The Six Principles of Leadership Coaching

Effective leadership coaching requires a deep understanding of the needs of the person being coached and an ability to facilitate and collaborate. Socrates, the ancient Greek philosopher, was famous for his use of questions to lead his students. Similarly, the best coaches don't give direct answers or act the expert. Instead, they use open-ended questions to help the them develop their own solutions and strategies.

Benefits of Hiring an External Sales Coach

While internal coaching can be effective, many organisations are turning to external sales coaches to provide a fresh perspective and new insights. Hiring an external sales coach has several benefits, including:

1. Objective Perspective

An external sales coach can provide an objective perspective on the organisation's sales processes and strategies. They can identify areas for improvement that internal coaches may overlook due to their familiarity with the company.

2. Specialised Expertise

External sales coaches have specialised expertise in sales and can provide insights into best practices, new technologies and emerging trends in the industry. This expertise can help sales managers to develop strategies that are tailored to their organisation's unique needs.

3. Accountability

External sales coaches can hold sales managers accountable for their goals and commitments. This can help to ensure that sales managers follow through on their commitments and make the necessary changes to improve their performance.

4. Focus on Results

External sales coaches are focused on achieving results. They work with sales managers to develop strategies that are aligned with the organisation's goals and objectives. This focus on results can help to improve sales performance and increase revenue.

Coaching for Change

Coaching is not just about improving performance; it can also be used to help people make important life-enhancing changes. Coaching for change involves helping employees to identify their goals and develop strategies for achieving them. This can be especially useful for sales managers who may be struggling to achieve their sales targets.
