“As a graduate of the GAMA Essentials of Management course last October, I was concerned about putting the material learned into practice. Machen’s follow up group coaching and RPM Game were perfect to help me with the development of the habits and activities necessary to achieve my recruiting and production goals. The weekly conference calls and the buddy system are the necessary accountability pieces of staying the course. I would recommend Machen and his firm, ProBrilliance as the next logical step to carry out the lessons learned from the GAMA course.”
