The Secret to Great Sales Coaching, and Other Uses of Our New Manager Dashboard

Written by Meredith Odgers | Feb 19, 2015 2:54:22 AM

The job of the front-line sales manager can be chaotic and reactive. Moving from meetings to conference calls to customer visits, even the best sales leaders struggle to balance their daily management responsibilities with the need to develop their teams. And if time constraints weren’t enough, the supervisory skills that your top-performers-turned-sales-managers often lack can make creating an effective coaching culture particularly challenging.

Qstream fixes all that.

Our platform’s award-winning Predictive Insights Engine instantly sifts and analyzes thousands of data points from your team’s responses to scenario-based challenges to deliver real-time dashboards that let your managers quickly and easily see how their sales teams are performing.

At the same time, the system pinpoints highly targeted coaching opportunities to help managers take action immediately – not at the end of the quarter when it might be too late.

Qstream’s onboard communication tools make it easy for managers to reach out to specific individuals or the entire group directly from the dashboard. By clicking on the individual links provided in each performance category, Qstream displays an on-screen email template like this one that can be used to congratulate reps on their success, or address a skill they are struggling with. The template includes a set of recommended coaching tips to ensure success.

Even the best sales managers can fall into the trap of trying to coach too many skills at once, or coaching the wrong skills altogether. With Qstream your sales managers not only know who needs coaching, but when to coach, and the specific skills that need to be addressed. No more guessing.

The key to ultimate sales effectiveness is great sales coaching. Let Qstream help! Request a demo today or watch this short video now.
