🔥 Are your consultations killing your closings—or creating lifetime clients?

Hey there, rainmakers!

In this high-energy, soul-stirring episode, I sit down with the one and only Dino Rossetti—a five-time Blue Dragon award winner–if you know you know ;-) - former Core Training coach, and current powerhouse behind Ultimate Business Partner. From pounding the pavement in 110-degree Sacramento heat to hosting packed Realtor Coffee meetups, Dino’s journey is a masterclass in grit, growth, and what it really takes to make it rain.

We unpack the transformation from grinder to intentional rainmaker, the evolution of Dino’s sales process, and why your professional consultation might be the most important part of your entire business. If you’ve been skipping pre-approval meetings, relying on speed over substance, or feeling like your pipeline is leaking referrals—you need to hear this.

PLUS Are you playing small when it comes to being seen? Or are you stepping into your full potential? Dino drops gems on visibility, coachability, and how refining your process can double your conversion rate, boost your referrals, and reignite your fire.

Are you ready to make it rain? Let’s do this! 💥
