In most companies, sales leaders have earned their way to manager by demonstrating exceptional selling skills.
However, this person may not possess the skills they need to coach and motivate others to prospect and sell effectively.
The skills necessary for coaching and leading others are very different from sales skills. Anthony Cole Training Group understands this and has a sales performance management program that trains managers how to get the best from their salespeople.
Find Out About Our Sales Growth Coaching for Managers
Our trademarked Sales Managed Environment® (SME™) program teaches your sales managers the

- Motivate and Mentor: Motivation is an inside-out job and sales leaders learn how each individual is wired to better affect behavioral change
- Performance Management: Set higher standards for success and hold people accountable to the standards
- Recruit & Upgrade the Sales Team: Recruit “A” players and continually upgrade the bench
