The Top-Performing Sales Manager Model

TPSM Model

As part of our Top-Performing Sales Manager research, we studied 100 skills and behaviors in 12 categories across selling, productivity, and sales management and coaching. 

We found that sales manager success can be categorized in the areas highlighted in this model: rhythm, roles, and conversations.

The 10 roles are all statistically validated as 10 critical areas where Top-Performing Sales Managers excel versus other managers.

RAIN Sales Coaching focuses on the five roles around motivation, focus and action planning, execution and productivity, advising and facilitating, and development. It underscores the importance of adopting a consistent rhythm of coaching and developing coaching plans that motivate sellers.
