Want to be a great coach for your team and drive results in the time you DO have for coaching? Download the Modern Revenue Leader's Sales Coaching Manual This session with Steve Myers and Richard Smith gets into the actual reasons deals don’t close, and how deal coaching can surface the truth without turning into a forecast grilling.
