I am so thrilled that you have decided to explore coaching. Your decision to ask for help may very well be that special moment in time that proves to be a catalyst for change. Your decision also proves that you are serious about starting your journey towards making significant changes in the way you are selling. More importantly, it will change dramatically the way you get paid.
To maximize our short 30 minutes together, I have a homework assignment that I need you to complete. Please don’t take this the wrong way, but after hiring and training over 2,000 Voluntary Benefit sales people in my career, I have discovered 4 things.

- Very few are really willing to do the hard work and make the changes I suggest.
