(How to Build an Agency)

“Sell to Live… Hire to Retire”

“The Hiring Interview”

Your interview should be somewhat scripted, and very intentional. It should take no longer than 7-10 minutes to know if you should offer a position or not with your potential agent. Use the “Hiring Scripts” found below to help guide your conversation.

*Non-Licensed Hiring Script FOUND HERE

**Licensed Agents Hiring Script FOUND HERE

Ask the “Knock-Out” questions that will help during the vetting process. You do not want to hire someone that will likely become a liability or hider your business. Ask the uncomfortable questions now so you won’t regret hiring a bad apple later.

  1. Explain Chargebacks and how 25% of business will fall out

  2. Tell them to expect long days and hard nights

  3. You have to be able to put your feelings aside when you run into people with bad attitudes over the phone.

  4. Explain leads and cost of business

  5. Are you willing to commute an hour plus to get to your client’s residence?

  6. Are you willing to invest in yourself and fund your business with leads?

  7. Are you responsible enough to hold yourself accountable?

If you still think the recruit is worthy of hiring, now it’s time to ask the pressing questions. Be direct and to the point. We need to start putting a timeline of their success together.

  1. How many hours are you willing to put into your business every week?

  2. Do you have a good source of transportation? and/or a place for telesales?

  3. How soon do you intend to run your first appointment?

  4. How much do you have in your budget for leads?

ONBOARDING A NEW LICENSED AGENT

AFTER YOUR RECRUIT REGISTERS FOR THE EXAM, Your Agency manager (Arthur), or Agent Success Coach (Toni), will generate a pre-licensing voucher code for your new agent to start their courses.

  • Please have your 🏁 Recruit send a screenshot of the chosen test date and time. we need the screenshot to know that your agent is serious before we spend the money on a new study course scholarship (yes, we pay the $205 for the courses; It is not free to create their voucher)
