Sales Excellence Awards

Sales Coach of the Year Award

Making other salespeople better.

About this category

This award recognises a sales coach, trainer or mentor, internal or external, whose work has measurably improved the performance of other salespeople. Judges look for evidence of impact on the people coached, not only the quality of the material.

Eligibility

  • Open to internal and external sales coaches
  • Trainers and mentors

Judging criteria

  • Measurable improvement in those coached
  • Coaching method
  • Relevance
  • Feedback from participants
  • Lasting change

Qualitative criteria

  • Clarity
  • Empathy and the ability to change behaviour
  • Not just share knowledge

Metrics

  • Before and after performance of participants
  • Participant feedback
  • Adoption of techniques and repeat engagements

Additional criteria

Entries should include a concise case study, supporting figures and, where possible, client, manager or colleague evidence. Commercially sensitive numbers may be given as percentages or ranges. Judges consider the scale of the business and the market the entrant sells into, so smaller teams compete on equal terms.
