Leading with sales mastery and insights
International studies report that if Sales Managers are better educated in sales management and coaching, their sales teams achieve higher performance and results. There is no more positive correlation found between frequency of sales management development and sales performance.
We know first-hand about the demands on sales leaders to grow revenues, empower and inspire their team and manage the demands of the global marketplace. That’s why we are dedicated to developing effective sales managers, supporting them to get the best out of themselves and their people through Sales Essentials – our comprehensive online learning platform – or via our leadership training programs.

Excellence in managing, influencing, coaching, and leading others is directly influenced by how well you understand, develop, and manage yourself. Excellence in people leadership and management is knowing the right processes to apply in the right situation coupled with the personal insight to know how to apply them wisely.
To act as an effective manager and leader is to leave your people with a stronger understanding of ‘self’ and knowing how they can be their best in your team and business so everyone can achieve excellence. Similarly, we want you to leave us after you have participated in our sales training with a deeper understanding of ‘self’ and the ability to confidently and competently implement learnt tools and processes for both personal and business success.
Here are some the ways the Barrett Team can help you embed a coaching culture at your organisation:
- Answer the question: “Why a coaching culture?”
- Develop a viable coaching culture strategy tailored to your organisation, ensuring that:
- Coaching culture outcomes are linked to business goals
- Measures are in place to recognise and reward coaching culture behaviours.
- Train and develop the senior leadership team in a coaching based leadership style and advise ways in which they can create the cultural change required.
- Transition from your current state to your ideal state as a team and business
- Create a plan to ‘seed’ the organisation with coaching talent now and in the future, be it an internal or external community
A viable, healthy coaching culture is an evolving state of harmony where the application of coaching is integrated into and forms part of the company culture.
