[Video Recording]

Take a Deep Dive into your Sales Manager Type

In this Sales Shot, Lauren Bailey is bringing our sales manager quiz to life with special guest Brad Truran, Sr. Sales Advisor at Factor 8. Together, LB and Brad will walk through the different manager types, the strengths and potential blind spots of each, and the tactical advice they wish someone had shared earlier.

Whether you’re brand new to the role, a few years in and still wondering if you’re doing it right, leading a team of managers, or thinking about stepping into leadership for the first time, this session will give you real talk, practical tools, and tactical tips to help you lead more effectively based on your style.

You’ll learn:

  • The strengths and potential blind spots of each manager type
  • Real-world advice for surviving (and succeeding) as a sales manager 
  • Tips and tools to help every type thrive
  • How to ask for the training and support you need
  • How to use your style to build trust, coach better, and hit team goals

Perfect for:

  • Sales Managers looking for helpful tips and techniques to grow
  • Reps or team leaders ready to step into leadership
  • Leaders who want to better support their managers

About Factor 8

Factor 8 is an award-winning inside sales training company focused 100% on helping sales teams sell in a virtual world. Together we’ve solved the big problem: sales reps and managers are not gaining the skills they need to quickly feel confident and successful long-term. That means they ramp slowly and leave quickly. We’ve made the calls, done the demos, managed the teams, and forecasted the deals. We get you. We have a better way to ensure teams hit higher revenue goals faster. It’s all we do, and we love it. You’ll love the payoff.
