    Why is Training Like a Gym Membership

    Fix The Root Cause - "We aren't closing enough leads"

    "We aren't closing enough leads,” said the GM, “so let's add another $5k in advertising! That will do the trick." Sure, spending more will produce more leads, maybe. And sure, you might close more as a result, maybe. But why aren't we talking about the root cause of not having a good closing...
