Whether it is ‘Ted’ or someone else, the essence of this is that if you want a sport that is strong at the grass roots, and a winning international team, you have to start with developing top class coaches.

In this issue Master Sales Coach Keith Rosen takes us through some of the obstacles of implementing a sales coaching programme. I find it interesting that Keith starts with the same problem of there being no ‘coach the coach’ programme, and that if you as a sales manager want a world class sales team, then you need to be a world class sales coach.

Barriers to Coaching a Sales Team

By Keith Rosen

Barrier One: No Coach the Coach Program One of my clients recently called me with questions about building an internal coaching program. It seems the person who was spearheading the initiative was having a difficult time putting the processes and procedures together as well as getting the managers to embrace the new philosophy and approach. Since the company felt they could build the internal coaching program on their own, they didn’t hire an outside expert or consultant. The person in charge of the initiative wasn't even a coach but someone in HR. Without a coach training program to develop coaching skills and competencies, you can change your managers' titles, but not their essence, their thinking, or their skills.

Barrier Two: Coaching Is a Choice—Not an Obligation The coaching relationship is a choice, not an obligation.

The relationship between the coach and the people who are coached is a designed alliance, a collaborative partnership, and more. As such, remedial or sanctioned coaching is often met with resistance rather than with open arms. How is coaching being offered to your team or to your employees? As a perk, an incentive, an

NZSM / november 2011 / 6

option, an obligation, or a remedial response to under performance? Are you offering it to your entire team, to a select few, or to just one person?

Barrier Three: Surrender Your Agenda When Coaching What if your boss walked up to you today and said, “Your career, your bonus, your position in this company, and your salary will depend on how well your team performs. That said, I want you to start coaching all the people on your team, one on one. Hold them accountable and be unconditionally supportive, while surrendering your agenda and maintaining objectivity.”

Could you do it?

My clients consist of a myriad of companies and professions, all shapes and sizes, selling products and services in practically every industry and profession.

Yet, the one truth I share with them is this: “When you work with me as your coach, this will be the only relationship you have where it will always be 100 percent about you.”

If you’re an internal coach, this may be a stretch to fully surrender any agenda or attachment to your sales team's performance, especially since their performance directly reflects on you. In such cases, there’s an inherent challenge for you, as the business owner or manager, to separate your agenda from theirs and have no personal expectation from the relationship other than your unconditional commitment to their continued growth and success.

It’s going to take some adjustment on your part to develop an unconditional and authentic relationship with your salespeople.

Coaching is a process of discovery.

A coach cannot push for results or attempt to change people overnight.

Barrier Four: You're Coaching People, not Changing People There’s a big difference between coaching people and changing people. However, for executives or front line managers who are commissioned to hit some aggressive sales numbers, coaching is the last thing they want to talk about. The real distinction is that coaching is a process of discovery. A coach cannot push for results or attempt to change people overnight. The traditional scenario to facilitate change is typically a stressed-out manager who lays the same stress on his salespeople that his boss dumped on him. “Work harder; get focused; our jobs can be on the line; just bring in some more business.” This hollow approach seldom drives change.

Barrier Five: Connection—It Has to Be the Real Thing In coaching it’s critical for unrestricted, honest communication in the coaching relationship.

It's extremely challenging to connect with your salespeople at a deeper level, the

type of connection necessary between the coach and the person being coached.

Many employees are afraid that if they disclose too much, it will be held against them in the future. So they limit their vulnerability level to what is absolutely needed to perform their job function. This restricts safe and open communication, limiting the chance to connect with your people in a way that allows coaches to get to the real issues and barriers;—barriers that are preventing improved performance.

Barrier Six: Confidentiality and No Judgment?

Sure, Boss!

Lets get right to what you're thinking. Your role as supervisor or boss presents some inherent problems with coaching that need to be addressed head on.

Given the parameters, guidelines, and principles necessary to be a masterful coach, trust is critical to make the connection. After all, if your employees can't trust you as their manager, forget even trying to coach

them. Coaching requires an elevated level of trust that transcends the superficial trust between employees and management.

And what if some of your salespeople already have a problem with you as their boss and now you're going to try and coach them? How does that get handled? Do you think any of your employees are going to just come out and say that? Think again.

As a result, this relationship could quickly turn into more of a mentoring rather than a coaching relationship. This is a major reason why companies bring in an expert coach from the outside who doesn’t have any direct ties to the company as a manager would.

The most effective leaders develop other leaders.

They encourage their people to perform as well as they do—even better. That is the sign of a true master and the real testament of a great manager.

Barrier Seven: Anyone Can Manage, Not Everyone Can Coach “I’m really not cut out to be a coach.” The hard fact is there are managers who want to be coaches, managers who need to be coaches, and managers who shouldn’t be coaches, and probably shouldn't be managers, either.

Companies that force all managers into a coaching role make a costly assumption that all of their managers would actually make great coaches, just like every college athlete should automatically make the pros. The rules work the same. Desire, attitude, ability, and skill will always be the formula for becoming a successful coach, or athlete. Then there is the mistake of pushing managers to do something they don't want to do. Managers can easily sabotage their own coaching efforts, and in the end, corporate may learn the wrong lesson: "I guess our internal coaching program didn't work."

Barrier Eight: Full Accountability If you want to become powerful, hire a powerful coach.

It's a simple, yet highly effective strategy. If you want your salespeople to be powerful, you need to be a good role model for them. As you evolve, so does your team.

Consider this truth: Your team is a reflection of you. If you're not prepared to be 100 percent accountable for the success and failure of your team, if you skirt accountability in any way, if you lack professionalism

or proficiencies in certain areas, your team will reflect these weaknesses. If you choose to evolve, so will your salespeople. If you want a world-class sales team, you have to become a world-class executive sales coach.

Barrier Nine: Competitive Managers The most effective leaders develop other leaders.

They encourage their people to perform as well as they do—even better. That is the sign of a true master and the real testament of a great manager.

But what if the manager perceives his coworkers and subordinates as a threat? What if the manager is driven strictly by ego, the need to prove himself and his worth?

What if this manager thinks he has survived only by keeping a competitive distance from his peers and salespeople? I've known managers who don't share their tools and best practices with their salespeople for fear their salespeople will outdo them. These are likely to be inferior managers who will seek to selfishly leverage the coaching relationship in a way to better themselves and their position rather than for the betterment of their sales team.

Now that we've listed the barriers that can get in the way of implementing an effective internal coaching program, do not be disheartened. With greater awareness comes choice. The good news is, you possess the power to make a difference. ■

Linkedin Company Pages 10 tips to get you started

By Linda Coles

J

ust like Facebook created their version of a company page, now so have Linkedin, but the appeal of having a company page on Linkedin, is the professional business orientated community it sits in. With 130 million business members, who wouldn’t want a business page there? There certainly won’t be anyone asking you to join his or her Farmville game!

Normally the profile pages that you set up on Linkedin are for your own personal use, and it is indeed against Linkedin’s terms and conditions to set a personal profile page up as a business. But Linkedin has seen that by capturing and promoting more business information in this community, it could make way for a whole lot more engagement and knowledge sharing.

NZSM / NOVEMBER 2011 / 10

Take a look at Dell’s page here. They have really used just about everything they can on their company page except for adding their Twitter account for some reason.

So how do you set it up?

First off, you must be a member of Linkedin.

Only one person from your company can set up the business page and you will also need to have an email address that matches, so using your Gmail address won’t work. This stops others from setting up company pages that they are not authorized to do. To start your Linkedin business page, simply click on COMPANIES on the top navigation and then ADD COMPANY.

From there it is fairly self-explanatory and you just need to follow the very easy steps, but did you know you can now:

#1

Add Video to your products and services page There is now space to add this on your product or service “home page” as well as on each individual service page. You do have a company video don’t you? With more and more companies waking up to the power of video blogging, technical videos and video training, this may be an area for you to develop if you don’t have any.

#2

Add a careers page if you have vacancies to advertise If you are currently looking for new employees, what better place to advertise than on a database with more than 80 million people! The listed vacancy will pop up on the home page of people Linkedin thinks may be interested in and many companies have had success filling vacancies through this method. What is also great is that anyone who clicks on the advertisement can easily see a whole lot more about the company and the other employees who are in their network.

#3

Get product or service recommendations from satisfied customers and display them on your page.

These recommendations are user aware which means that Linkedin will show you recommendations by people within your network if they are available. What do you think that says to me when I come across a recommendation of a service by a well-respected business contact of mine? If I trust that person, they may well have just sold me on your product or service. If Jim thinks it’s good, it must be! They are your silent sales people.

#4

Follow any company that interests you Each time a company that I am following updates something, I am notified on my status update page.

How cool is that for inside intelligence, particularly if I am a recruitment agent? They may need help to fill that vacancy that has just been created, or the person that has just been promoted may want to hear from me in their new role.

#5

The company overview page allows you to see how you may be connected to that company, a bit of inside intelligence. If you are looking to do business with that company in some way, you may have some inside connections that could possibly be helpful to you, or even pass an introduction message on to the person you need.

ow many business cards might you collect at a networking function? Five, ten, twenty or more? You get back to the office a couple of days later and sort through the cards, deciding how to follow up each one. With many conversations in a short space of time, and a couple of days in between you may well struggle to remember key points of relevance for the follow up.

3 tips to avoid the hang up reflex

By Bill James

C

ontacting someone by phone is the same as contacting anyone anywhere – there has to be a great first impression and fast connection or you may well suffer from “the hang up reflex!”

What is the hang up reflex? Exactly what it sounds like – someone looking for a reason to hang up instead of hang around! You have it too – remember the last time someone rang you about a survey as you were sitting down for dinner?

When making a call you need to get past this hang up reflex quickly so that you have the opportunity to provide the service you know you can – but the person you are calling doesn’t yet know about. If you do not, it all ends here.

NZSM / NOVEMBER 2011 / 16

When making a call you need to get past this hang up reflex quickly so that you have the opportunity to provide the service you know you can

Here are three easy tips that might help.

Firstly, address the white elephant on the table.

People hide from objections, but they transfer their nervousness about them down the phone line and so make them into a mountain. Instead, if there is a likely reaction, why not acknowledge it and get past it straight away – address the white elephant!

Secondly, have a statement that grabs their attention and creates curiosity – hopefully enough to keep them on the phone. Let’s look at a simple example.

Let’s pick one of the great subjects everyone loves to hate – insurance. Imagine ringing about life cover (with all due respect to all the fine folk in the industry, of which I used to be one!) Most people have a readymade hang up reflex in place about this subject.

So how about saying something like “Hello Mr X, I would like to talk about life insurance – and I understand the reaction that just went through your

head because it goes through everyone’s head when I say that.” (You have addressed the white elephant).

Now add a statement designed to grab their attention: “Mr X, the simple fact is that no one likes insurance but you know what, everyone also knows that nothing else does what insurance does. There is no other way to put $50 a month aside and have all the money you need when you need it most – it is a fact. Mr X, if that is of no interest, I am happy to hang up. Otherwise I have something to tell you that will take less than a minute and may be of value. Can I have my minute?”

Will it work? Not all the time. But it is a system that will help you get past that ‘hang up reflex.’

And the third tip is to remember that you will definitely have people on the end of the phone who will now be timing you to see if you take longer than a minute.

Make sure you keep that promise! ■
