Smart Sales Manager Wins American Association of Inside Sales Professionals Book of the Year
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) April 16, 2014 -- Josiane Feigon’s bestselling book Smart Sales Manager: The Ultimate Playbook for Building and Running a High-Performance Inside Sales Team, was recognized this week as AA-ISP’s Book of the Year. “It’s perfect timing,” said Feigon, a thought leader and industry influencer in inside sales. “Inside sales is exploding right now, and managers need training more than ever.”
Inside sales is now one of the fastest-growing, profit-driving segments of a range of businesses. With companies relying on their inside sales teams to generate up to half of a business’s total revenue, enterprises and startups alike are investing heavily in their inside sales forces. Teams are overflowing with potential, and sales managers are under significant pressure to deliver results fast. But many are top salespeople promoted straight into management, without the formal training, management skills, and high-level strategies they need to guide their teams.
“We’re seeing so many managers who are poised for success yet lack the training and tactics they need to get up to speed fast and motivate their teams,” says Feigon. “Smart Sales Manager gives them real-world insights and insider tips, providing managers with the confidence and tools they need to hire, coach, and lead their sales team to outstanding success.”
“It is an honor to recognize Josiane’s second book, Smart Sales Manager,” said Bob Perkins, Founder and Chairman of AA-ISP.” “Her leadership excellence, the power of persuading us with future sales trends, and her humor and wit carried throughout every chapter makes this an essential read for any sales manager looking to excel in motivating a team and surpassing sales quotas. We applaud Josiane and thank her for her service to our growing profession and community of inside sales representatives, leaders and solution providers.”
This win comes on the heels of significant momentum for Feigon, Author of Smart Sales Manager and Smart Selling on the Phone and Online and President and Founder of TeleSmart Communications. This month she was also named as one of the Top 30 Social Sales People in the World by Forbes Magazine. Feigon has additionally been recognized among the Top 25 Most Influential Leaders in the Inside Sales Industry for three consecutive years, 2010-2012.
