Cracking the Sales Management Code: The Secrets to Measuring and Managing Sales Performance (BUSINESS BOOKS)
Boost sales results by zeroing in on the metrics that matter most
“Sales may be an art, but sales management is a science. Cracking the Sales Management Code reveals that science and gives practical steps to identify the metrics you must measure to manage toward success.”
―Arthur Dorfman, National Vice President, SAP“Cracking the Sales Management Code is a must-read for anyone who wants to bring his or her sales management team into the 21st century.”
―Mike Nathe, Senior Vice President, Essilor Laboratories of America“The authors correctly assert that the proliferation of management reporting has created a false sense of control for sales executives. Real control is derived from clear direction to the field―and this book tells how do to that in an easy-to-understand, actionable manner.”
―Michael R. Jenkins, Signature Client Vice President, AT&T Global Enterprise Solutions“There are things that can be managed in a sales force, and there are things that cannot. Too often sales management doesn’t see the difference. This book is invaluable because it reveals the manageable activities that actually drive sales results.”
―John Davis, Vice President, St. Jude Medical“Cracking the Sales Management Code is one of the most important resources available on effective sales management. . . . It should be required reading for every sales leader.”
―Bob Kelly, Chairman, The Sales Management Association“A must-read for managers who want to have a greater impact on sales force performance.”
―James Lattin, Robert A. Magowan Professor of Marketing, Graduate School of Business, Stanford University“This book offers a solution to close the gap between sales processes and business results. It shows a new way to think critically about the strategies and tactics necessary to move a sales team from good to great!”
―Anita Abjornson, Sales Management Effectiveness, Abbott LaboratoriesAbout the Book:
There are literally thousands of books on selling, coaching, and leadership, but what about the particulars of managing a sales force? Where are the frameworks, metrics, and best practices to help you succeed?
Based on extensive research into how world-class companies measure and manage their sales forces, Cracking the Sales Management Code is the first operating manual for sales management. In it you will discover:
- The five critical processes that drive sales performance
- How to choose the right processes for your own team
- The three levels of sales metrics you must collect
- Which metrics you can “manage” and which ones you can’t
- How to prioritize conflicting sales objectives
- How to align seller activities with business results
- How to use CRM to improve the impact of coaching
As Neil Rackham writes in the foreword: “There’s an acute shortage of good books on the specifics of sales management. Cracking the Sales Management Code is about the practical specifics of sales management in the new era, and it fills a void.”
Cracking the Sales Management Code fills that void by providing foundational knowledge about how the sales force works. It reveals the gears and levers that actually control sales results. It adds clarity to things that you intuitively know and provides insight into things that you don’t. It will change the way you manage your sellers from day to day, as well as the results you get from year to year.

Crazy, as Usual: Master Your Mental Monkeys & Set Your Brilliance FREE
If you think you’re crazy, you may be right. You’re not alone.“I’m not insane,” Donna Carlson writes, “I’m fully aware I’m crazy. It’s time we talk about the realities of depression and burnout in the workplace. Then we can admit that we’re crazy, as usual, and set our brilliance free.”
Donna has a recurring record of success and self-sabotage in the workplace and in close relationships. Every crash has been linked to the crazymaking voices in her head she calls “the monkeys.” Those cheeky, sarcastic, wily monkeys in your mind can make you crazy with their constant chatter: You’ll never be good enough. You’re alone. What’s wrong with you? Why can’t you think/be like other people?
The monkeys can be your greatest source of wisdom and they can be a thief, trying to kill your opportunities, steal your confidence and destroy your dreams. “I used to think if I could cage the monkeys, they’d lose control over me. Then a friend showed me an even better way,” Donna says. “I’ve learned to pay attention to what the monkeys are telling, then let them know I’ve got it from here.”
Through candid conversations between two close friends in different stages of life—one a mom in her early forties locked in a high-pressured career, the other a retired CEO—Donna:
- Explains how monkeys can undermine workplace success and damage relationships.
- Demonstrates how monkey messages are often rooted in childhood trauma.
- Provides language to discuss the monkeys and their impact on mental health.
- Presents a tested prescription for neurological well-being called the NeuroRx.
- Underscores the ineffaceable value of community and friendship, Fridays at Five.
Join this journey. Make a new friend. Together let’s create more humanity in the workplace.
About the Author
Donna Carlson helps companies create happy customers, from the inside out. She started out as a journalist, then a long career in high-tech PR, where she realized that customer loyalty was less about marketing and more about experience. Instrumental to customer experience is a thriving, happy workforce, which led her to study for a Master of Arts in Global Leadership to cultivate a whole-life leadership program. Her training included three years as a Strategic Business Partner for the Center for Creative Leadership in Colorado Springs, before launching 360 Life Strategies in 2018. Her pandemic shift in 2020, when all her programs had to shut down, was a chief executive role starting a new Chamber of Commerce in Estes Park, leveraging that customer relationship strategy to triple membership in two years. For an encore she led member development in Colorado Springs in 2022 before creating a consulting program that provides customer relationship strategy from the inside out, connecting wellness service providers to catalyze thriving organizations.She lives in Colorado Springs with her husband Jeff and their only son—Riley, the eternal puppy—just looking forward to the next time their three brilliant adult daughters can visit.

Criminal Injuries Compensation: State and Offender Compensation for Violent Crime
The 2012 Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme (CICS) deals with some 33,000 applications for compensation each year. It has, since 1964, been one of the principal means by which the state aims to meet victims’ expectations following an offence of violence, but it also displays a clear doctrinal effort to differentiate ‘deserving’ from ‘undeserving’ victims. Over much of the same period criminal courts and agencies have enjoyed powers to order offenders to pay compensation to their victims, most recently as an element of restorative justice.Split into two parts, Criminal Injuries Compensation is an authoritative analysis of the statutory provisions governing these various remedies. Part One, State Compensation, analyses the Scheme’s defining provisions: what constitutes ‘a criminal injury’, what persons and injuries may be compensated, the rules governing the victim’s own conduct and character, the assessment of the award, and the procedures governing applications, appeals and judicial review. Part Two, Offender Compensation, analyses the conditions under which a criminal court may make a compensation order as an element of its sentencing decision, concluding with the potential of restorative justice to deliver offender compensation to victims. The book also touches on the wider political and criminal justice context of compensation.
Written and edited by an expert academic and practitioner team, Criminal Injuries Compensation is an essential text for all those with an interest in understanding the statutory, judicial and administrative rules that govern state and offender payment of compensation to victims of violent crime.

CROSSROADS: Rugby League’s Greatest Battle
Crossroads – Rugby League’s Greatest Battle is a contrarian and controversial look at rugby league in Australia and the great challenges and threats the code faces into the future.
After the bitter civil war of Super League in the mid 1990s that ripped the heart out of the game, the code was supposed to have a happy ending with the newly merged NRL in 1998 and the creation of the Australian Rugby League Commission (ARLC) in 2012 to govern the code independently, which would enable the code to fight fire with other sports in Australia and allow the sport to finally reach its potential. But that happy ending has eluded the sport and seems further away than ever before, despite the media’s lavish praise for current Chairman Peter V’landys.
Despite rugby league dominating and being the number one sport in both New South Wales and Queensland, with record television ratings, large media deals, solid crowds and extensive media coverage, the game faces great risks to its long-term success, both from within and externally, with threats from the nation’s strongest sport, the AFL.
The outside looks great to most fans, but as Covid exposed the fragilities of the code after years of fiscal mismanagement, only by going deeper do you see the real health of the patient.
Crossroads examines key matters which are not often discussed in today’s agenda-driven and non-independent corporate media, such as leadership, governance, the role of Peter V’landys, country rugby league, financial mismanagement, integrity and ethics, the dangers of today’s media, politics, grassroots, NRL product, expansion, the World Club Challenge and the international game.
Written from the perspective of a long-time fan who is completely independent, it’s a no-nonsense look at the sport and a must read for all who love rugby league.

Culture Map: Decoding How People Think, Lead, and Get Things Done Across Cultures
Whether you work in a home office or abroad, business success in our ever more globalized and virtual world requires the skills to navigate through cultural differences and decode cultures foreign to your own. Renowned expert Erin Meyer is your guide through this subtle, sometimes treacherous terrain where people from starkly different backgrounds are expected to work harmoniously together.
When you have Americans who precede anything negative with three nice comments; French, Dutch, Israelis, and Germans who get straight to the point (“your presentation was simply awful”); Latin Americans and Asians who are steeped in hierarchy; Scandinavians who think the best boss is just one of the crowd–the result can be, well, sometimes interesting, even funny, but often disastrous.
Even with English as a global language, it’s easy to fall into cultural traps that endanger careers and sink deals when, say, a Brazilian manager tries to fathom how his Chinese suppliers really get things done, or an American team leader tries to get a handle on the intra-team dynamics between his Russian and Indian team members.
In The Culture Map, Erin Meyer provides a field-tested model for decoding how cultural differences impact international business. She combines a smart analytical framework with practical, actionable advice for succeeding in a global world.
