Coaches

Common Reasons Training Fails to Deliver ROIInformation through a Fire Hose: Focus on “speed to completion” & turn loose rather than internalization and adoption. Shadow Training or training by “osmosis.” Managers wait for reps to “figure it out.”

Results: 80% of revenue from Top 10% of reps/accounts. Inability to scale the business; Revolving Door Syndrome

Sales Coaching: Business development vs. talent development. Product-Focused Training creates peddlers, objections, and roadblocks

Lack of Commitment: Managers fail to enroll themselves in training. Failure to “coach the coaches.” Managers fail to coach to the message, model desired behaviors.
