Since they don&#8217;t know how to coach they either effectively &#8211; don&#8217;t do it, or do it poorly.<\/li>\n<li>Senior leadership doesn&#8217;t buy into the importance of coaching, so the organization doesn&#8217;t have a coaching culture.<\/li>\n<li>The managers themselves don&#8217;t see the value, so they don&#8217;t do it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.omghub.com\/salesdevelopmentblog\/latest-data-on-sales-coaching-is-worse-than-pathetic?utm_campaign=partner&amp;utm_source=265&amp;utm_content=1653\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Latest Data Shows That Sales Managers Are Even Worse Than I Thought<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"when\"><span style=\"font-size: 36px\">When should you coach your salespeople?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are several coaching opportunities available to sales managers: during weekly funnel reviews, when preparing for a <a href=\"\/en\/prospect-meeting-sales-coaching\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">prospect meeting<\/a>, during <a href=\"\/en\/post-call-coaching\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">post-call coaching session<\/a>, when leading <a href=\"\/en\/how-to-run-an-effective-sales-pipeline-review\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">sales pipeline reviews<\/a>, or even during a team meeting. Managers can also use <a href=\"\/en\/codevelopment-sales\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">sales co-development sessions<\/a> to develop their sales force.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of the type of coaching, these guidelines orient all types of coaching:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>The sales manager must determine the objectives of the coaching session;<\/li>\n<li>During coaching, observations must be noted and communicated to the salesperson;<\/li>\n<li>After coaching, the salesperson must share with the manager the information retained.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2 id=\"often\"><span style=\"font-size: 36px\">How often should you coach your sales reps?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Coaching can be done on an ad hoc or regular basis. In the first case, the director will accompany the salesperson along the stages of the sales process, and this, with different prospects.<\/p>\n<p>However, coaching to instill a specific skill will require repeated coaching. A coaching plan will have to be drawn up so that several sessions are devoted to the same topic.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"know\"><span style=\"font-size: 36px\">Know your salesperson<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To plan each session, the sales manager must first know the salesperson\u2019s skill level for each step of the sales process. To this end, it\u2019s strongly recommended to use <a href=\"\/en\/what-is-a-sales-force-evaluation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a sales evaluation tool<\/a>, such as the one offered by O<a href=\"https:\/\/info.objectivemanagement.com\/page\/Sales-Force-Evaluation.aspx?DistNum=265\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">bjective Management Group (OMG)<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The results of the evaluation provides a clear picture of the salesperson\u2019s ability to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Prospect<\/li>\n<li>Take a consultative approach to sales<\/li>\n<li>Sell value<\/li>\n<li>Qualify<\/li>\n<li>Present an offer<\/li>\n<li>Negotiate<\/li>\n<li>Close<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The sales manager will quickly identify the item(s) on which coaching efforts should be focused on with the salesperson.<\/p>\n<p>Some CRMs, such as Membrain, allow the integration of the sales skills assessment results. The director can then identify the coaching elements to work on, in parallel with an ongoing sales process.<\/p>\n<p>This offers the advantage of not having to constantly refer to the evaluation, the information being accessible directly in the CRM.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"goals\"><span style=\"font-size: 36px\">Setting your coaching goals<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To facilitate preparation, the sales manager can use the results of an OMG evaluation as a reference source, as well as the steps of the sales process. <a href=\"\/en\/sales-dna\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sales DNA<\/a> is also to be considered when coaching representatives.<\/p>\n<p>More specifically, here are several examples of topics to address:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Prospecting plan (agenda, list of prospects, etc.)<\/li>\n<li>Positioning statement<\/li>\n<li>Qualifying<\/li>\n<li>Time management<\/li>\n<li>Motivation<\/li>\n<li>Fear of making cold calls<\/li>\n<li>Ability to ask difficult questions<\/li>\n<li>Quantifying the value of a client\u2019s problem<\/li>\n<li>Ability to generate a sense of urgency<\/li>\n<li>Contacting the decision maker<\/li>\n<li>Identification of the decision-making process<\/li>\n<li>Identification of the solution selection criteria<\/li>\n<li>Presentation of an offer<\/li>\n<li>Ability to close<\/li>\n<li>Use of the CRM (daily use, preparation for a funnel review)<\/li>\n<li>Gathering information on prospects<\/li>\n<li>Negotiation<\/li>\n<li>Working with people from other cultures<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In any case, here are two rules to follow:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It\u2019s very important to work on <strong>one element<\/strong> at a time. For example, the salesperson must know how to identify a problem with the client and make an appointment on the phone to obtain a 1st base meeting.<\/li>\n<li>One can\u2019t <strong>coach a salesperson on a new item unless they\u2019ve mastered the first<\/strong>. For example, the salesperson must identify a problem and make an appointment on the phone before being coached on how to ask questions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>How to determine which topic to prioritize<\/h3>\n<p>The coaching must be in sync with the salesperson\u2019s competency level. There\u2019s no point in coaching on how to make an offer if the salesperson can\u2019t get to 1st base.<\/p>\n<p>The manager must determine at what height to place the bar, in other words, where the salesperson is at in terms of sales competencies. The coach\u2019s role is to ensure that this bar is constantly rising.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"roleplay\"><span style=\"font-size: 36px\">Use of role-playing<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Although very beneficial for coaching, some managers don\u2019t dare role-play because of certain fears. They often<strong> simply don\u2019t know how to do it<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>You must understand that role-playing is a three-step process.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>First, you must <strong>define an initial situation with the salesperson, the topic that will be addressed<\/strong>. For example, a client could face a lack of in-house resources.<\/li>\n<li>From the identified situation, <strong>three role-play<\/strong> situations will be created:<\/li>\n<ul>\n<li>First, the representative will play themselves, the salesperson, and the coach, the client. As part of a 1st base meeting, the salesperson must try to discover the client\u2019s needs, problems and causes, as well as their impacts. Therefore, identifying the compelling reasons to buy, and in turn generating a sense of urgency.<\/li>\n<li>The salesperson will probably make mistakes during this situation, maybe forget a few steps. The sales manager will note the comments to communicate to the salesperson at the end of the exercise. Upon this follow-up, they will discuss each of the points to improve and ask the salesperson what could have been done differently.<\/li>\n<li>The second is a role reversal. By addressing the salesperson as if they were the client, the sales manager will then effectively go through the logical sequence between the 1st and 2nd base. The salesperson will then point out the differences they noticed between this exercise and the first one.<\/li>\n<li>For the 3rd role-play, the representative resumes the role of the salesperson and replays the passage from 1st to 2nd base. Considering the knowledge obtained for the 2nd exercise, this attempt should proceed seamlessly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<li>At the end of the exercise, the sales manager highlights the issues which improved and asks the salesperson which elements they think should be worked on. Finally, the salesperson is invited to send the sales manager an email in which they\u2019ve summarized what they learned.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>This role-play sequence can be used to prepare for a 1st base meeting, in anticipation of a prospecting call, or the presentation of an offer.<\/p>\n<h3>When to role-play<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s recommended to use role-play when a salesperson lacks a certain competency.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, it\u2019s always possible to start with a more standard coaching approach, where the manager invites the representative to share their objectives and preparation for a meeting or a call. The role-play comes in afterwards, if it\u2019s deemed necessary to improve a specific competency.<\/p>\n<p>The advantage of role-play is that it allows the salesperson to experience and practise real-life situations.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"plan\"><span style=\"font-size: 36px\">Co-create the coaching plan<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Ideally, the sales manager who aims for consistent coaching should not only have a coaching plan, but should develop it in collaboration with the salesperson. In certain companies, a plan for every salesperson must be presented to the president.<\/p>\n<h3>An interactive process<\/h3>\n<p>At the beginning of each month, the manager asks the salesperson to identify which item(s) they would like to examine. It may be two or three skills, though one suffices.<\/p>\n<p>The manager will then ask the representative to lay out their action plan. It can include coaching, role-play, and various self-teaching methods.<\/p>\n<h3>A constant measure of results<\/h3>\n<p>The results are measured at the end of the month. First, a qualitative follow-up is done on the co-created plan. How did the last few weeks go? What difficulties were encountered?<\/p>\n<p>If the competency involved is measurable, a quantitative assessment can also demonstrate the progress that was achieved.<\/p>\n<h3>Monthly revision of the coaching plan<\/h3>\n<p>Considering these observations, the action plan for the following month is developed. Specific questions guide which actions to take:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Does the salesperson believe to have a good grasp of this competency?<\/li>\n<li>What was successful?<\/li>\n<li>What could be improved upon?<\/li>\n<li>Does the salesperson want to continue with this competency or move on to another?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The process follows its course, like a loop.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"salesmanagers\"><span style=\"font-size: 36px\">Coaching sales managers<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The sales manager can also benefit from coaching. Presidents and <a href=\"\/en\/challenges-vp-sales\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sales VP<\/a>s sometimes develop a plan in conjunction with their managers to improve their skills.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, why not apply coaching to all directors, even those not involved in sales? Everyone can, and should, benefit from it!<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hs-cta-wrapper\" id=\"hs-cta-wrapper-b3281ffb-a32e-46aa-a19a-527e989521aa\"><span class=\"hs-cta-node hs-cta-b3281ffb-a32e-46aa-a19a-527e989521aa\" id=\"hs-cta-b3281ffb-a32e-46aa-a19a-527e989521aa\" style=\"text-align: center\" data-hs-drop=\"true\"><a id=\"cta_button_b3281ffb-a32e-46aa-a19a-527e989521aa\" class=\"cta_button\" href=\"https:\/\/go.primaressource.com\/en\/core-sales-management-competencies\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"hs-cta-img-b3281ffb-a32e-46aa-a19a-527e989521aa\" class=\"hs-cta-img \" style=\"border-width: 0px;margin: 20px auto\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.primaressource.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/b3281ffb-a32e-46aa-a19a-527e989521aa.png\"><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>Note: This post was originally published on October 5, 2018, and has been reviewed and revamped for accuracy and comprehensiveness.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With this ultimate sales coaching guide, learn when and how often to coach, how to set coaching goals and how to use role-playing as a coaching tool.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":2528,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[135],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2532","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sales-coaching"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.3 -
