How Much Time Does A New Sales Manager Have to Turn Around Inside Sales?

Situation:  The company decided the sales slump was lasting too long, and they hired a new sales manager.  Out of all the things that can wrong in sales, the changeover of the sales manager is one of the most common tactics a company tries.
The new manager comes in with promises to turn the situation around, even though he or she probably doesn’t understand what caused it in the first place.  So how much time will it take to turn things around and make the company healthy again?  To answer this we have Trish Bertuzzi of the Bridge Group.  Bertuzzi talks about:
The disease called Founderitis!
Why replacing the sales manager isn’t always the answer!
What is the real problem if sales are down?
Are you selling aspirins and vitamins?
