Resist the Interpretation Addiction
Sometimes we adopt a story and unknowingly our emotions get swept up in it. And 99% of the time we don’t really question or inquire into the story we create. We treat our story as what actually happened. The problem, of course, is that the story influences, in part, the action you take in subsequent events. This article is about identifying the stories you may have created, working around them and managing them.

Sales Management and Leadership – They aren’t the same!©
Too often we think that Management and Leadership are synonomous terms, but they aren't. And senior management is repeatedly disappointed as a result. These are two different functions that are needed, but they require separate skill based training. The results can be fantastic for the company that recognizes the importance of both and prepares their managers.
Sales Training for Senior Manager Performance Improvement
Sales training courses for senior managers can train, educate and motivate senior sales managers to get their sales force to surpass the sales goals of the company. Advanced sales training for senior sales managers can turn a great senior sales manager into an excellent sales team leader.

The C Factor!
Assembling a 'dream team' sales force is not as difficult as you may first think. I've known of businesses reaching great heights through the salesmanship of only a few sales-guns! Before creating a 'dream team' you need to have at least one exceptional salesperson you can model. Someone has to go there first! Whether this person is the company founder, (if sales savvy,) or a senior leader, there must be a working best-practice sales-process you can model and replicate. Once you have a high performing salesperson to model; their core characteristics, behaviours, and activities, then form the blueprint (DNA) of your 'dream team'. Keeping in-mind, that it's ok to have varying personalities in the same team, this enables your team to demonstrate versatility and engage a diverse customer base. You don't need to 'literally' clone sales

Hail to the Chief - Strategies for Communicating with the C Level and Beyond
When you launch a new initiative with your team, do you use the same presentation you used when you talked to the management team? Don't! Different levels of the organization want and need different information. Giving the CEO all the details you need to pass along to your team won't get you invited back to the management table anytime soon.

5 Steps to Ensure Consistency in the Management of Projects
Getting consistent results with project delivery requires the consistent use of project management methods and tools by every project team in the organization. Establishing consistency requires proper planning and effort by senior management and/or PMOs.
Profile Customers to Manage Opportunities
Customer Profiles can be used in conjunction with Key Account Plans to strategize and report on revenue opportunities with senior management. Additionally, these tools can be further leveraged to internally communicate target customers for training purposes. The equivalent of this tool for external uses is a Case Study. Use Demand Metric’s Customer Profile Template to more effectively manage sales opportunities by providing a simple reporting tool for senior sales management.
Developing Your Management Team
Your management team must have an edge. They must be courageous enough to take risk and have an unrelenting readiness to act. Popularity is not a requirement but the ability to generate respect from the employees is without a doubt one of the most critical attributes. They must be relentless in their efforts, unconscious about personal sacrifice of their time and the willingness to go beyond normal expectations. Tough decisions are commonplace; uncharted territories will be the norm. Honesty and impeccable character is a must. Being decisive, doing the right thing, setting clear objectives, motivating and inspiring employees and creating a sense of urgency are challenges that must be met by all members of the management team. Every single member of your management team has to make a difference.
Classes to Motivate and Manage a Team:
Team management courses will focus on skills to help the team building. In all team building, training seminars, managers need to develop a course of team dynamics and also learn how to use the dynamics of their team as a tool to improve communication and performance.These classes train members how to use many techniques to motivate and create team unity.

Senior Management and Critical Information
When did Senior Management become sacred?

Interested in Leadership, or Committed to Becoming a Leader?
Many managers in leadership roles have stunted personal growth. Their "years of leadership experience and learning" is formal education (usually technical and/or management) followed by a year or two of experience multiplied twenty or thirty times. Here's an all too typical dinner conversation I had with a senior manager in the middle of a two-day improvement workshop I was running with a senior management team. The company was in crisis. It was struggling just to stay even in its industry.
