Follow-up questions they answered
- How can I sell a coaching program that isn't finished yet without feeling like a fraud?
- Sylvie Boucher Musulinaro overcame this by following her coach's advice to break the program into a series-type format. This allowed her to start making money as fast as possible while building the program components simultaneously. — Sylvie Boucher Musulinaro
- How do I promote my training program without sounding pushy or salesy?
- Sylvie found success by reaching out to a friend who was a perfect client match. By using the tools and tips provided by her Live Your Message coach, the conversation flowed naturally and led to a sign-up without feeling forced. — Sylvie Boucher Musulinaro
- What should I do if I'm struggling to launch a large-scale training vision?
- Sylvie recommends breaking the vision into smaller pieces. Instead of waiting to complete a 'huge' program, she launched the first piece of her coaching training after receiving specific tool recommendations that skyrocketed her success. — Sylvie Boucher Musulinaro
- How do you manage sales teams working in silos with different experience levels?
- Mark Jacoby noted that before HomeCareSales, his teams had a 'mixed bag' of methods that rarely made the phone ring. He solved this by implementing a consistent, neuroscience-based sales training program that got everyone aligned and rolling in the same direction. — Mark Jacoby
- Is the HomeCareSales program easy for field reps to actually use?
- Yes, Mark Jacoby described the program as easy to digest, grasp, and operationalize in the field. He noted it avoids the confusion found in other programs by meeting people where they are and providing a sensible system. — Mark Jacoby
- Can a sales consultant help a large healthcare franchise grow sustainably?
- Mark Jacoby reported that HomeCareSales helped his 54 locations grow sustainably rather than just providing an 'overnight pop' in census. The consultants helped them identify who they are and what they are selling to reach the next level. — Mark Jacoby
