It seems like a thankless job of being pulled into many directions at once. I can’t say that there is any one at my company that I would want to be like…” Some of our clients are either recruiting for a new manager, inheriting a team, or looking to promote a top salesperson. But all of them ask the same question- what should we be looking for? What competencies are necessary for a sales manager to be successful in their role of developing the sales team? Sales managers ask us the same questions themselves. They know that their strengths and weaknesses directly impact their team, and they don’t want to shortchange them. Unfortunately the more responsibility they take on, [the less support, coaching, and training sales managers get](https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/what-mind-both-sales-leaders-salespeople-carole-mahoney). That means sales managers, in those cases, need to be willing to take full responsibility for the success of themselves and therefore their team. So before you take that promotion, or hire a sales manager- what questions should you be asking about the competencies and skills needed?   ![Sales management.png](https://www.unboundgrowth.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Sales%20management.png?width=640&name=Sales%20management.png) ### 4 Competencies a Successful Sales Manager Needs According to the Objective Management Group’s data and research of over a million salespeople and leaders across the globe, they have identified four sales management competencies necessary for successful sales growth. The following 4 sales management capabilities should make up 80% of a sales manager’s role and time. Of course there are other things like product strategy, planning compensation, etc (OMG reports on 10 different competencies)- but if more than 20% of a manager’s time is spent on those ‘other things’, the team’s revenue and retention will suffer. 1. **Motivating:** [What motivates them and how much](https://www.unboundgrowth.com/blog/the-science-of-sales-development-part-1)? Do they have the desire and commitment to reach their own personal goals? Do they have their own plan for reaching those goals? How do they track their progress? Can they motivate salespeople to do the same thing? Do they know what motivates each individual on the team? Do they have strong relationships with each team member? How do they give recognition? 2. **Accountability:** Will they hold salespeople accountable? What [daily and weekly metrics will be used?](https://www.unboundgrowth.com/blog/how-do-you-measure-the-impact-of-sales-coaching) Is it okay for some salespeople to barely, or not, make quota if others make up the difference? Do they believe their salespeople need to like them? Do they make excuses or take responsibility themselves? Do they tend to jump in to manage the sale, or the behavior of the salesperson? Do they ask enough questions of their salespeople? Do they listen enough to know what their salespeople need from them? How do they manage the pipeline with their team? Which part of the pipeline do they pay attention to? 3. **Coaching:** [Can and will they coach salespeople](https://www.unboundgrowth.com/sales-coaching-guide) consistently? How efficiently and frequently do they debrief and strategize conversations with them? How do they handle joint calls? Are their salespeople comfortable coming to them with problems? How well do they control their own emotions in coaching calls? Do they tend to want step in and take over to rescue salespeople? Can they help salespeople uncover the compelling reason for prospects to change the status quo? Can they coach salespeople how to learn how their prospect make their decisions and get them to agree to do so? 4. **Recruiting:** Do they believe they should be upgrading the salesforce consistently? Will they constantly recruit top salespeople and how? Do they know what the profile of an ideal salesperson looks like? Will they hire who they like, or[according to specific criteria](https://info.objectivemanagement.com/page/Whitepaper-Salesperson-Selection.aspx?DistNum=426)? Can and will they make timely decisions and be able to persuade candidates to do the same? Now that you know what to look for, the billion dollar question is- how do you know if they have it? Who needs what training and coaching themselves to be able to help their team? You could take the time to ask these questions of them, or observe for yourself- but [neither are scientifically sound](https://www.unboundgrowth.com/blog/the-science-of-sales-development-part-2) and the amount of time to do so is overwhelming.
