Sales pros know that we are in the midst of one of the most turbulent and competitive periods in the history of selling. There are more players in the game, and the game is far mole complex. Customers want innovation. They want custom-made solutions to their problems, and they want them now. The risks are greater, but so are the opportunities and rewards. The top salespeople—the people Larry Wilson quotes and profiles in this book—know this. They’ve changed the game of selling, and they have become very successful doing it. They know they have to be leaders within their own organizations, and they know that when it comes to their customers, the strategy of the future is cooperation and teamwork, not confrontation. In Changing the Game, Larry Wilson draws on his thirty years of experience as a thinker and innovator in selling. He was founder of the Wilson Learning Corporation, one of the largest sales training organizations in the world, and coauthor of the business bestseller The One-Minute Salesperson with Dr. Spencer Johnson. His latest venture, the Pecos River Learning Center in Santa Fe, New Mexico, is dedicated to helping corporations and the individuals who work for them create the powerful teams that will be the keys to future business success. Changing the Game is Larry Wilson’s latest and boldest thinking about the future of selling—a future that is as close as tomorrow’s first sales call.

Accompanying each account are photographs illustrating typical adults and variations and distribution maps for the eastern U.S. and the United States as a whole. Given that a high percentage of the world’s species of salamanders live in the Southeast and Northeast and the scientific and popular concern for the worldwide decline in amphibian populations in general, Salamanders of the Eastern United States will appeal to people of all ages and levels of knowledge interested in natural history and conservation. The guide will help foster the growing interest in salamanders as well as cultivate a desire to protect and conserve these fascinating amphibians and their habitats.

In high-profile investigations, when the suspect pool is very large, resources are unduly strained unless the pool can be narrowed down to the most likely offenders. The Persons of Interest Priority Assessment Tool (POIPAT) provides an objective and consistent means of establishing a priority ranking of suspects or persons of interest in any investigation. Created and used correctly, the tool can determine if any suspect/POI should be considered a high, medium, or low investigative priority, saving time and resources and potentially saving additional victims. Criminal Major Case Management: Persons of Interest Priority Assessment Tool (POIPAT) describes how to set up a POIPAT system for any investigation where there are numerous POIs and limited resources. Using the unsolved Jack the Ripper mystery as a sample case study, it walks readers through the steps of creating and using the POIPAT system. The book begins by providing an overview of offender profiling and the basic considerations for developing elements for a POIPAT. It explains the Element Weighting Chart (EWC) and discusses how many points each element should be weighted based on its level of importance. The author describes how to determine what point totals constitute a high, medium, or low priority so that police managers can know how best to direct their resources. He also discusses tracking how POIs are eliminated through an elimination coding system, thereby avoiding potential duplication and allowing investigators to hone in on the person most likely to have committed the crime.Finally, the book uses the POIPAT system to draw conclusions about some of the best-known suspects who were most likely to have been the real Jack the Ripper. Seeing how the technique is used in a real case, investigators will discover how to effectively create unique POIPATs for their own cases. The downloadable resources contain a template that can be modified for any type of investigation and a number of additional tools and guides.
