Today’s sales managers face a tough challenge. They must be more productive than ever while relying more on partners and technology with reduced resources in the field. And with fewer, larger customers, every decision becomes more important -- and riskier. The Sales Manager’s Success Manual provides the critical information sales managers need to succeed in this increasingly difficult job. 
Covering fundamental sales management topics including compensation, forecasting, and motivation, along with more advanced topics such as dealing with internal politics, understanding generational issues, managing up, and developing intuition, the book shows readers how to: 
 * hire the best sales force * foresee potential surprises * help reps make better decisions * save time and resources * target accurately for better results * work with the CEO and the rest of the company 
Packed with savvy advice, enlightening case studies, and no-nonsense know-how, The Sales Manager’s Success Manual is a one-of-a-kind book no sales manager should be without.

Walden Today is about creating personal freedom and making a living in a time where there is less job security, fewer jobs, less trust in government and corporations--and more need to rely on yourself to survive. It is a survival manual for avoiding a life of what Thoreau called "quiet desperation" in depressing economic times. Historically the American Dream was a given that every person who worked hard, who was ethical, financially prudent and self-reliant could achieve a life of relative comfort and security while leaving a modest legacy to their children. Today American Dream has become shattered and most Americans believe that it is now out of reach. 1. In our jobs: dissatisfaction,discouragement, insecurity 2. In our personal lives: a quiet desperation that we cannot improve our situation Walden Today provides an answer to: How To Change What You Do Into What You'd Rather Be Doing. • The solution is to live more deliberately to gain more autonomy (freedom and independence). • We can live deliberately by applying Thoreau's seven principles of living and working: 1. Be true to yourself 2. Network to grow and survive 3. Life is short, so enjoy it by living simply to stay free 4. Become Self Reliant: Do it yourself 5. Adapt to changes in life by continually learning and trying new ideas 6. Take advantage of the conveniences and opportunities of the age 7. Work deliberately Interestingly, there are striking parallels to America 150 years ago. They were worried about an environmental warming crisis. They were worried about ever growing, big spending national government. They were living through a huge real estate bubble that popped and took half the banks with it because of "sub prime loans". There was credit deflation and few jobs. Overnight America was in a depression called the Panic of 1837. Most importantly, Thoreau dealt with the number one question all of us still ask today: How can I make a living and still have the freedom to do what I'd really like to do?
