Been there done that - being a top producer does not make you a great canidate to manage people. Especially winey sales people.

Management used to mean something, now I think it's an outlet for blame, especially in sales.

In my career - I think one of the best jobs I had was when I was just responsible for my own territory. No drama, I knew my customers well, I had a large territory and a nice income. I've managed all the way from 2-3 sales people up to 9 - currently have a sales and operations staff of 45 and think I waste 1/2 my time with adult day care issues.
