A comprehensive approach to driving manager productivity

 

Step 1: Educate Leaders

How can I make my frontline sales managers more productive, and help them to make their teams more productive?

SBI’s research finds that managers are consistently prioritizing sales approaches that lead to longer cycle times and smaller deals. They do so at a higher rate than sellers themselves, leading to at best no impact from managers, and at worst managers steering their teams in the wrong direction.

 

Step 2: Assess Talent

How does it work?

  1. Strategize with your SBI Growth Advisor which of the assessment offerings available make the most sense for your organization.
  2. SBI deploys, analyzes, and packages any assessments and benchmarks on your behalf.
  3. If implementing an assessment, frontline sales managers respond to a ~20-minute survey answering questions about how they approach their work.
  4. An SBI Growth Advisor will schedule a 60-minute follow-up to discuss your personalized results and action items.
