What Makes A Good Sales Coaching Training Program
If you were recently wondering what could lead to an improvement in your sales and in the process of building a great customer base, I might have an answer for you. Its proper management combined with the right sales coaching. I suppose you knew this already, though, since you have probably been running your business for at least some time now. If you’re new to the game, though, then you should certainly take some time to learn more about the significance of sales coaching.
Fortunately for you, the sales coaching process is precisely what we are going to be talking about today. Instead of focusing on its importance, however, we are going to focus on something a bit more specific that you should definitely know. This is because you are most likely already aware of the importance of this type of coaching, so there is no need for me to waste time talking about it.
So, since we won’t be talking about the importance of sales coaching, you are now probably wondering what it is that we will be talking about. Well, in short, I am going to help you find the perfect sales training program for your business. You probably understand that great coaching depends on two things – the quality of the training program and the quality of the actual coaches.
This is common knowledge and I am sure that you knew that already. Well, it’s time for you to learn something that’s probably new to you and that is certainly of utmost importance when it comes to choosing these programs. To put it simply, you need to understand what it is that makes a good sales coaching training program, so that you can then choose the best one for your business.
If you’re still unsure of the benefits of these programs, you should read this: https://www.business2community.com/sales-management/10-benefits-sales-coaching-01974013
As explained previously, you should do your best to choose the right coaching program for your company and you won’t be able to do that unless you know precisely what it is that makes a good program. That is why I have decided to shift our focus towards that today and thus lead you towards understanding how to pick the right training program for you. So, let us start the learning process right away.
It Should Be Aligned With The Specific Selling Strategies
Every single business has its own selling strategy, doesn’t it? I am pretty sure that you already knew this. No two businesses are the same and your company certainly employs some strategies that are different from the ones employed by some other companies. This is basically common sense. While all businesses rely on certain premises, the actual strategies are certainly different.
What does this have to do with anything, though? Well, in plain words, the training program that you will end up choosing should be properly aligned with the specific selling strategies that you are using. That way, you will avoid confusing your employees by adding certain things that aren’t a part of your strategy to the coaching process. Thus, the first thing you should think about is whether the training program is aligned with your selling strategies.
It Should Get People Acquainted With Your Precise Products & Services
Since it needs to be specifically tailored to your particular needs, it goes without saying that the sales coaching training program you’ll end up choosing needs to get your employees perfectly acquainted with the precise products and services that your company is offering. Of course, they probably have some knowledge on this already. Yet, through these courses, you can deepen their knowledge and help them comprehend exactly what they have to focus on in order to successfully sell those products and services that you are offering.
It Should Address Specific Sales Barriers
Every single sales process will come across certain barriers and setbacks, and yours won’t be any different. If your employees don’t quite know what to do when they come across a barrier, that will have a negative impact on your entire business. Well, this is precisely why the training program you will choose should address those specific sales barriers and setbacks that you are known for experiencing. Make sure to always check if those setbacks are addressed in the course you are thinking of using.
The Coach Has To Be Committed
As mentioned above, the success of these programs will depend on its content and quality, as well as on the commitment of the actual coach. This is why you should always carefully think about who it is that should conduct these trainings in your company. Remember, you want to choose someone experienced, capable of transferring the necessary knowledge and, most of all, committed to the idea of properly training your staff on the entire sales process.

Again, OPEC Cuts 2024, 2025 Oil Demand Forecasts
By Adedapo Adesanya
The Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) has once again trimmed its 2024 and 2025 oil demand growth forecasts.
The bloc made this in its latest monthly oil market report for December 2024.
The 2024 world oil demand growth forecast is now put at 1.61 million barrels per day from the previous 1.82 million barrels per day.
For 2025, OPEC says the world oil demand growth forecast is now at 1.45 million barrels per day, which is 900,000 barrels per day lower than the 1.54 million barrels per day earlier quoted.
On the changes, the group said that the downgrade for this year owes to more bearish data received in the third quarter of 2024 while the projections for next year relate to the potential impact that will arise from US tariffs.
The oil cartel had kept the 2024 outlook unchanged until August, a view it had first taken in July 2023.
OPEC and its wider group of allies known as OPEC+ earlier this month delayed its plan to start raising output until April 2025 against a backdrop of falling prices.
Eight OPEC+ member countries – Saudi Arabia, Russia, Iraq, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Kazakhstan, Algeria, and Oman – decided to extend additional crude oil production cuts adopted in April 2023 and November 2023, due to weak demand and booming production outside the group.
In April 2023, these OPEC+ countries decided to reduce their oil production by over 1.65 million barrels per day as of May 2023 until the end of 2023. These production cuts were later extended to the end of 2024 and will now be extended until the end of December 2026.
In addition, in November 2023, these producers had agreed to voluntary output cuts totalling about 2.2 million barrels per day for the first quarter of 2024, in order to support prices and stabilise the market.
These additional production cuts were extended to the end of 2024 and will now be extended to the end of March 2025; they will then be gradually phased out on a monthly basis until the end of September 2026.
Members have made a series of deep output cuts since late 2022.
They are currently cutting output by a total of 5.86 million barrels per day, or about 5.7 per cent of global demand. Russia also announced plans to reduce its production by an extra 471,000 barrels per day in June 2024.

Aradel Holdings Acquires Equity Stake in Chappal Energies
By Aduragbemi Omiyale
A minority equity stake in Chappal Energies Mauritius Limited has been acquired by a Nigerian energy firm, Aradel Holdings Plc.
This deal came a few days after Chappal Energies purchased a 53.85 per cent equity stake in Equinor Nigeria Energy Company Limited (ENEC).
Chappal Energies went into the deal with Equinor to take part in the oil and gas lease OML 128, including the unitised 20.21 per cent stake in the Agbami oil field, operated by Chevron.
Since production started in 2008, the Agbami field has produced more than one billion barrels of oil, creating value for Nigerian society and various stakeholders.
As part of the deal, Chappal will assume the operatorship of OML 129, which includes several significant prospects and undeveloped discoveries (Nnwa, Bilah and Sehki).
The Nnwa discovery is part of the giant Nnwa-Doro field, a major gas resource with significant potential to deliver value for Nigeria.
In a separate transaction, on July 17, 2024, Chappal and Total Energies sealed an SPA for the acquisition by Chappal of 10 per cent of the SPDC JV.
The relevant parties to this transaction are working towards closing out this transaction and Ministerial Approval and NNPC consent to accede to the Joint Operating Agreement have been obtained.
“This acquisition is in line with diversifying our asset base, deepening our gas competencies and gaining access to offshore basins using low-risk approaches.
“We recognise the strategic role of gas in Nigeria’s energy future and are happy to expand our equity holding in this critical resource.
“We are committed to the cause of developing the significant value inherent in the assets, which will be extremely beneficial to the country.
“Aradel hopes to bring its proven execution competencies to bear in supporting Chappal’s development of these opportunities,” the chief executive of Aradel Holdings, Mr Adegbite Falade, stated.
