Sales managers crucially influence overall sales force performance. How do firms ensure managers are measured on the most impactful metrics?
Results from our recent survey explores how firms define and measure the effectiveness of their first-line sales managers (FLSMs). Specifically, we examine:
- What tools and processes are used to define, measure, and assess FLSM performance?
- Which measures of FLSM effectiveness are most important?
- Do FLSM incentive compensation plans use consistent performance measures?
- What gaps exist in firms’ FLSM performance measures?
An initial review of findings was also featured in a webcast, which may be viewed here:
