The role of a sales team is to sell. The sales manager is responsible for creating, advancing, and managing the people, processes, and systems for their team to be successful.

But in today’s evolving hybrid selling environment, it isn’t enough for marketing to create these materials; they must also ensure sellers know how to access these resources and when to deploy them in the sales process.
