Just finished recording two Looms on how we win group interviews, and honestly I poured my heart into these. The first one is the mindset stuff. For years I wasn't proud of what we'd built, and candidates could feel it every time I sat across from them. A 2 AM conversation with Ben Surdi crushed that, and I walk you through what changed. The second one is the playbook. How we run it, the order that actually matters, and what not to ask. I also put our real group interview deck in there. Copy it to Google Slides or grab the PowerPoint or PDF, drop it into your AI tool, and build it around your company. Fix the mindset, run the playbook, and you start winning the people you actually want instead of settling for the recruits you didn't. Real talk, this probably belongs in Premium or VIP long term. For a limited time it's sitting in Standard, and free trial members can get to it too. Classroom > Standard: Win the Group Interview What's the biggest thing holding your group interviews back right now?

Getting help without becoming the trainer We spent a lot of this weekend on one question: how do we actually help you get help? Because hiring isn't the hard part. Training is. Most owners hire a VA and end up as the trainer, the manager and the backup. So we built Talent + Team Support. We use the same hiring process we run at KC Power Clean to recruit, screen and score candidates. You watch short intro videos, interview your favorites, and you make the call on every hire. We landed on two options and I'm really confident in both. OPTION #1 Staffed + supported (what I'd recommend if you don't currently employ VA's and a staff to train them): FREE VA placement and about $2,700/mo, which covers your VA's pay, training and weekly coaching here inside the Lion's Den. It's a 6-month commitment. At month 6 you can bring your VA in-house for $2,500 and drop the pay to around $1,800-$2100/mo. OR OPTION #2 Placement only: $1,000 per hire. You pick from up to 5 vetted candidates, with a 30-day guarantee. You handle all training and all management. It's your VA that you run on your books however you deem appropriate. On the first option your VA joins our training library (CRM, inbound calls, scheduling, quote follow-up, customer service, AI tools, screen monitoring, access to daily huddles and chat support) plus a weekly live group call where our sales training will even role-play and provide feedback. You stop running the classroom.

Big thank you to Fernanda for taking the time to help me through the process. Kris, you’ve built an amazing team. Everyone I’ve connected with has been helpful and welcoming. Looking forward to getting my VA Sales Agent, Sergio, set up and onboarded, and putting the systems in place to start generating more opportunities. Excited to keep building!

Does anyone know a good financing company for residential holiday light installs? I'm looking to offer customers a payment option from a vendor and would love to hear who you've used and how it's worked out. Thanks!
