Coach to quota by giving each rep a scorecard (meetings, opps, coverage, stage conversion, win rate, time-in-stage), setting Goals with alerts, and running weekly deal & call reviews from HubSpot records using Conversation Intelligence. Standardize next steps with task queues, sequences, and playbooks, then manage progress through a 30-60-90 plan. One dashboard tracks inputs and outcomes so managers coach with evidence.

Rep Coaching Checklist

Rep scorecard — meetings set, opps created, pipeline coverage, stage conversion, win rate, time-in-stage.
Goals & alerts — quota, meetings, and pipeline coverage with SLA timers and breach notifications.
Call coaching — conversation intelligence, playlists, talk-ratio prompts, and coach notes saved to the record.
Sequences & task queues — standardized outreach for gaps (no reply, no access, no next step).
Playbooks — discovery guides, MEDDICC fields, objection handling, and mutual action plans on deals.

30-60-90 HubSpot Coaching Plan

Execution Flow

  • Baseline (Week 0): Build a rep dashboard: meetings, opps created, pipeline coverage (x3–x4 of quota), time-to-first-touch, time-in-stage, win rate, ASP. Identify 2–3 gaps.
  • Days 1–30: Set Goals for leading indicators (meetings/opps). Create task queues and enroll sequences tied to those goals. Run weekly 1:1s from HubSpot with deal + call reviews.
  • Days 31–60: Add playbooks for discovery and objection handling. Use conversation intelligence to build a “best calls” playlist. Tighten stage exit criteria to remove zombie deals.
  • Days 61–90: Shift to quality metrics: stage conversion, win rate, and velocity. A/B test emails/snippets; refine talk tracks. Start/stop/scale based on scorecard trends.
  • Milestone review: If targets are missed, trigger a formal PIP with weekly checkpoints, manager shadowing, and content/territory adjustments.

Keep coaching observable and repeatable: every 1:1 links to a deal, a call recording, and one change in behavior. Celebrate removals from pipeline bloat and progress toward self-sourced coverage.

Practical Guidance for Managers

Lead before you lag. Coach to inputs you can control—new opps, meetings, next steps logged—while keeping win rate and ASP in view.

Standardize next-step hygiene. Every deal leaves a meeting with a documented next meeting, stakeholders, and mutual plan; breaches trigger tasks or sequences.

Make call reviews surgical. Use talk ratios, topic flags, and playlists to focus on openings, discovery depth, and closing language—not generic praise.

Protect time. Task queues batch work; calendar blocks enforce prospecting SLAs; quiet hours reduce context switching.

Close the loop. Log loss reasons and competitor notes via playbooks; route insights to marketing for better targeting and assets.

Frequently Asked Questions

What belongs on a rep scorecard?
Leading: meetings set, opportunities created, next-step compliance, and first-touch time. Lagging: stage conversion, win rate, ASP, and time-in-stage.
How often should I coach?
Weekly 1:1s anchored to HubSpot: review two deals, one call, and the scorecard. Add daily huddles during the first 30 days of a plan.
Which Sales Hub tools help most?
Goals, Dashboards, Conversation Intelligence, Playbooks, Task Queues, Sequences, and Deal Automations for SLA timers and escalations.
How do I keep reps accountable?
Time-bound milestones, visible dashboards, automated alerts for SLA breaches, and documented action items in each 1:1.
What if performance doesn’t improve?
Escalate to a formal PIP with weekly targets, manager shadowing, territory/content adjustments, and a clear off-ramp if milestones are missed.
