April’s Finished, May is Sold Out
May 3, 2008 by Martin
The TopLine Business Solutions Consultant’s Training for April is over and the excitement of the participants is something to experience. Four very long and intensive days, 34 pounds of manuals filled with forms, scripts, letters, templates, reports, marketing ideas, bonus materials… absolutely everything you need to start, run and profit from a very successful 7-figure consulting practice.
The best part? These consultants (here are just a few of their comments), by following the step-by-step Blueprint we give them can very realistically hit 6-figures in their first 90 to 120 days. Sound like hype? It’s not. Others have done it and some of our most recent graduates are well on their way.
As unfortunate as the hard times we are in are for honest and well-meaning people who are trying to run profitable businesses, for our economy as a whole, and for us as consumers, these times are boom times for our consultants.
Business Owners REALLY Need Your Help!
Most business owners are pretty good at the technical aspects of their business. They know a lot about their products and services and they do okay when the economy is good. But when it comes to the actual business-running part, they simply lack the necessary skills to operate at a profitable level. And it tough economic times like we’re in right now, business after business are closing their doors and their owners are losing everything in the process.
But it doesn’t have to be that way. If they just knew where to turn for help they could save their businesses, not risk their investments, savings and pride, and live a very nice lifestyle in spite of what’s happening around them. And when their competitors go under that puts them in an even better position to thrive because they can gain those customers who are now looking for another place to give their business.
Day after day business owners contact us for help and we turn those leads over to consultants in their area. Right now, right at the present time we have more business than we have consultants to handle it. And we’re looking for people who want to capitalize on this very lucrative market and earn a very substantial income in the process.
17 Very Excited Attendees!
In the training we just concluded, there were 17 attendees. A few of them were consultants who returned for a refresher course and to learn some of the new things that we are teaching. In every single case, the comments, excitement and expressions of amazement and grattitude were overwhelming. And after the formal sessions concluded? Several nights I hung around until 10:00 pm just to answer additional questions and give even more information.
I absolutely LOVE teaching these workshops. To see people from all kinds of backgrounds, from all parts of the world, and with every type of business experience (and lack of experience, too) that you can imagine, it’s challenging, fun and very rewarding. To see someone who is skeptical, unsure, short on confidence, or who has no business background whatsoever when they start the training, leave with a step-by-step blueprint… a “road map” that shows them exactly what to do, what steps to take, when to do certain things, and preciously how to get the help they need if they get stuck along the way… to see them now full of confidence, self-assured, excited and raring to go… it’s the best feeling anyone can have.
And I’m blessed to have that priviledge!
But the best payoff is when they call me in their first 10 days and tell me they’ve just landed their first client and that they’ve recovered their entire investment for the training. That’s a “killer” experience for me!
But it gets even better. It’s the call that I get somewhere between three and four months after they leave training. You know, the one where they tell me they’ve hit the 6-figure income mark. That makes my day. It really does.
Sure, along the way we’ve talked, emailed back and forth and I’ve helped them with certain projects. So I kinda know where they are financially. But when they call me with that unmistakable excitement in their voice and announce the news… that makes all we’ve been through together worthwhile.
TopLine Consultants Are Like Family
I hear it over and over again. People in every class say the same thing… “I feel like I have a whole new family!”
I’ll tell you the same thing I tell each one of my classes… the consultants we have on board are like my kids. And in many cases, I’m old enough to be their dad. I have 6 of my own kids, 17 grandchildren and one on the way. And I’m about to pick up another son-in-law on the 29th of May. So I know what being a dad and granddad is all about.
And I transfer that same caring, love and support to our consultants. I want so badly for them to succeed, and I go out of my way to make it happen for them.
Do some of them not succeed? Maybe. It all depends on what is meant by “succeed”.
Some of our consultants make very large incomes. Some do good enough jobs for their clients that they’re offered CEO, President or Board positions, or even partnerships in their client’s companies. Some only want to work on a part time basis with a handful of clients… a hundred thousand a year working 2 days a week is fine for them. No problem with that at all. And of course, there are the handful who find that the entrepreneurial life isn’t for them and they go back into corporate life or take a “regular” job of some type.
So what makes a good consultant? What tips the scale in favor of “succeeding” at a high income level in this business?
A person who is teachable, who is willing to follow a proven step-by-step plan that virtually guarantees your success, and who is a self starter. That’s it. Nothing more. Those three things will guarantee your success.
Teachable: Be willing to put your preconceived ideas about business aside for a minute, adopt a “think-out-of-the-box” mindset and learn a system that has proven successful for hundreds of other consultants.
Blueprint: The step-by-step system that we teach leads you from point one to point two, then to point three, and so on… from determining who your ideal target market is, to making an effective presentation, to securing a client, uncovering the areas in which you can generate the fastest and greatest results, to creating massive profits for your clients and a substantial income for yourself, to generating introductions from your clients to other business owners who can benefit from your help.
Self-Starter: Because you’re working for yourself, there is no time clock to punch and no one to require you to show up on time. You have to be able to shake the mattress off your back in the morning, jump out of bed and do something. No need to get dressed up, unless you’re going to meet a client or prospect. If you work at home you can dress any way you like and work whatever hours you want. The key, however, is that you have to do something on a consistent basis. You have to treat your consulting practice as you would any other job (with certain modifications).
If you’ll do those three things there is absolutely no reason you can’t succeed big time in this business. As I mentioned, the market has never been more ripe, more ready, and more willing to accept the help that our consultants can offer.
May Workshop is Sold Out
Our May training is full. It sold out nearly as soon as we announced it. We are now taking reservations for our June training. If you feel consulting is something you might like to do, or if you would like more informations, please give Chad a call at 480-461-1866. He’ll answer any questions you have and help you determine if this is the right move for you and if you’re right for us.
Best wishes for your success…
