Why Sales Managers Need Coach Training

All sellers need coaching to succeed in today's dynamic sales landscape. Sales coaching is crucial for nurturing and developing the skills, performance, and mindset of sales professionals. However, sales managers' approach to coaching must evolve to match the modern landscape of buying and selling.

Traditional one-on-one sessions no longer work in a setting of constant disruption. Sales coaching must be ongoing. It must help sellers quickly develop skills in the field. Incremental growth is key to lasting change and adaptation in the moment. Sales coaches need an agile approach.

Our Approach to Sales Coaching

Sprint Coaching™ is a collaborative process where managers use questioning tactics to help sellers self-assess ways to use their strengths to solve problems and continually grow as sales professionals. The outcome is a team of self-reliant, skilled professionals who take greater ownership of their growth and meet business goals independently – ultimately leading to improved job performance.

To accomplish this, the Sprint Coaching™ programme teaches these key tactics:

Sales Coaching Sprints: A sprint is a cycle of Prepare-Engage-Advance that helps sales managers guide sellers to self-discover ways to use their strengths and continuously improve through effective problem-solving.

Sprint Sales Coaching Model: Sales managers are trained to use an Assess-Analyse-Address model to coach sellers more effectively. They assess current performance, analyse root issues preventing stronger performance, and address those root issues with action.
