Sales management is a particularly difficult job as it is one of the few relationships in business where the manager often has to manage from a distance and only see their team once in a while. This in itself can cause motivation and morale issues within a sales team. At best when a sales manager is with their team the same problems often occur because the majority of managers are not practicing the same methods used by highly experienced managers.

The purpose of this course is to outline some best practice management techniques which will allow the sales manager to adopt a winning formula with their team. Whether managing at a distance or managing an internal team this course will demonstrate and allow the participant to practice techniques which will support them in developing the true worth of their teams.
