Importance of Sales Leaders Coaching

Frontline sales leaders often spend only 15-20% of their time coaching their team, instead of the ideal 50%. Conducting a calendar study helps identify how leaders are currently spending their time. Making time for coaching and implementing a rigorous sales process are crucial. Companies should focus on a customer-verified sales process that aligns with the buyer's journey. Proper coaching involves asking open-ended questions and engaging the prefrontal cortex of the brain, rather than telling or directing. The power of coaching is in its ability to uncover the root causes of performance issues and develop solutions.
