It pretty well structured, I work in sales for a couple of years and the course has helped me to realize how bad I have been leading a sales team.

This course covers everything you need to know about sales force management. However, I am having a hard time getting everything graded to show the class is complete

Great course only issue is you really have to chase others to review your assignments and it get really annoying.. it can take sometime before you even get noticed. :(

It provides a good overview of the subject matter, helps to gain a general understanding of this important topic on sales.

Monotonous instructor, outdated materials, and incorrect quiz answers.
Already discouraged with the peer grading process. Not sure I want to continue. I'm too busy to resubmit assignments because a random number is picked (it doesn't even average the points given by peers). There is no way to contest the grade or request a re-grade other than to spend another hour redoing the assignment.
Also don't feel like I am learning much so far. It's mostly a bunch of links to short articles that don't seem to match the topics in the videos and have a lot of pop-ups and/or bad links. At least one link doesn't work for each week of the class. The assignments attempt to tie back to the data, but it's hard to work in the data except in concept (which is an issue if the peers grading don't have a grasp on the concept to know that you correctly wrote a mission and vision per the guidelines laid out in the video). I actually think assignments should be designed in a way to demonstrate a handle on the concepts taught, but if a peer grader doesn't grasp the concept and is only looking for regurgitated data points, getting a passing grade is impossible.
Hard to believe Coursera charges a lot of money for this course.
This course basically helps me to understand sales, marketing concepts and improve analytical skills in sales field and how to work as salesperson.
Great course only issue is you really have to chase others to review your assignments and it get really annoying.. it can take sometime before you even get noticed. :(
Very basic and require an extensive amount of peer-reviewed activities, without having enough student volume, so there were pending peer-reviewing work from 2 years ago, which means that the certificate was not issued to the student.
Course is so much basic, and full of readings that i can get anywhere else.
I feel that I didn't get as much expected from the course.
This course provided a strong foundational understanding of the sales function within a business (Sales history, inside vs outside sales, what is sales operation / sales strategy etc.). The rest of the learning has to be on the job. One recommendation that I have is to do a real life in-depth case study of a "buying centre" in for a private organisation and a public organisation. I think more detail in this area will make it closer to real life.
The program was well designed, really liked the activities and assignments.The concepts well explained and covered. Reference link were excellent most of the time, but one or two links dint have targeted content.The professors language is easy to understand and very clear. Thank you.
This is an excellent course! The course is a combination of coursework, peer-peer review, quizzes, and discussion forum. The facilitators are amazing with the presentations. Life interviews with industry experts on the topics covered are in-depth and fascinating.
Well, Its a Wonderful course and related to my job profile. I learnt a lot from this course and developed many skills as required in the industry. Its where you can sharpen and Groom your abilities and identify the corrective measures.
This course gave me a better understanding of what a sales force manager does and the expectations of a manager / director.
Lost some stars because of the peer review grading especially in the last module. You receive a grade with zero feedback especially when they really did not evaluate the answers. Further when you re-submit it know is around to grade it in a timely fashion nor can you speak to anyone live.
Very good introduction course
Maybe my expectations were too high after some of the other courses here. The teachers talk way too much about themselves and their university, than about the topics of the course. Instead of well prepared and interesting to listen presentations from their university courses you only see the teacher talking, or they only reference other online articles and TED talks. The peer assignments and tests are close to a joke - I even got my own homework in the peer rating process and so far all the test questions were so generic you could answer them without any reading/listening. Not sure if I finish this course.
Very dull instructors, who don't ask the right questions in their interviews. The interviews are likely the best part but the videos in general are a real struggle to get through - find myself reading the transcript rather than watching the video because I know I'll get more out of it.
Content was outdated, links to articles didnt work and there was no one who could assist or get back to me.
This course is bad, it is mainly an ego-trip made by teacher talking about them and brainwashing to look for validation. I have a swiss governemental diploma in sales and retail management so I know what I mean.
This is the worst course I have enrolled, the explanation and valuable information is not covering the big concept of account management and the assessment system is not effective and fair..
unable to open it in other syystems due to which unable to submit assignments in deadline now we have to pay again after 95% completion of course what is this
Terrible course, clearly a group of marketing teachers with 0 actual experience in sales.
