This new model of Sales Leadership will transform your sales organization.
The genius of Catalyst5 is in the simple presentation of powerful ideas.

If you are in management or want to be in management, whether it’s sales or not, put Catalyst5 at the top of your reading list this year. It will give you a competitive edge.
This book outlines the keys necessary for succeeding in today's competitive sales environment. The storyline is both witty and practical providing clear value to those seeking to grow their sales career.
Catalyst5 is a powerful and entertaining read. Quick and straightforward but at the same time quite profound in its clarity of logic and narrative style. The “five roles of the sales leader” provides an elegant structure for breaking down the core competencies of a sales manager to make clear what is expected of anyone who has assumed those responsibilities or dreams of doing so. Congratulations on creating a highly effective platform for creating and inspiring the next generation of sales leaders
Catalyst5 Making the Leap from Sales Manager to Sales LEADER reminds me of my days as a sales manager. I wish I had this information when I started that job back in the early nineties! I like that it reads like a story, clearly covering the essential elements of sales management. It is a quick read and focuses on the most relevant information. The five roles of the sales manager are brilliant.
Wow! You hit the nail exactly on the head! In all of my years as a sales professional, sales manager, and branch manager in IBM; Sales Transformation Consultant; and now owner of my own sales and distribution company, I have never seen the “complete package” laid out in such a logical and compelling model. I also found the “story” approach very refreshing because you brought the principles to “life” and in terms we all relate to from our past, as well as the issues and challenges we face today. This was not just a refresher for me; it was a “wake-up call.”
