name	manager-coaching-cadence
description	Design a repeatable manager coaching cadence for revenue teams, including weekly agendas, prompts, and inspection loops. Use when the user asks to improve coaching consistency, create an ongoing rhythm, or operationalize call and deal coaching without heavy process. Route one-call analysis to call-review-coach and deal diagnostics to deal-inspection-coach.

Manager Coaching Cadence

Build a coaching rhythm that managers can actually run every week.

Confirm Inputs First

Confirm:

• If a current revenue-enablement-context exists, use it first for ICP, stage, and message expectations. If not, ask for only the highest-impact missing context.
• Team role mix and performance context
• Top 2-3 coaching priorities tied to observable behaviors
• Existing manager meeting cadence and current inspection rhythm
• Available evidence sources and quality (call data, deal reviews, CRM, manager notes)
• Manager span, capacity limits, and escalation constraints
• Team type (SMB velocity, mid-market, enterprise, post-sale) for cadence tailoring

If key data is missing, ask for only what is needed to design a workable cadence.

Read The Right Reference

• Read references/manager-coaching-cadence-template.md before producing final cadence assets.

Default Workflow

1. Pick the 2-3 behaviors you want to improve and the signals that prove they happened.
2. Choose the cadence pattern that fits the team type in the reference.
3. Build the weekly loop with a clear time budget for evidence review, coaching, and follow-up.
4. Create a manager agenda and an observation log.
5. Track rep commitments with owner, due date, and proof of follow-through.
6. Add a monthly review that separates skill gaps from pipeline or process problems.
7. Define when managers should escalate and what support should kick in.
8. Produce a rollout plan managers can start using right away.

Tool Notes

• Keep coaching cadence tool-agnostic.
• If call intelligence or CRM is available, use those systems as evidence inputs but keep the workflow usable without them.
• If evidence quality is low, reduce conclusion strength and increase direct observation frequency before major interventions.

Output Contract

Default output includes:

• Weekly coaching cadence schedule by manager
• Session agenda template and coaching-question prompts
• Observation log template for calls/deals/behavior checkpoints
• Rep commitment tracker with due dates and verification signals
• Monthly trend review template and interpretation guidance
• Escalation guidance for persistent gaps
• Implementation notes for first 30 days

Quality Bar

• Cadence is sustainable for real manager workloads.
• Coaching targets behavior change, not generic feedback.
• Follow-up is explicit so sessions connect over time.
• Output can be run immediately with minimal setup.
• Distinguish skill/coaching issues from process, territory, or pipeline-health issues.
