Frequently Asked Questions
On-Demand vs On-Demand with Consulting vs TPG Facilitated Sessions
On-Demand is intended for teams who are looking to optimize an already strong Lead Management process.
On-Demand with consulting will help teams who would benefit from additional coaching or lines of thought to consider.
TPG Facilitated Sessions are best for teams who benefit from an in-person experience, or who benefit from having an outside perspective to guide them in best practices (digitally or in person).
What is the time commitment?
Each Module should be treated as a separate meeting. Teams with strong collaboration will find the meetings to be quicker.
How do I best facilitate this with my team?
Prioritize time by setting meetings in advance. Create a shared repository for digital collaboration. Read through the checklist for your upcoming session and send reminders for any preparation needed for the participants in the next session.
Can we do all of this in one meeting?
NO! When TPG facilitates Lead Management with clients we can sometimes combine sessions and have a minimum of three meetings that last two hours each. Don’t rush the process.
What if we get stuck?
We are always here to help. If you are nervous your team will get stuck, consider the On-Demand with Consulting version.
