Three-Way Calling: The Secret Weapon

The fastest way to train your new associate is to let them listen to you present."Do at least 3 presentations together before they go solo."

1. Associate invites prospect
2. Get prospect on line
3. Associate introduces you
4. YOU do presentation
5. Associate listens
6. Debrief afterward

Troubleshooting & Support

"Not taking action"

Get back to their WHY. Simplify the action steps.

"Getting discouraged"

Normalize the 'no's'. Celebrate small wins.

"Doesn't know what to say"

Practice scripts together. Role-play scenarios.

"Feeling overwhelmed"

Focus on ONE thing at a time. First 30 days only.
