The Frontline Manager Multiplier

What if you could boost the performance of your entire sales team by changing the way you invest in manager development? While most organizations focus their training dollars on sellers, it’s the frontline managers who have the broadest impact on results. When managers know how to coach, drive performance, and reinforce change, their influence multiplies across every seller they lead.

Join SBI’s Ray Makela and Dave Lingebach as they dig into why frontline manager training deserves a top spot on every CRO’s priority list. Dave shares new research revealing a clear performance gap between companies that invest in manager training and those that do not. The conversation unpacks why frontline leadership requires a different skill set than selling, what separates coaching from performance management, and why manager readiness is critical for technology adoption and playbook success.

Key Talking Points:

• Why frontline managers create a multiplier effect across seller performance
• How dedicated manager training relates to higher quota attainment
• Why strong sellers do not always become strong managers
• How coaching and performance management call for different conversations
• Why playbooks and new tools stall when managers are not ready to reinforce them
