Principles of sales management
Sales management is a multifaceted task that combines process management and people coaching. It requires the ability of the sales manager to create and maintain a sales culture that reflects the company's values and goals.
It is important to understand that when employees are rewarded effectively and managers act more as coaches, it can significantly motivate the sales team. This positive atmosphere is directly reflected in customer relations.
Sales management emphasizes personal coaching and development of individuals, which helps each salesperson reach their best potential.
What does sales management include?
- Creating vision and direction: The sales team must have a clear understanding of the company's goals and strategy.
- Competence development: Continuous development of salespeople's skills and knowledge ensures that the team remains competitive and efficient.
- Management of culture and rewards: A stimulating sales culture is created, where cooperation, appreciation of individuals and recognition of achievements are emphasized.
Good sales management requires understanding people, meaning and feeling, and good communication.
The importance of common practices
- Who are all potential customers - and who are not
- What is the company's value proposition to the customer
- What is expected from sellers in the short and long term
We help our customers manage sales so that, in addition to common operating methods and goals, salespeople are considered as individuals, work is done as a team, and the common focus is on the customer and a view to the future.
Challenges and solutions in sales management
- The company’s sales team does not have common thoughts - operations, and a sales process, or it is not followed
- There is a fierce competition within the sales team which has lead to hiding of information, and pursuing of own success at the expense of the organization.
- The sales is slacking, and set goals are not reached
- The sale lacks clear measurements, and can not be lead
- A new, or a first CRM system is being invested in, or the use of an existing one should be enforced
- Sales are good, but production is deficient

Management in the future
Key themes in future sales management are the utilization of technology, customer focus and flexibility. The role of technology is significant: sales managers must stay up to date with new tools and systems that can enhance sales processes and improve the customer experience.
Customer focus means that sales strategies and measures are planned around the customer's needs. This requires that sales teams understand the customer's business environment and know how to tailor solutions to meet these needs.
Flexibility is important in a rapidly changing market. Sales managers must be able to adapt to new business models and changes in customer behavior. This requires the ability to evaluate and update sales strategies and the agility to change plans as needed.
Success in future sales management thus requires continuous learning and the ability to guide the team in a changing business environment.
