Description of Course

Managing a Sales Force is different from many management environments in that the team spends most of their time working remote from the manager.

The course begins with a detailed look at the very essence of what management is all about. Getting results through others is very different from self achievement and this theme continues throughout the course. Delegates are taken through all the key management skills from recruiting to rewarding, from motivating others to managing time to manage. The emphasis throughout the course is on practical solutions to practical challenges. Case studies, pragmatic exercises and lively discussions are all part of an experience that will equip the team leader to manage the Sales Force and succeed.
