Sessions included discussions on how to develop a persuasive personality for sales, reduce liability in regards to unhappy clients and social media, potential tax benefits, effective listening, how to increase closing Leads, effective communication, agency metrics and succeeding with sales systems.

The next Mastermind Avoya Mastermind Success Academy will take place onboard the Harmony of the Seas October 20-27, 2018.
