Long-time sales team leader Max Cates shows how Total Quality Management (TQM) practices can significantly improve sales productivity. Going far beyond “old school,” “command and control” sales management, Cates helps you unleash the full power and energy of your salespeople through a participatory management approach that works. Drawing on 36+ years of sales and sales management experience, Cates presents proven tactics for:
Developing your own mental toughness, emotional intelligence, strategic thinking, and promotability
Hiring more effective and productive salespeople — including expert tips for interviewing, recruiting, reading body language, using data, and choosing amongst candidates
Building winning teams that meet sales objectives and delight customers
Becoming a true servant leader in a sales environment
Empowering sales reps and teams in decision-making that increases sales productivity
Measuring individual and team performance towards objectives
Keeping people on target without micro-managing them
Promoting team growth and continual improvement
Leveraging Six Sigma and the Deming Cycle to sustain success, morale, and performance
And much more
