Build a Perpetual Flow of Right-Fit Clients by
Mastering these 3 Core Strategies:
Your prospects are bombarded with marketing messages, making it nearly impossible to grab their attention.
If you’re not Radically Relevant, you’ll be ignored.
In Video Course #1, you will learn how to sharpen your value proposition to cut through the noise – to reach and convert more high-level clients.
Research actually shows a low correlation between client satisfaction/loyalty and giving referrals. It’s engaged clients who provide referrals.
Video Course #2 will show you how to get referrals without asking by maximizing engagement throughout the 3 phases of the client journey, including 1. the Prospect Experience, 2. the New Client Experience, and 3. the Client Experience.
Go from incremental growth to exponential growth. You can be proactive without pushing or begging.
Video Courses #3 and #4 will show you a proven and pressure-less process for promoting and asking clients for introductions.
No more “creepy referral guy” methods, just effective introductions to ideal clients.
