At MySalesCoach, we believe every sales rep and manager has untapped potential. The kind that’s held back by bottlenecks in skill, process, or mindset (not by talent.) We match your team with world-class, experienced coaches who’ve “been there” so that 1:1 coaching isn’t generic, it’s precisely targeted. Whether you’re a rep stuck on discovery, a leader who wants to build a coaching culture, or a team trying to close more consistently, we get in the trenches with you. Through tailored coaching, structured learning paths, and real accountability, we help you: • Fix the leaks in your pipeline and improve win rates • Build repeatable outreach and discovery frameworks • Empower leaders to coach with confidence • Scale your performance without burning out your people If your revenue growth next quarter feels uncertain... let’s change that.

Hey, we’re Hive! Hive is an employee feedback platform and strategic HR partnership. We give our customers the tech, the insight and the coaching to manage change and amplify employee voice. Our accessible, cloud-based platform has four flagship features—Hive Surveying with flexible question sets, Hive Open Door for always-on listening, Hive Messenger to engage in two-way conversations and Hive Fives to cultivate coworker recognition. But it takes the perfect blend of technology and people to drive change, so our People Scientists are on hand to help HR teams and managers harness employee feedback and uncover the real story behind the data. With Hive, over 150 organisations (including Travelodge, Sheffield Hallam University, The Very Group, Dorset Council, and Tarmac) are making people-first decisions about the future of their workplace to build more engaged, productive teams.
