Sales Managers
Sales managers require a unique skill set to effectively lead their teams. These skills differ from those of sales professionals and leaders in other departments. The ability to lead a sales team to consistently meet targets – weekly, monthly, quarterly and annually – requires regular meeting cadences, designed to:
- SET – clearly define expectations/KPIs related to sales results and activity that drives results
- TRACK – regularly track activity and progress and identify gaps in achieving results
- ACT – coach to the required skills, behaviours and activities that deliver the desired results
