In this article, we focus on Sales Coaching for Sales Coaches. Often, in sales, the sales manager is not held to the same standards as those on the sales force.

Remember, differentiation only becomes value once a customer understands it and connects to a customer-desired outcome. It only turns into differentiated value — that moves a buying decision – when that value is offered by only one seller…when it’s different.
