Coaching
Coaching
Coaching is central to the Real Sales Manager Programme as it allows for:
- development specific to the context and situation of the role
- development specific to the capability and challenges of the individual
- timing to suit the business needs
- use real-life as the case study : fix real issues as well as developing the manager
Steve Hoyle and a small group of highly accredited coaches are available for short term specific interventions or longer term development. They have all been successful sales managers in complex B2B, had extensive coaching training, have the time available to dedicate to each individual client, and are free from the (unconcious) biases and politics which exist in even the best of organisations. Check out their profiles below or contact us to discuss the possibilities for aspiring, new, developing and experienced Sales Managers.
Our coaching programmes are carried out in-person or remotely and are complemented by free of charge podcasts, tutorials and other resources.
