Become an effective sales manager

Becoming an effective sales manager goes beyond achieving personal sales targets — it involves leading and working alongside a sales team to achieve collective targets. A study by RAIN Group found that sales associates are 63% more likely to perform well if they have an effective sales manager.

As a sales manager, individuals supervise and set the direction for the sales team. Success in achieving sales targets is dependent on having the right sales strategy and plan, as well as how well each member of the sales team is managed and communicated with.

Without the right training, sales managers can find it difficult to juggle the challenges of sales performance and leading a team. Some of these challenges include:

  • Poor communication within the team, leading to poor execution of sales and marketing processes
  • Uncertainty about the nature of the product or service
  • Difficulty identifying a target market
  • Failing to understand competitor strategies
  • Meeting revenue or sales targets
  • Creating a positive team culture that leverages each member’s strengths and weaknesses

Learn how to tackle these challenges and more with Entry Education’s online Sales Management Course. This course can benefit sales professionals aspiring to transition to a management position, client relationship managers, branch managers, as well as business development associates.
