Understanding Leadership
In this module we focus on defining sales leadership, the role of a sales leader and the transition we need to make when moving from a sales executive to a sales leader. We discuss how building trust and focusing on good communication form the foundation to great sales leadership. All of which is underpinned by knowing how to focus on the right areas through effective prioritising and planning.

Planning as a Sales Leader
In module two we take a deeper look at the importance of planning to ensure a return on our sales leadership investment. This starts with understanding the power of good time management, setting standards and effective delegation. We explore the importance of being prepared when we give feedback to our sales team and find ourselves in conflict situations. We close off this module examining the difference between leadership and followship.

Working as a Sales Leader
Gaining commitment as a sales leader is essential to your success. We spend time in this module exploring what this means and how you can work with your sales team to gain the commitment you need. This might be through growing capability, effective coaching or managing up to make sure you and your sales team have the support you need to be successful. We wrap up this module with a focus on your ongoing development as a sales leader.
