Each person needs something a little different, and it's our job as coaches and leaders to figure out what it is on that individual level and then build them a multilevel coaching platform to work through. If we can do that, as coaches and leaders, we're going to produce some really, really good salespeople—some honest salespeople—but we're also going to build a lot of leaders at the same time.” - Jess FordConnect with Jess Ford:Website: https://www.kscopeconsultants.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jess-ford-0020955/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JFordConsulting Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jford_consulting/ Email: jessford@kscopeconsultants.com Connect with Dante Royster:Website: https://www.danteroyster.com/Epic Mortgage Website: Epic Mortgage, Inc.
