Coaching
It's not about having salespeople do what I say.... It’s about having salespeople do what “they say.”
By providing coaching, salespeople with the opportunity and the right environment, you can encourage them to take ownership and be accountable for their actions. It's not about telling them what to do; it's about empowering them to do what they believe is best. Through coaching, you can help salespeople develop their skills, gain confidence, and make informed decisions.
Creating an environment that fosters self-management and accountability among salespeople is essential. Instead of micromanaging, you can empower them to take ownership of their responsibilities. By offering support, resources, and a culture of trust, you enable salespeople to proactively manage their tasks and be accountable for their actions. This approach promotes independence, motivation, and a sense of personal responsibility, leading to better performance and results.
Selling is not an instruction manual to be followed (disseminating information). It's a series of problems to be solved (learning and growing together).
