Subject Line Secrets: How to Get Your Emails
Opened and Acted Upon So You Can Have a
6-Figure Business and the Life of Your Dreams" Virtual Training - October 11

Plain and simple: if your readers don't open your emails, there's no hope that they'll act on the content inside.

They won't sign up for your services, won't buy your products, won't register for your programs. Your time and energy goes to waste, and your business suffers.

On the other hand, powerful subject lines compel your readers to open, read and more readily act on what's inside. Your visibility expands and your business grows.

Bottom line: your subject lines can make the difference between struggling to get clients and thriving in a 6-figure business that allows you to serve and influence thousands, and to live the life you want for yourself.

That's why I'm thrilled to invite you to an exclusive, 1-time-only, free training where you'll discover how to create great subject lines that drive your business forward and avoid those that waste your time and energy.

WHO: Linda Claire Puig, a colleague of mine and a widely respected newsletter and email marketing expert who gives loads of value on her training calls.

During this exclusive training, you'll discover:

---> How to double the profits from your list with powerful subject lines.

---> The #1 secret to avoid getting your emails reported as spam.

---> The 7 biggest subject line mistakes sabotaging your open rate.

---> The 4 most powerful tips to get a huge response every time you send an email.

---> Examples of the best (and worst) subject lines...so you don't have to learn the hard way.

This free training is actually an entire section from Linda's upcoming 6-Figure Newsletter Secrets Virtual Intensive, and she has never before offered this 75-minute training for free.

But having heard so many business owners get discouraged over lackluster results and wasted marketing efforts, she decided to offer this training at no cost to contribute to a collective improvement.

I'll "see" you on the call...I can't wait to discover how I can improve my own subject lines!

P.S. When you register for this exclusive training, you will also receive Linda's "Subject Line Success Checklist" (a $79 value), as well as a fun series of short training videos from Linda about using newsletters and other emails to create a 6-figure business (shot in Italy as she runs her own 6-figure business abroad!).

Linda Claire Puig is the Founder and President of Ready2GoArticles.com and Ready2GoEzines.com, which provides coaches and personal development professionals who don't have time to write - or who don't like to - with high-quality done-for-you newsletters and articles that help them more easily connect with their audience and grow their businesses.

She also teaches service-based solo-business owners how to attract buckets of ideal prospects, nurture those relationships through high-value newsletters and strategically use these newsletters to get more clients, fill more programs and make more money.

An award-winning writer since 1983, Linda's articles have appeared in newspapers, magazines and newsletters throughout the world. She has produced newsletters for small businesses and professionals since 1990 and has trained thousands of individuals in "the way of the newsletter." Linda is also an actor, loves to travel, and all manner of dogs catch her eye.


Attract More Clients
October 6

Are you ready to make more money, once and for all? Overwhelmed with all the "how to grow your business" options?

Do you want a "No BS" program that truly delivers what you need?

Garry Schleifer here.

At choice, the magazine of professional coaching, we know the struggles that most coaches have as business owners. We've even got the survey results to prove it!

As Publisher of choice Magazine, and as a coach myself, I have always been committed to the success of coaches and their businesses. There are many "grow your business" programs available to us...some great and some not. I've been studying all of these programs for years, and have concluded that it is high time for a new kind of program...something different. I've wanted a program that is not just about having a pretty binder or book on the shelf or another certificate for the wall.

Most of all, I've wanted a "No BS" program that will absolutely provide, not only the training, but also the rigor and accountability, which is what really creates the results!

I have found the ideal collaborator to partner with at MainStreet, who have successfully worked with coaches, trainers, speakers and consultants using their Attract More Clients income acceleration system. The system is licensed to over 10,000 people worldwide and uses the principles of Murray Smith, one of MainStreet's founders. Murray has built 13 of his own businesses using these strategies and authored "The Answer" which fast became a New York Times and Wall Street Journal best seller in just 3 weeks, it's now published in 27 languages.

I wanted a program to co-brand with my style of ruthless compassion coaching, and this is it. This combination of world class content with my personal coaching is what makes Attract More choice Clients unique. We have developed a comprehensive three-month program that takes you through the entire system making it easy to learn and apply.

Here are some of the benefits that you can expect from this program:

  • Generate more revenues and attract more clients
  • Lower your costs to acquire a client
  • Earn higher profits with less effort
  • Attract clients you actually enjoy doing business with
  • Determine how many clients you need to have to achieve your financial goals
  • Increase your lead generation, conversion & retention
  • Develop a simple and easy plan to attract more clients
  • Reduce or eliminate your fears, doubts and overwhelm
  • Increase your confidence and certainty of overall success

We are looking for a select group of people who are serious about their business and are willing to show it by attending, learning, "actioning" and being willing to be held accountable. If you are really ready, I mean REALLY ready, to do the work, not have your hand held (unless it is to the fire!), and can work with a coach who operates with ruthless compassion then this may be the program for you.

I am so serious about who is allowed to be in this program that I am requesting an email from you explaining why you feel you are ready for this. And be prepared to talk with me for 15-30 minutes about that same topic.

Garry Schleifer, PCC, is a business development coach specializing in working with entrepreneurs, primarily women. With over 23 years of entrepreneurial business experience, Garry is a seasoned businessman and brings a wealth of skill to his coaching.

He applies a signature approach of "Ruthless Compassion" when helping business owners. This approach recognizes that challenging goals must be set and rigorously adhered to - but always with an innate sensitivity, good humour and non-judgement. Garry's "walk the talk" credentials draw from long experience as the visionary behind several multimillion-dollar corporations.

In 1988, he built Synoptic Logistics Management - a distributor of point-of-sale marketing materials for corporations - from a concept, into a business with $3.5 million in annual revenue. Then, in 1996, he planned and managed the merger of Synoptic with a competitor, becoming President of Dyment Distribution Services, the 100-employee, post-merger organization.

In his coaching business, Garry has applied his experience to client engagements including Sysco Food Services Canada, Drake International, Dupar Controls, Street Haven Women's Shelter and the United Nations World Food Program.

Garry earned his Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC) credentials at Coaches Training Institute, one of the world's foremost coach training and certification organizations. He is also a Professional Certified Coach (PCC), as designated by the International Coach Federation (ICF).

Along with his coaching business, choice-coach, Concept Synoptic Inc., he is also owner and publisher of choice, the magazine of professional coaching, www.choice-online.com, distributed quarterly to subscribers in 28 countries.

Garry is Past President of the Toronto ICF Chapter, was Vice President on the ICF Global Board and has served on several, community-based boards or organizations. Garry lives and works in Toronto, Canada.

How to enroll high value clients anytime you want
September 1

When you're having a conversation with a potential client, there is a small window of opportunity to enroll them as a paying client.

I think of it as a "moment of truth," because this is the time that your potential client is hovering on the verge of saying yes to a big positive change in their life.

But in reality, this is what happens most of the time:

  • They go away telling you "I need to think about it" and you never hear from them again. (And the thought of chasing after them feels yucky)
  • Your prospective client says "I don't have time right now" and gives you some excuse as to why
  • They tell you "I can't afford your services" - and it's frustrating not knowing what to say in response

It really doesn't have to be that way.

With the right approach, you can learn how to increase your success with consultations while being your authentic self - without feeling pushy or awkward.

That's why I want you to meet my friend, Bill Baren, who has a proven step-by-step method to enroll high fee clients from 1:1 consultations and EVEN from teleseminars and speaking engagements.

I invited Bill to reveal his most powerful strategies for getting people to say YES! to your services in a special teleclass.

By using these strategies, 80% of the prospective clients Bill talks to say YES to hiring him as a business coach. That's what led Bill to dramatically expand his business (with 4 coaches on his team) AND have a waiting list to get in to work with him.

Here is just some of what Bill will share on this content-rich teleclass:

  • Bill's most powerful step-by-step formula for leading prospective clients to "YES" - it works anytime, anywhere. (This is the true key to radically increasing the number of people who hire you during consultations)
  • How to turn the dreaded response of "I can't afford it" into the perfect opportunity for you to enroll a new client right on the spot.
  • The #1 thing you need to do in your consultations so that clients say yes to your services (it's not what you think).
  • Is fear of rejection or lack of confidence stopping you from getting clients? Bill will show you a simple fear-busting technique you can use right away.
  • Bill's super easy method that you can use during free consultations that can DOUBLE the number of prospective clients who hire you.

If having consultations that turn into clients is a skill you know you need to learn (or improve), I highly encourage you to make time to be with us on this call.

Bill will show you EXACTLY what to say to enroll new clients 80% of the time or more. And it's not pushy, so it's perfect if you have an aversion to having to "sell" yourself or your services.

One of the things I so appreciate about Bill is how much value he gives in his calls. So register now so that your place on the call is reserved, OK? (You'll get the call recording too, so be sure to register if even if you might have to miss the call)

As a thank you, you'll also get Bill Baren's "5 Steps To A 6-Figure Income Through Masterful Enrollment Conversations" Guide, which shows you how to use masterful enrollment conversations to create a 6-figure business.

You can get your complimentary copy of this ebook (a $97 value) here

Bill is a top business coach dedicated to helping business owners make a difference in getting new clients and growing their businesses. He is the founder of Bill Baren Coaching, and he has personally coached thousands of small business owners on how to enroll new clients, earn significantly more money and create more impact with their gifts.

Bill's business has really taken off in the last 3-4 years. In fact every single program he offers sells out. Some of these sold out live and online programs have included - Client Mastery Blueprint, The Big Shift Experience, the Ultimate Entrepreneur Toolkit and Master of Enrollment, which has quickly become his most popular offering.

"The 3 Best 'Newly Discovered' Client-Getting Tactics of *2011* ...That Are GUARANTEED to Skyrocket Your Profits In the Next 12 Months (And Elite Coaches Hope You Never Discover)"

"Within a week I sold out my coaching program for a total of $18,000. The best part is that I turned a lot of people away and got exactly the right type of people that I can help the most."
--Jonathan Mead

"Clay absolutely crushes it. I have unsubscribed from most other teachers/coaches, etc. as I truly feel I will get the most from Clay. His latest webinar was a thing of brilliance."
-- Jennifer Pearson


HERE'S WHAT WE LEARNED WITH CLAY COLLINS:

  • The 3 best performing client-getting tactics of 2011 (most of which you've never heard of . . . ) and that other top-performing coaches won't be publicly talking about until 2015.
  • The #1 best use of your advertising dollars (and a strategy that you can implement in 30 minutes or less) that has never lost me or my private clients money EVER. Note: This is an underground advertising strategy that almost no one has heard of or used.
  • How to create a coaching program that 'sells out' BEFORE it's ever created (discover how to make your program profitable long before you spend one lousy cent producing it).
  • The 5 pieces of information you need before you spend any time or money building a website for your business (the avenue that most people take, and fail).
  • The #1 best tactic for getting clients in 2011 (hint: it's not a sales letter, a sales video, or a free strategy phone call).
  • The only way to get started: how to introduce yourself to your prospective client base, and get OTHER PEOPLE and build your email list (of potential clients) within weeks.
  • How to get paid to figure out exactly what kind of coaching program your future clients want you to create.

There's No Such Thing As Not Applicable ' Turbo Charge Your Coaching Using ALL Core Coaching Competencies EVERY Session Teleseminar - August 10

What do you believe? Are you ready to challenge your assumptions? Will you join us and learn the secret for how to turbo-charge your effectiveness as a professional coach? Many colleagues espouse a blended approach as more suitable in order to meet the needs clients request. Have you considered that clients lack your understanding of the power of the coaching modality? If you don't choose to fully embody the complete essence of this extraordinary social change technology, how will your clients know the powerful impact?

Professional coaching is a powerful agent of change for individuals and organizations alike. We see it creating social change, transforming cultures by increasing human relatedness, resilience, adaptability, acceptance of difference, unconditional curiosity, in short, wholeness. Being the cause of change through coaching plants the seed of a culture that welcomes and enables people to bring their whole selves to the table, any table and all tables of human experience.

However, to have this remarkable impact, the art, science and practice of professional coaching uses all parts of the body of knowledge represented in the ICF Core Coaching Competencies. Seriously, reflect for a moment, do you think sometimes that one or more of the competencies are "not applicable"? If you answer yes, then we invite you to join this conversation, bring your client situations that trigger you to abandon the coaching competencies in favor of other methods and learn what is possible for you to raise the bar on your excellence as coach.

BONUS: inviteCHANGE Core Competencies

The 7 Best Ways to Gain New Clients Online
August 9

I'm excited to announce a new webinar with my friend George Kao. You won't want to miss this event...you'll not only learn how to get new clients online but will be able to take action and apply the concepts George will be sharing with us.

During this informative 90-minute webinar, you'll discover:

--Social media in context. There is so much hyperactivity in social media, and so little livelihood earned, because most people often use social media marketing out of context. We will explain during this call, and teach you a much more productive alternative!

--Are you giving away too much valuable advice? You may have heard that you must share lots of free content before people will buy from you.... Unfortunately, this is often misinterpreted, and results in the failure of many businesses. We will explain on this webinar, and share a far better method!

--Webinars: much better than blogging. To reach your ideal audience -- the people who benefit most from who you are and what you offer -- there is no faster and more effective way than through partner webinars. If you're good at networking or making new connections, webinars will be the fastest and least expensive marketing strategy to grow your business.

My friend George Kao and I will share a highly effective framework with you on this webinar.


Increase your profits... Grow Your Business By Working With a Virtual Assistant
Kristi Pavlik - May 3

Are you tired of having a much longer task list than you have hours in the day?

Are you wondering how to use your time more effectively so that you can either find new clients or actually work with your current ones? 

Ever thought about finding someone to help you figure out ways to simplify the administrative end of your business so that you can focus more on the delivery of your services? 

Wonder how you can follow the E-Myth model and “work ON your business instead of IN it”? 

This session will take a look at how to utilize a support system, such as a Virtual Assistant (VA), so that you can get back to the “real work” that inspired you to become a business owner in the first place. We will talk about what the VA industry is all about, addressing why you should work with a VA, how to determine when it’s time to bring on some help, how to find that perfect assistant, and what needs to be done in order to maintain not just good, but great relations with your VA.
