Sales Management
Successful salespeople promoted to manager often discover that leading a team requires entirely different skills from closing deals. You begin with the role of the sales manager, the link between business strategy and sales strategy, and choosing the right structure for field, inside and key account teams. Planning sessions cover territory design, target and quota setting, sales forecasting and resource allocation. Practical techniques then address recruiting and onboarding sellers, designing compensation and incentive plans, running pipeline reviews and coaching through joint calls.
Data sessions show how to use CRM dashboards, activity metrics, win rates and sales velocity to spot problems early and focus effort. Risk and compliance topics include ethical sales conduct, pricing authority, customer data protection, credit exposure and fair treatment of sales staff. Case studies and simulations ask you to fix an underperforming territory and redesign an incentive scheme. New and experienced sales managers, team leaders, regional managers and business owners who lead sales teams are well served by it. You complete the week holding a sales plan, a coaching routine and a performance dashboard ready to use.
About this course
Organizations that excel in sales management create customer loyalty, drive revenue growth, and build strong market position. This course gives sales, marketing, and customer service professionals a comprehensive toolkit — from strategy and analytics through execution, measurement, and continuous improvement.
Built on proven methodologies and real-world scenarios, participants develop actionable strategies they can implement on day one of return to their roles.
Throughout the programme, participants work through realistic scenarios drawn from public sector institutions, private enterprises, development organizations, and regulated professional environments, examining how sales management is applied in practice and where it most often breaks down. Delegates will develop practical skill in designing appropriate frameworks, selecting and applying the right tools for strategy and integration, interpreting findings, and communicating conclusions clearly to colleagues, management and external stakeholders.
