John Wetmore coaches an insurance agent on taking control of sales activities. The agent learns to choose between in-home and telesales appointments, use directive language to book more meetings, and apply household-management analogies to close deals.
You need to be in control of what you're doing. You need to decide, am I making phone calls today to book in-home or am I making phone calls today to do telesales? If you're letting them dictate it, there's probably a lot more going on in that conversation that says you lack control. Does that make sense? And the control is what's gonna allow you to book more appointments than letting them dictate what you do. Does that make sense?

So if you tell people what's gonna happen, a majority are just gonna fall in line.
