   Module 1: Fundamentals of Sales Management
   1.1 What is Sales Management?
   Sales management involves leading teams to achieve sales targets through strategy,

   to-door real estate in Gurgaon) and telecalling (e.g., insurance calls in Delhi).
   Key Responsibilities:

• Team Leadership: Motivate telecallers and field agents, e.g., setting targets for a
  Chandigarh team.
• Performance Tracking: Monitor sales metrics, e.g., calls made or deals closed in
  Lucknow.
• Strategy Planning: Design campaigns, e.g., targeting farmers for tractor loans in
  Rajasthan.
• Training: Teach skills like objection handling for a Kanpur team.
  Real-Life Example: A Delhi sales manager trains telecallers to pitch insurance in Hindi,
  boosting conversions by 30%. Ask CodeMentor: If confused, ask, “What does a sales
  manager do?”
  Interactive Activity:
• Reflection Question: Recall a sales team interaction (e.g., at a store or call center).
  What did the manager do well? What could improve? Write down two observations.

  module.)
  1.2 Why Sales Management Matters in North India
  Effective sales management drives revenue and builds customer trust in North India’s
  competitive markets, especially in tier-2 cities like Meerut, where personal connections
  matter.
  Case Study: A Gurgaon real estate firm’s sales manager implemented daily team huddles,
  increasing flat sales by 40% in two months.

  sales (e.g., daily targets, training).

  targets.

  telecaller.
• Analytical Skills: Use CRM data to track performance, e.g., analyzing call success
  rates in Delhi.
• Problem-Solving: Resolve team conflicts, e.g., addressing a Chandigarh agent’s
  scheduling issue.
  Real-Life Example: A Jaipur manager resolves a team dispute over lead allocation,
  improving morale and sales.
  Estimated Reading and Activity Time for Module 1: 3 hours.
  Module 2: Strategies for Ground and Telecalling Sales
  2.1 Leading Ground Sales Teams
  Ground sales involve face-to-face interactions, common in real estate, retail, or loans in North
  India.
  Strategies:
• Territory Mapping: Assign areas, e.g., dividing Gurgaon for real estate agents.
• Customer Segmentation: Target specific groups, e.g., farmers for tractor loans in
  Haryana.
• In-Person Training: Teach rapport-building, e.g., greeting clients with “Namaste” in
  Rajasthan.
  Real-Life Example: A Chandigarh manager maps territories for field agents, increasing loan
  sales by 25%. Ask CodeMentor: For help, ask, “How do I manage ground sales?”
  Interactive Exercise: Plan a territory map for a five-agent team selling insurance in Delhi.

  2.2 Leading Telecalling Teams
  Telecalling teams require strategies to handle high call volumes and objections.

  hai” for Jaipur.
• Objection Handling: Train teams to address “too costly” with EMI options.
• Motivation: Set daily call targets, e.g., 50 calls per telecaller in Lucknow.
  Real-Life Example: A Kanpur manager trains telecallers to handle objections, boosting
  insurance sales by 20%.
  Interactive Activity: Write a 7-second call script for a telecaller selling education courses in
  Chandigarh. Test it with a friend.
  2.3 Performance Monitoring
  Track team performance using metrics like calls made, deals closed, or conversion rates.
  Tips:

• Feedback Sessions: Provide coaching, e.g., improving pitch delivery for a Noida
  team.
• Incentives: Offer bonuses for top performers, e.g., in a Gurgaon real estate firm.
  Real-Life Example: A Lucknow manager uses daily CRM reports to identify top telecallers,
  increasing team output by 15%.
