Refract was born from our own experiences. We knew sales coaching was broken - and that we could start help to fix it, or at least provide the tools to help companies ensure effective coaching and peer collaboration. As managers, coaches and reps, we understand the value of coaching, collaboration and sharing best practice. But being honest, it’s never easy. Finding the time to ride along, lacking a shared reflection and delivering praise or ideas, let alone corrective feedback isn’t a simple skill to master.
