Why do these well- intentioned investments fail?

The Sales Manager
The Sales Manager should be managing the performance of their business through their people – i.e. achieving results through others. Management is really all about good direction and encouraging your people to do those things you as a sales manager think need to be done to win.
In reality, sales managers often don’t know what to do to win – and sometimes lack the necessary persuasion skills to encourage cooperation within their own organisation. Many managers misunderstand the art of delegation and leadership. Usually, this is not their fault; they’ve probably never received any structured long-term training and development in how to become an effective manager.
Inexperienced and ineffective sales managers usually prevent their sales people from being fully effective. Fix this one problem and sales organisations cannot fail to improve.
