Research shows that training is 4X more effective if followed up with coaching.

We’ve all been there – you call your prospect back at the appointed time for your presentation and they tell you any of the following: This isn’t a good time, OR. If you sent out the hottest lead ever, a “10” on a scale of 1 – 10, when you call them back, have you ever noticed that now they’re about a “7”? What to do?
