of a series

subliminal
changes to
their presentation because of new schools they attended, or on
information
they may have read.

problems, I would
ask "Did
you change your sales presentation in any significant way?"
And in every instance
"They would
say, "well I may have added one or two small changes in the past
several months."
At that
time I would then set up a one on one office meeting so that we could
sit down and
review what he currently was doing by having him give me his current
presentation, then we would listen to his taped
presentation when things were going well.
In
almost every instance, the agent was astonished by the complete
overall and changes s/he had made since we taped it.
