Thanks the author for such an extreemely useful and practical book.

Coaching at it's finest

Very practical and helpful for anyone who want to be effective coaches. Ms. Richardson really understands what most managers and sales persons tend to do in a coaching situation and was able to 'coach' readers in how to avoid common pitfalls.

Excellent choice for learning to coach a team!

This was an excellent book. The topics included were very applicable to creating a coaching culture. It is very straight forward and easy to read and comprehend! This book will be extremely helpful in creating a coaching culture in a sales call center environment.

Sales Coaching is practical, applicable, and long overdue.

I often say to Sales Managers, "Show me a great Sales Manager with lousy salespeople and I will show you a lousy Sales Manager." Then I tell them to read 'Sales Coaching.' Linda Richardson has constructed the ultimate step-by-step guide in getting managers to reevaluate their priorities and focus their attention on improving the sales staff through effective developmental coaching. The book is easy to read and full of practical tips and coaching models that will make any sales team more productive. Most importantly, unlike many sales management books, this work translates into practical application without the brain damage. Sales Managers should be able to apply these principles immediately. Read this with a highlighter in your hand - and be prepared to transform your sales management approach.
