How do I hit my number through a team instead of selling myself?

You became the field sales manager. Now you have to hit a number through a team, instead of doing the closing you were the best at. That is a real loss dressed up as a promotion, and if you feel it, you are not being ungrateful. You are noticing that your favorite skill just got put on the shelf. The frustration underneath is a kind of powerlessness. You knew exactly how to win a deal yourself. Now you have to win them through other people who do not do it your way, and you cannot just take the wheel. Learning to trust that indirect control is one of the hardest turns anyone makes in a career. It is genuinely hard, so go easy on yourself for finding it hard. Your new job is not to close every deal; it is to make closers. That is a different craft, and you already have the raw material for it, you know what winning looks like. Pour that into coaching one rep at a time: ride along, show, do not just tell, and let the win be theirs. And keep your own hand in a few key deals so the part of you that loves closing still gets fed. Pick one rep to develop deeply this quarter. You are not losing your edge. You are teaching it to a whole team.
