Sales managers have always worn too many hats, and that level of responsibility is only increasing. Still the question remains—is their development keeping up?


To keep up, many sales organizations are turning to surveys to capture important sales manager performance data. Unfortunately survey design is not something sales professionals know much about. The result is that many sales surveys produce faulty data that lead to bad decisions.

In this highly interactive session, you will:

  • Examine how the role of sales manager has changed.
  • Learn why assessments are an effective method for developing sales manager performance.
  • Analyze the common mistakes made when creating sales manager assessments.
