6 Steps for Individualized Sales Coaching

It might seem a one-size-fits-all approach to sales coaching is more ‘scalable.’ But, not individualizing coaching will lead you to  miss market on your team’s diverse skills, experiences and challenges and ultimately hinder overall performance.  There are six steps you can take to individualize coaching.

Playbook-Based Training

Top-performing teams use Playbook-Based training to align to buyer expectations for personalization and achieve higher performance.  Playbooks mean a shared way of managing your buyer and customer interactions.  They make individual skills development easier and support stronger peer to peer learning.

Team Performance

Core Skills Matrix

The foundation of individual and team coaching is a core skills matrix that highlights the 8 to 10 most  important sales skills.  These are skills sales team members need to effectively run their deals and pipelines, and for your success team members to strategically manage their accounts.

Team Performance

Individual Skills Plan

The best individual skills plans involve agreement on the right skills focus, a narrowing of focus on 1 to 2 skills until they improve.  They also involved weekly skills sessions across multiple coaching formats, including joint calls, role plays, call video reviews, and sales artifact reviews.

Team Performance

Team-Based Learning

Managers lead, but peers need to reinforce skills coaching.  Each team develops its own approach to coaching with the right blend of role plays, joint calls, call reviews, and document reviews.   Without peer to peer reinforcements individual development plans can fail to move the needle on skills.

Success Story

Our sales coaching had been inconsistent and ad hoc. Winalytics helped us build a consistent cadence of coaching across the sales organization from individual sellers to frontline managers to vertical leadership.”
