"The management training we took at the Hubbard College has turned out to be a real lifesaver for us. Soon after our training we began applying it and the business flooded in. Anyone can have a successful business if they apply what they learn at the College. The management technology is simple, easy and fun, not to mention financially rewarding.""

Business Management, Importance of Sales

My name is Jack.  I’m studying to earn my business degree at Hubbard College of Administration International.  I just finished the Sales course.

j0440391In this modern sociality, sales is one of the big subjects in the business world.  Simply look at how many books in this field sit on shelves of area bookstores. I had been working in my parent’s company for some years.  In doing so, I realized that I need to improve my sales skills.  I read a lot of different sales books and attended a lot of different sales seminars. They did help, but they are either too much “theory “or “incomplete.”

In this sales course, I learned a lot of different sales technology, and was able to drill each of them.  This is a great technology to live with!  The course is well designed, as it has you read some theory first, and then you drill with it until you can use what you’ve studied.

During the course, I realized that there are some “dos and don’ts” and “musts” in the field of sales.  Now, when looking back on my pervious experiences, I see that I violated these points, and that is the reason why I lost sales.

I shared the wins I had on this course with my mother.  I specifically went over with her the correct way to deal with one kind of prospect who likes to check around and buy from the lowest price or the “best deal.”  My mom was very happy to find out that there is actually a technology for dealing with such prospects.

I feel that I have more confidence and ability to handle the customer to ultimately increase sales.  Thanks to everyone who helped me with this course.

Associate Degree: Practical Experience

My name is Josh.  I’m a degree student at HCA, and I just completed the Survey apprenticeship.

j0283063Surveying can be seen so often.  Most companies are after the same thing; what are our customers thinking and saying?I think we’ve al done a survey for someone before wether at the mall, at home on the phone, etc.  I remember taking one once.   The surveyor told me that he was collecting the opinions from people who had been to their shops. He wanted to know why did people choose their product rather than others’.

The survey questions didn’t really get valid opinions, because the questions weren’t created properly.  This course teaches the key pints of surveying.  It elaborates how to create valid survey questions, who should you ask them and how to use survey results for different activities such as PR campaign.  This course gave me the confidence to get valuable data from the public and use it to help a business.

Business Degree, Organization For Production

My name is Saleem.  I finished the Basic Organization apprenticeship as part of earning my business management degree.

This apprenticeship is great for anyone who wants to bring sanity and organization to his or her company. I was most impressed with the way itComm filingbrought the theory of organization to reality, and instead of just having it in your head, you can have it in plain sight for everyone to see!

Done properly, the tools of organization help you create the proper products that you want to produce and what should be produced by every staff member in the company, whether the company is composed of 3 or 50 staff members.

To tell you the truth, these tools are fundamental for any organization to turn success into a daily achievement.

Associate Degree: Experience=Certainty

My name is Brad.  I completed the How to Get Along With Others course at HCA, as a requirement in earning my business management degree.

j0236531I continued to be surprised with the “light bulb” experiences I have. I keep learning things that I thought I already knew. The principles taught in this course are spot on! The most important thing in my life is my relationships with others, and I’m confident that those relationships will improve, as I apply what I have learned. In fact, they already have!

Master Consultant: Fundamental Guidelines

Hi, my name is Stella Ou. I am from Taiwan and currently studying to become a Master Consultant at Hubbard College of Administration International.  I’ve just completed the course How To Expand Your Company By Making Planning Become An Actuality.

Managing a company is not a simple task, but using the right tools will indeed make your life easier.  This course teaches you the fundamental guidelines of how to write up programs and projects to help expand your business or just simply to execute a project.Pieces of the puzzle

Often times we are stuck with the idea that we have to create a new system or set of rules for the staff and discard the old ones to make things work.  Sometimes, the new system does work, but often it doesn’t.  In fact, it may just confuse them resulting in even lower production.  Good planning then comes into play: what needs to be kept, eradicated or combined with the old.  It is vital to have a well written plan and most important of all, keep it simple.   The simpler the better!  This is what an executive should do.  Kick off all those big words, hard to understand ideas or mumble jumbles that others may not understand.  What they’ll understand is a simple and straightforward plan that they can get their hands on and make it happen for you.

Master Consultant: Secrets of an Executive

Hi, this is Stella Ou. I am from Taiwan and currently studying to become a Master Consultant at Hubbard College of Administration International.  I’ve just completed the course Executive Tools.

An executive is someone who is capable and able to control and manage his job well.  This is the course that certainly teaches you all secrets en route to anj0443099efficient and effective executive.   You’ll never fail to be an executive if you follow exactly what this course teaches; all the planning, setting targets, how to handle upset situations, how to deal with problematic people and even how to systematically file your folders.

Funny thing is that, many executives don’t even pay any attention to any of these minimal details.  Many believe that it’s the staff’s innate ability to have everything ready and in a presentable manner when in fact the executive himself first has to know all these minimal details.  Once you grasp the essence of management, managing becomes the easiest job in the world for you!

Associate Degree: Targets Are Key

I am Wesley Kuo, a Taiwanese student from Taipei on the associate degree program at Hubbard College of Administration (HCA), Los Angeles, CA. I just completed the apprenticeship “How To Expand Your Company By Making Planning Become An Actuality.”

j0283537This apprenticeship was great!  I made a plan and proposal for a company that wanted some marketing consultation done. I outlined the plan, which consisted of major targets, primary targets, vital targets, conditional targets, operating targets and production targets. I put together this plan in a way that it could easily be run without me there.  This is exactly what has occurred, as the company will soon complete it!

Master Consultant: Intention=Productivity

Hi, my name is Stella. I’m from Taiwan and am studying to become a certified Master Consultant at Hubbard College.  I have just completed the course “How To Get Things Done.”

Moving upIntention, Intention, Intention!!

This is what you need in order to get things done.

How often are we stuck on something, and we just can’t seem to move on?  How often do you want others to help you get something done, but they never seem to be able to?   Lack of intention is what causes these unfinished tasks.   The drills in the course are so useful and so very easy to adopt.  They are very powerful tools to use.  These tools enable you to be even more efficient on a daily basis when you are given orders or give orders to and from people around us.

Each drill handles one particular situation.  For example, one drill has you confront the people and objects you’re having trouble with at work.  Another addresses how to relay your order to other departments when everyone is occupied.  One more addresses how to stop someone from distracting an order.  These are the common problems we encounter at any given time in our workforce.   Knowing this tech will indeed help boost your efficiency, and most importantly, save time.

Master Consultant: Communication Is Vital

Hi, my name is Stella. I’m from Taiwan and am studying to become a certified Master Consultant at Hubbard College.  I have just completed the course “Improving Business Through Communication.”

j0202073This course is fun and interesting especially the first few drills, which are more difficult, but rewarding to pass through.  Now I know I’m able to confront the person before me on any occasion, place and time.  These drills will help you flatten any “buttons” you may have about the considerations, barriers, or stops clients will give you.  It actually was surprising how little effort it took to accomplish this, because the drills are setup with precision and relevancy.  Upon finishing, I’m calmer, more stable and am more patient.
