Overview

If you’re an executive in charge of salespeople, a sales team leader, a sales manager, or a salesperson, selling is more than just business; it’s life and death.

So how do you improve your performance and that of your sales team?

Leadership

Commissions and bonuses might get your salespeople working harder, but if they don’t have the latest ideas, tools, and training, it won’t matter.

The key to improving sales is in leading and training your people to excel. Sales teams, just like sports teams, need a good coach to reach their full potential. They need inspiration and motivation as well as the best tactics and lots of practice.
