When a company has a strong brand the customers will already have considered doing business with your and wish to discuss what you can offer them. The door has already been opened due to hard work in marketing your brand. This gives your sales team a leg up on your competition, as it makes it easier to get a sales interview and even easier to close the sale once the terms and conditions have been ironed out.

Good sales manager always leverage the brand and your sales staff need to also realize that when they sell with your company you do not have to give away the store to compete with the competition on price on each and every sale. The prospects already if given the choice would go with your company over the other simply on strong reputation and brand. How do you know when your brand is that strong? Well simple really.

You as a sales manager will notice the number of incoming inquiries over the number of internal generated leads thru cold calling.
