    [ENCORE] Coaching that Generates Sales Results with Connie Whitman (Episode 243)

    "A great coach not only inspires but supports and encourages others to get results." - Richard Schuy Check Out These Highlights: I chose this quote because being a great coach does exactly what this quote illustrates. Inspires, supports, and encourages results.  At the end of the day, it's about getting our teams to be as productive and efficient as possible so that together we can generate the results needed for ourselves and the organization we work for. Your employees have blind spots; in other words, they don't know what they don't know until you can help them see the next relevant step forward for their development.  As their coach, you can help them identify the next skill needed for their growth and develop goals and action steps that show them how to achieve the new skill step-by-step. Recently, I have been teaching numerous coaching classes.  Recently, we were discussing how different life stages are and how we need to modify our approach, not just based on skill level.  So many factors come into play. About Connie Whitman: Known for her energetic, passionate, heart-centered, and enthusiastic approach to sales, teaching, and coaching, Connie Whitman has served as the CEO of Changing the Sales Game for over 25 years, helping business owners, leaders, and sales teams build powerful organizations.  Connie is a four-time #1 International Best-Selling author, including her book ESP (Easy Sales Process): 7 Steps to Sales Success, as well as a speaker and podcast host.
