Recently I read a BNET blog (Nov. 3, 2008 Click here to view the BNET Blog) discussing the dumb mistakes sales managers make. It was very enlightening and at the same time I couldn't help but think having their best practices may be helpful...
There were 25 responses citing some dumb mistakes indeed, but how many of those same people are willing to share some best practices of Sales managers? Will you share some best practices of sales managers in your organization?
I'll get the ball rolling.
I had a sales manager that had a routine. Every day at the same time he would go from office to office and make contact with each sales professional and give them his undivided attention to address issues, answer questions and provide coaching. You could set your watch by his visits. Knowing we would have that time with him daily helped our team performance.
