Shadow a sale and let the sales reps self-coach before providing my own feedback. Questions like "What do you think went well?" "What do you think you could improve on?" "What is one thing you can focus on before your next sale to make it better than this one?"

First, the best coaching tactic consists in working with the sales team to reach their personal and professional goals although the steps that the sales team should be working on it

I have a catalog of skills training broken out by category. This helps my reps and I more specifically define where our time is best served.

Ride alongs with reps during face to face customer meetings to better understand their weak and strong spots. Then from my observation assess their coaching needs.

Self coaching - asking questions to the rep on how they are thinking about it and what they feel is the best path forward and why

[MTalenfeld]

I ask questions. Lots of questions, which help people think.

I love this course

Biweekly 1-on-1s with reps. Having them listen to eachother's recorded calls and point out the good, bad, and the opportunities missed so that they can each know how to improve. Im am there just asking questions, while the reps are talking/feeding off eachother's progress and energy and holding eachother accountable. 

[JaneBoag]

Bi-weekly 1:1 - personal performance in OKRs and address what is good/need help with (ie of what stage of the sales process are they losing customers), task achievement reporting/grading (as per CRM data), personal / life and career goals

[AOwonibi]

Awesome

[DJacksonDJ]

1 on 1 listening

[MarlaMoran]

I have bi-weekly 1:1 with all my superstars.  We discuss WINS, Opportunities, Obsticals, and Take Aways.  WOOT! WOOT!

[Jyeesmuis]

I like to do the 1:1 and also like to use the team member accessing pipelines of everyone

[HariniRam]

1:1 conversation with a rep.

Playing the recording during standup and getting the team to give feedback to each other.

These two are magic 🙂
