A sales team can have the best product and the most attractive pricing, and still miss its targets — because numbers alone do not motivate people, leadership does. Managers who understand how to lead, not just supervise, are the ones who consistently turn a group of individual sellers into a high-performing team.

Offered by the Arab British Fellowship Training Academy, this course builds that leadership capability from the ground up: setting goals, managing time, reading performance data, motivating people under pressure, and communicating in a way that keeps a sales team focused on results in a competitive market.
