Part 1: Discussion question on Trends Impacting the Sales Profession
Over the past several years, business and society overall have seen changes that have significantly impact the sales profession. Some of those changes are technologically-based, such as e-commerce Web sites and smart cell phones with powerful voice and data capabilities. But there have been other types of changes, such as an increased emphasis on establishing an ongoing relationship with a customer, rather than simply making a sale. Describe three relevant current or future trends you envision, and describe how you think each trend will impact the sales profession.
Part 2: I need the following questions answered in 1 short paragraph
As the United States expanded in the nineteenth century, American literature became increasingly diverse, splintering into many voices, representing many experiences, regions, peoples, and viewpoints. Did the varying, sometimes contradictory nature of American literature at this time increase or diminish its strength? Why? Do you think this diversity in American literature whether resulting from different experiences, different geographic locations, or different ways of looking at life still exists? Cite specific examples from works you have read or personal experiences you have had to illustrate the points in your response.
