Advice Needed: Balancing the Workload as a Sales Manager

Hey everyone,
I’m looking for some advice on managing my workload as a sales manager. Lately, it feels like I’m being pulled in a million directions—leading the team, managing client relationships, hitting targets, and everything in between. I try to be everywhere, but it’s starting to feel unsustainable.
One challenge I’m facing is figuring out what responsibilities I should handle myself and what I can confidently delegate to my team. For example, I love being involved in the sales process, but I know I can’t (and shouldn’t) micromanage every deal. I’d love to hear how others have struck a balance.
Another thing I’m curious about is how you plan your sales process. Deals can be so unpredictable—one moment it feels like you’re close to closing, and then suddenly something shifts, and you’re back to square one. How do you stay focused and organized without letting the uncertainty derail your strategy?
I’ve been exploring tools and strategies to streamline things, and Automotivaters has been really helpful for some aspects of team management and sales training. But I’m looking for more practical advice on time management, delegation, and planning deals effectively.
If you’ve faced similar challenges, I’d love to hear how you approached them. What’s worked for you, and what should I avoid?
Thanks in advance for your advice—I appreciate it!
