Why hire a sales coach? 

1.Creates Leverage
Sales managers typically have 3 to 10 direct reports. If they focus on telling them what to do, managers put themselves in a situation where their sales reps repeatedly look to them for answers. Over time, the sales manager becomes a "chief problem solver" instead of a sales enabler. This is a poor use of the manager's time and does little to help the sales rep build their skills and confidence.

In sharp contrast, coaching (instead of telling) teaches sales professionals to solve their problems by increasing their selling skills and knowledge. Over time, this results in a highly empowered team and creates 3x to 10x leverage, depending on the size of the team. It also allows the sales manager to focus on more strategic initiatives instead of running from problem to problem.

2. Improves Selling Skills
Unlike sales training that focuses on the general development needs of the sales team, sales coaching is highly personalized and targets specific selling skills (skills coaching) for each sales team member. In the case of a new hire, targeted skill areas could include prospecting and call planning skills. For a more advanced rep, targeted skills could include presenting value and negotiation. The key point is that managers can work with each team member on a focused plan to improve specific skills.

Ideally, this would begin with a co-assessment of skills so that the coaching plan is collaborative and there is an agreement (creates buy-in) in the targeted skill areas. As skills improve, the plans can be updated (we recommend quarterly) to target other areas for improvement.

3. Increases Win Rates
Another key benefit of sales coaching is that it can increase win rates by focusing on specific opportunities in the sales pipeline (opportunity coaching). This generally plays to sales managers' strengths, especially if the sales manager was promoted from the sales ranks and has a strong track record of closing business.

However, just as with skills coaching, the manager must avoid the temptation to tell the sales reps what to do. Instead, they should inquire about specific opportunities in the pipeline and ask a series of questions that help the sales professional think through the actions required to advance and eventually close the opportunity.

4. Accelerates New-Hire Ramp-Up Time
Generally, new sales reps attend an onboarding program that includes a component on selling skills. While the sales training component is usually very good, sales reps typically leave the onboarding program on "overload" since they also learned about their role, performance expectations, industry, competitive landscape, and the products/solutions they will be selling.

To build on the selling skills component, sales managers should make the coaching of new hires a top priority. This will allow immediate reinforcement of the key skills they learned in the onboarding program. Unfortunately, this point gets lost on many sales managers, and newly hired sales reps are often left to figure things out on their own.

5. Helps Sales Managers Grow & Develop
While we typically focus on the benefits coaching provides to the sales reps, it also profoundly impacts the manager. Managers who become great coaches take pride in their team's accomplishments and use this as a building block to becoming better sales leaders. This represents a key transformation in their mindset, especially if they were used to receiving recognition as a top performer (i.e., sales star).

Additionally, since the sales managers are no longer jumping from problem to problem, they can focus on how they can lead their teams to even greater success. This includes proactively addressing issues, communicating the sales vision, and motivating and inspiring their sales teams.

6. Improves Sales Results
In our Sales Management Research Report, we found that sales managers at high-impact organizations (sales organizations where over 75% of sales reps achieve quota) spend significantly more time coaching than sales managers at average (25% - 75% achieve quota) and low (less than 25% achieve quota) performing organizations.

These benefits present a compelling case for sales organizations to develop a sales coaching culture and invest in sales coaching. While it takes time and patience, it will result in the development of more effective sales managers and more empowered sales teams.

Coaching is a vital component of successful sales management that should not be overlooked. Organizations can create a culture that prioritizes coaching and drives sales team performance by understanding and addressing the common challenges managers face regarding coaching.

Managers often avoid coaching because they feel they don't have the time, lack the necessary coaching skills, are unsure about which skills to focus on, or lack a consistent coaching process. However, these obstacles can be mitigated through efficient time management, comprehensive training programs, clear competency models, and a structured coaching process.

The benefits of sales coaching are substantial. It creates leverage by empowering sales professionals to solve their problems, improves selling skills through personalized and targeted coaching plans, increases win rates by focusing on specific opportunities, accelerates new-hire ramp-up time through immediate feedback on key selling skills, helps sales managers grow and develop as effective leaders, and ultimately improves overall sales results.
