Do you know what sales performance management (SPM) is? If you don't, this podcast episode is for you!
SPM involves monitoring, analysing, and improving the performance of sales teams to achieve aligned business goals. It includes setting clear objectives, using data-driven insights to track progress, and implement incentive plans to motivate salespeople. In this episode our hosts Mike and Sam are joined by Matthew Blanchard, co founder of Sales Excellence Advisors to discuss the importance of SPM.
During this episode we want you to think about your sales team. Is there transparency, positive persistence, open communication, and a passion for the industry? These are all critical in generating a strong work environment. This is the chance for you as a sales leader to make sure your salespeople understand how to reach their targets, so they perform with confidence and at their optimum.
