Effective management of the Sales Force lies at the heart of the success of almost all businesses, irrespective of whether they are in the B2B domain or selling FMCGs. This role has become even more critical during the current economic stagnation. The Sales Leader has to design and implement strategies that will allow his team to perform to the best of their abilities in difficult circumstances. Powerful and demanding customers require key account managers who would champion their cause.

The task of Sales Managers has become far more challenging and complex. Leading an efficient, motivated and highly trained sales force is of paramount importance in this situation. This 3-day programme aims at examining and exploring some of the challenges commonly faced by Sales Force Leaders. Using case studies, the programme will also expose participants to how successful international companies are addressing these challenges.

 

The programme will allow participants unique opportunity to explore different aspects of Sales Force Leadership and Management and understand key drivers for optimising their team’s performance. Some of the areas covered are: 

  • Strategic Role of Selling
  • Managing the Sales Force
  • Key Account Selling
  • Sales Force Deployment
  • Recruitment, Training and Compensation
  • Motivation and Evaluation

 

The programme is designed for upper and middle-level Sales Managers. Typical participants will hold titles including Director Sales and Marketing, Sales Manager, Account Sales Manager, General Business Manager, Business Development Manager, Marketing Manager and Product Manager.
