ATTENTION: Sales manager has just been rated as one of the 50 best jobs in 2011. As the economy picks up, so do sales. Are you ready for the challenges?

"Can Your Sales Management Skills Take Your Company To the Next Level? Find Out What THE BEST Sales Managers Do That Makes Them Exceptional...
Even in This Struggling Economy."

Dear Sales Manager:

Being a sales manager is an extremely challenging position today, it's a tough job.

Whether you are a seasoned pro or a newly appointed sales manager you are likely feeling the pressure of the struggling economy and your sales team is being tested like never before.

Over the years, even in the best of times, I've often been amazed at how much responsibility is dumped on the shoulders of top sales managers and how companies often fail to provide the needed training to help them accomplish these tasks.

Many times what I've also seen are great salespeople thrust into the role of sales manager with no training or resources at all to help them succeed.

In today's challenging economic times, if you are going to survive -- let alone thrive as a sales manager, coasting along with the 'business as usual' approach to your job just isn't going to cut it any longer.

In fact, I'm booked for months out now by companies who are expecting more and more of their sales managers and teams BECAUSE of the economy.

They bring me in to help their sales departments pick up the pace, move the company forward, and implement industry best practices to give them the best chance to create more business and increase productivity.

Failure is not an option.

As a sales manager, not only do you have to meet all of your own quota's and goals, but you also have to guide, support, encourage, train, motivate and hold accountable your sales team to meet theirs.

American Airlines Flight #1417

There I was, flying to Las Vegas to do a two-day Sales Management training program when I strike up a conversation with the guy in the seat next to me, Keith...

"What kind of work do you do?" I ask him.

He replies, "I'm a sales manager" and then he proceeds to tell me about his company, his responsibilities, and some of his problems too.

After a while, he asks me, "What about you -- what kind of work do you do?" And I explain to him that "I coach and train salespeople and sales managers on how to increase sales, earn more money, have more fun, and how to do it all in less time."

He says, "You coach sales managers, man could I ever use a coach!"

I asked him, "What do you mean?" and he said, "One day I'm a very successful sale representative and the next day I'm a sales manager..."

He continues... "Hey, I wanted this job - it was a dream come true for me." Then, he goes on to explain how he was basically given a title and a whole new set of responsibilities but very little guidance or training on how to get it all done.

Keith is not unique - of course not all sales managers are top sales-people who get promoted into the management role, some are top-notch executives who have trained specifically to become managers, but many of them are just like Keith... promoted from within, from a sales position that they excelled at doing, into management.

However, it is very common for companies to provide little support or guidance to sales managers regardless of where they come from, how they got their job or how much experience they have as sales managers.

"Keith, as a sales manager, what are some of the biggest challenges you're dealing with right now?" I asked him.

He said, "You got an hour to hear them all?"

So, I listened and even took some notes while he was talking and here's a short list of just some of the things he needed help
with:

	Recruiting
	Interviewing
	Planning
	Time management
	Coaching
	Motivation
	Planning a dynamite sales meeting
	Strategic account plans
	Measuring performance
	Setting goals that get results
	Leadership
	Self confidence

I said, "That's quite a list."

Then he talked about his wife and his family life and how she told him that...

"You're always working longer hours, you're always stressed out, and you're always thinking about work."

All he could do was agree with her because she was right... but Keith loves his job and just wants to do it well.

Does any of this sound familiar to you?

Over the years I've trained over 4,000 sales managers... not only that, but for many years I was a sales manager myself, so I feel your pain.

Back then it was a tough and demanding job, today... it's even more challenging.

But let's face it, if you hope to move up the ladder of success, you need to be the best sales manager possible and once you show what you can do with your sales team, the future looks pretty bright.

Good sales managers are hard to find, great sales managers are solid gold and smart companies do everything they can to keep them and move them up the ladder.

"What Do Top Sales Managers Have That
Struggling Sales Managers Sometimes Lack?"

What I've discovered over my many years as a trainer is simply this... the one common missing element among struggling sales managers is knowledge.

KNOWING how to be a top sales manager is not something that most people can just figure out alone over years with trial and error.

Let's face it... your company isn't going to let you "figure it out" on their time with a trial and error approach, right?

So, how do you get the knowledge then?

Traditionally, you could do several things...

1. Go back to college or school and get specialized training

While this might be a good way to get management skills or learn how to be a top-notch sales manager, let's face it... it's very time consuming and impractical for most people to go back to school full time or even part time and earn a higher degree when they are already working full time and trying to manage their families too.

In fact, this approach often wastes time because so much of what you learn is NOT relevent to the task at hand - being a great sales manager.

College is good for degrees, but that doesn't mean you'll get the results you need to succeed as a top sales manager.

When you are expected to get results NOW... this may not be the best approach for your short or mid-term goals.

2. Seminars and Training Events

I offer seminars and training events myself and they are a great way to polish up your skills or catch up on technology or the latest and best practices.

Seminars and training events are also great for what I call "sharpening the axe" - in other words, building on your strengths and weaknesses so you can plan your learning and focus your course of action moving forward.

Seminars and events are great and they should be a part of your ongoing program of professional growth as a sales manager, but because these are usually only one to three day events, it's difficult to put everything into action that you learn quickly and because of time and budget restrictions (asking your company to have a training event each week or month might raise an eyebrow or two), seminars and training events are really limited to only a few times per year at best.

3. Read Books

Reading books, magazines, and other sales management, sales skills, or business publications is one of the keys that successful sales managers do constantly.

These keep you up to date on the latest advances in sales, management, business, economy, events, trends, etc. and are invaluable in helping you remain at the cutting edge of your field.

However, most books are very general in nature and magazines offer glimpses into solutions for you - but most publications are just not as specific as a course would be or as focused as a seminar or training event.

Definitely stay up to date and read, read, read to improve yourself as a person and your skills as a sales manager, but don't rely exclusively on books.

4. Trial and Error

As mentioned earlier... this is probably one of the best ways to learn anything in life, being a great sales manager included, however, your company may not agree. Do you really have the luxury of time and is your company going to tolerate your mistakes while you learn how to do your job? Likely not.

5. Coaching or Mentoring

While I offer coaching and mentoring and you can find others who also offer this service, it can be very cost prohibitive and time consuming.

In many cases, you need to actually travel to where the coach or mentor is located to get the training and although this one-on-one training is invaluable, finding an available, qualified sales manager coach or mentor isn't as easy as it may sound.

Availability is often very limited and you or your company need to have a budget set aside just for this training. For example, currently I am not even accepting any additional clients into my one-on-one coaching program and probably will not for the remainder of this year due to time constraints and current bookings.

"Sales Managers -- How to Solve Your
Biggest Problems Affordably and From
Your Own Computer in Just Minutes a Day."

So, combined all of the above methods can help you to be a top performing sales manager if you can find the time, energy, and resources to put them all into practice as you run your sales teams and do your job.

The truth is that what you really want, like Keith, is someone who can guide you through the most important tasks and responsibilities you have as a sales manager.

Also, having someone show you proven systems to put into place to help you do your job is a whole lot better than creating them from scratch alone.

Finally, you want this training affordably, and available on your own time so you can learn it when YOU are ready and when it's convenient for YOU.

Think of it as a course that is only geared toward your success based on the industry best practices and presented as your own, private, secret weapon... a silent coach who is there to help you do your job better than you could possibly do it alone without guidance or support.
