Who is a Sales Coach ?
A sales coach carries out a formal process involving individualized and ongoing coaching to improve rep performance. Rather than sales managers teaching sellers what to do, sales coaches are professionals who handle sellers and guide them on how to achieve their goals strategically.
What does a Sales Coach do?
The responsibilities of a sales coach greatly depend on the organization one would be working for. Mostly, they design and develop team and individual training programs, mentor new salespeople, and prepare educational materials on sales techniques. A sales coach guides the sales team by improving their skills and motivating them to deliver results.
Sales coaches are also responsible for defining strategies and focussing on activities that help the sales team of the organization achieve better and faster results.
