Overview
The role of the contemporary sales manager is complex. It frequently involves a balancing act between pushing hard to achieve personal and team goals whilst also supporting, developing and coaching individual team members. In addition, the sales manager may also have their own sales target to achieve.
All of these differing elements will be covered in this comprehensive program designed to deliver the essential knowledge and skills required to succeed. You will be taken through the discipline of identifying individual and team targets, forecasting, planning and client allocations.
This includes navigating the sometimes difficult conversations with team members to negotiate objectives and targets. Equally important, the course will guide you through the strategies to coach and develop team members to give them the maximum opportunity to achieve their targets.
