How to Succeed at Making the Climb to Sales Leadership
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.
