Sales Management Skills
The challenges associated with managing a sales force are very different from those in other management positions. Sales teams bring a range of unique issues that require a special skill set to deal with. This course deals with those issues and shows you how to manage your team, even though they may be working remotely.
Course Overview
On the course you will learn how to apply the principles of leadership to Sales Management and have an opportunity to understand and adapt your own style. We will take you through the principles of motivation and show you ways to galvanize the team that can complement any financial incentives you offer. In the afternoon we will show you how to recognize good and poor performance and how to ensure your team performs at its peak.
This is a one day course that can be delivered in house (and customized to the needs of your business) or that is available on an open course basis from time to time.
