Even though some may have a talent for coaching, many don\u2019t know how best to go about it. Sales management coaching programs help them gain the skills and self-confidence they need to integrate coaching as part of their daily routine. Fortunately, there\u2019s technology available to help them.<strong> Sales coaching software <\/strong>doesn\u2019t just make it possible to personalise the coaching, but also to measure it by looking at the sellers\u2019 individual actions, monitoring their progress and providing a visual representation to make things clearer, rather than simply using their own perception, gut instinct and experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2>Sales coaching tools<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Coaching isn\u2019t the same thing as providing solutions or giving everyone the same advice.

It allows you to organise, manage and individualise coaching while ensuring sellers retain the information they\u2019re given. It also provides dashboards for sales managers, higher management and HR. This means <strong>HR can now measure<\/strong>, support and adapt each employee\u2019s development and the impact they have. Peer-to-peer learning is also provided. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A good example of this is \u2018<strong>video pitching<\/strong>\u2019, where the seller records an answer to a client situation using their smartphone, which can then be used as coaching input for the sales manager, and good examples can be shared with other team members. This enhances the performance of the whole team, contributes to continuous development and improves team spirit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"471\" src=\"https:\/\/perpetos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/QS_VideoPitch-960x471.png\" alt=\"Enabling just-in-time coaching\" class=\"wp-image-17808\" srcset=\"https:\/\/perpetos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/QS_VideoPitch-960x471.png 960w, https:\/\/perpetos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/QS_VideoPitch-540x265.png 540w, https:\/\/perpetos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/QS_VideoPitch-200x98.png 200w, https:\/\/perpetos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/QS_VideoPitch-1536x754.png 1536w, https:\/\/perpetos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/QS_VideoPitch-1440x706.png 1440w, https:\/\/perpetos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/QS_VideoPitch.png 1965w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The main advantages of just-in-time coaching are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Identifying possibilities for personal development <\/li><li> Building self-confidence  <\/li><li> Strengthening desired behaviour, knowledge and skills  <\/li><li> Installing a culture that stimulates continuous improvement for each individual and the team <\/li><li> Measuring the impact on sales results <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4>Read more about <strong>agile learning<\/strong>, <strong>knowledge retention<\/strong> and <strong>just-in-time coaching<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"boxed-layout padding-2x cta-blog-section\"><div class=\"rock-promotion-box\"><div class=\"promotion-box-content\" style=\"color:#353535;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/perpetos.com\/en\/qstream\/?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7747 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/perpetos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Qstream_mobile-500.png\" alt=\"Qstream app\" style=\"max-width:200px;\"><\/a>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #606060\">Perpetos Improves Customer Sales Proficiency from 53% to 80%<\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"color: #606060\">Qstream\u2019s mobile microlearning application was selected by Perpetos as a <strong>continuous sales training reinforcement solution<\/strong> for their sales performance programs which help their customers improve conversion rates and lower the cost of sales.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Want to see a demo ?
