The Digital Sales Future - Tom Scontras Details Download
Before the Internet, there were people. When people needed something, they went to places where other people had what they needed. Deals happened. It was face to face, human to human. It was all pretty simple. Then it got complicated.

The Internet. We communicate with more people from behind computers. Selling is now face to screen where we reach more prospects than with massive field organizations, but have created a virtual wall that neither rep nor customer knows how to clearly navigate.

Join Tom Scontras, Chief Marketing Officer at Glance Networks, as he looks into the future of inside sales. "The Digital Deal", a thought provoking discussion about today's rapidly shifting sales culture, where it's been, where it's headed, and how to best prepare as our world hits a massive tipping point.

Becoming an Effective Sales Manager - Tom Snyder Details Download
The vast majority of sales managers were promoted into the manager position by virtue of their high performance in sales. Unfortunately, the skills that make a great manager are distinctly different from those associated with being a great seller. Despite this obvious disconnect, few companies offer specific manager training, most lack a formal sales management discipline and most are using a CRM system as a substitute for good sales management.

This talk will involve a review of the latest research into how high performance sales teams are managed. This research has revealed a wide difference between how high performing teams are managed as opposed to those that fail to meet their full potential. As this research reveals, no function in the corporate structure holds as much potential for near term performance improvement as that of the sales management role.

In this talk, Tom Snyder will discuss the four major components of the sales management role and will show how the Team Visibility tool greatly amplifies sales manager effectiveness in each one.
