"Securing Success: Extended Hours Approved for Brixton Town Store Following Initial Opposition" I'm thrilled to share a recent triumph acting as Licensing Agent for Brixton Town Store in London to secure extended operational hours, crucial for the sustainability of the business. Despite initial resistance from the Lambeth Licensing Authorities due to concerns about exceeding Framework Hours, we were granted the extra hours requested without the need for a Hearing. A Special Thanks to My Assembled Team: Dave Gair Ed Chaplin Gary Grant Their support was invaluable in addressing the authorities' concerns effectively, allowing us to obtain the license without the need for a formal hearing. This success not only demonstrates the power of collaboration but also reinforces our commitment to supporting local businesses in their growth endeavors. How do you choose the right team members for a challenging task? #LicensingSuccess #BusinessGrowth #TeamworkInAction #RetailInnovation #LondonBusiness

What if? https://lnkd.in/exgpdcmE Here's the basic premise: I asked AI to associate each character in Glengarry Glen Ross with a potential AI tool based on each of their personalities and this was the result: Shelly "The Machine" Levene (played by Jack Lemmon): AI Tool: Lead Scoring Tool: Like Shelly, this tool analyzes data to identify high-potential leads. It uses past performance and demographics to predict buyer behavior, providing valuable insights for closing deals. Ricky Roma (Al Pacino): AI Tool: Social Listening Tool: Similar to Ricky's charm and ability to read people, this tool monitors social media conversations and identifies potential customers based on their interests and needs. It allows Ricky to personalize his approach and build rapport quickly. James Lingk (Jonathan Price): AI Tool: Cold Calling Automation Tool: Lingk relies on volume and persistence, much like AI-powered cold calling tools that automatically dial numbers and deliver pre-recorded scripts. However, unlike Lingk, these tools can personalize messaging based on lead data for better results. Dave Moss (Ed Harris): AI Tool: Customer Relationship Management (CRM) System: As an experienced but struggling salesman, Dave could benefit from a CRM to organize leads, track interactions, and analyze past successes. This would help him strategize and close deals more efficiently. George Aaronow (Alan Arkin): AI Tool: Competitive Intelligence Tool: Like George, who uses unethical tactics to steal leads, this tool gathers information about competitors' strategies and pricing. However, ethical use involves learning from competitors, not stealing their tactics. John Williamson (Kevin Spacey): AI Tool: Motivational AI Assistant: Williamson's despair could be countered by an AI assistant that provides pep talks, tracks progress, and sets achievable goals. This could help him regain confidence and motivation. Blake (Alec Baldwin): AI Tool: Sales Performance Management Tool: This tool analyzes team performance, identifies strengths and weaknesses, and provides insights for coaching and improvement. While Blake uses harsh methods, this tool offers data-driven feedback for more effective training. Shelly Levene [second half] (Jack Lemmon): AI Tool: Lead Nurturing Tool: After his transformation, Shelly focuses on building relationships with potential customers. This tool automates personalized email sequences and sends relevant content to keep leads engaged until they're ready to buy.

Flxpoint knows how to have a kickoff. Custom throwback t's—upbeat presentations—and plenty of time for the team to unwind. Here is a quick highlight reel we put together for their team.

If you know New York City, you know there’s one thing about it that always stays the same - it is constantly changing. Old buildings come down and new ones climb out of holes in the ground. Waves of people come and go, even the ways we get around expand and contract. But through all this transformation, Mister Softee’s jingle somehow permanently marks the start of summer and a Nathan’s hot dog in Coney Island is only ever a subway ride away. Superbien hasn’t just called New York home for 5 years, we called Tom Scalabre captain of our ship till summer 2023. And since then, just like this miraculous place, Superbien New York has sailed into a new era of its own - informed by the past but reimagined for the future. We continue to embody the ingenuity and savvy that are central to the Superbien DNA but we are developing and expanding upon the practices that Superbien always upholds. Our female-led team is already bringing gusto, grit and grace to every project we take on, every pitch we present, and every day we step out into this ever-changing city with curiosity and eagerness. So eager in fact that the draw of the Hamptons, the Catskills or even a Brooklyn rooftop is no match for our desire to craft new, exciting work with you. Yes, you! We are ready, willing and able in these summer months to take new meetings, novel RFPs and projects big and small. But most importantly, we are ready to keep doing what Superbien has always done best - ignite engagement one frame at a time. So here’s to change, to New York and to the future - Superbien will meet you there. #creativestudio #newyorkcity #summer #newbeginnings #superbien
