Sales 101 for Managers, Part 1

As cute as the graphic of the toddler is for today’s podcast, you will get even more value out of the info I’m about to share with you. So stick with me…. Why are we referring to sales when your job has nothing to do with selling? You’re not in a sales function and, in fact, you don’t WANT to be, right? I get that. However, what you may not understand is that you ARE in a sales function, and as a manager and leader you need to understand why that’s important to your career. It’s important to understand the sales process, as knowledge of the process can be a guide for your leadership as well as for gaining the respect of others. You may be surprised to find out that your team WANTS you to sell them on WHY they should do the things you tell them. Tune in to this episode of the Manager Mojo podcast to get clear about putting on your ‘Inner 2-Year-Old’ and how that can prove valuable to you and the team.
