Selling is simple. It requires certain activities and outcomes that allow you to create and win new opportunities. These activities are well known and equally well documented.

For a very long time, we in sales have counted on our companies and our solutions to provide differentiation , something that has become increasingly difficult over time.

Yesterday’s post was a list of the most important resolutions salespeople should make in the coming year. Today’s post, as you have already discerned, is about the resolutions you should make as a sales leader (and if you are a sales manager, you are by definition, a sales leader).
