okay this is very far from the real point but is the jurassic world dominion trailer telling me that ellie sattler and alan grant are no longer together? they broke up? they’re no longer close and in each other’s lives? son of a fucking bitch

#laughs awkwardly #how dare you. do you understand how rare it is for me to root for a het couple??? how DARE you !!!!!! #there is already another couple that have the whole 'girl tells the guy to come back to main storyline' in the same trailer!!! #(not to mention in the previous movie. WITH THE SAME COUPLE) #it literally doesn't make any storytelling sense for ellie and alan not to still be together/married as a contrast to the main ship??? #movie franchise: somehow implies in any way shape or form that after the movie ends the characters all disperse into separate lives #me who is very normal about found families: this is bullshit. 0/10 story i hate it. no i'm not tearing up look away #EDIT: listen i know ellie and alan are fine as a friend dynamic that's not what i'm pressed about. it's the 'catching up' in the trailer #EDIT: that implies they haven't met in a while that gets to me. like why can't they still be hanging out?? i don't have abandonment issues ! #EDIT: but also in the og movie i genuinely appreciated that they felt like solid friends/partners first and couple second #EDIT: like they were just comfortable with each other without constantly talking about their relationship. and the trope where #EDIT: the guy starts out hating kids but then grows close to them is executed without any kind of romantic pressure from ellie #EDIT: or any insinuation that ellie and alan now plan to get married or have kids. it's just a subplot that alan has. the kids are just kids #EDIT: without being some kind of metaphor about men angsting about commitment or whatever. it was good dammit!! they were good!!! #EDIT 2: 'so what is the real point' all this nonsense about being 'out of control' 'subordinate to nature' is completely nonsensical #EDIT 2: the ISSUE is the ecological destruction that will be caused by multiple invasive species and the ripple effects across ecosystems #EDIT 2: [IF in fact the species invade successfully. which i understand for the sake of the movie yes of course they do] #EDIT 2: [but also like megafauna died out for a reason. being large takes too much energy to maintain so evolution downsized] #EDIT 2: [sorry this isn't important] #EDIT 2: NOT whether humans are still 'at the top of the food chain' cause bitch we never were. walk out into nature right now #EDIT 2: there already are many predators that can unalive humans anytime. to pose this as a dinosaurs vs. humans battle is just #EDIT 2: hilariously not understanding how the actual world and nature as it exists works. humans do not control nature that is the point? #EDIT 2: whatever. yeah i'll probably still watch the movie. i was gay for ellie sattler years ago and i will be again

Dear Mark: Olive Oil Followup

For today’s edition of Dear Mark, I’m answering questions from last week’s olive oil post. First, is there a way to identify real olive oil and distinguish it from fraudulent olive oil? Second, should EVOO be used when grilling food? Third, how can we know if our canned seafood is packed in real, actual olive oil and not some industrial seed swill? Fourth, is algae oil worth eating? And fifth, what about just eating whole olives? Finally, why not just eat beef fat, which is also relatively high in MUFA?

Let’s go:

I’ve read that some “olive oil” has canola or other oils mixed in, fraudulently. Is that still an issue, and is there any way to be sure (reliable brands or sources) that what you are buying is pure and authentic?

It’s still an issue.

It all started after a raid by Italian police discovered that many olive oil producers were adding chlorophyll to sunflower and soybean oil and passing it off as EVOO. Later, UC Davis conducted a study on popular brands of imported EVOO, finding that about 70% were adulterated with seed oils. Other studies have found similar results.

Find a brand you trust. Research a maker, whether it’s a local market or a specialty brand you find at the store.

There’s this master list of olive oils certified by the North American Olive Oil Association for quality and authenticity. Many are commonly available in grocery stores.

I like it drizzled over cottage cheese for lunch or brunch, topped with cracked pepper, yum!

Finally someone agrees! This is indeed the best way to consume cottage cheese, for those who don’t know. Use at least a teaspoon of pepper, as much as you can handle.

I typically use an EVOO spray on meats before searing on the grill. Could this be harmful with the flame on high?

I wouldn’t recommend EVOO for high heat or direct flame. Personally, I use an oil made for high heat cooking in that kind of situation.

Mark, How can one be assured that they’re packed in genuine EVOO? Is there some source/website that lists those that have been tested and verified? Call me a skeptic. If I’m Crown Prince, King Oscar, Starkist, or whoever, I’m buying massive quantities of olive oil for my fish packing operation. And the cheaper price gets my business. I’m not sending samples off to a lab to test if it’s authentic EVOO.

Good question. I can’t attest to any particular brand. It’s possible some adulterated oil could slip in, and I was unable to find any mention of it in the online literature.

If you’re concerned, drain the oil. Even if a half gram of omega-6 PUFA were to slip by, the actual fish in the can is rich enough in omega-3s that I wouldn’t worry.

For what it’s worth, I doubt something like Wild Planet sardines (what I generally buy) uses fake olive oil. Unless I’m including it specifically for a recipe, I usually pour the oil into a bowl for my dog to eat, since it’s good for her, too. (You can imagine how much she enjoys it….)  Her fur shows the benefit as well.

Terrific info, thank you! Can you do the same breakdown and analysis of algae oil? Please. I’m using ‘thrive’ brand. Thanks!

Algae oil is a good source of long chain omega-3s and has been shown to improve omega-3:omega-6 ratio in people and animals, a strong indication it “works.” Algae represents the “source” of DHA for most of the seafood we eat, in fact. Great way for vegans and vegetarians to get them.

Don’t use it for cooking. Omega-3 fats are very fragile in the presence of heat, unless protected by the

To what extent do you get the same benefits from just eating olives? I’m usually more inclined to do that… wondering if there’s any research on the health benefits?

Yep, olives are great. Love them. There isn’t really any research into olive consumption, and you’d have to get about two dozen olives to get a tablespoon worth of EVOO, but they’re bound to be good for you. Just account for the sodium intake.

Every time I see these claims about EVVO, I think: 1. EVOO is rich in MUFAs; so is BEEF FAT. 2. BEEF FAT is rich in SFAs; so is EVOO. 3. EVOO is rich in polyphenols. Does polyphenols show some improvement in healthspan and longevity in humans in a prospective study? 4. EVOO is a liquid fat. There are some studies showing that liquid fats increases intestinal permeability. OBS.: yes, I´m doing carnivore.

1. Agreed. Beef fat is rich in MUFAs, just like EVOO.

2. Beef fat is rich in SFA, but it’s a particular type of SFA (stearic acid) that turns into MUFA in the body. EVOO isn’t really rich in SFA, though it’s rich in the MUFA that stearic acid becomes.

3. Plant phytonutrients actually do have consistent inverse associations with mortality in humans. More phytonutrients, longer lifespan. However, this isn’t measuring cause and effect. It’s very possible that people who eat more polyphenols also do other types of healthy behaviors, like exercise regularly and avoid smoking, that definitely improve longevity.

4. If anything, MUFAs (the primary fat in liquid EVOO) along with omega-3s are protective against intestinal permeability. And let’s not forget that less intestinal permeability isn’t necessarily a good thing. Increased intestinal permeability can be physiological, or it can be pathogenic.

I get the carnivore thing. I’m not against it. Beef fat is great, too. But the evidence in favor of EVOO is quite robust. Definitely robust enough for my taste.

Is a Sales Enablement App the Cure for an Underperforming Sales Team?

Photo by rawpixel.com from Pexels

If your sales team is underperforming, sales enablement may be the solution. A sales enablement platform streamlines the sales process. However, sales enablement isn’t a catch-all solution. It can’t fix fundamental problems with your team members or management.

It’s important to look at the many internal factors that could be causing your sales team to underperform. You need to identify whether the problem lies with your processes or with even deeper issues. In this article, we look at some of the main problems that cause sales teams to underperform. We also ask whether a sales enablement platform can resolve these problems.

  RELATED ARTICLE: HOW TO USE SALES INCENTIVES TO LEVERAGE YOUR B2B MARKETING EFFORTS

  The Top Reasons Why a Sales Team Underperforms

There are a number of reasons why sales teams underperform. Some of these are easier to fix than others. The reason might be critical flaws with your business’s offering. Or maybe it’s a lack of incentive for salespeople or something else. The severity of the reasons will determine how you should address them and if sales enablement can play a part.

Why Sales Organizations Fail

The success of any sales organization is dependent on several factors. Issues with just one of these can cause sales teams to fail. Therefore, it’s critical that you have a solid foundation for your sales team to build on.

In an article for the Harvard Business Review, “Why Sales Organizations Fail,” Steve W. Martin outlines the four sales stages where failure can happen.

The important lesson here is that you need to make sure your organization as a whole is functioning properly. Further, you need to ensure that your processes are set up for success. What’s more, you must do this before you evaluate your sales team’s underperformance.

  Why Sales Teams Underperform

There are a number of reasons sales teams underperform. Some are directly related to the failure of the organization as a whole. Still others come down to management, team leads, and individual salespeople themselves.

1. Sales reps are not given the credit they deserve.

Some organizations view sales reps as being at the bottom of the food chain. In reality, however, your sales team plays a vital role. That is, they create business and keep the sales pipeline alive. Without sales, the company will fail.

Unfortunately, sales teams are often forgotten when praise is given in the boardroom. Their contributions aren’t even acknowledged at times. Moreover, some business owners believe that sales team members are expendable.

On the contrary, however, there are significant costs—in terms of time, money, and company morale—that accompany the hiring and training of new people.

2. There is no clear mission.

Selling more of X and even more of Z does not qualify as a mission. This is not a rallying cry that readies your sales team members to tackle the market.

Salespeople are human and they need purpose. That is, they need to have something bigger than themselves that they believe in. This helps them make that vital connection with their prospects. Having a clear vision gives your sales team pride in your business. If you don’t have a coherent mission statement that is unique to your business alone, your sales will be severely affected.

3. There is no standard definition of the term “qualified lead.”

There have been epic battles between marketing and sales teams as to what constitutes a qualified lead. Such disparities within your business aren’t beneficial to the business. When one team—or multiple teams—bring in seemingly qualified leads, the result is wasted time and resources. What ensues are unnecessary debate and conflict between colleagues and numerous lost leads. Salespeople, having failed to meet their targets, are the ones that pay the price. And it’s a vicious cycle, as no one addresses the real issues behind underperformance.

4. Poor compensation plans and weak incentives lead to low morale.

Lack of compensation for successfully closed deals can lead to lower morale and decreased productivity. What’s more, it can significantly affect employee turnover.

As a business, you should be offering your sales team a fair commission bonus for closed sales. Such rewards motivate a salesperson to perform. Plus, they also make them feel that they are contributing something important to the organization.

And, after all, they are. It’s only fair that you recognize and reward their contributions.

However, don’t underestimate the effect of other incentives. Consider different ways you can motivate your sales team that aren’t just monetary in nature.

  5. Weak people fill management and leadership roles.

As Jeff Pruitt, Chairman and CEO of Tallwave, puts it: “If your team isn’t selling, the first place to look is in the mirror. Do you have processes in place that put the customer first? Have you implemented a feedback system that gives performance reviews on a regular basis? Could you rattle off the key components to your follow-up strategy? If your sales team is disorganized, confused, and flying by the seat of their collective pants, it’s probably because there wasn’t a solid process in place to begin with.”

A sales team can only work with what they’re given. They must rely on the processes you have in place. If these aren’t working, it is not their responsibility to change them. Of course, salespeople who can recognize that processes don’t work, and who are proactive and intuitive enough to suggest new ways of working, should be rewarded. However, management must be able to acknowledge that change needs to take place.

  How Sales Enablement Can Help

Of course, the problems we’ve outlined above are not things that any tool can magically fix. These are fundamental issues with processes and set ways of working.

Sales enablement apps and tools streamline the sales process. They can increase sales. They can help you train new salespeople. And they can improve communication between teams and departments. However, they cannot define a qualified lead for your individual business or write your company mission statement for you.

On the other hand, if you have structured your organization well and are actively supporting your team to make more sales, but you aren’t getting results, sales enablement can help.

Below are some examples of how your team will benefit:

1. Quicker responses to leads’ requests

This may be a familiar situation: Your salesperson is away from his desk meeting a potential client and hoping to close the deal. Everything seems to be going smoothly and they’re about to shake hands. At the last moment, the prospect remembers something and requests more information. If your salesperson doesn’t have this information on hand and they have to start the infamous back and forth, it could delay, if not completely derail, the deal.

Sales enablement platforms allow you to store documents in the cloud for quick and easy retrieval when you need them. You can also save sales materials, such as an expected timeline or pricing information. This will allow you to save time and close deals faster. This way, you can give your potential client the information they ask for immediately. This will leave no excuses for not closing the deal.

2. Presenting information that is conducive to sales

Collateral is crucial for appealing to your prospects. This does not necessarily mean beautiful graphics and impressive numbers. Although these things can help, they may not be what actually works. With printed collateral, or even materials on laptops, this is difficult, if not impossible, to measure.

On the other hand, sales enablement apps give you insight into which materials have the biggest effect on closing deals. This will help you to know what will deliver results.

3. Adapting to last-minute changes

Let’s say your salesperson is waiting to meet a potential client. They notice an email sent, just minutes earlier, stating that a person from their prospect’s legal department will be joining the meeting. What’s more, this person has some questions.

Your salesperson enters panic mode. They can’t access the information quickly and easily, and they certainly can’t edit their presentation.

A sales enablement tool, such as a mobile presentation app, allows your sales team to retrieve such information and add it to their sales presentations. What could have been a deal breaker can easily turn into the one crucial thing that closes the deal. Not only could it clinch the sale, but your employee will also score points for being prepared for any eventuality. This is crucial for client satisfaction.

  Wrapping Things Up

If your sales team is underperforming, you should first evaluate your company processes. Are they robust enough to support sales? If your processes are sound, sales enablement could be the advantage you’re missing.
