Course overview
What Is Sales Leadership?
Sales leadership is about reaching the revenue target through the strength of your team instead of your personal sales. Participants learn to set SMART goals and clear expectations, organise territories and forecasts, use sales figures to choose where effort counts, and coach, encourage and hold sellers responsible so the team performs as one.
Immersive sessions, hands-on workshops and real-world simulations let participants build sales plans, examine pipelines and rehearse coaching conversations based on the markets sales leaders in Liberia are working in.
Aimed at sales managers working in Liberia’s emerging markets, the course builds the leadership that growing competition demands: setting SMART goals, coaching with empathy, keeping sellers resilient after setbacks and creating a team that takes ownership of its results.
Why it matters
Why Sales Leadership Matters in Liberia
In Liberia, markets are expanding and competition is intensifying. Sales managers who set clear goals, keep their sellers resilient and stay close to customers help their organisations claim a share of that growth.
Competitive markets
As competition grows, buyers can go elsewhere, and how a sales team is led often decides who keeps the account.
The manager makes the team
Sellers thrive with clear SMART goals, regular coaching and a manager who listens.
Decisions on evidence
A careful plan and an honest forecast make revenue something the business can count on.
Lasting customer trust
Empathetic, well-led sellers build the customer ties organisations in Liberia depend on.
The Knowles leadership approach
From Insight to Impact
Six steps form a loop that runs from agreeing the target to changing direction once results come in, a rhythm sales managers can repeat every month or quarter.
