Sourcing Analytics
It is easy to spend money, but hard to get the value. From 2007 to 2010, Apple made $27 billion from iPhone with a profit of $15.6 billion. Apple could not achieve this financial success without its global sourcing strategy. However, one of Apple’s key suppliers, Samsung Electronics, became a competitor and used its cost advantage to over-take Apple in the global market. Meanwhile, many new suppliers and products are emerging constantly. To continue the success, Apple must explore and select new suppliers that are capable, inexpensive and financially robust. The question is, how to do it right for this year? What Apple experienced is typical in practice, as sourcing poses huge risks despite its significant benefits, especially under the fast changing global economy and trade. Companies need to evaluate and select suppliers constantly and globally, and make frequent adjustment to their supply base. In this course, you will learn sourcing analytics which applies data analytics to supplier development and management. Specifically, you will learn supplier intelligence, bargaining power analysis, and supplier benchmarking, to explore and select the best suppliers meeting your company's needs.

B2B Sales Skills From Cold Lead Generation To Closing Sales
Build a highly-effective sales system from scratch, and make high-ticket sales to businesses, organizations, universities, and non-profits. You'll learn to get many sales leads (potential buyers), craft irresistible pitches that make them want to buy, and master the negotiation process in order to close the deals at maximum value. Convert cold calls and cold emails into successful sales after developing conversational techniques that build rapport and guide prospects toward saying yes. INSTRUCTOR'S TEACHING BACKGROUND With over 20 years of entrepreneurial experience, I've: Coached 1,000+ entrepreneurs in person Taught 1,000,000+ students Positively impacted millions of entrepreneurs worldwide Helped many people create 6 and 7-figure businesses in the process Dozens of bestselling courses And I would love to help you. INSTRUCTOR'S B2B SALES EXPERIENCE I wasn't formally trained in B2B sales. I had to figure it out from scratch because around 2015, I began to sell to companies. At first, I had no idea what I was doing, and it was a struggle during which I made many sales blunders, and lost many potential sales. But over time, I figured out how to perfect every part of the sales process including how to get high-ticket buyers to come to me already wanting to buy from me. Because I am a business owner, and I was doing all my sales, I also had to make my sales process incredibly efficient while still being effective at sales. I needed to sell more and also have time to manage the business. That is exactly what I'll teach you in this course, and by the end of the course, you'll have an optimized sales process that is efficient and effective. LEAD GENERATION FOR YOUR B2B SALES Think success in sales is all about being a natural salesperson? It's a myth. The real secret lies in attracting high-quality leads. If you're reaching out to prospects who are already eager to buy, your sales become effortless. In this course, I'll show you how to get high-quality leads by: 1) Getting leads who already want to buy your products to come to you. 2) Using lead-finding software that automates the process of looking for leads. And it’s less expensive than you would think. I believe knowing how to get constant leads is one of the main pillars to building a successful business. UNDERSTAND EXACTLY HOW TO GET QUALITY LEADS WHO ARE CLOSE TO BUYING You'll learn how to attract high-quality leads who are ready to buy by the time they contact you. Your future clients are out there and they are searching for you. Learn how to make them find you easily. I'll share real-world examples from successful sales operations, giving you strategies that work immediately. If you already have a business and apply what I teach, by the end of this course you will already have new clients, and this course will pay for itself multiple times over. LEARN B2B SALES SKILLS TO HAVE LEADS COME TO YOU Tired of spending countless hours reaching out to leads with low conversion rates? There's a better way. Attract Warm Leads Through SEO and Social Media: Alex will show you how to get leads coming to you, already ready to buy. Optimize Your Sales Funnel: Ensure that only high-converting leads reach out, increasing your sales win rate and reducing frustration. INSIDE SALES VS. OUTSIDE SALES Learn the difference between inside sales and outside sales. Inside Sales: Your sales staff works remotely or from your office, focusing on cold emailing, cold calling, and online lead generation strategies. Outside Sales: Your sales team visits client offices, conducting face-to-face meetings to close deals. Inside sales are great for scaling with remote strategies like cold emailing and calling, while outside sales excel at building trust and closing high-ticket deals through in-person meetings. MASTER INBOUND MARKETING FOR COMPLETE SUCCESS Inbound marketing sounds similar to inside sales, but it's a different term. Inbound marketing: Attract clients by having clients find your business, so they're already interested when they contact you. Outbound marketing: Your sales team reaches out to potential clients, initiating conversations and building interest. Most businesses only focus on one type of sales, missing out on huge opportunities. By learning both, you’ll have a balanced strategy that works for any business, giving you more leads, more conversions, and more growth. REMOTE SALES SKILLS With face-to-face sales decreasing, mastering remote sales is essential. Create a trustworthy virtual presence: We'll guide you through setting up a professional background that feels real and trustworthy. Lead effective remote sales calls: Get scripts and strategies to ensure your calls go smoothly and close deals. Adapt to client preferences: If prospects prefer audio-only calls, you'll learn how to leverage your remote sales skills to build rapport and make the sale. Remote sales are the way forward, and knowing how to do them right means you can reach clients anywhere without missing a beat. You’ll learn how to build trust, adapt to what clients prefer, and confidently close deals—all while working virtually. TYPES OF LARGE BUSINESSES FOR WHICH YOU CAN DO B2B SALES A significant part of this course focuses on landing big, high-ticket clients who can pay premium prices. You’ll learn essential sales tactics that have helped me and my students do this on a consistent basis: Write Engaging Business Proposals: Learn how to craft proposals that clients actually read and appreciate. Conduct Sales Calls That Lead to Closures: Develop strategies for effective communication that result in closed deals. Implement Account-Based Marketing (ABM): Use targeted marketing strategies to win big contracts. These tactics will enable you to do B2B sales to Fortune 500 companies, universities, the military, and other large organizations, winning substantial contracts. Just imagine what landing this type of deals will mean for your business and for your life. TYPES OF SMALL BUSINESSES FOR WHICH YOU CAN DO B2B SALES This course also covers B2B sales strategies for small and midsize businesses. You’ll learn strategies that involve: Selling to local businesses: Dentists, cleaners, restaurants, gyms, stores, and many more. Adapting your approach: Tailor your sales techniques to fit the needs of smaller businesses. Learning to sell to small and midsize businesses provides stability because these clients often have consistent needs and long-term potential for repeat sales. By mastering how to adapt your approach to their unique challenges, you’ll build steady relationships and a reliable income stream. B2B SALES MADE EASY—NO EXPERIENCE NEEDED You don’t need a background in sales, a “gift of gab,” or flashy techniques to succeed here. This course is designed to make sales feel natural, not pushy, by teaching you how to focus on solving real problems for your clients. You’ll learn how to approach B2B sales with confidence, even if it feels intimidating now. These skills work for any business, whether you’re running one already or just getting started. In fact, even if you don’t have a business yet, this course will give you the tools and strategies to launch one and make it successful. Sales doesn’t have to feel awkward or forced—it’s much more about creating value and helping people, and I’ll show you how to do it step by step. Invest in your future. Enroll now.

Indigenous Religions & Ecology
At first glance the fields of religion and ecology may seem and unlikely pairing, but a deeper consideration reveals the two have a great deal to contribute to one another and are indeed inextricably linked. Religions recognize the unity and interdependence of humans with nature. Ecological sciences affirm this deep interconnection with the natural world. This partnership can inspire work for the wellbeing of the Earth community There is a need for broader literacy and deeper knowledge of the world’s religions and their ecological contributions. This specialization, "Religions and Ecology: Restoring the Earth Community", contributes such a perspective. Each course celebrates the vitality of religiously-informed action for the Earth and recognizes the longstanding contributions of Indigenous peoples in offering visions and practices for ecological flourishing. This is course 2 of 5 in the "Religions and Ecology: Restoring the Earth Community" specialization that focuses on the ecological dimensions of religious traditions throughout the world. The course is designed as a gateway to the significant contributions of Indigenous peoples of Africa, Asia, the Americas, and Pacific Regions for environmental understanding. The diversity of Indigenous communities around the planet makes selective coverage necessary, but shared patterns of resilience manifest themselves worldwide. So much has emerged in the last several decades in understanding traditional environmental knowledge, as you will see. This course is for lifelong learners curious to know more about world religions and ecology, environmental professionals eager to deepen the discourse of environmental protection and conservation, those working with non-profit organizations and NGOs on issues of ecological justice, and religion leaders and laity who wish to know how they can contribute to interreligious dialogue on environmental projects.

Sacred Texts in Dialogue: Exploring the Bible and the Qur'an
From the University of Notre Dame’s Department of Theology–ranked as the world’s best theology, divinity, and religious studies program–Professor Gabriel Said Reynolds invites learners into an exploration of two of the world’s most influential sacred texts. The Bible and the Qur’an have much in common: both books speak of Adam, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Mary. Both books describe God’s mercy and God’s justice. In other ways, however, they differ sharply. The Qur’an insists that God has sent a new prophet: Muhammad. It also criticizes the teaching, and the behavior, of Jews and Christians. In Sacred Texts in Dialogue, we will explore the common points, and stark differences, between the Bible and the Qur’an. Sacred Texts in Dialogue assumes no previous knowledge of the Bible or the Qur’an. Its approach is academic: students will learn about the world in which the Bible developed (both the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament and the New Testament), and the world in which the Qur’an developed centuries later. At the same time, learners will discover the place that each scripture has in the religious life of believers. We will explore the intense devotion that believers have to the Bible and the Qur’an, and see how that devotion shapes society, religion, and politics in our world today. Upon the successful completion of this program, the participant will receive a document certifying that the participant completed the program. The document will not qualify as an academic credential, and the recipient will not earn any academic credits [or receive a transcript] from the University of Notre Dame in connection with the program. Participants in the program are not students at the University of Notre Dame, and completion of the program does not qualify any participant for status as an alumnus of the University of Notre Dame.

Program Management Fundamentals: Driving Strategic Change
Programs fail before they start, and there is a good reason for that. The relationships amongst portfolios, programs, and projects are not understood well nor is the role of programs in achieving change aspirations. Today nearly 70% of Digital Transformation programs fail and the reasons seem to be addressed as a guessing game; The likelihood of being in the 30% successful bucket hinges on the leadership qualities of the program team and the clear program vision and purpose supported by value-driven roadmaps. In this course, you will learn key program management principles, leadership skills, roles, mechanics, and supporting cultural attributes. This will provide you, over four weeks, the foundational understanding of the program management and program lifecycle role in executing strategies, successfully driving initiatives, developing an exploring mindset, and uncovering program management fundamental templates and toolsets, such as the Work Breakdown Structure, and skill sets, such as customer focus, applied in the real world. Syllabus Week 1: The first week starts with understanding the value of programs in the delivery of charters’ strategic outcomes from individual projects with excellence. A case example, coupled with a focus on the role of the conductor, will be used in learning how to drive and tailor the delivery of programs to achieve speed and quality of decisions and simulate complexity for better quality customer-centered solutions and outputs. Week 2: The second week explores the future changemakers and how world organizations use change management in achieving strategic results from related projects, and how change management and excellence models cover the gaps leaders miss when they tackle change programs such as digital transformation or new product introductions. The week also covers insights shared in PMWJ publication on the value of integrated decision-making and a model of digital transformation that combines culture, systems, and people attributes. Week 3: The third week gets into the importance of the role of the program sponsor as the driver for the big picture and the clear mission of the PMO. Program management needs will be best uncovered with the application of tiers of stakeholders in organizing a program’s focus. Connected program goals, project interdependencies, and the developed mindset and discipline needed for program leaders to think again for a change, will directly link to achieving business objectives. Week 4: The last week pivots to look at how getting to an end-2-end joint vision and clear strategic goals can inspire focus and commitment to the strategic plan and achieving program value. The program management office builds on the principles and methodologies of the project management institute. Successful programs will rely not only on effective cost management but also on how empathy and human connection are critical ingredients to the integrated program way of working, and the course finishes with tips for context validation’s role in programs success.
