Dave Kurlan, president of Objective Management Group, was a featured presenter at our Spring Summit. Dave continues to pioneer the sales assessment industry and provided EcSell Institute clients with crucial insights into sales force intelligence to ensure managers can answer the five most important questions listed below. Here are the highlights from his Summit session.

Here are the 5 Most Important Questions for a Sales Manager to Answer:

1. Do We Have the Right People in the Right Roles?
2. Can They Execute Your Changing Strategies?
3. Can our non-performers be saved?
4. What Impact is Sales Management Having?
5. Who Can Make the Transition to Sell More Consultatively?

Dave showed how using an assessment tool can help sales managers answer difficult, and often impossible to answer business questions.  He showed that adding an assessment to your management tool kit will provide timely, relevant, and insightful sales force intelligence to help make informed business decisions. A science-based assessment tool will also help managers identify hidden issues with people, systems, processes, strategies, sales management, messaging, pipeline, motivation, training and development.
