I welcome it wholeheartedly but it’s funny because the last time I received executive sales training from an outside trainer, there was a lot that seemed to conflict with my company’s approach which put things at odds and as a result, we weren’t able to extract full value but I put the company at fault for that, not the trainer.
To that point, I think unless the entire sales org is receiving the same sales training it can cause issues. Executive coaches can be valuable but I would focus on a communications coach or a more general business coach vs. a sales specific coach.
Fair points. I agree that General business coaching/Exec Coaching is awesome. I have loved the time I spend on that.
My last company ran a full L/D department that included sales coaches and I found more value in reading books. I'd be keen to give it another try though.

Totally depends on your goals and where you’re at
In my opinion, you should strive to have more than one mentor. I have several that don't work at my company but they are OG and one internal executive that I touch base with every month or so. Build your network and watch your career take off.
