In Part 1, Leif broke down how elite sales conversations work. In Part 2, the focus shifts to what most coaches get wrong next: hiring, onboarding, and keeping sales reps who actually perform.

This episode is a behind-the-scenes look at what it really takes to build a high-ticket sales team that lasts. Listen as Leif explains when not to hire, the exact lead volume you need before hiring your first rep, why most “high-ticket closers” destroy businesses, and the exact structure that keeps great salespeople motivated instead of burned out.
