Great salespeople aren’t born—they’re made. And it all starts with solid coaching 💯 But here’s the catch: while many leaders think they’ve nailed it, nearly half of reps are still struggling with retention and capacity. Consistent coaching = 32% higher win rates and 28% better quota attainment. But sales managers are only spending 21% of their time coaching 😬 That’s where Outreach’s Smart Kaia Coach steps in. This AI-powered tool helps managers coach smarter and faster, all while keeping that personal touch. With the Topics Report, you can track trends in buyer-seller chats, pinpoint where reps need help, and spot new coaching moments.

Sales managers, feeling stretched thin with barely enough time to coach your reps? You’re not alone. But here’s the hard pill to swallow: Rep performance only improves with real coaching on the fundamentals—and that’s tough to deliver when time and insights are short. That’s exactly why AI-based coaching is a game-changer. And who better than John Barrows (Founder of JB Sales and coach to countless sales superstars) and Deren R. to break down how it fills the void traditional coaching leaves behind. Mark your calendars for 20th November, 1pm EST. It’s going to be mind-blowing (but in the best, most productive way possible) https://lnkd.in/gByhiF7k

Sales reps learn best from their peers, which is why it is important to create a coaching culture in your organization. But that peer feedback only makes a difference if it’s substantive. Reps are relying on their coaches to give quality, actionable feedback that’s more than a thumbs up or a “great job!” Everyone learns more from a red pen than they do from a gold star, but not all coaches realize that right away. Coaches (and the sales enablement teams they work with) need insight into their own methods in order to improve — especially if they’re new to the practice. That's why we have a Coach Insights panel on our Sales Scorecards. Need help coaching your coaches? Get in touch!

Coaching can be a critical component to your training and readiness programs - not just from an efficiency standpoint, but to foster a culture of support professional development. Peer-to-peer learning is an often overlooked benefit.

𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝗘𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗹𝘆? 🤔 Welcome to another episode of Coaching the Coach! 🎙️ Today, we're tackling a common mistake many sales reps make when kicking off their calls. 🏒 Often, we think there’s a magic formula for icebreakers. But guess what? There aren’t any! The real goal isn't to break the ice—it's to gain agreement on a customer-focused purpose. 🔑 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀: • ❌ Avoid opening with product pitches—like asking if you can discuss your new inventory software. This approach often leads to a dead-end. • ✅ Instead, start with insightful questions, such as: "Can we discuss the inventory problem you mentioned last time?" This keeps the customer engaged from the start. Remember, one size does NOT fit all. Each call is unique, and your opening should reflect that! Please encourage your team to prioritize solid pre-call planning to create successful openings. 💪 Let's empower our sales teams to convert calls into meaningful conversations! 💥 If this information is valuable, please like, comment, and share your thoughts! To dive deeper, feel free to request a free copy of my book, The Level 5 Coaching System, by messaging me direct. 📚 Until next week, remember: great selling requires great coaching! 🚀 #SalesStrategy #Coaching #SalesLeadership #CustomerEngagement #Level5Coaching #SalesExcellence

🥁 The wait is over 🥁 The State of Sales Coaching 2025 brought to you by MySalesCoach x Aircall is finally here! This has been in the works for a while and trust me, the results will shock you. What is to be the largest ever survey on sales coaching, the findings are more revealing than we could have imagined. Here’s just a few of the things we've discovered: 👉 Sales reps are being seriously let down - both in the quantity and quality of coaching they receive. 👉 There’s a big disconnect between what sales leaders think they’re delivering and what reps actually feel they’re getting. 👉 Reps are moving away from traditional 1:1s with their managers and are craving real skills development instead. 👉 When given the choice, sales reps would prefer external coaches over internal resources. For any sales team struggling to hit targets, this report should be a big a wake up call. The solution might be right there, you just need to rethink your coaching approach. I would highly suggest diving into the report for trends and data that could really help transform your coaching strategy. You can grab a copy of the report here - https://lnkd.in/ewhCk3zU

A Visionary Learning & Development Leader Igniting Potential in Individuals and Organisations.
🚀 The Secret Ingredient of a Winning Sales Training Program 💡 In sales, it’s not just about what you sell—it’s about how you connect. The secret ingredient of a successful sales training program isn’t just role plays, objection handling, or even product knowledge. It’s emotional intelligence. EQ empowers your sales teams to listen actively, empathize genuinely, and build trust effortlessly. In a world flooded with solutions, the one who understands the customer best stands out. 🌟 But here’s the twist: Emotional intelligence isn’t taught; it’s cultivated through practice, coaching, and a culture of empathy. When salespeople learn to focus on people, not just profits, results naturally follow. 📈 What’s the most underrated skill you think every salesperson should master? Drop your thoughts below! 💬 👉 Follow me, Coach Ganesh Chandrasekaran, for more insights to elevate your people and performance! #SalesTraining #EmotionalIntelligence #LeadershipDevelopment #CorporateLearning #SalesSuccess #LifelongLearning #CoachingCulture #GrowthMindset #EdTech #FutureOfWork

What if you could "clone" your best rep? What if you could isolate each of your reps' individual strengths and apply them to the rest of your team? This is more doable than you might think....and it'll have a massive impact on your sales team's performance. Interested? Join Kyle Vamvouris tomorrow (Thursday) at 11 am PT for a complete walkthrough!
You want your sales team to succeed. Your sales reps want to succeed. So why do so many teams struggle? I think there's one core challenge that sales managers and leaders have to solve: 👉 How do you balance TEAM coaching vs INDIVIDUAL coaching? You need both. Your team will give you overall performance data...but it'll mask your reps' individual strengths and weaknesses. Looking at your reps' solo performance data will give you a ton of information, but how do you actually use it effectively to improve the team? The answer's actually pretty simple... You need a scorecard system. If you build your scorecards the right way, you'll have a framework to analyze individually AND across your team. This is how you can "clone" your best rep. When you do this, you can: ✅ Identify your top rep per area/skill. ✅ Identify your reps' relative strengths and weaknesses. ✅ Make small, steady, measurable improvements over time. This'll give your reps: 🚀 A clear structure to follow. 🚀 Accountability & transparency. 🚀 A clear sense of where they're doing well vs areas to work on. If you can do this, you'll have a consistent coaching framework that levels up your reps individually AND directly impacts your team's performance. Want to see the exact framework we use to do this? Kyle Vamvouris is sharing everything tomorrow (Thursday 4/11) at 11 am PT. You'll see our complete scorecard system for discovery calls and demos and how to use it yourself with your team. Registration link is in the comments!
