Recruit agents who fit your calls and train them to convert from week one.

In this lesson you’ll learn to

  • I have a written agent profile and screening steps
  • My training covers product, compliance, script and systems
  • New agents are nested with a coach
  • I know which tasks require licensed agents

Hire for the call

• Write a clear profile: inbound sales, outbound, support, licensed insurance or not.

• Screen with a short voice test, a role-play and a typing or CRM task.

• Check reliability: attendance history, internet and power at home for remote roles.

Training plan (example: 2 weeks)

• Product and customer: who calls, why, what they fear.

• Compliance: disclosures, consent, do-not-call, recording, data security.

• Script and call flow, with the reasons behind each step.

• Systems: dialer, CRM, dispositions.

• Role-plays, then live calls with a coach listening (“nesting”).

Coaching that sticks

Score calls with a simple QA form, give one or two specific fixes per session, celebrate wins publicly and coach weekly — not only when something goes wrong.
