Sales Manager Training: Rule #1 Self Awareness
| |
| I have decided to write a series of Blogs on a sales manager named Joe. Joe is a district sales manager who could work in any industry and for any company. In fact, there are many Joe’s in all companies. Joe is just a shade away from being a great manager. But until he truly understands the fundamentals of changing behavior he will be an average Joe at best.
Joe is one of the members of a group learning session that I give to sales managers who have taken my course.
As part of the coaching process I ask for feedback from managers. I question how well they apply the concepts that they had learned and if they are seeing the benefits of the training
