How Century 21 Coaching Proved Paid Programs Can Outperform Alongside Free Training
The Challenge
Why Pay When You Can Learn for Free?
- Free Training Fatigue: Agents were used to complimentary sessions through Century 21 University. Convincing them to pay felt impossible.
- Low Engagement Risk: Even when agents enrolled, consistent participation was a struggle.
- Broker Owner Managers (BOMs) Disconnected: They were critical to motivating agents but lacked tools to drive adoption.
Just 3 Weeks to Launch: The team had less than a month to design, execute, and launch the program.
The Impact
