I speak to so many reps who tell me that their boss offers zero feedback (unless they're screwing up).
So how does a sales rep create "coaching moments" with not only their boss but;
Coworkers
Clients
Prospects
And even self coaching moments too?
Oh, and this is how we can dramatically improve our results this year!
In this week's episode of The Sales Playbook Podcast, we're gonna go there!
EVERYONE Needs A Coach!
I am NOT your typical coach!
I work with my clients in a very different way than traditional coaches!
A traditional coach will ask you lots of questions, and lead you on a path of self-discovery – while providing you with very little of what experts refer to as "answers!"
By the time people reach out to me, they have lots of questions of their own and could sure use some answers. That's why I created a very different coaching format.
Here's what our time together would look like:
- We'll start off with a quick update from you. I'll want to know what you've been up to, what's challenging you, opportunities you're in front of etc so we can brainstorm.
- Next, we're going to have some accountability by reviewing the action items from our last session.
- We'll then dive right into either a sales lesson I've prepared for you or brainstorming a challenge or opportunity you're facing.
- We'll conclude the session with you telling me what you feel your action items should be. My job is to make sure you aren't babying yourself while at the same time, aren't working yourself into an early grave!
- Each session is approximately 45 minutes.
And YES, I coach sales leadership on everything from hiring sales rock stars, onboarding them, training them, coaching them, how to have killer sales team meetings, creating a performance culture etc!
Between Sessions
- I'll ask you to email me an update on your progress. You'll receive feedback and additional email support. Our relationship will always extend beyond that time when the proverbial "meter is running."
You'll also receive occasional reinforcement emails, content etc from me.
What Makes Me Unique
For starters, I'm not one of these reps who sold for like 15 minutes and decided to get out and do something "safer," I've been actively selling for 30+ years.
And I'm not someone who only cares about his paycheck turning the other way while you slack.
I recognize that no matter how great a training event might be, there needs to be a reinforcement component in order for training to 'stick!'
In my program we work – and you're going to sweat.
I take my job as your coach seriously and I insist you take your time with me seriously too.
Not ready to make that kind of commitment?
Then stop here and do some soul searching!
Ready to make that commitment?

There's this phrase that many people criticize leadership for making;
We've always done it this way!

The amount of time the average sales rep spends selling is pretty low!
According to a study from insidesales.com it's roughly 36.6%!
In this week's episode of The Sales Playbook Podcast, I'm going to attempt to dissect WHY I believe this to be true and;
I'm going to share some additional stats that might surprise the hell out of you!

We're coming up on that time of year where many a sales rep will be setting their 2019 goals and;
Many thought leaders will be beating the hell out of tired advice like setting "S.M.A.R.T." goals.
