It’s tough enough to keep pace with all the changes taking place in the world of business… throw in a global pandemic to amp up the confusion and test the mettle of salespeople everywhere… and we’ve got companies often struggling to know which end is up.  Frank Cespedes of Harvard Business School advises in his new book, Sales Management that Works, that sales leaders need to focus on Financial Literacy in order to understand the flood of business data rushing around us, and be able to separate the noise from the real, helpful information they need to plan, hire and succeed.

Mike Montague interviews Pete Oliver on How to Succeed at Making the Climb to Sales Leadership. Pete is an award-winning Sandler training from Boston, now in Hawaii and also Texas! He is author of the new Sandler book, Making the Climb: From Salesperson to Sales Manager and Beyond! Making the Climb by Peter Oliver is the antidote to the “sink or swim” approach that sabotages too many aspiring sales professionals. Most emerging sales managers receive little or no training before taking on the job. That is a huge mistake. The climb from individual contributor to manager is worth planning and preparing for, because this role is not only among the toughest on the organizational chart, but it is also the one that offers the most upside (and downside), both personally and for the organization.   Get the new book in the Sandler Shop or on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B094DNT8P5/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_6D153FTWR1Q6N4AVAA5J In this episode: The best attitude, behavior, and technique on how to succeed at making the climb to sales leadership Why make the climb?
