Are you as good as you say you are?

Not quite ready to take the plunge and use my services?

Having flashbacks about the last consultant/coach you hired or the last sales trainer you booked who "said all the right things" up front, but turned out to be a total disaster and you swore that you would never let that happen again?

So now you're very leery of people like me because you don't want to feel ripped off, cheated, or disappointed.  Especially since we're probably just some company you stumbled across on the web.

More so, are you concerned about hiring some stranger to work one-one-one with you?  You're even more concerned because you can't meet with any of us face-to-face because of geographical constraints?

I understand how you feel and share your concerns.  Here are some of the most frequently asked questions I receive and hopefully this page will alleviate your worries.

What assurances do I have that what you recommend will work?
I adhere to a strict Client Care Program that is designed to make sure you're getting your money's worth for anything you purchase.  I, or someone from my office, will keep in touch with you by phone or e-mail and we are always "on call" to answer any questions you may have.  I get bombarded with lots of calls and e-mails but I try to get back to people as quickly as possible. Best of all, I offer an iron-clad triple guarantee for anyone who purchases my Mastery Marketing® System.

Have you worked with other businesses in my industry?
It's hard to say. I have personally worked with companies from over 170 service industries. But it really doesn't matter if we haven't worked with a "telecommunications engineer who specializes in serving PABX systems, from 100 ports to 10,000 ports and 50 line to 400 line medium size PABX using PCM technology and key systems with or without integrated voice mail and call accounting systems."

You bring your technical skills and knowledge to the table and we'll bring ours. That's all you need. Just remember the old adage, "Do what you do best and pay someone else to do what they do best, that way you'll always come out ahead."

My problem is follow-through. I've got a full plate already. How can I make sure things get put into action?
This seems to be the number one concern with most service providers - not enough time.  The thing to realize is that not until you master "bringing in work while doing work" can you truly grow and prosper.

Maybe you're the kind of person who isn't flexible when it comes to your work habits.  Just remember that new avenues of achievement - achieving things you've never done before - requires changing patterns of the past.

While I can't do your marketing for you, you'll find most of my strategies and approaches easy, inexpensive, and fun to implement once you get the hang of it. And don't forget we are always available to answer any questions you may have and assist you any we can. In the meantime, here's a quick story that makes my point:

When will I start to get a return on my investment in terms of new clients for any of your services I purchase?
That's a function of how committed you are to implementing your marketing program.  I've worked with some clients who generated new business the very next day after putting my recommendations to use.  Some within a week or two, or even several months. It's really about how willing you are to "put the l adder up" and climb it.

When it comes to marketing, a lot of internal issues are at affect.  For instance, how do you handle rejection?  Disappointment?  How willing are you to plunge into the unknown on occasion and market yourself?  Do you tend to procrastinate?

My friend, it's never too late to dream another dream, set a new goal, or chart a new course.  You may miss out on wonderful opportunities if you lose your sense of adventure.  Get out of your comfort zones.  It's all up to you.

Will there be a lot of other marketing costs I have to incur?
It really depends.  Most of my clients have been able to generate gigantic increases in new business with small out-of-pocket investments in marketing.  Some marketing strategies require large amounts of money.  Most don't.  Factors such as your target market, your core message and your willingness to take risk have a lot to do with how much money you'll have to spend.  My goal is to always keep marketing expenditures low. Your total investment may only be a few hundred dollars.

Are you expensive?
Not really. Once you start applying my marketing principles and approaches, clients and cash will roll in. Any money worries can end. Slow periods and cash flow peaks and valleys can be a thing of the past.  Working hard, stress, anxiety … all that can even disappear and your business can always be fun and exciting.

One final thought: When Lee Iaccoca was asked what single "quality" he looked for in the people he chose as his top, key associates, he instantly said: "The ability to make a decision." Even though I'm giving you my personal promise — an iron-clad guarantee — to make sure you are pleased with the work I do for you, I know that investing money in marketing is a major decision for many service providers. Maybe it is for you, too. But if funds are tight right now, that's the best reason of all to act on this opportunity immediately — so two or three months from now cash flow is no longer an issure for you.

Listen, you have developed certain technical skills and I'm sure you do quality work.  Therefore, you should be getting your cut of the action: Taking home more money than you now do.  Enjoying life more. Investing for future financial security.  Providing more for your family.

And if you're NOT, and you turn your back on me now, then how and when are things going to change for the better in your business?  Yeah, you probably will continue to get referrals.  Sure, you might hit the lottery.  But don't hold your breath.  Get real.  Please.
