šļø Co Host, Danielle Weiss interviews Rachel Allen, the Franklin Teamās VP of Sales, about the teamās agent growth and production model and what onboarding looks like in an agentās first 90 days. Rachel describes the onboarding process as a flexible, sales-focused program centered on conversation skills, scripting, role play, feedback, and key milestones which allows agents to start working from day one while building confidence. This includes practicing open houses, CMAs, and contracts before working directly with clients. Rachel notes that agents can move through onboarding more quickly by demonstrating proficiency, and that the biggest early mistake is waiting too long to take action or avoiding feedback. The episode also highlights ongoing support through āElevateā production groups tailored to different experience levels, focusing on habits, systems optimization, and leadership. Overall, it emphasizes Franklinās systems, support, and flexibility to help agents grow around their strengths, along with ways to learn more and submit Q&A questions.
