Multiply Your Best Clients

Discover a Proven Process to Attract More Right-Fit Clients.

The Cates Academy for Relationship Marketing™ is a comprehensive online video-training program that will help you generate significantly more income in less time. Work smarter, not harder!

“After going through The Cates Academy, my business grew 60% over the previous year. I’m now spending less time chasing after prospects who don’t want to hear from me, and more time doing the work I love to do.”

Mike Barratt, Financial Advisor | Des Moines, IA

Build a Perpetual Flow of Right-Fit Clients by
Mastering these 3 Core Strategies:

 

 

People today are bombarded with over 3,000 marketing messages a day, 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 and barriers in the market, so you reach and convert more high-level clients.  

 

You may be surprised to learn that research shows a low correlation between client satisfaction/loyalty and giving referrals. So who does give referrals? Engaged clients!

Video course #2 will teach you how to start getting referrals without asking by maximizing engagement throughout 3 phases of the client journey:  

  • Prospect Experience
  • New Client Experience, and
  • Ongoing Client Experience.

 

Leveraging engaged clients takes you from incremental growth to exponential growth. The key to success is being proactive in a way that isn’t pushy or needy. 

In video courses #3 – 5, you’ll discover a proven and predictable process for asking clients and centers of influence for introductions to Right-Fit prospects, including how to:

  • Ask for referrals (the right way)
  • Turn referrals into introductions
  • Grow a network of referral partners

  • “I have been in business for 24 years and was never comfortable asking for the dreaded word: referrals. I am using Bill’s word crafting and it WORKS! I am having so much fun now.”

    Robin Wollfe

  • “Because of Cates’ system, I qualified for our Leaders Club my very first year (which was only 6 months long) and every year since. The biggest complaint amongst advisors is that they don’t have enough people to call, which I believe is their own fault. I can honestly say I probably would not have made it had I not been introduced to Bill’s program.”

    Gary Yaglenski
    Perkasie, PA
  • “Just yesterday, I used Bill’s V.I.P.S. Method and it generated over 5 referrals inside one family alone. Fast, easy business. I’m helping these people, and I’m gaining business I wouldn’t have gotten without this process.”
