Sales Managers, "It's like a professional sports coach. What do they do? They design the best plays and then coach each athlete to use the best techniques and skill sets on every play. That's why they study and break down game film so much," explains Mike Brooks of Eye on Sales.
Let's look at the 'play' of monitoring your sales team and the most important aspects for success:
Depending on your sales model, sales team can be time or commissioned based. Although, whichever model you use, clear goals are the key to success.
We have been preaching this since the start (just like Mike Brooks). Sales managers don't need to micromanage, they need to coach. Employees need to be motivated, understood, and given the tools for success. Whether it be more information, more clear communication, or sheer help in motivating, managers are there to help and guide sales teams, not create more work.
To really monitor sales teams you must execute. This means, giving them the information you have promised and keeping up your end of the deal. As soon as sales teams feel that their manager is not with them, they start to wither.
When it comes to tracking, efficiency is key. You don't want to spend your time as a manager tracking instead of coaching.
