Recently, I did the first of a series of complimentary coaching calls for those managers who are using the Up and Running in 30 Days start-up plan for their new agents. This is a very aggressive program, to get the agents a sale in 30 days (rather than the 3-6 months it takes most new agents.) The coaches have received their coaching resource guide, so they already have some guidance in implementing the program. We had a great discussion on the recent call. I want to share some of the discussion we had on the call, to help you as you coach your new agents to much faster success.
A�Biggest Challenges for the Coaches
A�The coaches on the call told me their biggest challenges were
A�Keeping the agent focused on the important activities
Getting the time to coach the agents frequently and regularlyA�
So, in this blog, Ia��ll tackle that first concerna��keeping your new agents focused.
A�Up and Running Gives you Two Keys to Keeping your Agents Focused
A�1, The Daily and Weekly Schedule. Have your new agent analyze his/her daily schedule at the end of the week. There is an exercise in Up and Running to reveal to the agent the priorities he/she needs to arrange in order to create a successfulA� business. Unfortunately, most agents arrange their priorities to protect themselves from starting the business! Teaching your agent how to a�?self-managea�� by analyzing that past week is huge to set them on the road to successful sales.
A�Tip: Use this scheduling strategyA�with your experienced agents. Most agents have never created a weekly schedule, and dona��t analyze their past week with the priorities explained in Up and Running.
A�2. Business-Producing vs. Business-Supporting Activities. Keep reiterating to your agents the difference between business producing and business-supporting activities. Up and Running teaches agents to put all their business activities into one of these groups. Ita��s one of the most important concepts an agent can graspa��and few agents have ever been taught this fundamental and very important concept.
A�Tip: You know your agent has struggles with time management. Help them analyze their activities and schedule their activities to do more business-producing activities. Their time management challenges will shrink, and their incomes will sky-rocket.
A�Invitation: If youa��re using Up and Running in 30 Days with your new agents, and didna��t receive an invitation to be on our tele-conference calls, email me at [email protected] and Ia��ll add you to the invitation list.
A�Next blog: Ia��ll discuss when to start Up and Running, and how to assure your new agent has a complete track to run ona��so he/she gets that sale fast, which is yours and his/her goal! I’ll also discuss how frequently and consistently you must coach that new agent to assure he/she adheres to the Up and Running activities and goals.
