Human relationships between the sales team and the client will only develop when the former is able to effectively communicate the value they bring to the latter’s workflow. However, most sales professionals go unprepared and falter in front of the customers, which pushes the latter on the back foot and reduces the chance of a successful deal.

Coaching Sales Managers to build multimillion-dollar pipelines for one of the largest enterprise business software companies
The enterprise team of one of the largest enterprise software companies in the world discovered a need to significantly improve the quality of their pipeline. In addition, they needed their managers to improve their coaching skills so that they are able to drive sustenance within the business. These two requirements needed to be blended together.They reached out to Tripura Multinational to fulfil these two goals.
As part of this engagement, we decided to use coaching as the fulcrum for change. We ledby example on the first account plan as the entire team got together to be coached to a higher aspiration. All of the sales managers observed this demonstration of coaching to understand the finer nuances of coaching, facilitation and project management. The art of asking hard questions in a soft way, structuring the conversation towards specific outcomes and facilitating everybody’s contribution and ownership to the process were key take-aways by the managers. For the next account, one of the sales managers had to step up and replicate what they had observed earlier using their own style of facilitation and coaching.The power of observation and application, provided each manager with a tremendous opportunity to step out of their comfort zone to bring out the best in the account teams.
With this particular customer, around $125 Million dollars of net new revenue was identified (globally, the same methodology has been used to generate over $5Billion of net new potential opportunities world-wide). In addition to the discovery of the pipeline, the managers were also coached to stay accountable to the qualification, acceleration and closure of the pipeline as well. Within the first three months, this initiative yielded an additional $8 million of revenue which could not have happened without this engagement. Moreover, this methodology has been leveraged by each one of the managers to coach each of their account teams to generate millions of dollars of net new pipeline.

How does a tailored sales coaching program address the unique challenges of sales teams?
The requirements for every sales team are different, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach to sales coaching. To address this, tailored programs are developed where each individual of the team is taken into consideration. The focus of these initiatives is to create awareness in the workforce and equip them with effective strategies that enable them to deal with the customers better and close more sales.
What distinguishes effective sales coaching from traditional sales training approaches?
The focus of sales training is to provide a structured format to develop the foundational knowledge and skills of your sales team. In contrast, sales coaching is a more tailored approach which aims to address individual shortcomings and fine-tune the existing skill sets of your sales workforce.
While traditional sales training remains effective, sales coaching takes the experience a few notches higher. Coaching focuses more on enabling the sales professionals to develop a curious and empathetic mindset which proves to be non-negotiable in building highly successful sales strategies. The focus of these is to connect intent with action, which effectively resolves the sales teams’ FUDSIs (Fears, Uncertainties, Doubts, Skepticism and Inertia).
Thus, sales coaching and sales training go hand in hand to ensure long term success.
What are the key components of a high-impact sales coaching program?
Preparation, client conversations to develop consensus, internal deal reviews (which include discussions on strategic/key accounts and multiple debriefs with the sales managers and their team), and continuous calibration for optimizing client-centric behaviors are the key components of a high-impact sales coaching program. These components are customizable and are tuned to match the needs of your sales team.

What should businesses look for when choosing a sales coaching partner?
Any organisation planning to invest in Sales Coaching should ensure that –
- The sales coach has field sales experience and has actually carried a sales quota.
- The sales coach and his team should have the experience of coaching on the job, rather than role-playing or within the training room.
- Sales coaching partners should have the experience of applying psychology, neuroscience, and psychodynamics to achieve continued success in sales interventions. Any sales intervention that only focuses on the business dynamics, without the people dynamics, will not yield holistic results.
How can a holistic sales coaching strategy resolve common team dysfunctions?
Sales Coaching has the ability to continuously build better and high order behaviours in sales managers and their teams. By continuous focus on sales coaching, organisations improve the water level of their sales talent and this acts as a direct correlation to help overcome existing team dysfunctions. Sales Coaching also creates a positive and empathetic work culture in teams and therefore a greater environment of psychological safety and trust in sales teams.
What can you achieve through effective sales coaching:
- When targeted at the sales person, coaching empowers the sales person to increase their self-awareness, improve their self - discipline, identify their blind spots and take action and accountability for aspirational results.
- When coaching is utilized for account planning, it allows the account team to think possibility in addition to probability.
- It helps the account team discover the limits of their understanding of the customer, develop multiple value hypothesis and enumerate measurable and monetizable business value that can be driven for the account. By coaching to the account’s success and business results, the account team discovers its potential.
- Coaching to the opportunity allows the opportunity pursuit team to discover deal breakers hidden in plain sight. If progress on a deal is the systematic elimination of risk, then coaching becomes the medium to discover multiple risks within the deal that could hamper closure. Opportunity pursuit teams also understand the quantum and quality of insights that every team member brings to the table.
- Coaching at the crucial interfaces of the customer and partner allows the sales team to understand how their potential translates to performance. This helps the sales team prepare for and deliver on customer meetings that is distinct, differentiated, memorable and valuable for the customer.
