When to Implement CALL COACHING In the very early stages of a business, you may only be training employees on tools and processes. After initial training, that knowledge can be used to improve on their trained skills, and coaching becomes the best way to boost your business. Look for the following signs that it’s time to begin coaching: You want employees to develop performance in specific competencies using performance management tools. You have talented employees who are not meeting expectations or whose performance can be improved (for example, by raising appointment setting rates by 10%). You introduce a new system or program and employees need to achieve certain levels of results using it (for example, recovering missed customer calls). You have recently hired new staff and need to bring them up to speed with the other call handlers’ skills as quickly as possible. 11
