District Managers are actually in the best position to help you get more sales, especially if you are new to the territory or you only got 90% sales versus target and you're finding it difficult to get more. They have inside knowledge of where to get sales in your territory or how to upsell. That's why you should always ask for a work-with if you are on a sales drive.
I fondly remember my first boss. She was a very good sales person and an ideal boss. She's a very assertive person and knows the ins and out of my territory. We would go on sales-drives and manage to double the orders from drugstores and dispensing doctors. Her skills are something that is not taught in training sessions and can only be learned through experience and mentoring.
So guys, don't be afraid to ask for your manager's help even if there are no scheduled fieldwork in your area. It is part of her responsibility to help, assist and guide you. After all, your productivity reflects theirs. You just have to ensure that you have exhausted all efforts and asking her is the last resort. You also need to ensure that there's ample time for them to assist you.
