The role of a manager for any sales team is critical. There tends to be two types of managers - you’re either somebody who leads from the front, or you’ll prefer to delegate, maybe taking a more indirect style of leadership. Regardless of your approach, the end goal is likely to be the same, increasing sales volume, growing the client base, managing the efficiency of your team and hiring people who’ll add maximum value.
Writing a generic job spec for a sales manager is an impossible task. The list of duties will vary hugely from company to company; target setting, appraisals, assigning sales territories, monitoring & improving performances, attending service reviews with clients, budget management, attending trade conventions etc.
At Yolk we don’t generalise and we don’t pigeon-hole people. We’ll treat you as an individual as this gets the best results for you, us and our clients.
