How Good Manors Real Estate Group Elevated Agent Confidence and Leadership with Performance-Based Training

Meet Jill Mannella: Building a Confident, High-Performing Team

As the Team & Brand Manager at Good Manors Real Estate Group in Sudbury, Ontario, Jill Mannella recognized something was missing. Training was informal and unstructured — new agents would shadow the team leader, Justin Cousineau, and follow along for a few months, and then be sent off to figure things out on their own.

There was no consistency. No clear way to measure progress. No built-in practice before agents faced their valued clients.

That changed when Jill implemented the Agent Development Team Training System — and with it, transformed her team’s confidence, structure, and performance.

Before: No System. No Practice. No Way to Scale.

Training was informal and inconsistent. It depended entirely on who the agent shadowed and how long they tagged along.

Before, training was literally just someone following him around for a couple of months, and then putting them out into the wild.

New agents weren’t actually getting any practice other than just practicing on their clients.

With multiple new agents joining at once, the old system began to break down. It wasn’t scalable, and it didn’t give agents the preparation they needed to succeed confidently.

After: Confidence in Performance — and in Leadership

Implementing the Agent Development System changed how the team operated — and how they saw themselves.

Everyone’s amazed at how much they’ve learned through this and wonder where they would be if they didn’t have it.

I think mostly in calls and their confidence in objection handling. They are staying on the call way longer than they ever would have in the beginning.

Agents now step into client conversations more prepared and confident — and that shift is showing up in both performance and engagement.

A Stronger Team, Aligned Behind Clear Leadership

As training became more structured and performance-based, something deeper began to shift. The team dynamic changed.

I think it has brought our team closer together and I think the confidence in our leadership has increased since we started doing it.

Doing this for the team and showing them, it’s increased the confidence in what we’re doing and where this team is going.

Agents could see the investment being made in their development — and they responded with greater engagement, initiative, and belief in the vision of the team.

Built for Growth and Long-Term Success

Jill now sees how the system can support not only current agents, but also new growth and recruiting.

It kind of brought our team closer together. I think the confidence in our leadership and what we're doing — and where this team is going — has increased since we started. Now you see that they're participating and appreciating the time we're putting in.

The foundation is in place. Jill’s team is better aligned, better prepared, and better equipped for growth — with a system that supports agents from day one, and reinforces strong leadership every step of the way.
