For coaches

Coach what the conversation actually shows.

meritt hands every coach a read on each rep, strong, some or none on the behaviours and skills, each backed by a citation. So coaching starts from evidence, not a hunch, and the rep can see exactly why.

How it works

Proof, not a hunch.

01

Start from evidence.

Every read comes with the quote and the moment behind it. Walk into a session with proof, not an opinion the rep can argue with.

02

Target the gap.

Strong, some or none on each behaviour and skill. You know exactly what to work on next, and what to leave alone. No score to hide behind.

03

Show the progress.

Re-assess and the citations move. Progress the rep can see for themselves, and that you can point a manager at.

The output

Every read, with its evidence.

Coaching plan
Tom R.
SDR on your team · assessed 12 May

Tom is your grittiest rep and acts on feedback fast. But discovery is shallow, he pitches before he diagnoses. Fix that and his close rate moves.

Strengths
Grit Strong
“When I lost my two biggest accounts in Q2, I rebuilt the pipeline from scratch and still closed the year at target.”Recording · 14:20
Coachability Strong
“You told me to slow my discovery down, so on the next call I asked three questions before I pitched anything.”Recording · 09:05
Where to focus
Discovery Some
“I led with the demo because I already knew the product was a fit for them.”Recording · 06:32Coach: the three-why drill on his next five calls. No pitch until he has asked why, three layers deep.
Pipeline hygiene None
“Honestly, I keep most of my pipeline in my head.”Recording · 18:11Coach: a Friday pipeline review. Every open deal needs a next step and a date, or it comes off the board.
Interview notes
Sofia M.
AE candidate · assessed 14 May

Strong communicator, quick on her feet, lighter on grit. Worth probing how she handles a bad stretch before you make an offer.

What we flagged
Grit Some
“I have not really had a bad quarter, things have mostly gone my way.”Recording · 11:40
Probe these in the next round
“Tell me about a quarter you missed your number. What did you change?”Tests grit and honesty, not just the miss.
“Walk me through a deal you lost. What would you do differently?”Looks for coachability and real reflection.

Gets smarter

Your coaching compounds.

Every read teaches meritt more about what works. So the gaps you target and the progress you track get more precise the more you coach, and the rep sees it too.

Every test adds signal.

Each assessment is more labelled evidence of what good looks like, for the role and for your business.

The model learns.

meritt learns which behaviours and skills actually predict who ramps and who closes, and tunes the benchmarks.

The next read is sharper.

The more you test, the sharper every read, the better the shortlist, and the more it knows your bar.

Questions

Frequently asked.

01

How does evidence-based sales coaching work?

meritt hands you a read on each rep, strong, some or none on the behaviours and skills, each backed by a citation from what they said. So coaching starts from proof, not a hunch.

02

What is a citation in a meritt read?

The exact quote and the moment behind a judgment. Every strong, some or none comes with the evidence, so the rep can see exactly why.

03

Can I track a rep's progress?

Yes. Re-assess and the citations move, so the rep can see their own progress and you can point a manager at it.
