Most business owners throw new reps on calls and hope they figure it out. Then wonder why their close rates are trash. Here's the 3-step model I use to train reps who actually close: 1. Done-For-You I close the deals while they shadow me. They watch every call. Listen to how I handle objections. See the full process from start to finish. During this phase: I provide scripts, training, call recordings. We review calls together. I explain why I said what I said. Answer their questions. Roleplay scenarios. They're not selling yet. They're learning. 2. Done-With-You Now they lead the calls while I shadow. I'm there to step in if needed. Let them get reps in with backup support. They're going to make mistakes. That's the point. Better to make them while I'm there to save the deal than when they're flying solo. Once they've converted 5 deals - especially a tough one - I know they're ready. 3. Do It Yourself Now they handle calls themselves. My job shifts to monitoring numbers, reviewing recordings, and ongoing training. They're fully autonomous but still getting coached. Most managers skip steps 1 and 2. They hand someone a script and push them into step 3. That's why most sales teams fail. You can't delegate what you haven't demonstrated. Build them up through the process. Don't throw them in the deep end and expect them to swim. That's how you build a team that actually converts. Who here runs a sales team?

EPG Fam. Here's a very useful tip that every single member of the EPG community can leverage TODAY! STOP USING CHATGPT FOR EVERYTHING! This is why I switched to CLAUDE and you should too! I’ve spent the last year running my entire business through AI. Not dabbling. Not “playing around with prompts.” I mean operations, client delivery, content, systems, even creative... all of it. I’ve used both ChatGPT and Claude extensively, and I need to be honest with you. Most of you are using the wrong tool for the wrong job. Chat GPT is great at certain things. Level 2-3 AI to be honest... But if you’re an entrepreneur, operator, or creator trying to build real systems and produce real output...Claude is a different animal. Here’s the breakdown. 1. Claude Actually Thinks. GPT Performs. ChatGPT is trained to give you an answer fast. It’s optimized to sound right. Claude is built to reason through problems. When I hand Claude a complex business problem: like structuring a client’s entire operations system from scratch...it doesn’t just spit back a template. It asks clarifying questions. It thinks about dependencies. It flags things I didn’t consider. It makes ME think. GPT gives you the answer you expect. Claude gives you the answer you need. 2. Long-Form Output That Doesn’t Fall Apart or hallucinate. If you’ve ever asked GPT to write a full SOP, a detailed proposal, or a long strategy doc, you know the pain. By page two.. its using filler words and repeating itself. Claude holds context over much longer outputs. I regularly use it to build entire Notion systems, draft full client reports, write operational playbooks, and structure onboarding docs...and it stays coherent start to finish. That’s not a small thing when you’re trying to deliver real work product, not just brainstorm. 3. Claude Is the Better Business Partner Here’s what I use Claude for daily as an operator: • Building full client systems (project management, SOPs, org charts, EOS frameworks) • Drafting proposals, progress reports, and client-facing emails

The headlines coming out of private credit are a reminder that protecting your assets matters now more than ever. In March 2026, major firms including BlackRock and Morgan Stanley limited withdrawals from private credit funds after redemption requests surged. BlackRock’s HLEND fund capped withdrawals at 5% of NAV after about $1.2 billion in requests, and Morgan Stanley’s North Haven Private Income Fund fulfilled only about 45.8% of tendered requests while sticking to its 5% unit repurchase policy. Reuters also reported Blue Owl sold about $1.4 billion in assets and halted redemptions in one fund. Why does that matter? Because it highlights a liquidity mismatch. Many investors were told they could access their money periodically, but the underlying assets are private loans that are much harder to sell quickly. When too many people head for the exit at once, fund managers have to restrict withdrawals to avoid dumping illiquid loans at steep discounts. The bigger concern is confidence. Private credit has often been positioned as a steady alternative to public markets, but recent events show that parts of the space are now facing pressure from higher rates, refinancing challenges, valuation questions, and growing concern over sectors like software, where AI disruption is affecting business outlooks and loan quality. JPMorgan also marked down some software-exposed loan portfolios tied to private credit funds, which added to investor anxiety. This does not automatically mean a full-blown financial crisis is here, but it does mean one thing very clearly: liquidity, structure, and risk management matter. Reuters noted analysts do not yet view this as a system-wide threat, but they do see growing risks and tighter lending conditions. If your money is tied to market-based products, private investments, retirement accounts, real estate, insurance structures, or concentrated positions, this is a good time to review how your assets are positioned. Don’t wait until everyone is trying to get out at the same time.
