A note from Sisu CEO, Brian Charlesworth:
It's been a pleasure to work closely with Better Homes and Gardens COO, Rich DeNicola, over the past few months, in making this vision a reality. When we first started discussions about our core accountability program, Rich immediately saw an opportunity to offer accountability, metrics, and gamification to a core part of the franchise: recruiting, one of the most competitive aspects of the industry, which allows the brokerage to acquire and retain top talent.
The Sisu Recruiting Platform will allow coaches and recruiters across the entire organization to have critical conversations, such as:
- How many conversations does it take to set up a recruiting appointment?
- How many of those recruiting appointments result in new or experienced recruits joining the organization?
- How are my recruiters doing on core metrics such as net recruits, company dollar added, or owner profit?
Equally as exciting is the Dash integration, which pulls already existing data and eliminates the need for recruiters to input this manually. This is something our development team has worked hard on and is proud to say that we are one of the exclusive partners integrating with the Dash platform.
As a company we are excited for a prosperous and innovative future working together with Better Homes and Gardens.
