We learn coaching aiming to improve our leadership capability. Learning it is just the beginning. Making coaching sustainable in the workplace is often harder than we expect. One of the common roadblocks is competing priority. Numbers, KPIs, deadlines, and changing business priorities always become a good reason why coaching is a lesser priority compared to directing. Often, managers tell me that they wish having more time and the patience to coach thier people. But, they are pressured with lesser resources and more things to accomplish in the business. While this is a reality in most of the businesses today, how would you see this narrative in a different perspective? How would you reframe it? 🖼️🖼️ How I see this is, we might use less time by giving direction to our people and get things done quick. However, everytime we do that, we deprive them an opportunity to empowering themselves to learn and build confident. So, in a long-run, we actually spend more time building their incompetency. We need even more patience correcting their mistakes and building their capability. 🙄🫤🥺🙁 Coaching conversation isn’t just confined to performance review meeting, or team meeting. It can be a conversation happened anytime, anywhere in the workplace helping someone discover their blind spots, gain confidence and improve performance. Small steps, big impact. Recognise those coachable moments and coach, we are one step closer to build a more confident and competent workforce. 🏆🥇🎯✌🏻💪🏻🙌🏻 Let’s start recognising those coachable moments. How many of the coaching opportunities shown in the list that you can add on to your daily conversations? 👇🏻 #Coaching #Coachingculture #Coachingconversations #CoachingforSuccess #CoachingJourney #CoachSimonYap

Here's the good news - if you are a President, CEO, VP of Sales, or other sales leader, you can bring me into your team as YOUR sales management coach! Clients have been benefiting from my Smooth Sailing Coaching Packages for nearly a decade now, and I have openings for a few coaching clients (I limit the amount of coachees I have at any one time). Want this to be you? We should talk. These programs include: My sales audit Sales and sales management training Ongoing coaching sessions 24 hour response time to questions and issues (I really am part of your team). And more, depending on the level you choose. These programs are designed to make YOU the very best sales leader you can be, and equip you with the tools and techniques to achieve the results and goals you have for your company and your team.

These programs are an investment of time and head space. Second - I'm not cheap and I don't want to be. Third - these programs are only open to leadership and management; I do not coach individual sales reps. However, I've coached leaders of sales teams big and small, so don't think that you're "too small" or "too big." But - if you are committed to building the very best sales team possible, I can help you get there. Let's talk. Send me a DM and we'll get a meeting together.

When sales managers are asked to reflect on their own reasons for not coaching (as opposed to why they think other managers in their organization aren’t coaching), the issues of lack of skills or confidence are curiously down the list. Instead, the number one response is: I’m too busy. But are they, really?... Salespeople who receive coaching are more engaged, apply more discretionary effort and are less likely to leave. We also know that without an effective coaching culture, sales managers usually end up dealing with more turnover than they should, either because their people aren’t getting the support to develop their skills and stay motivated when things get tough, or because high performers feel like they need to go elsewhere to take their game to the next level. Or maybe they’re just sick of picking up the slack for the rest of the team. At the same time, sales managers may have to deal with performance issues or be forced to step in and take over when salespeople aren’t equipped to handle challenging situations or get deals closed. They may also have to invest additional time dealing with morale issues. https://lnkd.in/eFngCaUX by Bruce Wedderburn #salesmanagement #salesleadership #salescoaching #salesperformance #salesculture

Do the best salespeople make the best sales managers who create the best sales performance? I coach business owners and executives at all organizational levels. One of the most challenging growth opportunities is for the person promoted based on their excellent performance as an individual contributor to a people manager. This transition is tough for a top salesperson who advances to sales manager. The psychological payoffs of sales management are vastly different from the immediate dopamine hit of making a huge sale. There will likely be a withdrawal period where the now-overwhelmed new manager questions their decision to become a manager and fondly remembers the days when their favorite clients loved them and their life was much simpler. Now, they must grow others to perform and not try to mold them into mini-me sales clones. What worked well for the manager when they ran the streets may not work for the next generation of sales pros. The manager must become an observer, evaluator, and teacher and use coaching techniques to support each salesperson as they find their unique success paths. The manager is held accountable for the overall group’s revenue performance and now must manage systems rather than deals. Let's discuss a growth program if this sounds like your real struggles. https://lnkd.in/gMSwrkFm #sales #salesmanagement #manager #management

Lovely salespeople of LinkedIn. I need your help! Sales coaching is often highlighted as the most vital aspect of frontline sales leadership. There is a lot of empirical evidence out there that shows high quality coaching positively tracks to quota attainment. However, we also know that many sales organizations face numerous challenges in executing successful coaching strategies. We're calling on both Sales Leaders and Individual Contributors in B2B organisations to share their experiences and perspectives of Sales Coaching with the sales community at large. We're thrilled to announce the launch of the 'State of Sales Coaching in 2024' survey, hosted by MySalesCoach in collaboration with Aircall. With tailored questions for each group, your feedback will help us capture a holistic view of the current sales coaching landscape. Please could I ask you to complete the survey (link in the comments) by Friday, September 13, 2024. It will take about 3-5 minutes and then to share this request to your own networks. By participating, you could win one of these exciting prizes: MySalesCoach Scholarship (one for Sales Leaders, one for Individual Contributors), AirPods, Sonos Speaker or a Nespresso Machine but the real prize will be access to the collective shared experience of our community and an opportunity to influence the future of this most important component of sales success. Thanks everyone. Can't wait to see the insights in this report. We expect to publish around October this year.

Coaching is such a key skill for sales managers and has such an impact on a sales person performances. Yet many businesses continue to not invest enough time and resources into sales coaching. Read what Pete Evans has to say about this topic.
Business Growth Specialist ★ Sales Effectiveness Expert ★ High-Performance Sales Coach ★ Sales Growth Specialist ★ Sales Mindset Specialist
If you are a sales manager or sales leader, what value are you really putting on coaching your salespeople...? The recent report from MySalesCoach shows that there is a huge disconnect between the amount of coaching that sales reps want and the actual amount of coaching that the reps actually receive. The evidence shows that companies that invest the time to provide effective and consistent coaching to their salespeople experience higher revenues. So the financial benefits of sales coaching are there for all to see. So why isn't it happening as often as it should do:- ❌ sales managers and sales leaders lack the capability to coach effectively ❌ sales managers are focusing on lower pay off activities such as completing spreadsheets, attending unproductive meetings, reviewing figures ❌ sales managers don't see the value in coaching. This is often because the sales managers were successful salespeople and haven't kept upto date sales methodologies. They are "tell" their salespeople what to do, rather than coaching them ❌ sales managers lack a "growth mindset". This is linked to the point above. In addition, these sales managers are not coachable themselves. ❌ sales managers make excuses such as I don't have enough time These are just some of the reasons that sales managers are not coaching your salespeople. Ask yourself what could you do to improve this situation? #salesexcellence #salestransformation #salescoaching

The most uncomfortable question which many executives still don't like to answer: 3/4 of organisations cite sales coaching as the number one function a Sales Leader should be playing week to week. Yet the average Sales Leader invests less than 5% of their time actually coaching. In what profession on this planet, would it be deemed acceptable for the number one function of a job role to get so little time dedicated towards it? Why is it accepted? -Is it because they aren't being held accountable for it by the executive team? -Is it because things like demanding more leads is seen as the easier option? -Is it because they don't know what coaching actually is or don't know how to do it? Heres one thing thats for certain though: Most sales teams today are underperforming and not hitting their numbers. So shouldn't the 'number one function' that a Sales Leader has on their list be getting more consideration?
