Building a Winning Sales Team

1 Full Day  |  .6 CEUs

The value of a sales force is based on its responsibility to create sales on its exposure to the public as the "face" of the company, and on the fact that it is entrusted with the most important corporate asset: the customer (Zoltners, Sinha, and Zoltners 2001). In fact, the overall performance and profitability of an organization is directly related to the quality and performance of the company's sales team. Since sales forces represent such a significant role for many companies, developing and maintaining a winning sales team has become a priority among firms today.
