The Execution Gap
A Practical Guide for Successful Sales Managers

by Mike Carroll
Sales Force Development Expert and
President of Intelligent Conversations

Introduction

There are thousands of sales books on the market, so why buy this one? You already know what needs to happen to improve your company’s sales, so why buy another book? One simple reason – there is a huge difference between knowing what to do and actually doing it. That is The Execution Gap. And closing it represents the single largest opportunity available to sales organizations today.

This book isn’t about new sales concepts or tactics. Reading it will not give you fresh insight into how to get past gatekeepers, overcome objections, or ask better questions. Rather it’s about applying a disciplined and systematic approach to doing what you already know needs to be done to achieve sales success. And the focus is on the primary leverage point in every sales organization – sales managers.

Why do so many sales mangers fail and what can you do about it? This book will answer both questions AND give you a system that is easy to implement today. It will help you understand and give you advice that is both practical and actionable on the following:

  • Sales Managers – Defining the Job
  • Leveraging Sales Systems
  • Accountability
  • Coaching
  • Motivating
  • Recruiting A-Players
  • Market Planning
  • Recognition
  • Professional Growth
  • Checklists and Meeting Guides

All you need to do is make the decision to get started and hold yourself to that commitment.

Good selling!
