Sorry, I do not agree with Mr Tabrez Ahmed.

While reporting is important in any department, from your answer I feel reporting is more important than selling, or prospecting.

Sales team job is selling, so much control is frustrating an demotivating and make you feel over controlled in such a way as if the company doesn't trust you. I tend to demand minimum reporting and collect the data my self by GOING OUT WITH THE SALES TEAM, I like to visit customers with sales team, so I can see their daily work, the challenges they find, the difficulties they face, and how can the company help them selling or the product be improved. Also in some cases, I support and help them in difficult projects or important accounts.

I trust my team and I know they work hard and I train them to do it right, otherwise, I fire that member of the staff.

Sales manager must SELL, be in contact with customers, go outside and see what's going on.
