Comparison: Managing Without Data vs Managing with OMG
Sales managers should spend 50% of their time coaching, yet in reality this figure averages only 25%.This gap explains why many teams fail to reach their full performance potential.
What is OMG Sales Manager Assessment?
OMG Sales Manager Assessment (SMA) is a leadership evaluation tool developed by Objective Management Group to support management development and promotion decisions. The assessment includes 200 questions and is calibrated with a database of more than 2 million sales professionals. It identifies strengths and development areas across three core management dimensions:
WILL TO MANAGE
Measures an individual’s motivation and commitment to effectively lead a sales team.
TACTICAL
Measures tactical competencies required throughout the sales management cycle, including pipeline oversight, coaching, and execution discipline.
SALES DNA
Measures belief systems and behavioral patterns that either support or limit success in sales leadership.
