She concludes that the advantages of including and training a project manager in the sales team only bring advantages to companies that do not want to be left behind in the race to find customers. “I see five points as results obtained by the company by investing in a project manager: being proactive with orders, influencing customer decision, optimizing results, correct alignment of new sales expectations and good delivery, ensuring that doors are opened for future business,” forehead.
