Your rep’s progress deserves more than a quota number.
You coached a discovery question and saw it improve. If that progress stays in your head, the next review may remember only the lost deal.
Record your own account of the coaching, the improvement, and what you agreed to revisit. Bring that employee history to the next 1:1; deal and customer records stay in the CRM.
