Only give them one thing to work on
Even if I observed multiple areas that need to be addressed, the best bet is to give them one piece of coaching. I usually start the conversation like this: “We had a full day, and I made lots of notes. If I were to give you one piece of coaching it would be…” It’s essential to provide training or give specific examples of how to improve along with your coaching.
If the feedback, for example, is “I noticed at the end of all of your calls you closed by saying ‘Thank you, and you’d follow up.’ You’ll shorten your sales cycle, likely close more business and spend less time trying to reconnect if you get in the habit of closing each call by gaining agreement on next step(s), date and time. Let’s get in the habit of planning in advance what the next step should be, or at the very least, ask them ‘So, what’s our next step?’”
If you observed them doing something well, you bosnia and herzegovina telegram data need to let them know. You’ll want them to do it again! Make sure you praise meaningful specifics, and never praise mediocrity. Using this method has repeatedly proven effective. More often than not, when I finished debriefing, they’ll ask “What else do you think I should be working on?” Now they’re far more receptive to critique. Don’t go overboard with this. If they are open to more, don’t give them more than 1 or 2 more pieces of feedback.On this episode of the Sales Gravy podcast, Jeb Blount is joined by the Women Your Mother Warned You About – Gina Trimarco & Rachel Pitts.
