Hello fellow War-Roomers.
I wanted to hear some thoughts around what professional development looks like in a sales role.
For context, I am a senior AE looking to transition to management, been with the company for nearly 3 years, and have taken over managerial responsibilities while our manager was down with COVID for 6 months. (long COVID)
Now that our manager is back, I have no opportunity to develop my managerial skills day to day as our management team have NO time to run PD opportunities internally.
I wonder if other AEs who have transitioned in to management, or even sales managers themselves, have received external PD from their companies to help them further their career.
Does your company provide you with external professional development opportunities? What does that look like? Did you have to ask for the professional development to be provided, or is it built in to your company structure that it is provided to all?
Looking forward to hearing from you monsters
