Here’s my suggestion to you: try to take 15 minutes a day and focus on being able to find and evaluate top sales talent. If you want to be a leader, a sales manager, then you must take responsibility publicly for all failures and pass the accolades onto your team. Teams look for the manager to set the direction, monitor progress, take responsibility and help unclear blocks. 3. The I Can Do But Can’t Teach Sales manager; a great sales manager must be a great sales trainer. He or she must make sure quotas are being met, margins are in line, pipelines are full, salespersons are making their calls and individuals are realistically matched to their positions and territories. There is always something lost if you are just getting information from the sales team and surveys. There is an old proverb, “if at first you don’t succeed: try, try, try again.” As a sales rep, this saying should be engrained in your mind.

5. The Harping Sales Manager is the person who never upgrades their experience and knowledge of sales and is stuck in an old school mentality. A poor manager will have a low inquiry to sale conversion ratio. The headings on this sheet may read, Company (or individual), Potential Sale (in dollars), Possibility of Sale (in percentages), Contact Person, Last Contact Date, and Next Step. At the sales meeting, each person photocopies and hands out his or her sheet to the others in attendance. The sheet is broken into two different categories, one is titled Prospects and the other is titled Existing Clients. All this does is churn out sales reps causing a low retention rate and from the outside looking in, your clients and prospects don’t want to work with a company that can’t even keep employees or keep them happy.

It’s a guarantee you can’t hit that quota year after year just on your own abilities and time. The effective sales manager knows they have two quotas’ to hit each year: the fun quota and the sales quota.

7. The Grunter Sales Manager is the person who never listens to his reps and shows their lack of interest in many ways. With the weekly “cookbook” and “pipeline” sheets a sales manager will, over a defined period of time, be able to see who is, or has, the potential to produce, and who doesn’t. 10. The Numbers Guy Sales Manager is the person who tries to manage the rep by the Statistics but has no clue on how to interpret the numbers. At the same time, a sales manager must understand the big picture and profitability which means saying no to some of the sales team’s demands. And each sales person must be ready to report his or her results to everyone in the room (or on the conference call). They realize how they affect your desired result dynamically, and make adjustments in routines and tactics to assure consistent results.
