Skill Will Coaching Certification

Develop Every Rep, By the Book

"Develop every rep with precision."

6 live 2‑hour Zoom sessions Taught by Bart Fanelli 8–25 seats per cohort Certification badge

The path

One usable model for developing every rep — not four different judgment calls.

Skill‑Will Coaching is built from Skillibrium's 4-Box Coaching Approach — the skill/will matrix that classifies every rep as a Day 1 Learner, a High Performer, At Risk, or Too Late. It's the "how leaders develop people" curriculum for anyone who coaches reps.

Most managers coach every rep the same way, regardless of what's actually holding them back. This path gives leaders a single, repeatable model for diagnosing whether a rep's gap is skill, will, or both — and exactly what to do next for each of the four boxes.

AI has changed how sales leaders track performance, analyze calls, and handle reporting — but it hasn't changed what makes a rep actually develop and perform. This path is built for that gap: managers learn to clear the noise and double down on the targeted diagnosis, human coaching, and judgment calls AI can't make for them.

Timing

Six live sessions, one pillar at a time.

Every session runs two hours over Zoom, scheduled to suit your team's availability. Leaders will use company-approved AI workflows to analyze performance evidence and prep for 1:1s, helping them diagnose skill and will gaps faster and execute their coaching rhythm with greater precision.

The Skill‑Will Framework

Learning to diagnose whether a rep's gap is skill, will, or both — before choosing how to coach it.

2

Day 1 Learners

Coaching high-will, low-skill reps — building competence fast without burning out their motivation.

3

High Performers

Retaining and stretching high-will, high-skill reps so they don't stagnate or walk.

4

At‑Risk Reps

Re-engaging high-skill, low-will reps whose output has quietly started to slip.

5

Too Late

Making the hard, evidence-based call on low-skill, low-will reps who aren't developing.

6

Building Your Coaching Cadence & Certification

Managers apply the matrix to their own roster and certify against the standard.

Outcomes

What a certified manager does differently in their next 1:1.

✓

Diagnoses before coaching

Places every rep on the matrix before deciding how to develop them.

✓

Ramps new reps faster

Has a specific playbook for Day 1 Learners instead of generic onboarding.

✓

Keeps high performers engaged

Stretches top reps deliberately instead of letting them plateau.

✓

Catches at-risk reps earlier

Notices a will problem before it shows up in the pipeline.

✓

Makes the hard calls with evidence

Handles "too late" situations on the record, not on a hunch.

✓

Coaches consistently across the team

Every manager in the org uses the same model, so coaching stops depending on who a rep happens to report to.

Spotlighting the instructor

Every session, taught live by a practitioner — not pre-recorded.
