How Managers Coach Remote Salespeople Through a Pandemic

How Managers Coach Remote Salespeople Through a Pandemic

Managers, if you’re still managing and having the same conversations you had back in 2019, you’re setting your team, and yourself, up for failure.

How effective are you when it comes to coaching fear, confidence, attitude, and ensuring that your team feels connected and supported, not alone?

More than ever, it’s essential for managers to learn how to coach their team through difficult times of fear and uncertainty, something that only 18% of managers have actually been trained on how to do.

Compound this with the deeper, more personal conversations most managers and salespeople have never had before. Especially now that we're actually living in the homes of our coworkers and customers via Zoom and Teams and every other videoconferencing platform, it's no wonder that companies are still scrambling to reinvent their sales and leadership model. That's why I created this course for you.
