But all these companies have one thing in common … the need for sales managers who can lead, hire, train, drive the business, evaluate performance, and create an environment conducive for success.

During the first three months on the job, it’s not uncommon to find new sales managers running in circles, making wrong turns and even getting lost. It can take three months just to get acclimated; three more to become semi-proficient; and longer yet to succeed … consistently.

But if you or someone in your company is a leader, someone who revels in finding talented people and convincing them to come to work for your company, in training and coaching rookies and veterans alike, in driving individuals to succeed by bringing out the best in each of them, and in recognizing excellence while stamping out mediocrity … Welcome to Sales Management is a must read.
