Sales Coaching
Definition
Sales coaching is the ongoing process of developing sales reps' skills, behaviors, and performance through structured feedback, practice, and reinforcement. Effective sales coaching goes beyond telling reps what to do — it uses data from actual sales conversations to identify specific improvement areas, demonstrate best practices from top performers, and measure progress over time.
Why Data-Driven Sales Coaching Transforms Teams
Traditional sales coaching suffers from three problems: it is inconsistent, subjective, and hard to scale. Managers coach based on what they remember from ride-alongs or joint calls, missing the patterns that emerge across hundreds of conversations. Data-driven coaching changes this by using conversation intelligence to identify exactly where reps struggle — specific objections they fumble, talk-to-listen ratios that hurt deals, or discovery questions they skip. Agencies that implement data-driven coaching see 20-30% improvements in rep performance within 90 days, because feedback is specific, evidence-based, and tied to real conversations.
