Account Team Coaching

Schedule a key-account team coaching program with our founder, Barbara Weaver Smith. Programs align with the specific strategies and tactics that you most want to learn, based on an up-front assessment conducted with the sales manager and team members. We hold weekly or bi-weekly team calls plus unlimited emails, review of all your plans and decisions, plus extra calls with the team leader and/or sales manager. Coaching also includes pre-planning, meeting agendas, and a list of action steps following each call. Only the people essential to each topic area need to be involved in each call.
