Sprint Sales Coaching
Transform sales managers into leaders who inspire
Effective sales coaching training drives continuous performance improvement
Selling and buying have changed dramatically. Sellers of all backgrounds need the support of a coach to help them find their stride. However, coaching must also change. Periodic, formal sit-down discussions no longer work in a setting of constant disruption. 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. Coaches need an agile approach.

Sprint Sales Coaching Training Program Overview
Introducing Richardson’s Sprint Coaching™ program, an agile approach to sales coaching that aims to make the developmental process iterative and flexible. This approach transforms the traditional role of a manager from being the expert who directs and tells, to being a coach who inspires increased self-motivation to learn, change, and improve results. We enable sales managers to make the necessary shift in mindset to truly commit to coaching. The result is a team of more self-aware, self-reliant, and skilled professionals who take greater ownership for their growth and who more independently meet business goals.
Sprint Coaching™ is a collaborative process where the manager uses questioning to help sellers self-discover and self-assess ways to leverage strengths and continually grow and improve through effective problem-solving. These interactions between managers and sellers result in increased ownership for performance and greater independence and self-reliance for your seller, a stronger relationship between managers and sellers, better problem solving, and improved job performance.
The result is a team of more self-aware, self-reliant, and skilled professionals who take greater ownership of their growth and who more independently meet business goals.

The Sprint Sales Coaching program does this with a framework that includes activities such as:
Sales Coaching Sprints
A sprint is a cycle of Prepare - Engage - Advance that
enables sales managers to help sellers self-discover ways
to leverage their strengths and continually grow through
effective problem-solving.
Sprint Sales Coaching Model
The program trains sales managers to use three models, assess-analyze-address, for effective problem-solving. Managers learn to first assess the current state of their seller's performance to identify positives and opportunities to improve, analyze the root issue that is preventing stronger performance, and then address that root issue with action.
