Stage #1: Determine the Need: How do you know you need an ISA?
You are doing somewhere between 80 and 160 transactions. You're generating leads on a consistent basis, your biggest problem is reaching those people. You want to make sure that you have core capital in place ($25, 000-$50, 000.) Ask yourself the right questions. What are your expectations? What ROI do you need with this position? We have found that you can get many, many multiples of an ROI after your ISA has settled into their role. It DOES take several months for you to start experiencing the fruits of those labors.Stage #2: Making The Right Hire: Identifying the correct fit
One of our favorite sayings is "Hire slow, fire fast."Hiring the wrong person could be catastrophic. Using your DISC Profile: D's and I's are typically rockstars when it comes to phone sales. They don't take rejections personally. C's could be good at tracking and reporting. Someone who has a high C personality probably isn't the right person that you want. Ideally you would be looking for someone who has prior phone sales experience. Always be on the look out for quality people! There may be people who are licensed agents who aren't strong with people, but are amazing over the phone.Stage #3: Recruiting: How do you attract that person to your team?
