3 Ways Interim Managers Create Stellar Sales Teams

Turn your sales team into a high-performance unit by following the footsteps of interim managers.

Behind every successful company is a successful sales team, but they’re only as good as the interim managers leading them. By following some basic management techniques, they are able to get the best from their teams.

At every stage of the sales process, the chances of closing the sale are greater if you have a great team to capture it. Whether the customer is in the awareness, consideration or decision stage, they want to talk to a salesperson. If you have a sales team that delivers, those prospects will be your next customers.

Create a sales plan

Every successful venture starts off with a plan. It helps team members know what to do, how to do it, and when to do it. A sales playbook is a document that records your sales process and sample emails and scripts for guidance. It’s sort of like a template sales teams can use to get things going.

Interim managers train

Training your sales team should be a constant process. They must be up-to-date with the latest trends and technologies to keep up with consumer demands and to stay ahead of the competition. They can be trained in external programs or in-house under the sales manager.

Constant communication

High performance sales teams are always in sync with one another. They exchange information on leads and provide support to team members when needed – anything that will help them get that sale from printing something to accompanying them on a sales call. Being able to communicate with each other at the touch of a button is the key to creating a sales team that works well together.
