Set standards on high-performing sales teams and apply them consistently regardless of who is involved.
Building High-Performing Sales Teams and Sustaining Their Motivation
A concise, decision-focused programme covering high-performing sales teams end to end.
Course Overview
When high-performing sales teams is unclear, people default to protecting their own function. Teams read what their leaders tolerate on the practice within organisational leadership far more accurately than what their leaders announce. The most reliable predictor of sound this part of organisational leadership is whether anyone reviews it when nothing has gone wrong. Moving high-performing sales teams from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. The course gives participants a defensible structure for this aspect of organisational leadership and the judgement to adapt it. Participants take away a working set of documents supporting the wider organisational leadership agenda, ready to be adapted internally. It is written for people who have to make high-performing sales teams work with the resources they already have. The programme uses small-group work so that each participant's treatment of the organisational leadership discipline is examined, not just described. The final session converts the week's work on this part of organisational leadership into commitments with owners and dates.
