Improve Forecasting and Pipeline Visibility With Sales Management Training
Sales managers need a repeatable, easy-to-master process for quickly reviewing their team’s sales pipelines and opportunities to provide meaningful and objectively-based coaching that improves their sales team skills.
Richardson Sales Performance’s Sales Management and Coaching Training Programme
The Sales Management and Coaching training programme provides an overview of common sales management challenges and teaches sales managers to overcome them. In the training programme, your sales management team learns how to analyse opportunities and then engage their sellers in an effective opportunity review coaching conversations.
They learn how to perform a pipeline review to identify the potential yield of current opportunities, recognise stuck opportunities, and find ways to close gaps in individual seller’s pipes.
