Yet only 48% of salespeople say that they receive coaching, and only 13% find it helpful.* One reason sales teams have such a chaotic and disconnected view of whether coaching is confusion about what sales coaching is, and what it is not. Another reason is a lack of structured cadence or rhythms for coaching.
Most sales managers think they are coaching more than they actually are. And most salespeople feel less coached than their managers think they should. Meanwhile, most sales organizations struggle to gain traction on performance improvements.
