Course overview
What Is Sales Leadership?
Sales leadership is the work of hitting targets through the team you lead, not your own sales figures. The course helps sales managers set clear goals, plan territories and forecasts, use data and market analysis to decide where to focus, and coach, motivate and hold sellers to account, while managing the pressure and setbacks that come with the role.
Interactive workshops, real-life case studies and practical exercises have participants drafting sales plans, reviewing pipelines and rehearsing coaching and objection handling, using examples from the markets sales leaders in Guyana work in.
Sales managers, team leaders and entrepreneurs in Guyana learn to guide their teams to target and beyond: setting clear goals, coaching each seller to a plan of their own, handling pressure and rejection calmly and leading by example.
