Salespeople don't want to be told what to do. They want to be told what has worked, so they can improve their own processes and make it their own. Everyone has their own style of what works for them. If you try telling sellers what to do, they'll check the box. If you teach them what works and how, they'll add it to their check-list. Reminds me of one of my favorite Steve Job's quotes, "It doesn't make sense to hire smart people and tell them what to do; we hire smart people so they can tell us what to do."

Well said. This is one of the most fundamental components of effective sales training.

Prescriptive is better.
