MAN HIJACKS EYGPTAIR TO CYPRUS BECAUSE OF A WOMAN

An Egyptian plane on a flight between Alexandria and Cairo was hijacked and forced to land in Cyprus by a man apparently distressed over a family matter.
          
After the EgyptAir plane landed at Larnaca airport, the hijacker released all the people onboard except four foreign passengers and the crew following negotiations, EgyptAir said.
About 60 people, including seven crew, had been onboard the Airbus 320, Egyptian and Cypriot officials said.
The pilot reported that the man was strapped with explosives, although this was not confirmed.
Citing security sources, Cypriot state media said that the motives of the hijacker appeared personal and he had asked to contact his ex-wife, who lives in Cyprus.
“It is not something which has to do with terrorism,” Cypriot President Nicos Anastasiades told reporters.
Asked if a woman was involved he said “There is always a woman involved.”
There was some confusion over the identity of the hijacker.
Egyptian state media named him as Ibrahim Samaha, an Egyptian, but gave no other details about him.
However, Gamal al-Omrawi, a deputy dean at Alexandria University, said that Samaha was a passenger on the plane and not the hijacker. He said he had spoken by phone to Samaha, who confirmed that he was one of the passengers who was released.
The Civil Aviation Ministry said the plane’s pilot, Omar al-Gammal, had informed authorities that he was threatened by a passenger wearing a suicide explosives belt who forced him to land in Larnaca.
A Cyprus Foreign Ministry official said he could not confirm the man was rigged with explosives. The hijacking occurred in Cyprus’s flight information region.
Witnesses said the hijacker threw a letter on the apron of the airport in Larnaca, written in Arabic, asking that it be delivered to his ex-wife, who is Cypriot.
Passengers on the plane included eight Britons and 10 Americans, three security sources at Alexandria airport said. The Dutch Foreign Ministry said a Dutchman was among the foreigners still onboard the aircraft.
Israel scrambled warplanes in its airspace as a precaution in response to the hijacking, according to an Israeli military source.

SALES 101: HOW TO BE A SUCCESSFUL SALESPERSON ESPECIALLY IF YOU THINK YOU CAN'T

Author: Erika Anderson for Forbes Magazine.

I’ve always had a pretty good relationship with the idea of being a salesperson.  For some reason, even from an early age, I had it in my head that sales was simply about finding people who wanted what I had to offer. So, for instance, selling Camp Fire Girls candy in grade school held no terrors for me: I’d go around and ask people if they wanted to buy it, and if not, I’d ask the next person.  I figured there was no harm in asking, even if they didn’t want it - and them not wanting it didn’t have anything to do with me; maybe they didn’t like candy, or were on a diet, or had already bought some from somebody else.

And actually, that’s pretty much how I sell today, 50 years later.  When I hear of someone who seems as though he or she might have a need for what my company does, I’ll set up a conversation with that person.  When we get together, I’ll listen to find out whether my belief is accurate – whether he or she might benefit from something Proteus offers.  If so, I explain the service or product I think they might find useful. I ask if they’re interested in exploring a possible fit between their need and our offer.  If not, I assume it’s because they 1) don’t see the need in the same way I do, or 2) they believe they have a better way of meeting that need that doesn’t involve Proteus.  I may be disappointed, especially if I see the need clearly, and don’t believe the person is going to be able to be successful in solving the problem without us. But I also know there are lots of other possible clients out there (and lots of wonderful current clients to support, as well), so I’m usually happy to move on. Next!

I recently read a wonderful little book, Dan Pink’s To Sell Is Human, that reinforced these positive ideas I’ve had about selling for all these years. Pink talks about selling as “moving people” to behave differently or think differently – and points out that in today’s world, even people who don’t think of themselves as salespeople are selling indirectly much of the time.  Two areas of endeavor he uses as examples throughout the book are the medical field – where patients need to be ‘sold’ on adopting healtheir habits or following courses of treatment, and education – where students need to be ‘sold’ on the idea that learning what’s put in front of them is going to be worth their while.  Pink talks about the importance, in this new world of selling, of entering into any “moving” conversation in a collaborative, listening-focused way, as a partner who is a problem-clarifier and problem-solver.

At the same time, reading Pink’s book also made it much clearer to me why most people don’t view sales in such a positive light – why they have a ‘cringe’ relationship with the idea of selling. Pink cites lots of great research showing that rather than seeing sales as a collaborative, mutually beneficial process of finding a fit between need and offer, as I’ve described above, people tend to see it as manipulative, pushy, inauthentic, slightly sleazy.  Sales, for most people, evokes images of being glad-handed and lied to by some untrustworthy used-car-salesman-type in a shiny suit and bad toupee.  No wonder people think they don’t like to sell!

The problem with holding on to that old, outmoded conception of selling is that almost all of us need to be able to sell.  If you define selling, as Pink does, as ‘the art of moving others,’ we’re selling ideas, opinions, and proposed courses of action every day – to our kids, our boss, our spouses, our PTA group, our employees. And for those of us who are entrepreneurs or freelancers, even more of our time is spent ‘moving others’ to see that fit between our business or ourselves and their need.

So it makes sense to shift our ideas about selling – and that means (many of you know this is favorite topic of mine) changing our self-talk.  Here’s a quick and simple exercise for doing just that:

1. Ask yourself: What words come to mind when I think of myself as a salesperson?

2. Listen to the response that arises inside your head:

    2a. If you find you’re thinking words like helpfulpartnerproblem-solverrelationship buildermutual benefit  - congratulations. You have the core mindset of a successful 21st century salesperson.

    2b. If your thoughts are running more along the lines of words like rejectionpushy,fakeannoyingunwanted,manipulativescary – I suggest you continue on to step 3.

3. What could you say to yourself that’s more positive and hopeful about the idea of you as a salesperson – yet still feels true to you?  I asked my husband (whose self-talk about selling is quite negative) and his response was, “I have a great product that some people will find useful. If people don’t want to buy it, it’s no reflection on me.” Great, simple, positive, accurate.

4. Once you’ve come up up with more supportive (yet still believable) self-talk, you’ll need to remind yourself to use it as a more accurate and helpful alternative whenever your old, unhelpful self-talk muscles its way toward the front of your brain.

Changing your mindset in this way is key to feeling differently – and then acting differently – about selling. And as selling starts to occupy a new place in your brain and emotions, you might feel comfortable enough to explore other ways to get better at it. And remember – this positive self-talk about selling will be hugely valuable to you whether your “product” is a great idea you want your boss to be open to considering; a proposal to your spouse about re-allocating household responsibilities; or the best car for the couple who have just walked into your showroom.

And if this whole area is interesting to you, here are two other articles to support your evolution as a new-style salesperson: The Unexpected Secret to Being a Great Salesperson, a post here on Forbes from earlier this year, and Sales Tips: 4Ways to Avoid Cold Calling, a post I wrote for the Salesforce blog.

Nigeria vs Economy: The Shepard Blames The Sheeps.

 Nigerian President, Buhari,
has stated, criticising previous governments for an over-reliance on crude revenues.
Buhari said OPEC had to “act together to save the situation”. According to him, countries, including Nigeria, “have to live by” market forces, ruling out a Nigerian withdrawal from the body. 
“OPEC as an organisation has to be mindful of economic conditions in each member country because that will influence that country’s ability to go along with OPEC decisions. 
“Nigeria, we were unable to diversify our economy, hence we are much more disadvantaged by the lower oil prices and OPEC may try to help us out but really, it’s basically our own fault,” he said.
