So How Did the Yankees Win the World Series Anyway?

The Yankees are consistent, proven winners

In a recent discussion on LinkedIn,
 What are the skills that a Sales Manager/Director should have in order to succeed to hit his targets during this recession? 
sales managers said they want::

• COACHING,
• LEADERSHIP and VISION,
• TRAINING,
• COMMUNICATION
• SYSTEMS/PROCESS,
• DATA ANALYSIS
• CORPORATE ALIGNMENT

I respectfully suggest all of the above are nice.

Yet, first and foremost do like the Yankees and recruit the best players.

Going forward, start thinking like the manager of the New York Yankees. Think about getting the best salespeople.
