Yet only 48% of salespeople say that they receive coaching, and only 13% find it helpful. * One reason sales teams have such a chaotic and disconnected view of whether coaching is confusion about what sales coaching is, and what it is not.

By stressing long-term relationships over short-term sales, sellers should form partnerships and work with buyers to achieve the best outcomes. However, while both sides have their wants, and one side’s needs should not supersede the other’s, it is still essential that sellers control the tone, tenor, and timing of the negotiation.
