A strategy to effectively onboard an internal sales person to sales manager

The Shift Control Sales Podcast

Following hot on the heals of the last podcast - can a great sales person become a great sales manager - I had some feedback from listeners who had shared some of their own experiences and so I thought I would record this episode to focus on some tangible stuff that can be implemented quickly or at least can influence your thinking as you begin to consider recruiting from within. I have always followed the Rx3 model - recruit, retain for revenue - and so the importance of getting this appointment right is so obvious and yet people will still go for speed over quality, the path of least resistance. A sales person is driven by closing and a sales manager by coaching. Individual player v a team enabler. It's worth taking time to consider all of the options rather than appease a sales person who thinks they deserve a promotion.
