10 avisPrincipaux examens pour Account Management & Sales Force Design
It pretty well structured, I work in sales for a couple of years and the course has helped me to realize how bad I have been leading a sales team.
This course gave me a better understanding of what a sales force manager does and the expectations of a manager / director.
