Time management and self-organization for sales managers

Make a convincing impression - prioritize - delegate - reduce stress

training
This training is held in German.
The sales environment as a manager is very complex, stressful, and not without conflict, whether it's daily employee management, fixed strategic internal meetings, field service support, your own customer appointments...This is particularly true when dealing with all internal/external customers, where sensitive, empathetic, and often very time-consuming communication and conflict management are required to deal with daily challenges (price increases, delayed incoming/outgoing goods, sick employees, etc.). The goals of this training are to help managers deal with self-organization and time management, set the right priorities, and reflect on and optimize their working methods with AI, etc. Using proven and new methods from motivational psychology (intrinsic motivation), as well as self-organization, time management, and AI, you will quickly build a revised daily and weekly structure that is tailored to you and your everyday life. This will allow you to gain more time for the essentials, switch off, and have less stress and time pressure.
