ABOUT THE EPISODE:

“Developing sales teams one sales manager at a time”

That’s Emmet’s LinkedIn headline, and it hits very close to home with everything I’ve learned about sales teams in my three decades in B2B sales.

Emmet talks about front line sales managers as a “Force Multiplier” - a term I fully intend to steal.

And this episode - it’s all about that.

The power of a good front line sales manager who has the time, ability, and inclination to help their team thrive - and the challenges of getting that done consistently - both personal and organizational that can get in the way.

If you are a sales manager, work for one, have one, or just want to hear a solid perspective about why the role matters and how it can deploy more effectively, then I’m sure you will enjoy listening to this episode just like I enjoyed participating in it.
