Stop losing marketing spend in the first 30 seconds of the call with a proven booking framework.

About This Webinar
You spend real money to make the phone ring — marketing, ads, your hard-earned reputation. And then, in the first thirty seconds of the call, a huge portion of that investment quietly walks out the door, because the call never becomes a booked appointment. The worst part is that most shops have no idea it's happening, because the booking rate is the one number almost nobody tracks. The leak sits in plain sight, between the ring and the appointment, and it goes on for years.
In this free 60-minute training, Doris Barnes, Director of Strategic Growth at Transformers Institute, shows you exactly how to convert more of the calls you already pay for. You'll learn the three ways advisors quietly lose a caller — none of which are about price — and the four-move booking framework that turns an inbound call into a scheduled appointment: greet, control, value, and book.
You'll get the specific approach to the call every advisor dreads and most of them blow — 'how much for brakes?' — and why answering with a number makes you compete on price while redirecting to the inspection lets you compete on trust. And because a skill you can't measure is a skill you can't coach, you'll learn the simple three-number system — booking rate, weekly call review, and one coaching fix at a time — that turns the phone from a mystery into a managed part of the business.
A special guest shop owner joins to share what happened when he finally put a framework on his phones and started coaching it: the same number of calls, the same marketing, and a dramatic jump in car count. This webinar is for owners who are tired of pouring money into making the phone ring, only to watch the calls they already get slip away.
What You’ll Walk Away With
- Discover why booking rate is the hidden number that quietly drains your marketing spend, and why raising it is cheaper and faster than generating more calls.
- Identify the three ways advisors lose the caller: the cold greeting, losing control of the call, and never actually asking for the appointment.
- Master the four-move booking framework (greet, control, value, book) built on the insight that the caller needs confidence, not more information.
- Turn the dreaded 'how much for brakes?' price question into a trust-building redirect that secures an inspection appointment.
- Implement the three-number system—booking rate, weekly call review, and one coaching fix—to make call conversion a managed, improving part of your shop.
