Sales Management vs Sales
This Module highlights the changing role of a sales manager, and the difference between Selling and Managing Sales. It is meant to help participants understand that just because they were a good sales person it is not a given that they will be a good Sales Manager

The module is pivotal in cementing individual Accountability and Focus.

Using a sample Plan normally built for one Sales Manager), a Tutorial is given on "How to Plan' prior to an overnight exercise being set for each Manager to complete a "first cut" Plan for his/her Team. During the next day, a sampling of these Plans are presented back to the Group for tutorial and coaching purposes [Annual Plan].
