    Most sales managers got to where they are because they were effective salespeople, first.

    And they became effective in sales because they were optimistic.

    Then they were elevated to a management post, and they retained that optimism, projecting it into their crew. But the mark of a mature manager is adding a certain amount of realism to their mental mix, especially when it comes to evaluating the people under their supervision.

    This is especially necessary when our hires don’t live up to our expectations for them.

    (4) They make excuses.

    (1) Eschew all distractions and focus on selling, alone.

    (2) Keep their task simple and unambiguous.

    (3) Follow management’s directions or stick to their personal formulas for success.

    (4) Take total responsibility for results.
