Can your products, services, and solutions help clients find and sell to new customers? If so, reach out to our list of Sales managers and directors to let them know

In the UK, there are around 474,000 people working or self-employed as sales managers and business development managers.

A sales manager may have any number of job titles, including:

• sales director,
• customer care representative,
• sales associate,
• sales representative,
• area sales manager,
• sales leader,
• account manager,
• business development manager,
• regional sales manager/national sales manager, and so on.

Whatever their title, though, the sales manager job comes with a lot of responsibility.

Sales reps and business development reps are often promoted into management positions solely because of their sales success, not because they have natural management skills.

This is the typical succession path, so businesses must immediately replace the revenue that would have come from their now-sales manager.

Meeting business sales targets becomes even more challenging as the new sales manager lacks experience, expertise, and training.

A new sales manager will either flourish or fail at this stage. A good sales manager is competitive and numbers-driven.

The sales manager should figure out how to surpass their sales goal without overburdening their team.

Surprising products/services that sales managers need

Benefits for employees

As skills become increasingly specialised, sales managers will try to keep their most talented employees. Unless you value your workers, others will.

In today’s work environment, a manager’s challenge is ensuring that talented staff is supported, learning new skills, progressing and is happy.

It is important to let employees know they are appreciated. It’s always a priority to pay employees what they’re worth, but sales managers can do more with regular rewards and recognition.

Sales management tools

Managing and tracking sales activities, contacts, quotas, and more requires sales management software. It is also used by sales managers to identify trends, growth opportunities, and team wins, and motivate and onboard reps.

As of 2020, 90% of sales leaders say sales technology is important or very important. More than half plan to increase spending on sales technology.

Tools for project management

Project management tools automate communication and scheduling. The result is that businesses can easily assign tasks and track sales pipeline progress, creating a central hub for work.

Project timeline makers are commonly used to visualise a project roadmap as an infographic. This allows the whole team to see all the milestones at once.

Tech for closing

eSignature apps make closing and signing simple by having users sign on dotted lines.

eSignature tools and laws make eSignatures valid and binding, which means printing, signing, and scanning documents are no longer necessary.

An effective sales manager removes as many roadblocks as possible so that salespeople can create new leads and close more deals.
