Developing Sales Leaders: Benchmarks Reveal Tactics that Will Propel You...( CHAPEL HILL N.C. April 14 /- For ...)

CHAPEL HILL, N.C., April 14 /PRNewswire/ -- For 88 percent of companies, front-line and mid-level leaders participate in sales leadership development programs, which cover a variety of development skills but focus strongly on techniques for leading, influencing and coaching others.

Yet only half of executive-level sales leaders attend the programs, perhaps due to having received previous leadership development and training, according to a member-driven research study conducted by Best Practices, LLC's GLOBAL BENCHMARKING COUNCIL.
