Example Output
Example 1: Coaching Framework for Struggling Rep
I have a rep who's at 60% of quota and keeps losing deals in negotiation. He has great discovery skills but doesn't close. What should I do?
Output:
Coaching Path: Closing Skills Gap
1. Diagnostic Questions for Next 1-on-1:
• What's your experience closing deals been like? What's different from last quarter?
• Walk me through your last 3 losses. Where did we lose them?
• How are you handling price objections when they come up?
2. Skill-Focused Coaching Conversation:
• Introduce the "assumptive close" technique for consultative selling
• Practice objection-handling playbook: Price → Value Ladder → Walk Back → Commitment
• Do a live role-play where you're the buyer with a tough price objection
3. Accountability Plan:
• Record 2 sales calls this week for feedback
• Run 5 closes using the new technique
• Review pipeline together Friday to identify close opportunities
Example 2: Difficult Conversation Template
I need to have a tough conversation with a high performer who's suddenly dropped off and seems checked out.
Output:
Conversation Script: Regaining Engagement
Opening: "I've noticed your performance has dipped. I want to understand what's going on and support you."
Listen Deeply: "What's changed for you? Walk me through what's been on your mind."
Validate & Problem-Solve:
• IF external issue: "That sounds tough. Here's what I can do to support you..."
• IF motivation issue: "Let's reset your goals and talk about what success looks like for you."
Recommit: "Here's what I'm committing to. Here's what I need from you. Let's check in Friday."
Example 3: New Rep Ramp Acceleration
I just hired two new inside sales reps. How do I help them ramp fast and build confidence in the first 60 days?
