather a habit.

I cannot believe that the purpose of life is to be happy. I think the purpose of life is to be useful, to be responsible, to be compassionate. It is, above all to matter, to count, to stand for something, to have made some difference that you lived at all.

"People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway. If you are successful you will win some false friends and true enemies; Succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway. What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; Be happy anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you've got anyway You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God; It was never between you and them anyway." - Mother Theresa

Why do you worry? Who are you afraid of? Whatever has happened has happened for the good. What is happening is also happening for the good. Whatever will happen, will be for good also. Do not repent over the past, or worry for the future. Do your duty selflessly---and to the best of your abilities---in the present only.

What have you lost for which you cry? You did not bring anything to this world when you were born. You are unnecessarily attached to your possessions. This attachment is the root cause of all your sufferings. Treat all your possessions as a trust property given to you by the God. Let the thoughts of 'I' and 'my' be completely wiped of your mind. Practice detached attachment. Always remember the creator, and surrender to the will of the Lord.

Why worry about the unavoidable death? Change is the law of nature. Atmaa (Spirit) is the abode of body, and the body is an abode for the individual soul (Jeev). This physical body was not here in the past, nor will it remain here for ever. But, the Atmaa is immortal. It neither takes birth nor dies. Atmaa only changes its bodies as you change your garments.
