A Sales Coach for Your Southeast Michigan Sales Team

In the day-to-day operation of a small business, it’s easy to become short sighted. You begin to take for granted that the way things are is the way they have to be, or always will be. It often takes an experienced outsider to remind us that we really can change things for the better.

As business and sales coaches in Southeast Michigan, we’ve helped many local businesses get their sales efforts on track. If you’re not happy with how your organization’s sales function is doing, sales coaching can be a great option.

We work with sales leaders, managers, teams, individual salespeople, and their organizations.  With both our standard offerings and our customized coaching and consulting engagements, we focus on the gap areas to drive better sales results. Our work varies in length from just one quarter to multi-year engagements depending upon the size of the organization and needs.

In some cases, we operate as a Fractional Sales Leader and other times we coach with an existing Sales Manager and sales team. We often work at all levels of the organization to help build a Sales Focused Organization - leadership, strategic direction, systems, management, departments, and individual contributors. We also assist in the recruiting and evaluation of “Qualified, New Business” Sales representatives.

What Can a Sales Coach in Southeast Michigan Do for You?

As founders of Open Book Selling, we’ve been business coaches in Southeast Michigan and Greater Detroit area for many years. In this time, we’ve realized there’s a surprising amount of confusion about what Sales Coaches actually do.

Many businesses and their teams could benefit from sales coaching, but only know about consultants, are embarrassed to ask for help, or might not even know what their options are. Think about all the instances of where a coach is a given, for example individual and team sports. When the stakes are higher such as in professional sports, many coaches may be employed to impact the performance of a single player!

So, let’s go over what sales coaching really is, what it isn’t, and what a real story of successful business sales coaching looks like!

What Sales Coaching Is

Sales coaching is fundamentally about developing sales leaders, sales management, and their sales team members. We work directly with all levels of the organization.

This can take many forms based on your situation, but the end goal is always to transform you, your leaders, your managers, and team members into strong performers equipped with the tools and skills needed to meet any challenge today and in the future.

This often involves digging into some deeper questions—questions that may be tough to answer, and ones that get at key areas that once addressed, can open up pathways to greater success. We may examine motivators, support, and expectations that once met lead to success.
