As a young 22-23 year old working as area sales manager (ASM) how do you handle older employees who’re not ready to accept you as a manager?
This will be tough. Be kind yet firm with them. They’ll fall in line eventually, or trip over and commit an offence enough to be escorted out the door.
You be you, and do your thing.
Thanks :)
Lead the sales calls either through product knowledge or general sales skills, until unless you contribute in their closures & add value , commanding respect would be extremely tough!
You need to command respect from such folks, Figure out few things at work that you can help them with and you’ll win their loyalty.
Got it, thanks
