Internship Success From Athens, Greece

The following is a recent success story from a student doing an internship
via the Hubbard College of Administration. The internship program enables students to gain real-life experience applying the materials they have studied to produce real-world results, making them a valuable asset in any organization.

My internship gave me more than I expected.

First of all I learned how to write programs and get them followed through to the end. This is very important as one needs to follow the steps that have been thought-out and put in the right order to accomplish anything. The help from Hubbard College on this was really appreciated as they guided me to create real operating programs that lead to results.

Through the action of getting other people to follow orders I found out how important it is to write programs and orders on a gradient and in their own sphere of reality. There were things that I believed other people knew and should apply easily, but I found out they really couldn’t and that one must cut the gradient to get a result.

I used standard Hubbard Administrative Tech in a successful company in the U.S. and also in an unsuccessful one in Greece and I got results at both.

Applying my program to the first business resulted in more order and coordination. Personnel learned what an org board is and their positions in it. This actually made them happier and more secure while at the same time, they had a healthy stat improvement.

Prior to this, I thought that only businesses that had problems needed me. Now I know this tech can and should be applied at all businesses, specially in successful ones, as they need real help to go on being successful.

That was a big change in my viewpoint.

In Greece I helped a company that was in liability by putting order in so they could get their sales up. My program got them out of apathy and working to sell and get their stats up to a healthy range. From this I learned that putting in ethics and applying some control results in finding the real treasure in any business: able personnel that can get it going again.

I had to take full responsibility for this company and overcome many obstacles but with the help of my apprenticeship supervisor I got over the difficulties and helped change their lives.

Their stats are going up, and more importantly, they are using Hubbard Administrative Tech.

Before, there was “no hope” — now they know they can make it no matter what: they know there is a solution.

I also now see how easily my country could get over its difficulties and rise again to the glory it deserves. Sane, ethical people with good intentions using Hubbard Administrative Technology and some positive control, is all it would take to reveal my country’s real treasure.

What I have gained from this application is certainty in Hubbard Administration Technology and the amazing results it can give in practically “reviving” the dead.

It is one thing to have the theory of a subject: it’s a totally different thing to be able to apply it in real life. The internship gives you the certainty you need for the standard application that gets results. I had great support from Hubbard College in successfully applying my program and the necessary orders despite being many, many miles away and in a chaotic business environment, as exists in Greece today.

I want to thank the Hubbard College team that helped me through this experience as it strengthened my intention to apply Hubbard Administrative Technology and so fulfill my dreams.

I want also to thank my brother Alex Alemis for his support and for introducing me to Hubbard College, and of course thanks to the man that is behind all this, L. Ron Hubbard, who spent his life giving us the tools to help each other do better in life.

I look forward to continuing my studies at Hubbard College and business people looking for real solutions should do the same, as the results are very fast.

Thank you.

With respect to the amazing job you are doing,

Kyriaki Alemi

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.

Effective Managers: Effective Students

Hello.  My name is Tiffany, and I just enrolled at HCA. My first course is called the Basic Study Manual.

j0236531I can’t remember ever using a dictionary so often.  I found out that there is so much more valuable information in using a dictionary properly, as opposed to quickly passing by the definition of a word.

By the process of clearing up the definition of a word, you’ll have a complete understanding of the word, and the concept of what you’re studying will be much more easier to remember and to use it in a correct place.

Sometimes we feel that we try our best in studying, but cannot gain so much result in the end. This course ends that frustration!  I can use the study skills learned in this course for my daily life and to do better in studying any subject in the future.

Master Consultant: Qualifications

My name is Hiro.  I just completed my Qualification Sectary mini hat for my Consulting Level II!

Yes!!! This course is basically about the function of the head of any qualification division in a company.  It trains you to ensure, as the head of thej0284915area, to establish and maintain that the staff members of the organization are producing whatever they supposed to produce and at the level of quality needed.  Before, I had some simple questions about the organization. What can I do with those people who don’t produce as much as they’re supposed to? Or, how to make every single employee in the organization wanting their products, so they’ll start producing more with a passion for what they do.

I didn’t know the answers for these questions. I knew that if the morale of the employees in the organization is high then they’ll produce very well, but I didn’t know how to make their morale high, or keep it high. This course was amazing in that it explained to me everything that I needed to know about area of qualifications.  I now know the anatomy and method of how to handle the above situations. Also, I know how to run a qualifications division and what its true purpose and functions are.

I became much more powerful and more cause as a future executive, because of this course.

Business Degree: Managing By Statistics

Hi, my name is Lex. I just finished a course called Management By Statistics at Hubbard College of Administration International.Moving up

It is incredible how this knowledge builds, one course on the other here at Hubbard College. Like the knowledge from the previous course, my confidence in business has done the same. This course, along with the last course I took, has given me the ability to manage my employees without false judgment. One of the most dreaded parts of management (mistakes in promotion and demotion of employees) has been solved for me. This misunderstanding I had is truly solved, as long as, I apply the tools I learned. I very much look forward to the next building block of knowledge and confidence I am sure to receive at HCA!

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.

Consultant Training: Basics of Organization

My name is Brandon, and today I completed a course called Company Basics One at Hubbard College.

CB056536If you look around at the majority of small companies or even the largest of companies on earth, you’ll find that the staff and executives all have something in common; they don’t know the basics of organizing.  This may seem to be a stiff statement at first, but just think about the executives who’s jobs are demanding of both their time and patience.  They are stressed and complain of “no time” and may even have disgruntled employees, and at their last wits end, either quit or endure arduously.

Every professional on earth would benefit from this course.  It teaches you the very simple fundamentals of organizing and how to implement order. It will revitalize that notion of long ago that you could have a great job and a great life with all the time you would ever need for the things you personally desire to create while being a successful part of the workaday world.

Business Degree: Management By Statistics

My name is Tommy Cummings.  I am from Utah and am studying at HCA en route to earning my Associate of Applied Science Degree in Business Management and Administration.  I just finished the course Management By Statistics.

This course has taught me how to measure what is done and expose what is not done. By knowing this, you are able to ascertain where you are as anBuildingorganization, see what you have done, and predict where you’ll be. The data in this course has given me confidence in my abilities to successfully manage and has given me the tools to achieve my goals.

Business Administration: Expand Your Organization

My name is Edwin Chou, and I just finished the Executive Leadership course at Hubbard College of Administration International.

j0236531This is a good course.  I now have a greater understanding of what it takes to become an executive.  Also, the course really showed me different points that I can currently improve on.  It was interesting to learn how to apply specific tools to make things go right despite bad conditions. The way to expand an organization is to have a good executive that is trained to delegate properly while having the ability to get the job done himself, if needed.
