Coaching Salespeople into Sales Champions: A Tactical Playbook for Managers and Executives Book

How many salespeople (and managers) are not realizing their fullest potential? What stands in the way to greater performance isn't something they don't have but something they don't get consistently: effective coaching . Unfortunately; most managers don't deliver consistent, effective coaching or have the coaching skills needed to make a long term, positive impact on their salespeople's performance. They act as Chief Problem Solvers and get far too involved in fixing their people's problems; then get frustrated about their salespeople's inability to improve.

Sales training alone is not enough . Your people can't always diagnose their own skill deficiencies, nor can they coach themselves out of a slump. Managers focus on spreadsheets and treat symptoms instead of uncovering the root cause , so similar problems persist. Good coaching taps into people's individuality and motivation, builds confidence & fosters deeper accountability. Four main barriers to effective coaching that inhibits consistent sales growth are: 1. Managers focus on what's going on (unproductive behaviors/activity) but don't uncover exactly why it's happening. As such, they fail to get to the root cause of a situation, which results in costly, time consuming repetitive conversations. 2. Managers coach in their own image (It worked for me) instead of tapping into people's individuality. 3. Managers are compelled to provide the quick answers rather than empower people to create their own solutions . 4. Managers are typically good at strategy but often struggle with being a strategic communicator . That is, delivering a compelling, engaging message that creates authentic buy in and commitment around any changes or new initiatives. The solution to winning more sales isn't more sales training but better coaching. Good coaching embeds and sustains the behavioral changes you want in your people that generates desired, sustained long term results.
