01. Sales Management
As a business owner how many hats do you wear in a day? More than likely, when you started your business, the title of Sales Manager or VP of Sales was far from your mind. Here at Tidewater Solutions Group we will establish a robust sales framework within your business, with a focus on increasing sales and profit margins but more importantly we can take the day-to-day management of the sales team off your plate until a sales infrastructure has been established and either you or a sales leader is ready to step into the role full time. Here's a sample breakdown of how key deliverables can be achieved using Tidewater Solutions Group Sales Management services:

This should reduce unnecessary noise for the owner allowing him/her to focus on other critical areas of the business. By focusing on key deliverables and continually refining your sales plan, processes, and team, Tidewater Solutions Group can help position your business for success in increasing sales and profit margins.
