As part of ERSP’s new Coaching and Mentoring Pilot Program, Peter and Leanne traveled out to Utah to meet with two participating coaching and mentoring companies, Professional Marketing International (“PMI”) and Prosper, Inc. On Thursday, 3/29, they were given a tour of each company’s respective headquarters, which include their telemarketing sales floors. The purpose of the tours was to gain a better understanding of the telesales process and to learn more about the coaching and mentoring industry. In addition, the visits gave Peter and Leanne an opportunity to meet with individuals in the respective companies who are responsible for the sales and advertising departments.
