In this episode, John Kaplan and John McMahon talk through each
stage of sales management and the important responsibilities that
must be mastered at each role.

From first-line manager to second-line to VP of Sales and all the
way up to the CRO, they tackle the key responsibilities at each
role and the key factors that go into coaching and developing
their teams at every stage. It’s a great discussion on how these
leadership roles intertwine with the ultimate goal of building a
system for revenue success.
