I strongly believe that for a Sales Manager & his TEAM to be successful, there needs to be a strong business vision, strategy and values that link to the performance management process. As part of people management, he must plan, track and review the performance of his sales force together. He must conduct face to face review discussions. He has the responsibility of Developing and coaching the sales force. He provides thorough Management to ensure achievement of budgeted sales and profitability levels through total Customer Satisfaction as expressed in our Success Factors and local sales plans. He supports adherence to the companies way of doing business. Be a Role Model, Lead by example. Provide on the job training, development & motivation to all departmental employees and ensure good team working within all Sales areas. Show less
