I get emails all the time from Sales Managers looking for ideas on how they can improve their relationship with their reps and guess what?
I get plenty of emails from sales reps looking for help in that department too!
I thought it might be a good idea to do a little group therapy this week and talk about how we can improve this vital working relationship.
To that end, I have several things that I’m going to share with you:
1) 2 questions sales managers MUST ask their sales reps if they want a better relationship.
2) 1 question sales reps need to ask their manager.
3) An awesome sales management “mindset” that one of my clients shared with me.
4) What micromanagement really means in a relationship.
5) A communication agreement that managers and reps need to embrace.
6) An invitation to stop judging and start helping.
7) How to have a better joint sales call.
8) 3 important reasons why joint sales calls need to be happening on your team!
9) The problem with egos.
