Sales Coaching & Training with LSA Global

“We engaged with LSA Global for sales coaching training to help our team identify opportunities to accelerate our commitment to sales excellence.

The coaching and skill building workshops were adapted to our specific business dynamics and provided our sales and service reps with the models and tools to leverage on every customer call.”
Grant Clarke | Director Client Delivery | ServiceSource Corporation

“The sales coaching training enabled us to effectively position, bundle, and negotiate our newer high value offerings with our traditional services. The sales team feels empowered to “take back the high ground” to be the market leader in our industry.

Our performance certainly reflects the value we are bringing to our customers.”
David Zavitz | Vice President Sales | Livingston International

“Your sales coach is excellent. We also used him for sales leadership, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. Thank you!”

Shaun Callaghan | Sector Vice President Sales | Trimble Inc.

There is substantial evidence that sales professionals who receive consistent sales coaching from managers and mentors achieve significantly higher levels of performance than those who receive little or no coaching.

In fact, recent McKinsey research found that top sales organizations commit 79% more time coaching their sales reps. Our own research found that reps who are consistently coached outperform their peers 4-to-1 in terms of quota attainment. Unfortunately, the majority of sales leaders and managers tell us that they don’t have the skills or the time to coach their sales teams.

The truth is that most sales leaders and managers are preoccupied with hitting their numbers rather than meeting the needs of their sales reps.

The good news is that effective sales coaching improves your chances of success. And even if you feel you have zero capacity to coach others, it does not have to distract you from meeting targets. Based upon more than 800 sales measurement projects involving organizations from 72 countries and a broad spectrum of industries, this coaching workshop is based upon the proven characteristics of high-performing sales managers and sales leaders who consistently meet and exceed sales quotas.

As with professional athletes, the sales coach provides perspective and feedback that result in improved sales performance in terms of increasing revenue, meeting or exceeding quota, negotiating greater margins, having higher close rates, selling to executives, selling solutions, winning bigger deals, and achieving higher account penetration.

Do you have “B” and “C” players holding back sales performance?
Could your sales leaders use help to more effectively motivate their team members and equip them for success?
Would a formal sales coaching methodology lift your sales reps to a higher level of performance?
Are you lacking the sales tools and processes necessary to help your sales force succeed?
Would you like to improve the accountability and results of your sales force?
Are your sales leaders only coaching to the “lagging indicators” of performance?

If you answered yes to any of the above questions, then this proven workshop is for you.
