Alan Weiss Posted April 29, 2020 Report Share Posted April 29, 2020 Paula, if you want to do this rapidly and well, use Word. Insert photos or graphics as needed. I'd say 30-50 pages, with a color "cover." Keep in mind you might want to use it in hard copy sometime. What do you mean by "distribution"? Do you mean to whom to send it, or how to send it? The latter seems self-evident. This thread probably belongs on a different board, it's not really related to virus victories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Weiss Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 I have 12 coaching calls today, they average 20-30 minutes. Eight of them are with people who never before engaged with me. I've also completed, after two weeks, a 35-page proposal for a new book on Legacy, including the sample chapter, to send to two new agents. I'm having one of my best Marches ever. I'm not bragging. I'm telling you what's possible if you innovate new services, overcome doubts and "no money" syndrome, and are fearless in approaching others. I've also built four models, improved my train layout, and read four books. I don't want to tell you how much I've drunk. Oh, yeah: And two livestream events, two Sentient Zoom training certifications and one Zoom feature for the Forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulEvans Posted May 19, 2020 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 Hi Alan, Absolutely in terms of high level fundamental requirements of consulting. Whether it's a course or a growth experience I feel that a 12 week process would be beneficial to those wanting to move from $0-$100K. Here's what I did in the past for speakers... That's a high level overview of a process from my personal experience. It's a 9 week experience from the top down. However, it's content and cannot get into detailed context produced by each individual's specific situation. Back to Million Dollar Consulting. Taking the book and making it a course would be advantageous in terms of increased income, but more importantly a greater number of personal clients. The workshops and teleconferences in Growth Access could be applied to various frameworks like above - resulting in instant "courses." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffreyScott Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 My biggest win - and this is a long time coming - I have started having al lmy prospect meetings by Zoom (instead of phone) and it is working much better. For example, Met yesterday with husband and wife, wife zoomed in from home, and it worked extremely well and got the verbal yes from both of them after we discussed fees. This is one of those thing I should have done years ago when Alan first told us to not sell by phone. I kept selling by phone because it worked, but zoom works better.
