SALES MANAGER


Sales managers develop sales regions, quotas, and targets in order to direct

the distribution of their company's products to customers. Sales managers

provide direction for the sales team by outlining training plans for the staff,

creating plans for the team's effective operation, and encouraging team

members to surpass short- and long-term sales goals. To find new clients the

sales team can pursue, sales managers also collaborate closely with the

marketing division.
