How Sales Training Prevents Your Sales Success – Sales Coaching

How much time, energy, and money have you invested in sales training programs, seminars, workshops, and books? If you’re serious about becoming a top sales professional the total is a healthy amount…perhaps so significant you could buy a car or at least make a couple house payments with that money. You deserve a pat on the back for your commitment to your success.

However, I must ask you by what percentage have your results improved as a direct result of any of those things? Now some of you will be able to answer with exact dollar amounts that are worthwhile returns on your investment while others really don’t have a result they can tie to that investment. So, what’s the deal here?

It’s not your fault if you haven’t dramatically increased sales or entered the elite group of Top Producers as a result in the investments you’ve made in sales training programs etc. There is fatal flaw with all these things that few openly talk about yet everyone has experienced. And this flaw is really two-fold.

First, throughout all the years of formal education you have, how did you learn things? Well, you were taught to learn the things that are really important, things you’d use for the rest of your life like the rules of English grammar through spaced repetition. You don’t learn things from a one-time exposure unless those things are so dramatic or traumatic they’re indelibly etched in your mind. The reason sales training programs, seminars, workshops, book, etc. don’t work is because they’re one-time or short-term events. Consequently you have an awareness without a deeply ingrained learned skill to back that awareness up and achieve results.

Second, you have blind spots to your own mistakes. Psychologists have discovered that divorced people tend to marry the same person (in terms of their personality traits) over and over again with the same heartbreaks. Obviously the people in these flawed relationships do not realize or acknowledge repetition of the mistake, and are traumatized by the repeated experience. Sound akin to your sales experiences? None of those one-time short-term tools provide the one-on-one follow-up attention you need to first discover the behaviors that are preventing your success, and develop a plan to form new behaviors that support your success. Individual sales coaching does the very things these one-time short-term approaches don’t. Individual sales coaching provides the spaced repetition required to develop and learn new skills with the on-going support to implement them and shorten the learning curve. Thus you get a direct return on your investment in terms of the results you get.
