The Traits of a Fine Manager

One myth about direct selling is that some people are innately good at it while some people just aren’t born with the stuff that makes the product sell. That’s not true. In fact, the best salesmen are those who don’t rely on instincts alone and would a rather use a formula shined through hours and hours of practice. Wherever this myth came from, the truth is that selling really requires a lot of attention to polish those conversation tactics and sales pitches. Using instincts alone is good and would always prove useful but that strategy is erratic and could sometimes leave the customer with a bad after taste.

Managers don’t exactly need software like those programs for channel management services to properly adhere to the needs of their channels just the same as direct sellers don’t need to solely rely on instincts.

As manager who are over reliant to technology forget, the ability to know, classify, balance and improve on the basic procedures of management, along with the comprehension of the company’s situation, can be good enough to push the company the greater heights. It’s how we combine the skills we have. If lacking, then add some. After that, multiply. There’s never a subtraction because we can just bank the skill. If it becomes dull, then just sharpen it or replace it with something better. This applies to all kinds of businesses. The ability to motivate people is the ability to move effectively as a group and make things happen. This is the golden rule of management.

Using technology is a definitely a good managing method but this could also work against the company as I have previously learned about when I became dependent on some company’s software focusing on channel management services.

A fine manager is one that knows the needs, weaknesses, and opportunities his current circumstance lacks and provides. To understand which goal to direct and how specifically the company is going to get there is a trait of good administering, one that should be always taught and trained to managers. Keeping a check on his people while being sympathetic to their position should be a must learn. Communication is vital and earning the trust of the employees is even more crucial. If this is to be achieved, the company can expand, grow and be more flexible.
