Sales Management
When a group of sales executives was asked what was most important to improving sales performance, 88% answered, "making sales managers more effective," a finding consistent with a Sales Executive Council survey. At the same time, over 50% indicated their organizations were not preparing sales managers to lead effectively.
Given the sales manager's potential impact on performance, these companies are leaving money on the table in the form of smaller ROI for sales training, weak sales productivity, and higher turnover costs. Sales managers play a vital role in providing salespeople with the tools and knowledge to drive sustainable high performance.
