SOLD OUT: Lessons in Sales Leadership
THIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT
Leading the sales organization is one of the most challenging roles in business today. Digital acceleration, Consumer 3.0, global competition, increased regulation, Brexit implications, and new and faster communication channels mean it's an ever-changing and challenging leadership role. And we haven't mentioned leading and developing your sales people yet!
Yet effective sales leadership can be the difference between your organisation thriving or barely surviving!
That said, success in sales leadership is driven by personal experience such as - the customers you met, the sales prospects who said no, the peer network you have built up, and the sales leaders who guided and mentored you along the way.
With this in mind, we are delighted to invite our Munster members to join us for this event, where our panel of senior and experienced Business Leaders will share the lessons they have learned along their journey.
This is a members-only event. Non-members who are interested please email enquiries@salesinstitute.ie
