How it Works

  • Modality Guide
  • Students are completing their information gathering role plays on October 30+31 and March 18+19
  • Read the Corporate Coaching Session Assignment Schedule that was sent out (around 1 week prior) and find the students you have been grouped with.  There are multiple session blocks, so please read the entire sheet to know if you have been scheduled for 1, 2, 3, or more blocks.  The schedule also includes the ESSPS Zoom meeting links for each block that is online.
  • Use the ESSPS Showcase's Role Play Channel (login credentials in your organization profile in Memberclicks, watch tutorial on accessing Role Play channel in the ESSPS Showcase) to watch the Information Gathering Role Play for your assigned professional sales students and complete an evaluation before the actual session.  Role plays are able to be viewed on mobile devices.  A copy of the role play scenario is sent prior as well.
  • Day of - Onsite
    • Check-in to SB 4100.  Extra evaluation forms, coffee, water, and snacks will be available.  You will be directed to your coaching location shortly before the class starts.
    • We will return to this room for the Advisory Board Meetings
    • Meet your professional sales students in your coaching location (see Assignment Schedule) and conduct coaching sessions using the role play recording and evaluation as relevant
  • Day of - Online
    • Click on the Zoom meeting link for your block.  Coaches and students will begin in the waiting room, and the ESSPS Admin will admit people to make sure everyone has showed up for the right block.
    • Wait for the ESSPS Admin to launch the preassigned breakout rooms.  Once launched, you may need to click Join to enter your private breakout room. 
    • Meet your professional sales students in your private Zoom breakout room for the Corporate Coaching Session and conduct coaching sessions using the role play recording and evaluation as relevant.  Screen sharing will be enabled; watch tutorial on being a Zoom participant.
