Colm, Brandy, Eric, Wes, and Christina at Thanksgiving Dinner

Wes, Eric, Sean, Colm, Christina celebrating Thanksgiving at Eric & Brandy

Hope you’ve had a great Thanksgiving holiday.

We all enjoyed a good day off yesterday, and Christina and I celebrated Thanksgiving dinner with Eric & Brandy at their house.

Unfortunately Eric’s Mom got sick, so his parents couldn’t make the trip, but Eric’s 95-years-young grandfather came out all the way from Charlotte to join us.

Wes Ruth (Eric’s grandad) is a former Navy pilot and is by FAR the sharpest 95 year old I’ve ever met.

My grandad is 98 and still going strong, but I think if they were to wrestle, I would have to give the advantage to Wes no contest!

Anyway, there are several things I’m thankful for this Thanksgiving holiday…

I am thankful that in this economy I have put in the time and effort to learn marketing, sales, and management skills that will help our companies and our members clients not only survive this economy but THRIVE in it!

I’m thankful that we’ve been able to share tremendous fitness business development systems, tools, and coaching with all our members and while others are struggling right now… our members continue to have their BEST MONTHS EVER!

And I’m thankful that as we continue to grow as a company over here, we’ve attracted even more great people to join our programs and “RISE UP” to new levels of achievement and success in their businesses (and therefore their lives).

Over the past month, we’ve welcomed 24 new VIP members into our AREA-EXCLUSIVE membership program. And over the next 3, 6, and 12 months these folks will all make massive LEAPS in their personal and professional growth, breaking through barriers they never thought possible.

In just the next few weeks, we now have 11 interviews lined up with more folks that want to make the leap into our top VIP program.

If you’re not on that list yet, then I encourage you to request an no-obligation info-pack and get all the details at:

Then get back to enjoying some more time off this wonderful holiday weekend with those you care about.

Best Regards,
Sean

P.S. Congrats go out to Platinum member Tony Maslan, who sent me this quick e-mail yesterday:

And not only goes he ‘get it’, but he does it…

…and a LOT of it!

What am I talking about?

I’m talking about using the power of SOCIAL PROOF in all your marketing.

Coach RB Berry, owner of Dare To Be Fit, in Oceanside California has been an NPE member since the very beginning.

And let me say this again so it’s clear, NOBODY does a better job of using social proof in their marketing than Coach Berry.

Coach consistently sends us samples of postcards, ads, videos, events, and more where he ’showcases’ the results his clients are getting and leverages them to grow his business.

And the results his clients get are VERY impressive.

Heck when you showcase client success stories and results like these, you can do just about everything else WRONG in your marketing… and STILL bring new clients by the dozens.

During our Member of The Year contest finals in Boston,MA Coach put on one heck of a show sharing with everyone how he’s built his business by showcasing  social proof… and speaking to large groups all over his community.

Check out the video of his presentation and get some tips on how you can do the same at:

http://www.netprofitexplosion.com

During his presentation Coach also shared some numbers on both new clients and revenue he’s been able to bring into his studio from his public speaking events, and if I shared them with you in this e-mail you probably wouldn’t believe me. So go listen to Coach tell you for himself at:

http://www.netprofitexplosion.com

To your success,
Sean

P.S. If you want to learn more about the system Coach Berry has been using to pack the house for multiple community wide seminars, and tips on how to maximize conversion of all attendees to hungry and eager prospects ready to do business with YOU then join us on tomorrow’s Public Speaking Profits webinar taking place at 3pm EST. Last chance to register at:

http://www.FitBizGoldRush.com

P.P.S. Eric and I just want to say THANK YOU again to Coach Berry for all that he continues to do in ‘giving back’ to both his community and ours. He’s someone we both respect and admire greatly. And as you’ll see in his video, Coach is truly loved by all. Thank you Coach for all that you do!.

Eric, Bill Glazer, and Sean with NPE

Well Eric, Christina and I got back late last night from St. Louis.

We were there attending the Dan Kennedy Info-Summit and it was a great event.

Not only did we learn a ton and have several successful meetings over the trip, but we presented our story Friday morning to the packed house and then on Sunday afternoon were awarded “Info-Marketers of The Year”.

This is a tremendous honor, and one which we are proud to receive.

Dan Kennedy and Bill Glazer have pioneered everything in the Info-Marketing world… and are ‘godfathers’ of the industry today.

To receive their award for the #1 Info-Marketing company of the year just incredible.

What does this mean to you?

Well it’s just more validation that by being a customer and member of NPE, you are running with the ‘best of the best’.

And I’ll tell you what, if you thought 2008 was a killer year for our company, wait til you see what we’ve got in store for 2009!

Ok, the second thing I want to remind you of this morning is to be sure and register to attend our “Public Speaking Profits” webinar on Wednesday at 3pm EST.

Registration is at:

http://www.FitBizGoldRush.com

We’ve got a ton of content planned to give-away for the call, and we’ll be covering everything you need to do in order to capitalize on the New Year’s opportunity fast approaching.

Listen, we’re now just 7 weeks away from the BIGGEST seasonal event of the year in the fitness industry.

Join us on Wednesday’s webinar and learn how to position yourself to make the most of it!

It’s from a studio owner we’ve been working with for about a year now.

She’s come a LONG way in a VERY short period of time, and she presented on stage for the Member of the Year contest in Boston.

Her name is Shana Ross and she owns Shana Ross Fitness in Houston, TX.

Shana has achieved quite a bit of business success since opening her new studio.

In fact, she has 81 clients on the books and has brought in a little over $225K in just 12 months.

But more than that, she’s CHANGING LIVES.

And isn’t that why we all got into this business in the first place?

As Shana said in her presentation, “There is nothing better than at the end of the day, having someone come into your office and say ‘you’ve changed my life’.”

And I couldn’t have said it any better myself.

I invite you to take a few minutes today and watch the video of her presentation. Then get your hands on the giant 106 pg. “swipe file” of materials each of the finalists sent in for the Member Of The Year contest (tons of sales letters, ads, newsletters, and other profit-producing client-generating tools). All that we ask is you make a small donation to one of our favorite charity’s - the Wounded Warrior Project.

Donate whatever amount your comfortable, $25, $50, or $100… it all goes toward a great cause.

Just click one of the links below, and you’ll be directed to an order form to complete your donation. Upon submission you’ll be taken right to the download page of the big swipe file.

Click here to donate $25 to the Wounded Warrior Project and get the 106 pg. swipe file

Click here to donate $50 to the Wounded Warrior Project and get the 106 pg. swipe file

Click here to donate $100 to the Wounded Warrior Project and get the 106 pg. swipe file

Here’s another incentive for you to GIVE BIG!

Everyone who donates a $100 will be put into a drawing for a 1hr. consult with Eric and I (value $800 and not currently for sale anywhere else at this time because we’re too slammed to offer it!). Drawing will be done next week, so this is your LAST chance to get in the drawing. Winner will be notified via e-mail. There are just a handful of folks who’ve given $100, so right now your odds are pretty good of winning.

So click on those links, support a great cause, and get your hands on a tremendous book of fitness business tools and inspiration from all our our Member of the Year finalists!

Have a great weekend,
Sean

New video from NPE Member Shana Ross (see the story below!)

This morning we’ll all moving a little slow after yesterday’s Fitness Marketing Explosion webinar.

Was a big showing (as always) and today’s clean up day.

Then going to get a little rest before Eric and I fly to Boston tomorrow night for this weekend’s MEGA TRAINING event.

The last couple week’s have been so busy here, I’m overdue in sharing this with you.

Here’s the (back)story:

Last year we started an annual “NPE Member of the Year” contest, and all the top members sent in packages for review. Each shared examples and stories of how much they’re grown and why they should be chosen for the award.

This year, since we’re bringing everyone together live for the MEGA TRAINING event in Boston, we thought we’d run the contest a little different.

We invited members to submit packages as usual, but then Eric, Dick, and I had the grueling task of sifting through those packages to choose 5 finalists to present LIVE on stage Saturday night at the event.

This year, the members will vote and choose the NPE member of the year.

And I’ll tell you what, the competition is tough!

Picking 5 finalists out of the 13 LARGE packages we received was very hard.

But picking a winner out of these 5 is going to be even tougher!

First let me thank the 13 members who submitted packages for the contest:

1. Billy Beck II, BB3 Fitness, Weston, FL (Gold Plus)

2. Brad Scott, Melbourne, FL (Gold Plus)

3. Coach RB Berry, Dare To Be Fit, Oceanside, CA (VIP)

4. Conor Kelly, Evolution Fitness, Willowdale, ON Canada (Gold Plus)

5. Ginny Grupp, AlaskaFit, Girdwood, AK (Gold)

6. Kennett Washington, Healing Strength PT, Charlotte, NC (Gold Plus)

7. Mike Stare, Spectrum Fitness Consulting, Beverly, MA (Gold Plus)

8. Scott Allen, Fitness Together, Maple Grove, MN (Gold Plus)

9. Shana Ross, Shana Ross Fitness, Houston, TX (Platinum)

10. Shannon Willits, Pilates Sarasota, Sarasota, FL (Gold Plus)

11. Shayne Cahill, Progress Personal Training, Spring Hill, FL (Gold Plus)

12. Tony Maslan, Custom Fit PT, Evansville, IN (Platinum)

13. Vic Magary, Metro Martial Arts & Fitness, Columbus, OH (Gold Plus)

The 5 finalists chosen are (in no particular order):

- Coach RB Berry, Dare To Be Fit, Oceanside, CA (VIP)

- Conor Kelly, Evolution Fitness, Willowdale, ON Canada (Gold Plus)

- Mike Stare, Spectrum Fitness Consulting, Beverly, MA (Gold Plus)

- Shana Ross, Shana Ross Fitness, Houston, TX (Platinum)

- Shannon Willits, Pilates Sarasota, Sarasota, FL (Gold Plus)

To give you an idea just how well our members are doing right now (we’re NOT making this stuff up) I thought I’d share one of the videos sent in for the contest.

They are ALL good… but this one is really good.

Shana’s a brand new studio owner, and only 1 year in business she’s just exploded. And she’s built a serious foundation to springboard her into ‘doubling’ that success for year 2.

Will have some great pictures (and video) from the weekend I’m sure. And will post with results on the contest next week.

Have a great day,

Sean

Ya know if you flip on the news at all right now, all you hear the media talking about is how bad the economy is and how the current financial crisis is ‘the end of the world’.

But I’m proud to say that we have MANY top members who are NOT participating in a recession of any kind.

In fact, just the opposite.

Many are THRIVING right now, because they’re listening to what we teach and taking ACTION.

Just yesterday, I got a very interesting message on my voicemail from a Texas studio owner.

If you want to hear what it says, and get a little inspiration today, then click on the link below to give it a listen:

It may be just the ‘uplift’ you need to hear today to go kick a** and take names!

I want you to carefully read the following two stories and then I have a question for you…

Story #1:

“I would have many time wasting consultations with highly unqualified clients and then I would almost beg them to start training with me.  In the process of doing all those wasted intro sessions, I would consider selling a package of 12 sessions a victory.

I am now closing 7 out of 10 consultations for either silver package (36 sessions) or gold package (75 sessions). I am improving each time I run the auto- closer system and know that I will soon close on a platinum package (100 sessions) or even better.”

-Craig Poindexter, West LA Personal Training, Los Angeles CA

Story #2:

“The largest sum I had ever earned was $1000.

I took the Auto-Closer course recently. I have only presented to one new client since then, but it was a whole new story.  The client bought a 24 session package (a first for me - my clients have always booked only one month at a time) and the client agreed to pay $2670 for the package.That’s the largest amount I have ever billed a client.  I was thrilled. It felt so professional.  He committed to 24 sessions. No more month to month booking. I am looking forward to presenting my personal training packages to many more clients.”

-Bonnie Reed, Fitness Matters, Bloomfield NJ

Okay, now here’s my question: If they can do it, what one reason is there that you can’t?

After you register to attend the F.R.E.E. Fitness Sales Explosion Webinar (taking place TOMORROW) by clicking the link below…

www.FitnessSalesExplosion.com

…Here’ll be your answer: Nothing, Nada, Zip, Zilch!

In fact the only reason they can do it (double their package sales and close at 70%) and you can’t right now is because they know everything I am going to share with you at the Webinar, so get your skate’s on and RSVP already by clicking the link below now:

www.FitnessSalesExplosion.com

You’re a business owner, and I don’t need to tell you that sales is where the money’s at so register for the F.R.E.E. Fitness Sales Explosion Webinar today, and I’ll speak to you tomorrow.

To Your Success,
Sean Greeley

P.S. Hundreds of fit-pro’s have registered already and unless you do to, you’re going to get left in their dust. Seriously, you’ll see for yourself what all the fuss is about Tomorrow, Thursday 11th at 2pm EST, but you must register first. If you want more information, before you do, click the link below:

www.FitnessSalesExplosion.com

One of the fastest and most effective ways to learn how to do something new, is by watching someone else doing it first…

…One of the reasons I progressed as fast and as far as I did as a professional Wakeboarder is because I spent a lot of time practicing with my peers.

By closely watching each other perform, we quickly picked up how to do new tricks, flips and maneuvers.

And when one of us splatted against the hard water surface at 25mph; well, we quickly learned what NOT to
do too. And that is why we were the best in the world.

In September 11th at 2:00pm EST you are going to learn how to sell fitness in the same way, because I am going to be doing FIVE case studies of your fit-pro and studio owner peers who have already used the sales strategies I am going to train you to use.

They are…

1. Craig Poindexter - Closing 300% more sessions than he’d planned for!

2. Alan Condon  - Shared the secrets with a colleague who went from a 0% to 90% closing rate!

3. Nathan Nowak - STILL closing at 100% and hiring new trainers to manage the overflow!

4. Steve Lynch - Sold his largest package ever at $7,200 for 144 sessions!

5. Bonnie Reed - Just closed 24 sessions at over $100 a go!

…During the F.R.E.E. webinar I will take you step-by-step through their success so you will understand how
to relate what I teach you into REAL WORLD RESULTS.

And when you put this new know how to use, you can add $1,000 - $3,000 to your monthly income - easy.

But you have to be registered to attend first! R.S.V.P. immediately by clicking the link below now:

Tor Your Success,
Sean Greeley

P.S. If those five fitness professionals are achieving these results, imagine what you’re going to be capable
of after the F.R.E.E. webinar!

Register today at the website below:

Today I want to briefly go over the 3rd and final sales strategy we’ll be covering in the F.R.E.E. Fitnes Sales Explosion Webinar this month…

…How to problem build.

If you want full and LIVE training on this strategy from myself and Eric, register for the webinar now simply by clicking on the link below:

http://www.FitnessSalesExplosion.com

Okay, so problem building works like this - the bigger the health/fitness problem your prospect faces the more eager they’ll be to buy your services.

For example, if a doctor has told someone they have 30 days to live unless they get into an exercise program and lose weight right now… well that someone has a big and obvious problem - death - and so, you shouldn’t have to struggle too hard closing them on a package.

Because, you’re selling the CURE.

But, what about someone who is slightly overweight or slightly unfit - they have a problem sure, but it’s not a HUGE and URGENT problem - at least not to them and not right now. So at this point they’re not fully, 100% commited to getting in shape, and of course this makes them a hard close.

Because, you’re selling PREVENTION. And getting someone into a training program for 3hrs a week to prevent poor health in later life just doesn’t turn most people on, because they never think they’ll get to the point where they NEED it like Mr. 30 Days To Live does.

And so, when you’re closing this kind of prospect (99% of the time), it’s your job as a sales superstar to bring any potential problems right into the front of their mind - as if the problems have already developed, and they need to cure them fast!

Of course health problems aren’t the only motivator for your prospects, but they’re one of the most common. I’ll be going over this in detail and more at the F.R.E.E. Fitness Sales Explosion Webinar so be sure and register today by clicking the link below:

http://www.FitnessSalesExplosion.com

If you’re not closing at least 9 out of 10 prospects then your current sales system is flawed; when you attend the F.R.E.E. webinar we’ll fix that and add $1,000 - $3,000 extra to your monthly income in the process.
