    Episode 166: Pushing Back on Your Prospect's Push Back

    Episode 166: Pushing Back on Your Prospect's Push Back

    There are several common instances that college recruiters at all level face some very common, very challenging 'push back' questions from their prospects.

    You know the ones: Things are going nicely, everything's on schedule, and then your prospects pushes back on what you want, when you want it, and how you want the process to go. Which is fine, because they're going through their difficult decision process, and they need some room to think, right?

    O.K., maybe a little. But we still want coaches to be in control.

    On this episode, we talk about some common push back coaches are getting, and how to respond to it all in a better way. We hope it helps!

    Your job: Create a path for them to come back to you.

    In this episode, Dan Tudor explains a proven strategy used for the last two decades by select coaches around the country to build a bank of prospects that they can re-recruit. Listen and learn, Coach!
