Course description
Sales Manager Programme (SMP): In-House Training Programme
The role of a sales manager is an essential one in a company, yet few sales managers are actually prepared for the role. A competent sales manager needs the ability to select, engage, and retain top talent; coach and manage the performance of their team; and maximise time spent selling. Sales managers also need to manage their team's pipeline and deal with various issues, internal challenges, and provide support where needed. It is not surprising that sales managers, who are usually promoted because of their sales record and not their managerial skill or potential, need help and support in this new role.
Imparta’s Sales Manager Programme (SMP) offers your company's sales managers the processes, tools and people skills that they need to plan strategically and manage on a day-to-day basis. The course covers each key element of sales management, including territory planning, forecasting, target setting, and performance management.
Unlike many sales management training courses, Imparta's course has a modular structure that allows the programme to be tailored to your organisation’s specific needs. This unique and flexible structure gives your sales managers the skills and abilities to set up their sales teams for success while managing and growing them using organisational processes to achieve and sustain improved results.
