Span the Chasm: Should You Hire a Sales Coach

Should You Hire a Sales Coach?

This week’s topic is on the value of coaching

Top athletes and performers know the value of coaching to improve individual and team performance. Do you know the value? Do you have a coaching strategy?In my work with clients, I see this odd dichotomy..

  • Everyone acknowledges the value of coaching
  • Few seek it out

The issue is not lack of desire. My experience shows most aren’t sure what good coaching looks like. How to start and how to be truly open to the possibilities. We humans love our comfort zone but we can always perform better with an external push.

Are you struggling with your personal and professional growth? Missing your goals? Feeling overwhelmed? If you aren’t engaging a coach OR if you are and you’re still struggling, it’s time you look at what a coach can do for you. Watch and learn.

To recap, let’s review the 3 values that good coaching provides:

  • Objective, external diagnosis: A good coach removes the emotion from the situation and leverages a broad background in similar scenarios to provide you clarity when your vision is murky.
  • Accountable development plans: A good coach identifies the gap (skills, competencies, process, etc) and collaboratively builds a development plan to solve it. They work in tangent with you to create an accountability process that ensures completion. Accountability is success steroids.
  • Encouragement: Good coaching provides encouragement. Truth: Everyone needs encouragement. Unfortunately, many of the internal systems that we work in don’t provide it.

At Span the Chasm, we do lots of coaching. One of the core services that we deliver. IGNITE: Sales Rep and IGNITE: Sales Leader. We have dozens of clients who are experiencing sales performance gains because of this service.

Read one of our many Success Stories:

“Randy has greatly improved how I do my work and my results. Because of our coaching, I’ve organized my organic process into something tangible, repeatable and ultimately transferable. I’ve become more focused on what matters and much more effective with my time. His in-depth process has helped me understand my business better. He asks the right questions and greatly helps my clarity. This clarity of thinking affects my operating rhythm and my focus on the right questions… Why am I doing this? What am I after? What would be a good result? I would highly recommend Randy and Span the Chasm to any sales professional who wants to improve personally and professionally. “   Tom H, Private Coaching Client

We even GET coaching at Span the Chasm! I’ve been working with Brian Patrick Cork, my business coach, for months. He has provided me with great insight and advice as we navigate growth. EVERYONE benefits from working with the right coach.

Proof: I hired 2 new team members recently as part of our growth plan. Fear was holding me back, and I needed his sage advice, accountability, and encouragement. Brian provided that through this process. I wouldn’t have made the crucial growth investment without him, his experience and guidance.
