Rules of Engagement

Speakers Institute – Lead Rules of Engagement (ROE)

Effective Date: December 29 ​Applies To: All Growth Coaches, Closers, and Facilitators ​Purpose: To ensure a fair, transparent, and prospect-first approach to lead ownership, contact, follow-up, and commission attribution—especially when leads register for or attend multiple OPEs/webinars.

1. Core Principles (Non-Negotiables)

Prospect Experience Comes First
Any prospect who attends an event should feel supported, acknowledged, and helped by whoever is present.
We do not ignore prospects because of internal ownership concerns.
Effort Should Be Rewarded Fairly
Lead ownership is determined by real conversations, not list assignment alone.
Activity must be tracked in Go High Level (GHL) to count.
Clarity Beats Assumptions
If it’s not logged in GHL, it didn’t happen.
Notes prevent double-calling, tension, and confusion.

2. Definitions

Excitement / Nurture Call: A real-time conversation (not voicemail/text/email) where rapport is built and intent is clarified.
Conversation (for ownership purposes): A live call or meaningful two-way conversation logged in GHL.
OPE / Webinar Attended: The event the prospect actually shows up to (not just registers for).

3. Lead Ownership Rules

3.1 Ownership Is Based on Conversations

A Growth Coach owns a lead if:
They have had a live conversation with the prospect
AND the conversation is clearly logged in GHL (call recording or written note)
Texts, emails, and unanswered calls alone do not establish ownership.

3.2 Webinar Attendance Rule (Primary Rule)

If a prospect attends a webinar, that webinar creates a “hot lead moment.”
The Growth Coach responsible for that webinar should:
Engage them
Follow up promptly
Attempt to close or escalate appropriately
However…

3.3 When a Prospect Attends a Webinar BUT Another Coach Has Prior Ownership

If another Growth Coach has already had a logged conversation with that prospect:
The coach running the webinar should:
Engage the prospect
Provide a great experience
Notify the owning coach immediately
The owning coach should:
Be available (where possible) for a post-event call
Attempt the close if the prospect is hot
Commission Outcome
If only the owning coach closes → owning coach commission
If both coaches materially contributed → see Section 6 (Split Commission)

4. Multiple Registrations / Multiple Webinars

4.1 Registration Alone Does NOT Create Ownership

Prospects may register for multiple topics or presenters.
Registration ≠ ownership.
Attendance + conversation = decision points.

4.2 If a Prospect Attends Multiple Webinars

Table 2
Scenario
Outcome
Attended Webinar A only
Webinar A coach owns follow-up
Attended Webinar B only
Webinar B coach owns follow-up
Attended BOTH + spoke with BOTH
Split commission may apply
Attended both but spoke with only one
That coach owns the lead
There are no rows in this table

5. Contact & Communication Rules

5.1 Post-Webinar Contact

The coach for that webinar gets first right of follow-up
Other coaches should avoid duplicate outreach unless coordinated

5.2 Do NOT Over-Communicate

If a prospect attended a webinar earlier the same day:
Do not call again just to “confirm” another webinar
Let the first coach attempt the close
Engage only if they attend the second event

5.3 Internal Communication

Use team chat (WhatsApp) to flag:
Hot leads
Prior conversations
Ownership clarity
Example:
“I’ve spoken with Jane Smith (10 min call, logged). She attended Kristy’s OPE and is hot.”

6. Split Commission Guidelines (Exception, Not Default)

Split commission may apply only when BOTH are true:
Two coaches had meaningful conversations
Both materially contributed to the decision

Default Split: 50/50

Splits are:
Agreed professionally
Not emotional
Used sparingly
If effort is clearly disproportionate, commission stays with the closer who drove the result.

7. Availability Expectations (Short-Term Rule)

For the current period with same-day webinars:
Coaches should aim to be available:
Up to 90 minutes post-webinar
Especially if they have known hot leads attending another session
This avoids missed closes and protects conversion rates.

8. CRM (Go High Level) Rules – Mandatory

8.1 Logging Standards

Every coach must:
Log all live conversations in GHL
Include:
Call duration
Key notes (intent, urgency, objections)
Log voicemails and attempts where possible
If it’s not in GHL, it cannot be used to claim ownership.

8.2 Approved Tools

Use GHL / Lead Connector App wherever possible
WhatsApp calls must still be summarized in GHL notes

9. Lock-In Rule (Advanced Nurture)

If a coach is deeply nurturing a prospect (e.g. near Protégé decision):
Add a note in GHL and/or team chat:
“Locking in – advanced nurture in progress.”
Other coaches should support, not compete.

10. Final Word

This system exists to:
Protect relationships
Reward real effort
Maximize conversions
Eliminate confusion and tension
If an edge case arises:
Check GHL
Communicate directly
Default to fairness and prospect experience
