Sales training and coaching · Sales careers and mindset
The person at the counter sells more than your sales team thinks.
An everyday selling audit counts how often each person in the business moves someone to do something: buy, accept a price, add an item, wait for stock. It runs for one working week and ends with a list of selling moments the business is missing, and the coaching each person needs.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.
In one paragraph
An everyday selling audit counts how often each person in the business moves someone to do something: buy, accept a price, add an item, wait for stock. It runs for one working week and ends with a list of selling moments the business is missing, and the coaching each person needs.
At a hardware store in Belagavi, the owner thinks the three outdoor reps do all the selling. The counter boy talks a contractor out of a cheaper pipe and into the better one. The accountant persuades a slow payer to settle half today. A customer asks the delivery driver whether the store stocks sealant. The driver does not know.
The audit makes these moments visible. For one working week, every person writes down each time they tried to move someone: to accept a price, try an extra item, pay sooner, wait for a restock. They note the result. Totals go into one table.
The owner runs it and everyone takes part, sales and non-sales. It replaces the belief that only the reps sell, and it shows where untrained people are already doing sales work with no help.
It leads to coaching. Blame is not the point. The audit sits beside the self-check on buyer view, the resilience log and the skills baseline.
Where this sits
Topic 1 of 8 in sales training and coaching: sales careers and mindset. How salespeople grow, and the habits that keep them selling after rejection.

- Prospecting and meeting-booking practice
If you want this done for you
My salespeople do not follow up, do not handle objections and do not close.
The work
What this is actually like.
“The word selling is the obstacle”
Counter staff and accountants dislike the word. Brief the team with three plain examples from your own store: justifying a price, suggesting a matching item, asking a customer to clear an old bill. Run the briefing in the language the team speaks together.
“Price talk happens away from the sales desk”
Customers ask the accountant about discounts and ask the driver whether a delivery can be earlier. These people hold real influence over the order and no script. Find where price conversations happen in practice, and not where your org chart says they do.
“Missed moments cost more than lost sales”
A customer buys paint and nobody mentions the brush. A patient books a scan and nobody mentions the follow-up visit. The log will show what was never offered. Those gaps are the quiet revenue the business is not asking for.
“A week is enough to see a pattern”
Do not run the audit for a month. One honest week gives each person five or more moments, which is enough for the owner to spot who sells easily, who avoids it and which moments no one touches. A longer log turns into a chore and the entries thin out.
What we do
What you end up with.
The documents this topic produces, what each one is for, and how you know it is finished.
The team briefing
A ten-minute talk with three local examples and the explanation that everyone sells ideas, offers or price. The owner gives it and takes questions.
Result: Finished when every person can give one example from their own day.
The personal logging sheet
Columns: day, who I spoke to, what I tried to move them to do, what happened. One sheet per person, kept in a pocket or on a phone.
Result: Finished when every person has at least five rows by Saturday.
The audit table
One row per person. Columns: moments logged, moments that worked, best example, moment they avoided. The owner fills it from the sheets.
Result: Finished when the owner can see who sells the most and who sells the least without being asked.
The untapped moments list
Selling moments the business has but never uses: no add-on offered at billing, no follow-up question at delivery, no payment ask on a reminder call.
Result: Finished when the top three untapped moments each have a named person to try them.
The coaching list
Who needs help with what, who will coach them, and the date. Matched to skills the person has shown, not to job titles.
Result: Finished when a re-run of the audit is on the calendar for the next quarter.
