Welcome to episode 4 in our series of podcasts developed around the content of our recently published book, Coaching Winning Sales Teams co-authored by Tim Chapman, Tony Smith and Lynn Pickford.

We spent two years researching the mindset, behaviours and skills of elite coaches in the world of business and sport and in this series we further explore these findings with our guests.

This week we had the great pleasure of welcoming organisational psychologist, Professor Damian Hughes.

Damian is an international speaker, best-selling author and an expert in high performance, sporting cultures and how teams achieve great success.  He co-hosts the hugely successful podcast, High Performance with Jake Humphrey.

Lynn has known Damian for over 12 years first meeting him at a coaching masterclass and she was struck by how he blends his academic research and opinions into memorable and entertaining stories. We also have Damian to thank for introducing us to Tony. 

We think you’re going to really enjoy listening to this insightful and inspiring conversation in which we talked to Damian about one of our 9 behaviours: Creating an Environment for Success.

Coaching Winning Sales Teams

A series of Podcasts developed around the content of our recently published book, Coaching Winning Sales Teams. In this series the authors (Tim Chapman, Lynn Pickford and Tony Smith) will be exploring the coaching mindset, behaviours and skills required to develop high performing sales teams. We will be joined on this journey by some special guests from the world of business and sport.Great sales coaching positively impacts individual, team and organisational sales performance. However, in today’s results-driven and time-poor business world, the embedding of sales coaching into everyday practice is often overlooked. This guide utilises the authors’ own experiences of helping companies and individuals turn average, static and infrequent sales coaching regimes into successful business strategies for winning sales teams. Looking at the reality of sales coaching today, the book explores the how, what and why of sales coaching. Through extensive research into elite coaches in the world of business and sports the authors analyse the mindset, skills and behaviours required to be a top sales coach. They also consider, how to be coached. How the sales person can overcome any natural shyness, fear of performance critique and seek out specific, timely and actionable coaching feedback.Using the latest thinking in neuroleadership and psychology, the book outlines the nine key behaviours of a great coach and provides a range of practical sales coaching models, tools and techniques which can be easily integrated into a sales leaders every-day pressurised role.Coaching Winning Sales Teams is an essential read for sales leaders and professionals, alongside researchers and practitioners working in HR, Learning and Development and Sales Effectiveness.
