DISCIPLINE: Leadership Development

Salespeople need motivated, consistent and competent leadership in order to grow and achieve high performance standards. A sales force generally reflects the standards of motivation and competency reflected in its leadership. Similarly, the success of the sales manager depends on the success of the people who work under him or her. Sales managers and leaders who believe in what they do instill in others a strong and almost contagious personal motivation. When leadership has conviction, the sales force is more likely to project that to the prospective customer and achieve success in generating sales.
