Summary
The GROW model structures sales coaching through four sequential questions: Goal (what's the target for this account), Reality (current situation including competitors and approval processes), Opportunity (revenue potential), and Way forward (specific next steps like finding connections or securing field trials).
Strategic coaching precedes tactical coaching—sales managers should use the GROW framework to let salespeople articulate their own strategy first, which builds ownership and confidence through internalization, before shifting to tactical execution discussions.
Pipeline Review ApplicationDuring pipeline reviews, apply GROW by asking salespeople to define their specific account goal, assess reality factors (competitors, approval processes, internal connections), quantify the revenue opportunity, and outline their strategy for progression rather than jumping directly into tactical discussions.
Real coaching occurs when managers ask questions, listen, and clarify while salespeople articulate their strategy—this process of verbalization reinforces understanding and creates a clear path forward with actionable next steps like product approvals or future RFP positioning.
