Course overview
What Is Sales Leadership?
Sales leadership means delivering results through your team instead of through your own deals. On this course, sales managers learn to translate goals into clear expectations, decide where territories and accounts deserve effort, draw on sales data and market analysis to forecast and choose priorities, and coach, inspire and hold each representative to account so the whole team moves forward.
Interactive workshops, case studies and hands-on exercises have participants draft sales plans, question pipelines and rehearse coaching conversations, all set in the fast-changing markets that sales leaders in Equatorial Guinea serve.
Whether participants are seasoned sales managers or rising stars stepping up, the course helps sales leaders in Equatorial Guinea motivate their teams, negotiate with confidence and use data to steer decisions in a rapidly evolving market.
