One thing that seems to be missing from the “coachable” descriptors is being “goal-oriented”. Those who are the most coachable always have a goal in sight and are:
* Approachable, Attentive, Receptive, Curious, Objective, Trusting, Shapeable and Confident in the hopes that those whose opinions they search out will accelerate the process of attaining their goals.

I perused the ’8 point check on coachability.’ Really, the points given made me to examine and access my personality and the marketability of my skills and products over and over. If one could adhere strictly to these ’8-point check’ there would be sales / professional breakthroughs.
I may very likely become a subscriber of’ ‘Just Sell’ in the future.

The more we learn, the more we discover how ignorant we are.Being coachable means being able to think outside the box. Just Sell always brings actionable and fresh perspectives to selling arena

Thanks, Ray.

Dave… Agreed. You should be an expert on your product and industry. The idea behind this post is that we need to remain coachable to our managers/ mentors/ coaches in order to grow.

I also am a subscriber of Just Sell and have been for many years and enjoy the site. I have never responded to comments before, and feel I have to respond to the people who tell Just Sell not to send a sales offer.
The reality of business is that Just Sell in fact, everyone needs to sell and get paid at some point or the site will end – no free lunch, ever.
It seems like a small sacrifice for the value and benefit this site brings is to allow sales communication. —- Now I feel better

You make some very interesting and valid points and suggestions. In my business (mortgages) I am expected to be an “expert”. People pay me for my knowledge, experience, and advice. I realize and admit that I “don’t know everything”. It seems to me that if I strictly follow your advice that I will be seen as being less of an expert and therefore less trusted and that it could cause me to lose clients. Buying or refinancing a house is one of the most important transactions that a person does in their lifetime. We all know about the “bad apples” in the mortgage business. I have worked very hard for many years to build a positive reputation by providing good and honest advice. Where do you suggest “drawing the line” between being “coachable” versus being a trusted advisor and expert.

What are you talking about?(Do you mean?) “”"about being with the hope that I will not be deluged with “sales opportunities”. What I admire about this site is the infromation that is shared and actionable and I don’t feel assaulted with sales messages.”"”"

I think under the quick habit you might mean What do you mean? vs How do you mean? or is it “How do you mean it?”
I found this short section on coaching and coachable very interesting and helpful. I find much of your information that way.
I am submitting these comments with the hope that I will not be deluged with “sales opportunities”. What I admire about this site is the infromation that is shared and actionable and I don’t feel assaulted with sales messages.
