Listen While You Work: How can Sales KPI's Make a Sales Manager Outperform Competitors?
Nov 09, 2015
In this interview with Pipeliner CEO Nikoluas Kimla and John Golden, Chief Strategy officer for Pipeliner, they discuss the five KPIs that every sales manager should use to understand how to coach their teams to extraordinary success. The host is SLMA's Jim Obermayer.
Watch now:
Key Performance Indicators aren't new, but for many sales managers KPI's aren't defined, tracked or used as pointers to help them manage salespeople. Maybe it is the lack of easy to use tools to track KPIs. Maybe it is the sales manager's inability to understand how they can use KPIs to look at the past and predict the future; regardless, the excuses aren't valid anymore.
