YOUR BLINDSPOTS ARE KILLING YOUR COACHING
Throughout my sales training and coaching career of 23 years, clients have paid me to listen to thousands of conversations between sales managers and their salespeople. It’s a fascinating view that I am privileged and honored to have.
I have discovered that sales managers are unaware of harmful, sometimes destructive behaviors they consistently commit in these conversations – and often in the name of coaching. These blindspots are costly – unmotivated and poorly coached reps underperform and miss quota. Sometimes, top reps leave to go work for another boss.
When you discover your blindspots and embrace a very specific paradox you can be a more powerful leader and coach to your people.
