My business idea - Feedback requested:)
So before trying to help out a friends business to no avail, I worked for Apple for 5 years.
While I was there I learned not only how Apple does things, but why they do them, and more importantly why they work.
I worked for the Apple Online Store in sales and was one of the top performing sales reps consistently throughout my entire tenure.
I worked my way into training, coaching, and management, and even spent a year copy editing for the internal communications team.
As a coach I listened to 100s if not 1000s of sales calls for reps in the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Singapore.
I contributed to the success and development of many people and felt a great sense of accomplishment teaching the things I had been taught to others.
I wrote sales training material for my group, and even helped develop a mentor program.
I'd like to take everything I've learned from my experience there and teach it to others.
The how, the why and the why it works.
I've thought about developing a sales coaching service based on what I learned, or some kind of service.
Where I struggle is finding the energy and organization to create everything needed in order to get my ideas in front of people and see if they have value. I believe they do, but I'd like the opportunity to see how beneficial they can be to others, outside of my old comfort zone.
my target audience would be individuals with great products or services that struggle with the sales aspect of their business, be it with underperforming teams, or an apprehensive business owner who has negative ideas about "sales".
Do you think this idea has any merit?
