I would say a a rule that most sales managers got their position because they had high sales and they really dont know whay they had high sales so they cant really teach others. therefore, you really cant trust most sales managers.

Hi - Great Blog, got you bookmarked!

Sales managers want you to sell right!?! however some of them got to the position of Sales Manager by "plodding" beat your targets and always learn as much as you can about YOUR product as well as YOUR techniques!

I think your opinion is spot on. However, if your sales manager follows your every move and much like the micro management type I would imagine that "sticking your head in the sand" or following your own way might not be the right choice bec like you said it will create for a terrible moral inside yourself. Like you said a combination of both heads is probably the best bet!:)

When one hires a Sales Manager one is relying on their experience and expertise in knowing how to get the sales. Hopefully sales staff will benefit from the manager's input and work together to grow the company business. This would be ideal but I think your article is correct in suggesting that it's better to move than to suffer under a poor Sales Manager.

The decision to take the advice is still your own choice. But with any decision making, take into consideration the pros and cons, weigh it out, and act on it. If what you decided on was against your manager's advice, show him why it is so. You might even impress him.

Information on sales can be found here at Sales Course Training. Drop by and share a thought.

Well ... In the end, the sales manager holds the ultimate responsibility, but the moral obligations of all team members is to express their opinion freely, while adhering to management's directions. Responsibility lines are there for a reason, knowing that this doesn't diminish the importance of anybody's role.

The problem is that most sales managers still think they are "in the trenches". Just because someone is the top sales person doesn't necessarily mean they will be a top sales manager.

Trusting a sales manager means that you allow thier input into your decison making.
It stills goes back to " two sets of eyes" and the sales managers experienced eyes are usually a good source of help especially for the novice sales rep.
For the sales rep the utilization of outside advice is as necessary to thier closing average as a batting coaches advice is to Alex Rodriguez increasing his batting average.

In many ways I agree with your article. Way to often sales managers don't know what they are doing.

But, usually they are managers for a reason.
If you as a salesman don't listen to your manager, more often than not, it will hurt your sales in the future.

you should post a little more. I don't quite understand what you mean poor sales managers, you're very contradictory in your article. Always take advice from others good or bad its what helps mold you into a force. Its the it's what to do and what not to do. If you don't like your manager get over it, if they can't sell they wouldn't be in that position if somehow they got lucky, out produce by using resources around you and take his or her position.
