Selling (Interviewing) for Exercise Professionals
This powerful teaching series is a recording of a Muscle System Specialist LIVE! course presented in Columbus Ohio in 2016.
The interactions with the students of the course represent important information but are not necessarily the same as student interactions in other live courses. Generally, the student questions and responses are indicative of many other courses facilitated over the years. As a live recording, sometimes the verbal exchanges between the instructor and the student can be difficult to hear so please turn up the volume during those exchanges.
Please keep in mind that this live recording of the course represents the first 4 days of a much longer course that is specifically geared towards professionals in the exercise field.
Therefore, some parts of the introduction will have no application for professionals using this course who are not from the exercise profession.
