In the ever-evolving realm of sales, one fact remains constant: the quest for enhanced sales performance. Yet, it’s essential to understand that to achieve this, change cannot solely originate “from above” or stem from the implementation of advanced tools such as sales force automation. True transformation requires a more intimate approach, getting closer to the core of the sales team – the individuals who compose it.

To reach higher echelons of performance, we must engage in more effective and personalized coaching. While coaching itself assumes various forms – pipeline coaching, deal coaching, call coaching, and the like – to unleash the full potential of your sales force, we must dive deeper. We must delve into a realm of personal coaching that transcends the tactical aspects of sales and confronts the fears and limiting beliefs that often shackle our salespeople.

Personal coaching is not a realm for the faint-hearted; it requires a level of trust, empathy, and coaching finesse that many frontline sales managers may not possess. When faced with such circumstances, it’s time to consider an external coach – someone who possesses the skills and, more importantly, the time to connect with each individual on a personal level.

The primary aim is to unearth the profound motivations that drive each person. It’s about understanding what fuels their aspirations, both in their profession and in life. To embark on this journey, we, as coaches, need to ask questions that transcend quotas and commissions, questions like:

– What is your purpose in life?

– Who are you, and how do you perceive yourself?

– What do you truly believe about yourself?

These inquiries unearth the essence of what drives an individual, paving the way for a profound transformation. And only when we reach this level of understanding can we genuinely motivate and empower them to reach their goals, both in their careers and personal lives.

Digging deeper involves delving beneath the surface of numbers and metrics, seeking the elusive “why” behind the challenges and obstacles faced by salespeople. In coaching sessions, repetitive questioning, specifically, asking “why” multiple times, can uncover the core issues standing in the way. More often than not, this unearths limiting beliefs or other hidden barriers that can then be effectively addressed.

In summary, true sales success requires an evolution in coaching. It demands that we shift our focus from generic, surface-level coaching to a more personal and empathetic form. This approach enables us to connect on a deeper level, understand what truly motivates each salesperson, and tackle the underlying obstacles that stifle their potential. In the end, it’s the ability to effect change at a personal level that ultimately propels the entire sales team to higher levels of achievement.
