In this compilation episode of Sales [UN]Training, Kelly Riggs shares his best insights into the crucial distinction between sales coaching and sales training, highlighting how effective coaching can be the key differentiator for successful sales organizations. The episode features strategies from industry expert Dave Kurlan, founder of Objective Management Group, who underscores the shortcomings of traditional sales training, which often focuses too heavily on product knowledge rather than understanding customer problems and developing practical selling skills. Kurlan argues that great sales coaching involves continuous, hands-on development and problem-solving, rather than just onboarding and product training.

The episode also features Graham Hawkins, founder of Sales Tribe, who discusses the under-appreciated role of sales coaches and how leaders often misinterpret coaching as merely giving directives. Hawkins and Riggs agree that true coaching requires creating an environment where salespeople can admit their weaknesses and work on them constructively. The conversation touches on the importance of role-playing, real-time practice, and the need for sales leaders to spend more time in the field with their teams. This episode is packed with actionable advice for transforming sales training into a more dynamic, supportive, and effective coaching process.
