Do you know how to pre-frame a call with a client? Listen, as Nikki and her guest Teresa McCloy have an on-air coaching call about how Teresa can guide clients into the business side of what she does and move them to the next level. Teresa is a member of the Sales Maven Society and a coach, speaker, and Enneagram practitioner. She is the creator of the REALIFE Process and she partners these tools together to guide clients to a fresh way of intentional living.

Teresa wants Nikki to help her move clients from taking the Enneagram profile to inviting them to the coaching side to teach them to apply it to their daily lives. Listen as Nikki shares some ideas with Teresa on how to pre-frame the conversation and ways to add some questions when discussing the results of their profile to let the client see additional ways you might serve them.

Nikki discusses ways for Teresa to tailor information from calls to the client for offers that will be perfect for them. She shares how to take notes during a call looking for key phrases and how much time they need at the end of the call to make the sales offer. Nikki also speaks about ways to stay in touch with the client, even if they say no to the offer.

Listen as they speak about building credibility and pouring love on the person you are referring the client to and how the call should feel the same no matter which team member is answering it. Teresa also shares the main benefit she gets from the Sales Maven Society group and how much she has learned and continues to learn from Nikki. If you want to know how to take your client to the next level, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.
