Key Points:

The Coaching Habit is a book that helps coaches become more effective and efficient in their work.
The book focuses on seven essential coaching questions that can be used to get better results in sales conversations.
One example of a coaching question is "What's the real challenge here for you?" which helps identify the underlying problem a customer is trying to solve.
Sales reps can use these coaching questions in their daily routines to improve their communication with customers and follow up after sales.
Coaching is all about listening and asking questions, not telling people what to do.
Sales reps should be flexible and experiment with different coaching questions and techniques.

Conclusion:

By incorporating the coaching habit into their daily routines, sales representatives can develop deeper relationships with their customers and provide the support they need to make informed decisions.
