Richardson Sales Performance and Training Industry, Inc. conducted a comprehensive study on how organizations across industries are supporting sales coaching. The study focuses on how effective coaching programs create leadership alignment, build communication plans, and develop measurement strategies for their learning programs.

Companies that participated in the study completed a survey reporting their companies’ use of coaching programs in support of sales personnel. The research report outlines the key findings from the study, and based on the results, recommends seven best practices for implementing a successful sales coaching program.

By comparing effective and non-effective coaching programs, the study provides key best practices around sales coaching structure, coaching cadence, and coaching roles and responsibilities. In addition, the survey takes a look at generational influences on coaching and how successful coaching programs adapt to generational shifts in their workforce. The research study helps to define coaching best practices in effective sales organizations. In addition, the research also illustrates how vital it is for sales coaches to interact with their teams in a way that emphasizes their sales team member’s strengths and performance, as well as provides advice and on-the-job learning.
