    Shep Maher of Betterworks talks to Rob about the state of sales coaching in business today. Shep explains that while sales coaching is getting a lot of attention from companies right now, the skill of sales managers is not where it needs to be. One particular area that needs attention is the level of individualization each leader gives to each sales rep. Each coaching session needs to have a consistent time and a consistent focus on the individual, and each rep needs to know that the sales leader is invested in their success. Shep is a true champion of sales coaching, and we learn a lot from him in this episode.
