Have you ever considered owning your own consulting business? In this free audio seminar, I talk with Sam Bowman, a successful marketing consultant from Nashville, Tennessee, who was trained in a sales and marketing system that is almost identical to the Hidden Marketing Assets (HMA) system. Based upon his experience with real face-to face selling and all the planning that goes with it, Sam explains what it takes to be successful as a marketing consultant.
The purpose of this Sam Bowman interview by Michael Senoff is to share Sam's key strategies for starting and operating a successful consulting business and how he applied a sales and marketing system that works.
During this discussion, you will learn about
-
Required traits and competencies of a successful consultant

Getting started and projecting revenue

How to get clients, number of calls, and ratio of calls to appointments
-
Identifying the right clients and which clients to avoid
-
Setting appointments and pre-qualifying
-
Pre-call planning and handling appointments
-
Importance of a client needs assessment and what to look for

The proposal, agreement, pricing, and getting paid.
Once you listen and learn from Sam's consulting experience, you will be able to apply these methods to your own consulting business and reap the rewards of owning this type of business.

Imagine This...
Clients Flooding Your Practice To Hire You
Here's a live three part training call that teaches you how to get a client by phone
Part One Case Study String Cheese Distributor
|
Treat yourself to a consulting adventure you have to stay home for. You're about to be handed the key to getting all the marketing consulting clients you can handle. First thing I want you to do is to download these two files. 1)Opportunity analysis worksheet and 2) the HMA opportunity analysis training.
Print these out and follow along with me before you listen to any of the recordings. Here's why...
I know if I can work with you and show you by example how to get a client, you're confidence in yourself will go up. I know if you can have a list of questions to ask your consulting prospects, you'll be more likely to meet with them. I know that If I can teach you how to conduct an Opportunity Analysis by phone, without face to face meetings, you be more likely to start your own consulting business. I know you're going to benefit tremendously from this real live case study on how to use an Opportunity Analysis Worksheet to get all clients you can handle.
Let me explain.
What you'll hear in the first section is a real client calling me for for the first time looking for marketing help for his cheese business. Then, you'll hear me call Richard for coaching advice on how to perform the opportunity analysis interview with this prospect.
Richard has 14 years of experience conducting hundreds of business opportunity analysis sessions with clients ranging from Mom and Pop small businesses to multi million dollars corporations. Richard will use his years of in-the-field experience to give me a 20 minute coaching session of his best advice on what to do before I call my prospect.
Then, you'll hear me call the prospect and conduct the Opportunity Analysis for real. This part is about an hour long of me taking the client through the Opportunity Analysis Worksheet. Listen in as I hunt for hidden marketing assets. You'll hear how I distinguish how my consulting is different from other marketing consultants. You'll hear me offer my services with my unique risk-free guarantee. You'll hear all the exciting, fun, educational and profitable details in this part of the lesson.
And, finally, at the very end of part three is what we all want to hear from our prospects. It's the client calling me back to hire me as a consultant. You'll hear him take my mailing address down so he can send me the money via Federal Express. This was only the second time I have used this Opportunity Analysis Worksheet to sell consulting services. The first is in another recording below with an accountant from Australia.
This is real, as it happened, and it's absolute proof that you can do this too. Other consulting opportunities will tell you how to get clients. They'll give you loads of unnecessary untested client generating tools. They'll give you post cards, newspaper ads and fancy calculators. You do not need all that stuff. All you need is one thing that works. They'll tell you how to get clients but I'll show you how. I'll offer you PROOF! All you have to do is do it. Now go get some clients. And once you have a client, let me show you what to do with them by using Richard's Marketing Consulting Training System.

In Person, The Hottest "Low Cost/High Return" Marketing Secrets & Strategy To Double Your Business In The Next 6 Months!"
97% of salesman make no attempt to sell the prospect after the third attempt. It is also a fact that most prospects do not buy until after the sixth month from initial contact. One third of all buyers buy only after 18 months of the buying process. 20% of buyers amazingly buy 24 or more months after the initial contact. What is wrong with this picture?
I was in my office on March, 31st and I got a call from Jim Cecil. I had recognized the name and voice immediately because Jim Cecil was one of the main speakers at the Jay Abraham Protégé Training Seminar back in 1990. I have heard him often and loved his presentation on how to grow a business. Jim contacted me to see what I was up to. I asked him if I could interview him and we did about a 70-minute interview on a fascinating customer touching process that he developed called Nurture. Nurture is a customized series of ongoing contacts mostly sent by mail for business-to-business customer retention and customer prospecting. In this interview, James revealed three amazing case studies:
The first was about the Cancer Treatment Centers of America , which created tens of millions worth of net revenue; the second case study was with a Brian Ruh from East Holstein Wisconsin who was a life insurance salesman and through the Nurture process alone grew to the 34th ranking life insurance salesman in the New York Life Insurance Company world. The last case study is a story about a stockbroker who generated a multimillion dollar account by singing happy birthday over the phone in to an answering machine. In this interview, you'll hear these case stories and you'll understand the power of this one marketing concept. If you take what you hear in the interview and implemented it in your business or implemented into another business, you could change the business forever. There has been no better time in history and no better software to make this process automatic. Enjoy this 70 minute interview.

It's My Turn To Reveal My Business Secrets
Michael Senoff is interviewed
This is a twist for me. In this audio, I'm the one being interviewed and I rarely give out interviews. But when an Internet marketer named Jay Gould asked me to talk about my business strategies, I decided to give him the full story.
Now, this isn't my biography. For those of you who don't know, I have a separate web page with my life story on it-- complete with baby pictures and personal information. So that's not what this interview is about. This audio is the biography of my site and my business. It's how it came to be what it is today. You'll hear how I stumbled across the business of reselling Jay Abraham seminars and how that developed into the site I have now.
You'll hear about what I call hustling. Sometimes when you're first starting out, you just need to bring in cash. So, I talk about my old pen business and how I got my son's nanny to put together pens during naptimes. And you'll also hear how it all progressed to the business I have today - exactly how I did it and how I'm still doing it.
Here are a few of the many things I reveal in this interview…
-
How I record audio and get it on the Internet - including the exact products I use, what they cost, where I buy them and how I hook them up
-
What kind of marketing I use for my site
-
How I get testimonials easily and effortlessly
-
How I started working with Richard and HMA Consulting
-
Why I don't use pay-per-clicks or any offline marketing
-
How I track my promotions
-
How I price my products
-
And much, much more
This audio is about two hours long, broken into four 30-minute clips. It was originally recorded in 2004 for the marketing students on Jay's website. And I don't hold anything back. This really is business as I know it.
Even though I majored in advertising and minored in marketing, college didn't teach me much about business. Experience is the best instructor I know of, and that's what this interview is all about -- the lessons I've learned along the way that you just can't get from a university. Enjoy.

How To Use Tent Promotions To Sell Your Products By The Trainloads Outside The Doors Of Huge Retailers Like Lowes, Home Depot, Sport Authority, and Circuit City
|
Tent promotions work! Imagine…if you could introduce your product to customers who shop at a large retailer on any given day; you'd be reaching thousands of people per week. Big Box Retailers like Lowes, Home Depot, Sports Authority, and Circuit City draw customers into their store like bees to honey; and one very astute marketer has perfected a plan to get in on their success. He sets up a "tent" outside their store to promote and sell his product. He gets direct access to all the Retailer's customers without having to spend huge dollars on his own advertising and he enjoys the instant credibility that the retailers provide. After all, Home Depot isn't going to let just any product be promoted outside its doors; and there is always the possibility the retailer will decide to carry your product if you can demonstrate a significant percentage of their customers are interested in it. The gentleman I speak with is a joint venture tent promotion expert and he provides details on how to set-up the joint venture with a large retailer, how to negotiate permission to set up your tent promotion, what licenses are required, the amount of money that can be made, back-end costs, the best dates to stage your event, and potential drawbacks to be aware of. Listen to this interview and you will immediately be able to put a plan in motion that gets access to more customers than you ever thought possible. This is a comprehensive how-to lesson so sit-back, listen, enjoy, and profit from Tent promotions in your town.

What Will You Do When Your Personal Assets Are Seized To Satisfy A Judgment Against Your Corporation?
|
Gary C, CEP®, MCEP, EPS, CSA®, RFC, CCA™, CEA™, CEA® is one of the most knowledgeable people I have ever met when it comes to the subject of asset protection. This interview is based on Gary's decades of personal and professional experience. Gary was a business owner first before he became an asset protectionist. He's learned how to protect his assets through real world experience, not just theory.
In this seminar, special emphasis is placed on the mechanics of the various entities including much needed information on business structures like 1) Sole Proprietorships; 2) Partnerships; 3) Corporations; 4) Limited Partnerships; 5) Limited Liability Companies; 6) Trusts; 7) Retirement Plans and more; 8 Foreign Corporations as Entities; and more.
You'll hear how to survive lawsuits, frustrate creditors, and discourage predatory litigation. You'll discover how you can go bankrupt but still legally prosper and get on with your life. Gary also discusses how being on disability or being on Social Security doesn't mean that you can't earn more money.
You'll also learn some strategies to protect your assets if you are a rental property owner or if you are in the process of developing raw land. It all has to do with creating multiple, separate Limited Liability Companies.
Listen carefully as Gary gives a detailed explanation of how you can buy a home at a 70% discount both ethically and legally.
There are too many jewels in this interview on Asset Protection to list here so I strongly advise that you listen more than once. After your mind stops reeling with possibilities, I have no doubt that you will be investigating some of Gary's strategies in more detail. This seminar is 90 minutes.(Back to index)
