Structure of the Standard Program

Teleseminar Training — Eight Tuesdays from 2:00 - 3:30 PM CST. In these sessions, Bill will present the core information that you need to conduct client value conversations (see each week's description below). Bill will present a new core concept each week, and then you will be able to hear real-life client value conversations. This is not theoretical information. These recordings come straight from the real world of talking to clients.

Q&A Sessions with Bill — Eight Fridays from 2:00 — 3:30 PM CST. After you have had a couple of days to absorb the information in the training sessions, you can call in to ask specific questions of Bill about your own clients. Every client is different. Each may pose challenges that you might think cannot be overcome. Bill has never been stumped. Bring your questions. Bill will answer them.

Pre-Course Small Group Coaching. These 90-minute sessions will be held before the course starts, or as close to the start as possible. In these smaller group sessions, Bill will talk to each and every one of you about your challenges and what you want to get out of the course. Bill will model for you just what a first Client Value Conversation might sound like with a new prospect. He will show you how to dig for pain and establish value. Besides helping you move ahead quickly in the course, you get to see real CVCs in action and get to know some of your fellow students.

Mid-Term Small Group Coaching. About mid-way through the course, you will again meet in small groups with Bill. Bill will again talk to each and every one of you about what you have learned, and more importantly, how the client value conversation process is working for you with your clients. This will again follow a CVC format, so you will again be seeing the process in action. And you can learn from your fellow students as you hear how they are working with their clients.

Follow-up Small Group Coaching. Finally, shortly after you complete the course, you will meet one more time with Bill. He will again talk to each and every one of you about how you are applying the techniques learned in this class. And he will help you overcome any last minute obstacles you might face in moving ahead with CVCs. This will again follow the CVC process, so you will see how easy it is to use this approach to "harvest" testimonials from clients. This is a very important session, as you will see how testimonials are created without even requesting them from clients.

Complete Study Guide and Scripts. After doing over 1,000 interviews, Bill has perfected ways of asking nearly any question you can imagine asking a client. In this PDF study guide, you will see the step-by-step process and the specific scripts you can use with your clients.

Bonuses of the Premium Program

Recordings of the Training Sessions. If you worry at all about whether or not you might miss a session, then this bonus is for you. You will get a download link that will allow you to download and listen to this training anytime you wish in the future. You can also use it in-house to train your staff.

Your Personal Staff Attends Free. If you have other people who work directly with you, they may attend the sessions at no charge. They can even ask questions and participate. This is particularly valuable if you have someone else who directly helps you with marketing.

Access to Sample Interviews. Bill learns something new from nearly every interview he does. You can only cover so many examples in each class. But Bill will be posting sample interviews that he has done with real clients as learning tools. Each recording will include Bill talking about the specific concept or technique being demonstrated.

Six Months Online Forum Support. You will have free access to this online forum for 6 months. That will allow you to post questions to Bill and other students. Bill will answer all posts. But in addition to Bill, you will gain the benefit of other students as well.

How I've Helped My Clients Do Great Things

"You need to have Client Value Conversations with your clients. I learned it from Tony Robbins years ago. But Tony never taught me to take it to this level that Bill is doing. It's changed - not only my business and my marketing - but my life as well."
Get the rest of Robin's story >

"All I can say is, if the only thing I get out of the training you are about to take me through is this one meeting, I would be satisfied - very satisfied. My first conversation with my client was absolutely incredible! He shared so much so openly that I feel flattered, as if he has invited me into his world to be a partner in his plans."
Get the rest of John's story >

"I thought I was doing Customer Value Conversations already. I discovered I really wasn't. Learning to do CVCs has allowed me to take a position of power in my business, close sales more easily, and start to create a business that will give me the life I desire."
Get the rest of Erin's story >

"The first "conversation" with my client was excellent. The lunch went for about an hour & forty five minutes, well past the time he had allotted for the meeting. He said he was really pleased that I had called the meeting and that they were really in need of someone to help steer them through their technological issues."
Get the rest of Michael's story >

"Bill's got a heart of gold. I just don't think you can find a better guy. You can't find someone who has a better understanding of how the testimonial works, how to structure the testimonial, how to get the testimonial, how to use the testimonial."
Get the rest of Sean's story >

"Not all brilliant people can teach. A lot of gurus want to just pontificate, take the money and walk away. Bill is not like that at all. He is the antithesis of that. He will make sure you "get it."
Get the rest of Vickie's story >

"The service Bill is offering is so novel and so obviously valuable that I told him immediately that my More Clients subscribers should know about it. Since then, I've used his services and have been even more impressed."
