“How Comprehensive Is The TopLine Business Solutions Consultants Training Program?”

September 30, 2009

Nearly every day someone asks me or my staff questions like, “How comprehensive is the TopLine program?”, “What do I get for the time I invest and the money I spend to learn your system?”, and ”How can I learn more about what I’m going to get from my TopLine training?”

Good questions. Smart questions. And questions I wish more people would ask.6-FigureBanner

If they did… if more people would take the time and put the effort into an in depth due diligence process, they would find just how powerful the TopLine System is, how much other people just like them are earning, how easy it is, and how much in-demand the services are that they can offer their market.

You can see exactly what we cover
in the TopLine training here.

The simple fact is, we continue to add new content on a regular basis. What started as a 2 1/2 day program that ran from 9:00 am until 5:00 pm, is now a 4-day program that begins at 7:00 in the morning and often doesn’t end until 6:00, 7:00, or even sometimes 8:00 or 9:00 in the evening.

More Than 1,500 People Had Questions About Consulting… Here Are The Answers

September 29, 2009

Some time back, we sent an email to 3,746 people who had visited one of our TopLine websites to learn more about how to start, run and profit from their own Marketing and Business Development Consulting practice.Questions Answered

More than 1,500 people responded to a four-question survey. A special teleconference was held to discuss the questions they had and make sure all they were answered adequately.

The teleconference was recorded and posted to a special website. You can access it here.

There are two versions… the full 2 hour, 12 minute version, and another shorter, 16 minute, 26 second version where I discuss the highlights and the most frequently asked questions.

The TopLine Business Solutions Marketing and Business Development Consulting program works. It’s been proven over and over with nearly 1,000 consultants in 31 countries. The vast majority of these people had no sales, marketing or business experience. Many just wanted to find a way to escape the rat race of their corporate or 9 to 5 jobs. But in the process, they’ve gone on to earn very substantial, in many cases, high 6-figure incomes in their first year or less.

“A Heartfelt Thank You!

September 25, 2009

“A Heartfelt Thank You!”… that was the Subject line of an email that I just received from one of our TopLine Business Solutions Marketing and Business Development Consultants this afternoon.Dan Kempka

Here’s what the body of his message said…

Hi Martin,

I hope this email finds you well.  I simply wanted to send a thank you note because your Business Consultant training has been a great help to me since we met in Phoenix last December.  In fact, I just set up a long-term contract for $10,000 per month, plus ownership equity, with a company that has been impressed with the methodology for growth I’ve applied to some short-term projects with them.  They would like to hire me full-time as a partner and COO, but I’m going to stay as a consultant in order to continue with my mission to build Painless Profits, which is becoming a profitable Social Media and Search Engine Optimization company.

The training you gave will forever be invaluable to me!

Thanks,

Dan

How To Outwit A Den of Thieves

September 25, 2009

So many people these days are trying to run “Internet Businesses.” That is, they’re putting their products and/or services on a website, trying to drive traffic to the site, and working from home with the idea that they can keep expenses to a minimum, replace the income they derive from their jobs, and create a lifestyle that will give them a better lifestyle than they had “working for the man.”

But beware, the Internet is largely a “Den of Thieves”. Here’s what I mean. Let’s say you come up with a great idea based on your personal experience and/or research and develop an incredible product or service hoping to capitalize on and profit from your work. Then you build a website, spend countless dollars on generating traffic, make a killer compelling offer, and wait for the orders to come in. But for some reason either nothing or very little happens.

So you do a little more research and find that someone has seen what you’ve done, SRDSknocked you off, and is offering an “enhanced” version of your product or service for less money than you’re charging. Worse yet, they’ve found a way to “steal” or somehow divert the traffic that either has gone to your site previously, or that should be going there.

In many cases, this “thief” has no real-world experience or background in your subject. What they have in their corner is the ability to, 1) find someone who can rewrite your program (elance, scriptlance, etc., are good places to start); 2) write a better sales letter than you have (again, elance, scriptlance, or perhaps a copywriting course they’ve bought); and 3) bundle some other products with their offer that boost the “value” of their offer. I put “value” in quotes, because oftentimes, the add-on products are nothing more than products that may or may not be related, but they get affiliate commissions for promoting.

In other words, if you put your product or service on the Internet, be prepared to be ripped off sooner or later. If you go into this market that’s the game you play. As they say, “It comes with the territory.”

A Brilliant Marketing Concept Poorly Executed

September 23, 2009

Earlier this year I was sent a very intriguing envelope in the mail. As I opened it, I found something that I thought was a good idea… in fact, a brilliant idea… but it was very poorly executed.Sang

I put a short video presentation together that describes this marketing strategy, what it was intended to do, why it missed the mark, how it should have been presented, and how you can use it in your own marketing efforts.

If you’re involved in marketing any kind of products or services, or if you’re interested in learning how our TopLine Business Solutions Consultants use these kinds of marketing strategies to attract the favorable attention of their prospects, then click here to watch the video.

And, if you’d like to know more about the TopLine Business Solutions Marketing and Business Development training program, please visit www.toplinebusinesssolutions.com and download your Info Kit. It will give you some great background about TopLine Business Solutions – who we are and what we do – and help you determine if a career in business consulting is right for you.

“How ONE Simple ‘Cut and Paste’ Idea Landed Me Two Paying Clients in My First 30 Days as a TopLine Business Development Consultant”

September 22, 2009

An exclusive interview with Bill Froehlich…Bill Froehlich

“How ONE Simple ‘Cut and Paste’ Idea Landed Me Two Paying Clients in My First 30 Days as a TopLine Business Development Consultant”

… and I’ve got a couple more ready to
meet with me next week!

Bill Froehlich is an amazing guy!

As he was reading “Gravitational Marketing,” a book written by Jimmy Vee, Travis Miller he came across this quote…

“Martin Howey, a man we like to call a friend, is a genius. He is responsible for helping thousands of people realize the full potential of their skills and talents by becoming business consultants. His consultants help small business owners take their companies to the next level and create uncommon success. He is the trainer’s trainer. His wisdom and experience is unparalleled. Martin is the author of several books including “How to Start, Run, and Profit from Your Own 7-Figure Consulting Practice.”

Bill was intrigued with what he read, so he looked my name up online, saw the TopLine program, and because he couldn’t attend our live training, bought the materials, had them shipped to him and worked with me via conference call and webinar.

More Than “Just a Box ‘o Stuff”

When Bill’s box arrived in the mail he was a little overwhelmed. That’s understandable… thirty-five pounds of manuals… nearly 2,500 pages crammed into 8 huge 3-ring binders. And then there were the marathon (sometimes 4-hour) teleconferences we had going through each of the manuals and dissecting each section until he “got it” and felt comfortable enough to manage that section on his own.

How TopLine Business Solutions Consultants Earn Mid 6-Figure Incomes

September 21, 2009

This morning I ran across a video that I recorded just one year ago, right after conducting one of our high-level mastermind sessions with our top consultants. HiltonRight after our next training workshop (next week), I’ll be holding another of these sessions, and if it’s anything like what has happened in the past, the information that will come out if it will be outstanding.

These sessions are limited to consultants earning a minimum of $350,000 per year and are by invitation only. One of the qualifications is that they HAVE to share their very best, proven strategies and systems… what’s actually working for them NOW, and not what they think is a good idea and MIGHT work. In addition to the “What” (what they’re doing), they have to share the “How” (how they’re implementing it, the “Why” (why it’s working for them), the “Results” (what it’s producing for them in income, additional business, referrals, etc.), and the “ROI” (what it costs to implement, how long it takes, and what the net result or bottom line profit is).

It Just Keeps Getting Better!

September 19, 2009

Several years ago, a partner and I started a consulting organization in the U.K. and within just six and a half months it grew to a Chartered Accountant’s Valuation of $12.4 Million. Despite the fact that times were good and the economic climate was not as tough then as is is now, the business just took off.

I left that business behind and concentrated my efforts on building the TopLine Business Solutions U.S. based organization. Once again, things took off and we grew very rapidly. And now, in some of the toughest economic times that many of have ever experienced, we’re continuing to grow at an unprecedented pace, and are now up to nearly 1,000 consultants operating in 31 countries around the world.

So how did we do it? Better yet, how do we continue to do it?

The answer is simple. We just deliver WAY more than we promise, dedicate our entire team to the success of those who trust their time and hard-earned money to us, and continue to improve our program and give more than is expected. In other words, we never stop refining and improving our program and we do all in our power to ensure the success of our consultants.

Some time ago, I shot a couple of videos where I explain some of what we do, and what the people who attend our programs have to say. I thought you might like to see what we’re all about, what others who have actually experienced our program say, and see if you have any questions about how you, too, can experience the same kinds of results.

Each video is short, and each delivers a slightly different message. Take a look and let me know your thoughts.

 

 

After you’ve had a look, let me know your thoughts and comments. I’m always interested in hearing what you have to say. And if you’d like more information, please check out our special Info Kit at www.TopLineBusinessSolutions.com.

I’ve Got Talent, I’ve Got Ability, I Know I Can Do Better!

September 18, 2009

Have you ever thought to yourself…

“I’ve Got Talent, I’ve Got Ability, I Know I Could Do A
Lot Better Than I’m Doing Now… But I Just Don’t
Know How To Go About It?”

If you have, you’re certainly not alone. Fact is, most people in responsible business positions are overworked, under appreciated and under paid for the value they provide their employers. What’s more, the majority of them are either not aware of the severity, or they’re okay with it.

The “value” of an employee to a company is measured against the “risk” of having him or her onboard, and is generally measured in four different areas: Salary, Benefits, Assigned Budget, and Expectation of Goals.

Value vs. Risk Nothing3

Let’s say your employer pays you $100,000 a year (Salary) and you have the “normal” 25 percent of salary ($25,000) benefits package (Benefits) that jobs in that range provide. And let’s assume that you manage a budget of $300,000 (Assigned Budget) that pays for support staff, vendors, and overhead, and you’re responsible for half a million in sales (Expectation of Goals).

 Your “risk” to the company, then, would be the total of those amounts, or $925,000. In other words, just to keep you around, you would need to generate $925,000 in sales. Of course, if you’re in a non revenue generating position, the numbers would work out a little differently, and your “value” may be determined by other factors such as efficiency, cost savings, etc.

A Darned Good Overview of the TopLine Business Solutions Program

September 17, 2009

Some time ago, I met a young copywriter named Jason Leister. We talked on the phone a few times and he showed me some of the work he’d done for others. It was ery impressive, so I hired him to do some work for me. You can see it here.

Leister Letter2

The guy drove me nuts! He asked for files, videos, audios, manuals, books, reports, names of people who had come through our training so he could talk with them… it seemed like a never ending process, and many times I thought how much easier it would be for me to just do the work myself.

But I did everything he asked me to do, and when it was over and he delivered his final draft, it blew me away. Not only was the guy detail-driven, he was good… VERY good.
