What’s in this episode:
If your team is quoting but not closing, this episode is going to challenge you. One agency went from a 7% close rate to 23% in a week and a half.
No new leads.
No new scripts.
No new hires.
Just one behavioral shift: accountability.
In this solo episode, Michael breaks down why most agency owners think they have a training problem — when they actually have a standards problem. If your producers aren’t consistently asking for the sale, and no one is checking, you don’t have a closing strategy… you have hope.
This episode is about installing real accountability without micromanaging — and how “the checker gets what the checker checks” can dramatically increase production in your office.
