In "Praise of Sales Management" examines the role of sales managers today and, most importantly, what the role should be. David argues the case that, in many situations, organizations have allowed the role of the sales manager to become significantly compromised. For organizations where even some of these trends are evident, there is a tremendous opportunity to ensure that sales managers are engaged in value-added activities. |

In their publication from earlier this year, Jim Dickie and Barry Trailer share a number of powerful and personal interviews with sales leaders. We are featuring the interview with Mr. John Williams, previously the Senior Executive Vice President of World Wide Field Operations at StorageTek. In his own words... "Over a four-year period we took sales at StorageTek from $700 million to $2.2 billion, and we did this all through productivity gains - we did not add any additional sales people during that time. In retrospect, the main foundation of our success was that we concentrated on three things - Metrics, Process, and Tools".
