You may not be managing your sales team right now but
 you should still know the basics of sales management at
  the least. Your sales force is what brings profit into the
company, so it's important that you keep an eye on it even
        if you hire sales managers to call the shots.
Sales management is what makes or breaks your business.
 Your sales staff depends on management support so they
can be productive. This calls for an organized, creative and
     attentive management team to define the proper
  direction of the sales team. They both work as one, and
               there is no other way around it.
There are several effective techniques in managing a
highly successful sales team; but it would be best to get a
 good hold of the basics first, then things will then flow
  smoothly from there. Everything starts with the sales
objectives, which includes what you want to accomplish
     with your sales projections. Your business sales
   projections and objectives allow the sales team to
measure up their performance with the given resources.
You must be crystal clear with your sales objectives,
including the parameters and time frame. This will provide
   the foundation of a good sales plan. Any problem that
   might present itself along the way must be dealt with
   efficiently. I am referring to problems such as concerns
  regarding the product or services about to be rolled out
from production; and administrative issues that affects the
  sales plan. These problems must be handled accordingly
before launching full sales campaigns. Remember that the
   way you handle such concerns will certainly impact the
        productivity and efficiency of your sales team.
As a side note, I want you to know that professionalism is
    key. Your top management must know how to handle
   itself well. Your front liners must be given due respect,
 otherwise this will surely affect their sales performances.
Remember that your sales team brings the sales in so that
  your company can generate profit. Sales managers these
   days still have a lot to learn; despite the fact that they
     have mastered the art of closing sales and effective
organization of workloads to separate sales units, they still
   have a lot to learn about managing people. It would be
 safe to say that being overbearing on absolutely anything
 is the best idea they can come up with to improve overall
                          productivity.
This may not be healthy for your business at all. What
    really works in this case is to give your front liners a
chance to contribute their inputs during the sales planning
   since they are the ones that do the actual selling. This
  means they also have a good idea on how the selling is
 done, and that is reflective on every effective sales plan.
   Sales Accountability must also be a part of your sales
   management and planning. This will keep the balance
  considering the fact that the sales performance of your
  sales action team helps to counter the opportunity you
     gave them in influencing the company's sales plan.
You must see to it that you give support to your sales
  team. Helping and motivating them will build a strong
 relationship that should pave the way for effective sales
    performances. This is what forms a strong business
foundation. How you approach sales management is what
              makes or breaks your business.
