Progress Coaching is a pioneer in the workplace coaching movement with over 26 years of experience helping organizations increase engagement, develop and retain top talent, and create a strong workplace culture by developing managers into coaches!

What we do: 

Using our proven methodology and training system, we will create a custom coaching strategy that:

✅ Saves your organization (and your managers) TIME and MONEY
✅ Speaks directly to YOUR sales or service processes
✅ Promotes and drives YOUR organizational values
✅ INCREASES ENGAGEMENT and REDUCES TURNOVER through a culture of coaching and feedback

You name it, we’ve built it! NO MATTER WHAT the scenario, we can provide a coaching solution – guaranteed!

How it works: 

⭐ We’ll assess your organization’s current culture and goals
⭐ Design a coaching strategy that fits your unique needs
⭐ Deliver training through virtual workshops, online courses, and on-demand resources 
⭐ Facilitate group & one-on-one coaching that addresses YOUR real-life workplace challenges!
⭐ Provide on-going support you can count on! 


Why it works:

✅ Relieve the burden from HR: instead of deferring to HR for every tough conversation or performance issue, managers learn how to have coaching conversations that create strong connections, build trust, and inspire action! 

✅ L&D teams are supported: managers will learn how to structure their conversations to increase performance and become partners in driving the training & development initiatives your organization is already doing!

✅ Managers save time: managers will learn techniques to engage with employees and inspire positive change in as little as 8-12 minutes per week using our proven 4-step coaching conversation model! Through supplemental coaching strategies, managers will learn to scale their time and drive development without even being present! 

✅ Adults learn best when the material directly applies to them, and traditional training alone does not accomplish this. Our PODs format is survey-driven, targeting participants' actual workplace management and coaching challenges, with instruction, discussion, activities, and practice!

President of Progress Coaching  (Till Day I Die)

I own and operate Progress Coaching with 7 employees - we teach managers a very powerful and proven system to engage and develop their staff into high performing talent. We help groups develop, retain and recruit talent by using technology and coaching solutions to increase the bottom line. Progress Coaching has many client types from publicly traded companies to professional sports teams to credit unions to manufacturing companies to banks to people who simply want to become certified Progress Coaches.

What if your most powerful sales coach doesn’t sit in your sales meetings but sits across the table from your sales team every day? 

We often focus on pipelines, close rates, and activity metrics. However, what if the real accelerator of performance is customer perception? When customers intentionally provide structured feedback on listening skills, responsiveness, value creation, and trust-building, sales improvement shifts from being theoretical to market-driven. 

This article explores a bold idea: turning customers into performance partners. By doing so, organizations can foster faster growth, stronger relationships, and a true competitive edge. 

For those serious about building a market-aware sales culture rather than just a metric-aware one, this perspective may challenge conventional thinking about coaching.

What If Your Customers Coached Your Salespeople?

This is myself and my good buddy Philip Rodriguez who's been producing my webinars now for 10 plus years along with he and Gary Van Antwerp they have been fantastic to me and this is my 20th straight year with one exception attending the Training Magazine conference. This conference is run by great people and we have a lot of fun evidenced by the torture I've given this man during my webinars. It actually pales in comparison to what I did to Lorri Freifeld years ago when she had to host one of my webinars but the funny thing is these people can have fun but they also work hard for their customers. If you've never attended a training magazine event I would encourage you to do so

What if your toughest competitor took twice as many shots — and you still won?

That’s exactly what happened when Team USA beat Canada 2–1 in overtime.

Canada: 38 shots on goal.
USA: 20.
Final score? USA wins.

Too many sales managers are obsessed with activity.
More calls.
More demos.
More quotes out the door.
More shots = more goals… right?
Not always.

USA didn’t win because they took more shots.

They won because they made their opportunities count.

Quality > volume.

Your team could be sending twice as many proposals as your competition and still losing.

The real question isn’t:
“How many quotes went out this week?”

It’s:
“Were those opportunities actually qualified?”

And then there’s the other half of the game: defense. USA was the underdog. They protected their net during a 5-on-3 power play. They didn’t break under pressure for 60+ minutes. They stayed disciplined — and closed in OT.

In sales, that’s:
Protecting margin
Preventing pipeline leaks
Staying disciplined when a prospect goes quiet
Following a process instead of chasing hope

The scoreboard only shows one number:
Wins.
Not shots.
Not proposals.
Wins.

Is your team measuring what actually matters?

SalesAware: The First Customer Driven Coaching Platform for Sales People

What if the best sales coach in your organization isn’t your VP of Sales, your trainer, or your top producer? What if it’s your customer?

This week, I’m going LIVE for 15 minutes to present a concept that flips traditional sales coaching on its head. We will explore how SalesAware™ transforms real client feedback into:

- Clear behavioral insight
- Structured coaching conversations
- Self-coaching plans for representatives
- Leader-driven coaching roadmaps
- Measurable improvement over time

No fluff. No theory overload. Just a straightforward 4-step system:

Form → Automation → QALMS Coaching Model → Actionable Output

If you’ve ever wondered:

- “Why aren’t my reps getting this?”
- “I wish I knew what customers actually think.”
- “We need better accountability without creating defensiveness.”

You’ll want to be there. 

Here’s the truth: Salespeople may resist coaching, but they will always listen to the customer. When you systematize that voice, performance changes.

Join me live for 17 minutes for a big shift. Drop a 🔥 or comment “LIVE” and I’ll send you the details. Let’s turn customer perception into performance.

I'm hosting SalesAware: The First Customer Drive Coaching Platform for Sales People. Make sure to attend it on March 20.

SalesAware: Let the Customer Be the Coach

In the world of sales, we dedicate significant time to training, role-playing, scripting, and coaching. We analyze closing ratios, pipeline velocity, activity levels, and revenue per representative. However, the most impactful coaching voice in the sales ecosystem is often overlooked: the customer.

SalesAware is founded on a transformative belief: when customers provide structured feedback about their sales experience, that feedback becomes the most credible and behavior-shaping coaching tool available to a sales organization.

Why Customer Feedback Changes Everything

Salespeople may debate a manager’s perspective, rationalize peer feedback, or resist formal training. Yet, they rarely ignore the customer. When a customer shares insights such as:

- “I felt rushed.”
- “You didn’t fully understand our business.”
- “Your follow-up was exceptional.”
- “You earned our trust.”

This feedback resonates differently. It is not theoretical or opinion-based; it represents market-based truth. SalesAware harnesses that truth to drive development within the sales team.

I help coaches & course creators attract clients 24/7 through web design, email funnels, and automation systems. My goal? Give you a platform that works in the background so you can focus on coaching, not tech.

Most coaches and course creators struggle with two things:
👉 Attracting the right clients consistently
👉 Managing the tech and systems without burning out

That’s where I come in.

I help coaches and course creators design client-attracting websites, set up email funnels that nurture and convert, and build automation systems that save them hours each week — so they can focus on serving clients, not fighting tech.

 My approach is simple: clarity + systems + results.

✅ Web Design that clearly communicates your value and builds trust.
✅ Email Funnels that turn followers into paying clients.
✅ Automation Systems that run in the background, giving you back time and freedom.

 My Skills & Tools:

Web Design & Development (WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, Systeme.io)

Email Marketing & Funnels (Mailchimp, Systeme.io, automation flows)

Automation & Integration (Make, Zapier, CRM systems)

UI/UX Design (Figma, modern, user-friendly layouts)

The result? Coaches I work with walk away with platforms that work 24/7 — attracting, nurturing, and converting clients, even while they sleep.

 Ready to stop stressing over tech and finally build a business that runs smoothly?

👉 Let’s connect and discuss how I can help you create systems that bring more freedom, clients, and growth.
