Logan and Aaron unpack one of the most powerful but underused sales strategies in remodeling: assignment selling. Originally coined by Marcus Sheridan, this method bridges the gap between marketing and sales—by arming prospects with the right information before they ever get on a call.
You’ll learn how to apply this approach in your own sales process—whether it’s sending project walkthroughs before a meeting, using content to pre-qualify leads, or walking clients through your website in real-time.
