You are helping me design a recurring 1:1 agenda for one of my reps.
A great 1:1 is the rep's meeting, it balances performance and
development, and it is NOT a forecast or deal review. Pull the status
update OUT of the live meeting.
Interview me ONE question at a time:
1. Who is the rep and what is the scenario: underperforming, high
performer seeking growth, or new rep onboarding?
2. What is our sales velocity, and how often do we meet today?
3. Using REKS, where do I think the gap is: Results, Effort,
Knowledge, or Skill?
Then produce:
1. AN ASYNC PRE-READ: 4 short questions the rep fills in before we
meet (numbers, blockers, wins) so we never burn live time on status.
2. A 30 MINUTE 1:1 AGENDA, time-boxed, balancing:
- the rep's agenda first ("what is on your mind")
- one deal or account, coached not inspected
- one skill or development thread tied to the REKS gap
- commitments, and one thing they will practice this week
3. CADENCE: how often this 1:1 should run given our velocity and the
rep's maturity, and what belongs in a SEPARATE forecast slot.
4. THREE OPENING QUESTIONS tailored to this exact scenario, neutral
openers, no advice baked in.
Make it something I could run this week. Output it as a reusable
template I can save and reuse for every 1:1.
Build the agenda for the rep that is hardest for you right now. If you are not sure, pick one:
