"Tales From the Passenger Seat: A Sales Manager's Journey" is a podcast by a sales manager for sales managers. Meghan Clarke interviews other sales managers, executives, coaches, and professionals to reveal best practices, tactics to overcome times of struggle, strategies for team success, and real-life lessons to help any sales manager or professional in their position, regardless of tenure or title. Why the title "Tales From the Passenger Seat"? Most outside sales managers would say the most memorable time they spend with their team members is riding in the passenger seat of their cars during field visits. It certainly has been for me. Whether it is the coaching, sharing of best practices, or overall experience of learning from one another, professionally or personally, no one can dispute that these times in the passenger seat, whether literally or metaphorically, are filled with tremendous meaning. Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote, "It's not about the destination; it's about the journey." The same can be said for a manager; it is not about the title, the money, or the power. It is about the people: the people and the opportunity to be part of their journies. After these podcasts, you will feel inspired and more knowledgeable by these fellow sales managers, executives, and leaders whom Meghan admires. Also, hopefully, you will share a few relatable laughs about the wild ride of working in the unpredictable but meaningful field of people management.
