SALES MANAGEMENT
Sales Management Challenges from Corporate Structure
Most of the Sales Managers we speak with often say that they feel like 'the meat in the sandwich';
We'll show this to you in more detail when we meet, but traditional organisational thinking sabotages the fundamentals of effective Sales Management. To start with, we offer a simple, successful solution to this problem. What next?

The 'Salesperson to Sales Manager' Challenges
One common situation in sales teams is a top-performing salesperson being promoted to Sales Manager. The benefits of internal promotion notwithstanding, this situation frequently creates one or more challenges:
- You lose the promoted salesperson's sales productivity
- Other salespeople resent the promotion if it isn't transparent
- Promoted salesperson's income remains static ( or may even decline )
- Many salespeople have no management knowledge / skills
- Many salespeople haven't experienced more than one management style
- Promoted salesperson may believe that what 'worked' for him / her will work for everybody
- Salesperson goes instantly from 'managing' one person's sales to managing a whole team's sales ( often overwhelming )
- If it doesn't work out, promoted salesperson usually leaves
We offer a range of strategies and techniques to address this situation:
- Firstly, to manage salespeople's expectations
- Secondly, to guide you in assessing a salesperson's management potential and;
- Thirdly, to plan and execute the optimum sales-to-management transition
