Doug Gilkey and Sean Nappo joined us to talk about what it takes to move into the sales management role and how to do it. They shared some tips for first-time managers, as well.

Sean and Doug are two amazing leaders from great organizations. They sat down with us to talk about how individual contributors can break into management and knowing when that's right for them. One of the best things they discussed was how clear you have to know that it's the right path for you. It isn't just about being the best salesperson (though they definitely mention that you need to be hitting your numbers!), but also about your passion to help others grow.
