Training your sales reps is an important part of supporting and retaining the employees most directly tied to your company\u2019s revenue success.<\/p>\n<p>But training salespeople is often challenging.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s tough to take them away from their jobs when they\u2019re trying to close deals, follow up with prospects, and meet their quotas. However, to meet those quotas, they need <strong>guidance<\/strong>. On-the-job deal coaching is a great way to <strong>offer direction<\/strong> in a way that keeps deals moving forward.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s look at what exactly deal coaching is, how it can impact your sales team\u2019s success, and what it might look like in your organization.<\/p>\n<h2>What is deal coaching?<\/h2>\n<p>Deal coaching is a popular form of professional development geared toward helping develop and support <a href=\"https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/successful-salesperson-skills\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>successful sales reps<\/strong><\/a> in your organization.<\/p>\n<p>Coaching has immense <a href=\"https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/sales-representative-training-benefits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>benefits for your sales team<\/strong><\/a> and is an integral part of learning and development. <em>Deal<\/em> coaching has its own unique advantages, though. So it\u2019s important to understand how it differs from general skills coaching.<\/p>\n<h3>Deal coaching vs. skills coaching<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Deal coaching<\/strong> is working with sales reps and coaching them through closing deals with specific customers. This method addresses the tools and skills needed to <strong>move that client through the sales pipeline<\/strong>. Deal coaching takes place in less structured sessions between a sales manager and a rep.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Skills coaching<\/strong> focuses on teaching broader concepts that are critical to sales success in general. It concentrates on developing the sales rep rather than on a client. Skills coaching is a more typical form of professional development and includes formal training in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/library\/collection\/sales-mastery\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>essential sales skills<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Meet TalentLibrary&#x2122;<br \/>\n<\/b>A growing collection of ready-made courses that cover the skills<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">your sales teams need for success at work<br \/>\n<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/library\/aff:blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-15647\" src=\"https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/TalentLibrary_CTA.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"224\" height=\"49\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/TalentLibrary_CTA.png 333w, https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/TalentLibrary_CTA-300x66.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 224px) 100vw, 224px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15649\" src=\"https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/TalentLibrary-characters-row.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1498\" height=\"146\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/TalentLibrary-characters-row.png 1498w, https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/TalentLibrary-characters-row-300x29.png 300w, https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/TalentLibrary-characters-row-1024x100.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/TalentLibrary-characters-row-768x75.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1498px) 100vw, 1498px\" \/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>How to use deal coaching<\/h2>\n<p>Deal coaching happens in formal or informal sessions between a sales rep and the sales manager. They discuss an existing deal the rep is trying to close, with the manager coaching the rep on the tools and skills they could use to help.<\/p>\n<p>Rather than setting out detailed steps to execute, the manager\u2019s job is to <strong>help the rep analyze what the client needs<\/strong> and reinforce specific sales skills for doing so. They can do this by asking thought-provoking, open-ended questions.<\/p>\n<h3>5 questions to ask during deal coaching<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>What is the client\u2019s need?<\/strong> Get the rep thinking about the pain points the client is experiencing or the goals they\u2019re trying to achieve so they can talk about how your solution applies.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Why is our solution the right one?<\/strong> This helps the rep articulate what makes your product or service valuable to the client.<\/li>\n<li><strong>How does our solution compare to the competition?<\/strong> This goes further in exploring what makes your product unique. It can also help the rep round out their proposal with information that shows how they can outperform the competition.<\/li>\n<li><strong>What objections has the client expressed?<\/strong> Analyzing why a client may be resistant can help the sales rep understand another pain point and figure out how to address it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Who is the key decision-maker in the organization?<\/strong> The rep wants to ensure they know who will make the decision and that they can build a relationship with that person.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These questions will get the salesperson thinking about their approach. They can also open up opportunities for coaching on specific or more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/library\/collection\/sales-methodologies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>advanced sales skills<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s go through a couple of examples to see what a typical coaching session might look like.<\/p>\n<h3>Deal coaching examples<\/h3>\n<p><em><strong>Example #1:<\/strong><\/em> You, the manager, are discussing a deal with a rep and ask about decision-makers. The rep shares that they have discovered their contact will not be making the final decision, but that someone further up the management chain will.<\/p>\n<p>This is a good opportunity to create a plan for how the rep will start building a relationship with that manager. You share some tips to help them research the company\u2019s leadership and offer coaching on communication skills they\u2019ll need to start that conversation.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Example #2:<\/strong><\/em> A rep is creating a proposal for a new client that has been stalled in the pipeline. During the coaching session, you discuss the client\u2019s objections, and the sales rep shares that they are concerned that your solution isn\u2019t all that different from what they\u2019re doing now.<\/p>\n<p>You can help the sales rep talk through what makes your product stand out, including additional features the client may not be aware of.<\/p>\n<p>The rep walks away from your session able to explicitly address how the client\u2019s needs aren&#8217;t being met by their current solution. They\u2019ll also be able to articulate how your product will make their work easier and more efficient.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Deliver an engaging sales training program with TalentLMS<br \/>\n<\/strong>Use interactive scenarios, live workshops, and follow-up quizzes,<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">and guide your salespeople into closing their deals faster.<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/create\/aff:blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10550\" src=\"https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/CTA.png\" alt=\"Create my TalentLMS forever-free account\" width=\"291\" height=\"70\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>How deal coaching benefits your team and your organization<\/h2>\n<p>Coaching, in general, benefits your employees by boosting their overall abilities and making them more competent salespeople.
