RAIN Sales Management

Drive and inspire top sales performance.

Many people find themselves in the role of sales manager as the result of a promotion to recognize their top performance as a seller. But the skills that make for a successful seller and a successful sales manager are quite different.

In fact, managing a sales team is one of the more difficult jobs in any company.

In the RAIN Sales Management program, your team will learn how to lead exceptional sales team meetings, excel with forecasting, interview and hire top sales performers, and help sellers not only meet but consistently exceed sales targets.

Watch this video to learn how sales managers can help drive the performance of your team.

An important leverage point for many companies is their sales managers. Sales managers hold the keys to unlocking sales performance, yet most sales managers don't have the skills to do their jobs effectively.

Our sales manager training will give your team the knowledge, skills, and tools they need to keep sellers motivated, hold them accountable, and manage a team that not only meets, but exceeds their sales goals.
