Sales Team Transformation thru Coaching

Sales Team Transformation thru Coaching

Question to the Coach:
"I am running short of ideas and methods to motivate and develop my sales team. Performance has been flat for quite a while and with the current economic condition, it is dipping very quickly. I wonder whether coaching could be the new method that I should invest in to know more about it and how to use it to transform my team. What would be a compelling reason for taking the coaching route?

The Coach says..
Coaching is indeed the way to go in today's fast-paced and competitive world. It is about staying on top of the game. It is the "glue" that keeps a team together because everyone is involved when they are being coached; thinking, challenging themselves and finding their own solutions to sales issues that impact on their performance. Coaching empowers people to seek continuous i

The Bottom Line..
Get into a coaching programme that teaches you coaching skills with a clear process to coach. Then create a sales coaching system in your sales department and enroll your sales people to be part of it.

Powerful Questions...

  • What skill gaps do your sales people have today?
  • How can you make them self aware that these gaps will prevent them from being better performers?
  • What can you do to engage them to co-create solutions together?
  • What will make you continually be on the coaching route to make coaching a part of your organizational culture?

Are your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?" Please call for a free strategy session at 219.759.5601. - Visit Leanne Hoagland-Smith's Website
