JUNE 7 : Mastering the sales mindset?  With Gopal Gera. 4-6pm

Learn the art of sales from the Expert on 7th June @BHIVE Residency Road  Startups in the B2B businesses are struggling to go beyond their first POC or first few clients.
The sales process is either never established and if it is, the sales team is unskilled to execute or both issues .

This is a series of meetups with covering various aspects of the sales process. The meetups are a practical & practitioner approach to sales. The entire series is aimed at equipping members to master the sales process.
The methodology is understanding core concepts, build in the meetup, apply in the market for a week, review feedback, learn a new concept, & repeat. Additionally, one could leverage the SaleS AddA sales community to learn, share and build on your network

Most founders understand that selling is the key to success. It’s important that founders sell before onboarding professionals .
The first challenge for most founders & rookies is the fear or mind block for “Selling / Sales”. Break this NOW!! Or it could mean days, months or sometimes years of not achieving full potential if one has not already failed .
Know your expert:
Gopal is sales leader, entrepreneur, & sales consultant. With over 15 years of sales experience, he has worked through the ranks of a rookie sales executive to leadership positions in the largest private financial institutions. Click to watch is sales video

1. What is “Sales 4 StartupS & RookieS”
Sales adda as a community attracted quite a few startups – that includes founders, sales heads, and a few times entire sales teams
The conversation for startups are different from the ones that one has sales professionals from more established organizations
2. What is the conversation?
Startups in the B2B businesses are struggling to go beyond their first POC or first few clients. The sales process is either never established and if it is, the sales team is unskilled to execute or both
The topics of conversation include, I am not a sales person I am scared to sell, I have a great product – Why are they not buying?, I don’t understand buyers?, How to make a cold call?, How to write an email?, How to negotiate?, How to close a sale? And so on
3. So who should attend?
Entrepreneurs
Founders
Sales teams from startup
Rookies 0 – 3 years of sales experience
4. Why Rookies?
Most startups we have encountered are founded by professionals from technology, operations and even finance. Most do not have any kind of exposure to selling and lack the basic selling skills like cold calling, emails, qualifying leads, meeting and so on.
Similar if not the same set of issues plague those entering the sales profession or wish to take up a sales profession. Any body with 0 – 3 years experience in sales
Therefore rookies
5. What is my take away? Information is available online, why should i invest time & $$?
Information about sales can be easily compiled online, the key to success is not information but execution. The series of meet-ups are designed to introduce concept, better understand the nuances of execution, short cuts, case discussions, role plays, and sharing / learn with or from a peer group. This kind of exercise best done offline in a group
The key though is “learn concept -> apply in market -> feedback next week -> relearn -> new topic -> apply in market -> cycle begins
5. Is this sales training?
No & yes
No, this is not a full fledged training program as one would conduct in a corporate environment. This is a meet-up with a bunch of peers with the intent of learning and sharing
These are a series of events that span across few weeks. One can pick and choose.
Yes, because the series of topics that are organized to complete a full sales cycle from cold calling to closure. If one attends all the meet-ups in a cycle, one has more covered the topics in a typical training program
7. Why every week?
Typical sales trainings are one or two days events. A whole lot of information is crammed in a short period. From experience of attending quite a few sales trainings and work shops, this is not an ideal format for startups & rookies
Sales is about execution. Learn a concept / skill, execute in the market, observe the feedback, share with peers, learn, modify learning and repeat. A significant part of the learning is share with peers, take their feedback and learn from them
8. What is this program not?
It’s not a “Go to Market” (GoM) strategy session. One assumes there’s a GoM in place

Series 1 Ep 4: Crafting your elevator pitch You’ve just bumped into a former client at the airport. After exchanging pleasantries, he asks you what your new company does. You open your mouth, and then pause. Where on earth do you start?

Episode 4 of SaleS4StartupS will help you craft a compelling elevator pitch for you and your business by taking you through the elements that help put it together.

Learn from the experts about Python on 28th June.

So, you’ve been programming in Python for sometime but are not sure if you’re using the language correctly.

Hello Bangalore,

Swift India Developer Community is organizing it’s first Bangalore chapter on this 15th of July 2017. This meet-up will happen at Bhive Co-Working space in residency road. We have got three amazing speakers for the meet-up.

——————————————————————————————————————–

Speaker 1

Topic: Swifty Persistence with GRDB

Abstract: There’re hundreds of ways to persist data on Apple’s platforms. These days, the most popular are probably CoreData and Realm. However, they don’t play particularly well with Swift and rely on “black magic” to work. They also often do way more than many apps need, but you always pay the cost in terms of complexity. GRDB is a thin Swifty wrapper over SQLite, which embraces SQLite. This talk goes into what GRDB is, a few ways to use it, and reasons to prefer it over CoreData, Realm, etc.

Bio: Gopal is a Technical Architect at Surya. Previously, he was an engineer on Apple’s iCloud team. He has been working with Swift since it was announced in 2014. His first interactions with iOS were in 2009 when he was a student at the University of Michigan in the CS program. He blogs occasionally athttp://gopalkri.com, and tweets fromhttps://twitter.com/gopalkri.

——————————————————————————————————————–

Speaker 2

Topic: Protocols and Swift

Abstract: Most modern languages have a way to deal with this problem. In Objective-C — and indeed, in Swift — we call them protocols. As a concept, protocols are like contracts. If a type conforms to a protocol, it has essentially signed a contract to implement the methods specified in that protocol. Let’s visit a unique problem of the two pure Swift types that want to talk to each other, we can use protocols so that they remain blissfully unaware of one another. All they care about is the protocol. Let’s look at a concrete, incredibly pedagogical example.

Workshop on 8th September at BHIVE on Machine learning.

Bangalore is buzzing with events on Data Science, Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence.
However most of these meetups and workshops use only black-box models. This is something like learning to drive without knowing the mechanics. In the context of Machine Learning, this is not enough when you are trying to solve non-standard problems. To solve non-standard problems you require a deeper understanding of the math behind Machine Learning. This three-part hands-on workshop series consists of short sessions to introduce and explain the math that drives Machine Learning.

This workshop  is brought to you by Devopedia.
It’s led by See Thru Data Analytics and Insights, a start-up that provides ML as a service to businesses. The workshop is best suited for beginners in Machine Learning or those not from statistical backgrounds. The workshop will help those who wish to switch to Machine Learning with confidence.

We will use Excel during the hands-on sessions. Each session will be focused and we will dive deep into a particular topic. You will learn by working on sample data. In the process, ML techniques that have been “mysterious” will become more intuitive to you. The topics are independent of one another; so even if you miss one session you will be able to follow the next session.
All three sessions are free. We had a good first session at BHIVE Residency Road. The second session will happen at the same venue.

Greetings and sharing with founders,startups looking to know more about smart hiring . 16th September , 5pm at Venturesity. Partnered with BHIVE workspace.

Hello, Bangalore! This quarter, we’re bringing the City Chapter Meetups to your city!

We’re kicking off a series of meetups in Namma Bengaluru where we aim to have focused conversations useful to the smart set of startuppers here. Come, participate, and be part of our cool community across Asia. Connect with our Tech in Asia community chapters thriving in Singapore, Hong Kong, Jakarta, Tokyo, Manila, and other cities. And meet our new TIA City Chapter Lead for Bangalore, Vijetha Shastry, a familiar figure in startup circles.

Our first meetup –  “3 Models of Smart Hiring: Straight from the Founders” – tackles an issue all startups face from the very outset: how to hire the best fit for a job, role, or project in a timely and affordable way.

We’re bringing together three entrepreneurs who have made a mark with three very different models for smart hiring. They will make you rethink how you hire or get hired, and also share their experiences and challenges in building startups for this space.

Here’s a brief introduction to each of them and their startups:

Nitesh Agrawal, Co-Founder at Indiez – IIT Bombay grad Nitesh has had an interesting journey from being one of the first techies at Ola to helping Housing build its product with data science. His startup Indiez solves a tech talent scarcity with a curated bunch of freelancers. Indiez will follow up on deliverables or payments, track projects to see if they will get done in time, and so on. Indiez recently raised US$500,000 in seed funding led by Haresh Chawla, Partner at True North (India Value Fund).

Guruprakash Sivabalan, Founder & CEO at Xobin – Guru has been an entrepreneur right from his days of doing computer science at SRM University, where he formed a team of 72 to build a search engine customized for the university’s requirements. Today his startup, Xobin solves a problem for companies using online tests for hiring – its AI-based Interact engine can detect unfair means used by candidates. Xobin was also selected for the accelerator program of Axilor, and also got funded under its scale-up program.

Subhendu Panigrahi, Co-Founder & CEO at Skillenza – When we first met Subhendu Panigrahi back in 2014, he told us that people called him the Chalta Firta LinkedIn – which roughly translates to a “perambulating LinkedIn.” His passion for networking made this IIT Kharagpur alumnus a natural fit for solving problems related to talent in the startup world. His startup began by filling the gap in skills between college education and industry requirements. Currently, it sets up challenges for techies to tackle and showcase their abilities better than a resume. Skillenza works with corporate clients to create challenges and build communities around talent.
