AppX Retention Bi-Weekly Video Call Overview

We have 10 meetings together. Let's make them count!

After your AppX Retention Training Day there are 5 bi-weekly meetings designed to help coach your team to success. Here are some details on the bi-weekly calls:

Overview

  • Each call is booked for 1 hour via Zoom. Generally the calls last between 30-45 minutes. The remaining time allows your team leaders to connect with APP on any matters.
  • We recommend your team is both on video and phone. If webcams are a concern, the team can use a smart phone.

Video bi-weekly calls have a much better result!

  • It's important everyone comes prepared and ready for the call.
  • Before each call they will need to watch a video in the Agency Performance Pack. They can log in at the top, right-hand button on our website (Log into APP Pack) Any issues, please email nicole@agencyperformancepartners.com.
  • We will send reports on anyone who has not watched the video. 
  • Each Friday we will request your data to review on the meeting.
