Fixing the Training Gap And Unlocking Sales Performance
Datamaran
"It’s rare to find a partner that delivers on every front—MySalesCoach does."
“I was being pulled in so many directions. Coaching was something I loved doing — but it wasn’t happening consistently. My team needed more than me jumping on a call once in a while — they needed real support from someone who wasn’t juggling a million things.

🧯 The Pressure to Deliver, With No Time to Coach
As a fast-moving revenue leader, Carly knew her team needed more support — but she was stretched thin across priorities.
“There’s just not enough hours in the day when you’re a player-coach.”
Even when coaching was on her agenda, it was hard to get the quality, consistency, and depth needed to drive real performance change.
“You have a one-to-one booked, but then a customer call runs over, or you’re pulled into something else. Coaching just doesn’t happen consistently.”
She saw good intentions falling through the cracks — and reps missing out on the development they needed and deserved.
🧠 A True Extension of Our Enablement Function
Carly turned to MySalesCoach to give her team the coaching she didn’t have time to deliver herself — without adding headcount.
“I didn’t have the time to coach the team properly, but I wanted to make sure they were being coached well. That’s where MySalesCoach came in.”It’s like a virtual sales enablement team — but way more flexible and hands-on.”
MySalesCoach became a core part of the team’s development rhythm, without disrupting workflows or creating friction.
“The experience is seamless. Coaches fit around the team’s schedules, and it feels like they’re part of the team.”
🚀 Real Progress and Performance Gains
It wasn’t long before Carly saw tangible improvements in rep mindset, confidence, and performance.
“You can tell when someone’s being coached. They show up to pipeline reviews clearer, more focused, with stronger messaging and better qualification.One rep in particular just blossomed. She became way more confident and clear in her approach. That’s down to coaching.”
The results weren’t just anecdotal — they showed up in metrics, too.
“The team are progressing deals more efficiently. We’ve seen a big uplift in deals moving through the pipeline.”
🔁 Coaching That Compliments Internal Support
What impressed Carly most was how well MySalesCoach fit alongside her own leadership — not replacing it, but enhancing it.
Carly describes MySalesCoach as the missing link between training and performance. It turns learning into action — and makes it stick.“It’s not about outsourcing leadership. It’s about giving your team another touchpoint — someone they can turn to for help, guidance, and accountability.It frees me up to lead strategically, while knowing my team are still getting high-quality coaching.”
And the team actually look forward to sessions.“We’ve tried training before — and it’s fine in the moment, but then it fizzles out.”“This is different. Because it’s regular, personalised coaching, it creates real behaviour change. It sticks.”
“They love it. It doesn’t feel like another task — it feels like something they get real value from. A lot of the team have been promoted, and I know they'd be quite vocal about the part MySalesCoach played in that.”
Her advice to other revenue leaders?
“If you care about developing your people and hitting revenue targets — but don’t have the time to coach every person as much as they need — then MySalesCoach is a no-brainer.”
The Result of Coaching:
- Two BDRs promoted to AE roles within six months
- Continued coaching in new roles led to accelerated ramp-up and success
- Increase in sales-accepted opportunities driven by improved process execution
- Enhanced team confidence and autonomy through consistent coaching support
- Strategic clarity and focus at the leadership level
- Team-wide satisfaction with coaching engagement and structure
