Of the 5 sales management skill sets required - coaching, motivating, recruiting, mentoring and performance management – this last one, performance management, is where the team “scored” the best.

One of the lessons I have recently relearned is there are a lot of people who believe they are salespeople. For me, a salesperson actively works to sell something be it a product, service or a combination of products and services. He or she does not rely on others to sell his or her solutions. For anyone to actively sell something, he or she must know what he or she is selling.
