About Outsources Sales Management Services, LLC:
Teresa Renaud has been providing sales success for over 25 years. While most of her career has been in technology solution sales, she believes it’s the discipline and process that provides the winning advantage for great sales success regardless of the solution type.  
Through Outsourced Sales Management Services, Teresa is now helping small business owners that are suffering from a dis-economy of scale making it hard for them to afford expert services like a Sales Manager when they only have a small team. This is a perfect solution for those businesses who are experiencing an underperforming sales team and/or an outdated sales and marketing system.  Many times, the business owner is still trying to “half-manage” the team and system, or has hired someone they could afford, but then find out the “pro” skill set is lacking. Another common mistake that often leads to poor revenue performance is to promote the “Rockstar” salesperson to both manage and sell, and subsequently does neither very well.
