Make Agreements

Whenever you have a formal or informal coaching interaction, make sure you end it with a clear agreement: “So you are going to increase your cold calling by contacting at least 10 new leads everyday. You’ll keep track in your contact log and tell me about any of the leads that seem to have potential.”

Follow up on topics discussed. Let your employee know that you want to be kept informed about how it is going.
