❖ Companies spend hundreds of thousands of dollars training
❖ 99.9% of those dollars are spent training SKILL – HOW to say it or do it
❖ Almost ZERO dollars spent training agents on the WILL - getting an agent to DO what’s been trained!
Company Training $$$ Allocation

Because,
• Customers buy on EMOTION, not logic
• To create emotion, an agent must have Energy, Effort & Enthusiasm on every single rental
• Energy, Effort, Enthusiasm to create Vivid, Vibrant mental pictures to get a customer to FEEL what they are being offered (not just logically but EMOTIONALLY)
➢ How come agents don’t use these on EVERY RENTAL
Why is training the Will important?

#1 “NO” burnout – hearing it over and over• Agent writes 40 rentals per day
• Agent writes 200 rentals per week (40 X 5)
• Agent writes 10,000 rentals per year (200 X 50)
• Agent writes 100,000 rentals in 10 years
➢ 30% Yes answers = Elite agent➢ 20% Yes answers = Average agent
➢ 10% Yes answers = Very Sub-par agent
➢
• But….30% YES = 3,000 YES and 7,000 NO answers per year
Reasons Agents don’t do this . . .

#2 reason – because they don’t feel like it…• late for work
• spilled coffee on self on way to work
• got speeding ticket on way to work
• mad at significant other
• going through hard times
• hundreds more reasons
➢ When an agent loses their WILL to perform they do NOT lose their SKILLS to perform
➢ Yet, many companies continue to train the SKILL when sales numbers fall
➢ When in fact, they need to train the WILL (DESIRE) to perform – TRAIN THE WILL, NOT THE SKILL
Reasons Agents don’t do this . . .
