Here's how you can demonstrate your sales technique expertise during a sales coaching interview.
Demonstrating your active listening and questioning skills as well as connecting what you hear to your solution is a great way to demonstrate your sales expertise. Also, being able to demonstrate how you handle a situation where there is no connection or opportunity is equally important.

What do you do if your sales team members have unique needs and goals for performance evaluations?
The truth is that each team member should be treated as an individual, with individual needs and goals. Meet individually with each team member and explore their strengths, challenges, and processes. Together develop a plan that encourages their strengths. Provide resources for the challenges they experience. Your job isn't to tell them HOW to do their job. It is to provide them with the resources they need in order to be successful. Remember, when they are successful, you will be successful, and the company will be successful.

What do you do if you want to stand out as an entry-level leader?
Practice being a great listener. Listening is difficult. And the best leaders are those people who know they don't have all the answers. They are interested in learning from others and co-creating solutions with others. So, learn to be an active, undistracted, unbiased listener.

What do you do if team members in your small business are constantly arguing and causing conflicts?
Convene a meeting with the players and ask them to share their perspectives, viewpoints, challenges, and needs. Be sure to first create a safe space and set your expectations for the conversation. For example, that each person will listen without interrupting, that they will respect each other, no name calling, stick to facts not emotions. it's important for the leader to listen unemotionally and then mirror back what they hear, asking for confirmation. The involved parties then need to co-create a plan to work together effectively and deal with future challenges in more constructive ways

Use Discovery To Maximize Sales
Roofing Magazine
Discovery is so much better than selling. When we are in a discovery mindset we are present, open, and curious. We don’t have any preconceived ideas about who we are talking to, or what outcome we expect.

Bringing on Large Clients Can Result in Big Problems
Roofing Magazine
So many salespeople and small business owners strive to hook the big fish — the large client. There’s a belief that these are the best customers and that there is validity and credibility attached to being able to say you’ve won those accounts.
I see it a little differently. When I think about hooking the big fish I think about long sales cycles, low quotes with tight margins, and diversion of attention. Let’s take a look at each. -
