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: 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: Provide a great experience Notify the owning coach immediately Be available (where possible) for a post-event call Attempt the close if the prospect is hot 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
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: “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:
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 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:
Eliminate confusion and tension If an edge case arises:
Default to fairness and prospect experience
