How to go from 0 to 100 million ... or billion

FROM THE DESK OF CHET HOLMES

Dear Friend,

This program is like a system within the system . What you're going to find is that the program has a logical
and linear flow to it, but what you'll also find is that everything in the program cross-references everything
else making the program also modular.

So if you are an out-of-control CEO who'd like to learn how to manage your time and organization like a
billionaire, than go to Session 5. Add Session 4 to Session 5 and now you'll be leading and managing like the
best run companies in the world.

If you need to hire top producers, go to Session 2 and Session 6. If you need your trade shows, advertising
and marketing to be stronger, go to Session 7. But the most potent of ALL the sessions is Session 1. It
changes everything about how you market and sell, giving some clients a 16,000% boost in results from the
same efforts they were already making. For real, you'll hear the stories yourself from some of the attendees at
the event where this product was created.

The ideal way to view this is the way it was made, starting at Session 1 and going through it in order. But if
you have a problem area you need solved right way, and we have training for it within these sessions, know
that each session does stand alone. Each is strong, but together, they are remarkable.

You are in for a profound learning experience. And if you use these sessions regularly and continuously, they
will eventually help you achieve mastery. And that's when no competitor can stand against you. Very few
companies are true masters. So when you become the master of the skills in these sessions, no competitor
will be able to stand against you.

To your success,

Chet Holmes

Dear Tom :

I have to admit I was quite impressed with all that we learned when you gave your "Executive Briefing on the
current crisis in Employee Benefits costs. Most CEO's don't dnll down on these issues until there are serious
problems. Your insights armed us with the exact insight we need in order to be proactive and start creating
cost reductions now, before it's too late. That ounce of prevention in this case is surely worth the 45 minutes
any CEO might spend. I can't imagine trying to keep up with all the changes occurring in this environment
without the education that you provide.

You've done a lot of work so that others don't have to. I think your decision to underwrite the cost of
this study and to show really valuable, realistic and down-to-earth suggestions that we can act upon
immediately, is great contribution and I'd really recommend the experience to others. Most of us are too
busy working IN the business to stop and work ON the business. You forced us to work ON cost reduction in
Employee Benefits with significant results from the time spent. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Re: puzzle.d about how to NOT double your health benefit costs over the next five years? (That's exactly

Dear (use first name),


Ce
The cost of employee benefits will virtually double over the next five years (guaranteed) if you do not take
immediate steps to reverse that trend. If you really want to decrease costs, you need innovation beyond
simply trying to get insurance companies to give you lower bids . Did you know that hundreds of carriers

1. Be honest, so we can discover If you'll be happy h re o
2. Let me understand what shap d you.

PROBE
Seek deep understanding about their psyche and background .

1. If they feel uncomfortable answering questions about their background and themselves, they lack
empathy. Top producers live to bond with others

2. Find if someone in their background gave them confidence (Usually their mother) . Ask ... "How would
your mother describe you?"

3. If you were 5 years old and told your mother you want to be an actor, what would your mother/father
say to you?

D. Don't do it.

E. Do it, but train for a job

F. Do it you'll be successful at whatever you do!!!!!

What is relevant is the par nt's belief in the child's ability to accomplish hiS or her goals. Top producers were
found to often have parents that were wildly encouraging to them.

LESSONS I LEARNED THE HARD WAY:


• Chet's first business model: Sell my services direct to clients. Results: High fees, TONS of travel.

• Then I built a mass of products that could be sold by others. Results: No more travel, huge staff, highly
volatile monthly numbers.
• Then I built a subscription-based business. Clients signing up for monthly help. Results: Highly stable
business that was very stable. In fact, I sold it.

• How stable is your business? Is there a model that would make it more stable? Is there some kind of
ongoing service you could give that would guarantee you income each month?

• Or is there some club-like offer you could make that would breed remarkable loyalty?
