Year Two
The second year of the program is about challenging yourself to accelerate your development and your business. Maybe you get a rush when you go head-to-head with competitors, so you join the competition working group. Or perhaps you are fascinated by the logic behind lead flow, so you dig deeper into the best practices for conversion. We encourage you to explore your passions while you continue to shatter sales goals.
