Effective Sales Managers are Your #1 Sales Resource
A good sales manager helps salespeople by arming them with the skills, knowledge and strategies to help them be successful. A good coach motivates people by managing their individual strengths, hopes and dreams, by holding them accountable, and by helping them recover from negative encounters. Today, a good sales manager must be both a good manager and a good coach.
As you evaluate the sales management skills of your sales leadership team, here are some of the questions that we answer for our clients:
- Are we maximizing our sales management approach?
- Are there important skills that we haven’t yet developed or mastered?
- Are there weaknesses preventing us from being as effective as we can be?

We Help Develop Your Sales Managers to Become Sales Leaders
As an exclusive certified Business Partner of Objective Management Group, Anthony Cole Training Group uses the OMG Sales Assessment Tools for our Sales Management Effectiveness evaluations. Based on our history with this valuable tool, we know that there are four sales management skills that a highly effective sales manager must master.
We have built our Sales Managed Environment sales management training program to develop sales leaders who excel in these 4 key areas:
Coaching – The key to helping your salespeople improve and generate more revenue – intentional, personal and ongoing coaching to improve skills, go beyond closing just the deal at hand.
Motivating – The days of sales management cheerleading may be a thing of the past but the ability to motivate one or many to change a behavior, put forth more effort, push through their comfort zone or rally around a goal is more important than ever.
Setting Standards – The disciplined ability to hold salespeople accountable to something measurable, usually some predetermined metrics, on a daily or weekly basis allows managers to review forward looking indicators rather than lagging indicators.
Recruiting & Upgrading – It is becoming more important to have the right salespeople in the right roles, have A and B players instead of B and C players, and to get it right when selecting candidates.
Certainly, the amount of time that sales managers dedicate to the development of their people is an essential part of their success. As the chart reflects, an effective sales manager spends at least 80% of their time coaching, motivating, measuring performance and recruiting.
