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.

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.

NEITI Advocates Fiscal Discipline, Transparency as FG, States, LGs Get N6trn in Three Months
By Adedapo Adesanya
The Nigeria Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (NEITI) has called for fiscal discipline and transparency as data showed that federal government, states, and local governments shared a whopping N6 trillion Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) disbursements in the third quarter of last year.
In its analysis of the FAAC Q3 2025 allocation, the body revealed that the federal government received N2.19 trillion, states received N1.97 trillion, and local governments received N1.45 trillion.
According to a statement by the Director of Communication and Stakeholders Management at NEITI, Mrs Obiageli Onuorah, the allocation indicated a historic rise in federation account receipts and distributions, explaining that year-on-year quarterly FAAC allocations in 2025 grew by 55.6 per cent compared with Q3 of 2024 while it more than doubling allocations over two years.
The report contained in the agency’s Quarterly Review noted that the N6 trillion included 13 per cent payments to derivative states. It also showed that statutory revenues accounted for 62 per cent of shared receipts, while Value Added Tax (VAT) was 34 per cent, and Electronic Money Transfer Levy (EMTL) and augmentation from non-oil excess revenue each accounted for 2 per cent, respectively.
The distribution to the 36 states comprised revenues from statutory sources, VAT, EMTL, and ecological funds. States also received additional N100 billion as augmentation from the non-oil excess revenue account.
The Executive Secretary of NEITI, Mr Sarkin Adar, called on the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation, the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) FAAC, the National Economic Council (NEC), the National Assembly, and state governments to act on the recommendations to strengthen transparency, accountability, and long-term fiscal sustainability.
“Though the Quarter 3 2025 FAAC results are encouraging, NEITI reiterates that the data presents an opportunity to the government to institutionalise prudent fiscal practices that will protect the gains that have been recorded so far in growing revenue and reduce vulnerability to commodity shocks.
“The Q3 2025 FAAC results are encouraging, but windfalls must be managed with discipline. Greater transparency, realistic budgeting, and stronger stabilisation mechanisms will ensure these resources deliver durable benefits for all Nigerians,” Mr Adar said.
NEITI urged the government at all levels to ensure the growth of Nigeria’s sovereign wealth and stabilisation capacity, by committing to regular transfers to the Nigeria Sovereign Wealth Fund and other related stabilisation mechanisms in line with the fiscal responsibility frameworks.
It further advised governments at all levels to adopt realistic budget benchmarks by setting more conservative and achievable crude oil production and price assumptions in the budget to reduce implementation gaps, deficit, and debt metrics.
This, it said, is in addition to accelerating revenue diversification by prioritising reforms that would attract investments into the mining sector, expedite legislation to modernise the Mineral and Mining Act, support reforms in the downstream petroleum sector, as well as the full implementation of the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA) to expand domestic refining and value addition.

Nigeria has been projected to record an economic growth rate of 4.4 per cent in 2026 by the World Bank Group, higher than the 3.7 per cent earlier predicted in June 2025.
In its 2026 Global Economic Prospects report released on Tuesday, the global lender also said the growth for next year for Nigeria is 4.4 per cent rather than the 3.8 per cent earlier projected.
As for the sub-Saharan African region, the economy is forecast to move up to 4.3 per cent this year and 4.5 per cent next year.
It stressed that growth in developing economies should slow to 4 per cent from 4.2 per cent in 2025 before rising to 4.1 per cent in 2027 as trade tensions ease, commodity prices stabilise, financial conditions improve, and investment flows strengthen.
In the report, it also noted that growth is expected to jump in low-income countries by 5.6 per cent due to stronger domestic demand, recovering exports, and moderating inflation.
As for the world economy, the bank said it is now 2.6 per cent and not 2.4 per cent due to growing resilience despite persistent trade tensions and policy uncertainty.
“The resilience reflects better-than-expected growth — especially in the United States, which accounts for about two-thirds of the upward revision to the forecast in 2026,” a part of the report stated.
“But economic dynamism and resilience cannot diverge for long without fracturing public finance and credit markets,” it noted.
World Bank also said, “Over the coming years, the world economy is set to grow slower than it did in the troubled 1990s — while carrying record levels of public and private debt.
“To avert stagnation and joblessness, governments in emerging and advanced economies must aggressively liberalise private investment and trade, rein in public consumption, and invest in new technologies and education.”
