Is Sales Coaching The Missing Piece?
Post Outline
As entrepreneurs, we’re always looking for better ways to boost our sales. A great investment can often be sales coaching. If you’ve ever been curious about what sales coaching is, and if it would be beneficial for your business, keep reading!
What Is Sales Coaching Specifically?
Sales coaching is what it sounds like- a way to coach a client to help them with their sales. It can be very useful in helping an entrepreneur find a good set of tools to boost their business and increase their income. However, it is not just about coaching them to make more money, though that is a part of it. Sales coaching is meant to support a client in finding the answer that is best for them.
Whether Sales Coaching Would Be Helpful For You, or Whether You Could Skip It
The idea of sales coaching can be overwhelming. You might wonder if it’s even necessary for your business. Not everyone may need sales coaching, because everyone’s business is different, and all entrepreneurs have different sets of knowledge in specific areas.
If you don’t have a background in sales, if sales is something you struggle with, or if your sales process isn’t working, then sales coaching might be something for you to look into.
Sales coaching will also be helpful for you if your sales are not where they’d like to be. Remember, you can’t just think “I have an awesome program to offer, it should be making more money”! That thinking is naive, and isn’t helping you get to the root of your business. Sales coaching is going to guide you in a direction that will help boost your business, and fill in the gaps that are missing to help you make more sales.

What Makes Sales Coaching Different
Sales coaching is not someone telling a client what to do and giving them answers. It is not the same as teaching someone how to do something. For example, you wouldn’t go on someone’s page and copy every strategy that they use in their business model and shift it to yours. Sales coaching is about strategizing and finding a plan that works best for YOUR business. This is what is going help set a client up for success.
It’s easy to just want an answer on how to boost your sales and achieve your goals, and you’ll want a coach to give you exactly what you’re looking for. In these moments it’s important not to get distracted by a large end goal, and deeply embrace the process of building your own business off of your own ideals and goals. It requires patience in order for it to be sustainable.
What I Wish I Would Have Known About Sales Coaching Before
I wish I would have known that there is no perfect way to run a business to achieve my goals.
There was not a perfect plan for me. A good sales coach will not give you strategies that worked for their other clients. They will work with you and tailor to your business’ needs. My clients are successful because they all have their own individual sales strategies. They did the work themselves, and took a good look at their business and what their goals were. From there they were able to cultivate a strategy that worked for them, therefore boosting their sales.
I also wish I would have known that this was the best investment I made in my business.
Sales coaching ended up being the best thing I did for boosting my sales. I acknowledge that it won’t be the case for everyone. In my case, I was not making enough sales, and if I was they were sporadic or not high-ticket enough. If you aren’t making sales, you don’t have a business.
For a while, I denied that I needed sales coaching. It didn’t feel necessary, and I didn’t want to take the time to do something I didn’t think I needed. I thought I could be growing my Instagram or doing all of these other courses that would instantly make my business skyrocket. Even though I was doing what all of these different courses told me to do in order to make more money and grow my business, I still wasn’t making sales.
I had a lot of anxiety about sales. I don’t have a background in it, and I just wanted my business to flourish as much as it could. I was seeing all of these other entrepreneurs who had more knowledge about sales than I did. However, since I went through sales coaching and took the time to learn more, my business has flourished, and I’m able to offer it to others.
Final Thoughts on Sales Coaching
Sales coaching is one of the best things I did for my business. If your sales are lacking and you’re not sure what else you can do for your business, it might be beneficial for you to invest in a sales coach, too. It’s all about finding the right set of strategies for your business. If you’re wanting to get started, check out our Signature Sales Program and Scale Your Side Hustle to learn more!
