Lee B. Salz is the Founder and CEO of Sales Architects. A leading sales management strategist, Lee specializes in helping companies hire the right sales people, onboard them effectively and efficiently and align their activities with the needs of the business. Using his sales architecture methodology, his clients migrate from being people-based to process-based leading to explosive, profitable growth.
For over 20 years, Lee has guided companies in building high-performance sales organizations that sell to consumers, corporations and the government; for companies ranging from the Fortune 1000 to small firms. An authority on sales management, Lee has helped companies differentiate seemingly commoditized products and services - in both complex and transactional sales - resulting in record revenues and profits.
Soar Despite Your Dodo Sales Manager (WBusiness Books), Lee award-winning book, presents his sales architecture methodology. Inspired by a disturbing trend in business, the chasm between sales people and their sales managers, he saw the power in bridging the gap. He recognized that businesses were losing millions of dollars due to underperforming sales people which could be remedied through process. Salz consults with companies to improve sales performance through his sales architecture methodology - part of his process-based migration strategy.
