It is a beautiful thing to witness the start of a business career. We are filled with hope, pride and excitement. In some cases we represent to hope of generations of our relatives because we are the only family college graduate. We want to win and will big, years ago a major corporate giant analyzed their top executives to see what the commonalities for their success were. It was found, in that case, most of the high ranking executives had been a front line sales manager. The outcome was as high potential talents were identified, an action and development plan was put in place. The goal was to get that person ready for front line sales management ASAP.

 Another key career move is proving you can manage managers.

If you have the ability to mange managers it can open the door for your executive career. For sales people it can provide positions outside of sales for career growth. As you consider your career options what positions do you see in your future, and what is the best way for you to get there?

It is ok to not want to move up or change your job. Many people just let things flow, I think you need to plan your career just like you plan your day. Set you goals but decide how to get there. Any thoughts?

I am not real clear what you are asking JIm? Do you want to know long term goals? Do you want to know how we plan to manage others? Do you want to know if we think great sales technicians will be great managers? I am confused and need more information.
