    Hey friends! We're back with another episode of the "No B******t Business Tips" Podcast.

    Every team member plays a role in this, and it's crucial to ask for the sale confidently. Join Amanda and Bec as they discuss common fears around enrollment conversations, share personal anecdotes, and provide practical tips on how to encourage parents to enroll their kids on the spot. From perfecting your sales pitch to training your team through roleplay, they cover everything you need to turn trial classes into committed enrollments.

    Learn how to change your mindset and language around sales to make the process smoother and more natural.
