Common Sales Management Problems
#SalesChats: Episode 39

The major issues that sales management face, include time, trying to respond to emails and communicate with both salespeople and upper management, and ensuring that there is sufficient time for training their sales team. Juggling all of these major issues, plus the minor issues, and day-to-day work responsibilities can be quite the struggle. Suzanne Paling discusses sales management problems in this #SalesChat, hosted by John Golden and Martha Neumeister.

Paling explains:

  • How to navigate between the sales team and upper management
  • Understanding the role of sales manager, and the differences between the salesperson job and sales manager job
  • The limited training that sales managers get, and how to overcome this limited training
  • Leadership’s influence on how successful the sales manager is, and how well they are trained
  • The circle of doom
  • How the sales manager functions as the greatest revenue multiplier in the organization
  • The importance of learning as a sales manager, including professional training, self training, and understanding the motivations of their sales people
  • Why sales managers should spend the vast majority of the time with their top sellers, and provide them special training
  • If you are entering a new company as a sales leader, ensure you do your research and understand the expectations of the job
  • Utilize coaching techniques, not telling techniques
  • Using assessment measures in order to critique salespeople, depersonalizes criticisms, and provides structure
