A successful sales manager's job is to provide clear direction and support to his/her team that will enable them to excel and to reach their full potential. Sales managers often rise to this position from a successful career in sales. But, the skills required of a successful sales manager are quite different from the skills of a successful salesperson. This is the reason many top salespeople fail as sales managers.

After completing this highly interactive two-day program, participants will understand the responsibilities of a successful sales manager and how it differs from the role of a salesperson. Participants will explore key leadership skills that will help motivate their sales team to excellence
