BEST Program
The BEST Program is designed for sellers who are new to broadcast. Each weekday for five weeks, your new sellers will receive a special email from LBS containing three videos for them to watch that day.
“I love LBS because their messages speak to new sellers and sellers that have been in the business for years. When you think you know it all and don’t need another message, then you listen to a message from LBS messages and are reminded just how much more you need to learn and how valuable their expertise is. LBS offers so many valuable nuggets of ideas that help me in my next email or phone call as I work thru my sales process. You are never too young and never too old to learn new things, and LBS is always there to remind us of this!”
