Do you have what it takes to become my next
client?
1. Have you read everything on my web
site (especially the FAQ)
to understand what I offer and what I don't offer?
2. Do you have a vision of where you want to be in 3-5
years? Share it with me so I can help you get there.
3. Have you asked me to do one income-generating activity
at a time rather than several things at once? Focus is
good.
4. Do you understand that having a strategic plan in place makes sense before starting a
project?
5. Have you shared with me your expectation of a
specific
financial return from the
work you and I do together?
6. Do you think big? Do you refuse to work for peanuts or
without a fee?
7. Are you willing to invest in your own future, both in
effort and financially?
8. Do you expect to take on risk? That's the sign of a true
entrepreneur.
9. Do you understand that consultants charge for their time
and advice just as physicians, lawyers, and engineers do?
10. Are you too important to talk to me yourself? Call
me or write to me directly; I place my own calls to you,
too.
11. Do you understand that services and campaigns to position you, build a following or
generate contracts for you will require a fee or
retainer?
12. Are you willing to learn what you need to know to be a
successful authority figure? Invest in my
educational materials which are designed to save you a more
expensive consultation fee.
13. Do you support your own success by not letting lack of
confidence or fear get in your way?
14. Do you pay attention when I give you valuable pointers?
And take notes as I give you ideas you can use, in my
consults?
15. Do you recognize that I will avoid using old marketing
methods that are costly, time-consuming, ineffective; and
that I will employ my own which may at first seem
unconventional?
16. Are you newsworthy, have a track record as a paid
speaker, writer, etc., or willing to pay your dues to
establish yourself?
17. Are you willing to be the star of your own show? If
you're not willing to be visible, any campaign will fail.
18. Do you have a strong desire to earn big money? Do you
refuse to leave money on the table?
19. Do you ask me the right questions? And keep track of
the questions you ask?
20. Do you have realistic expectations of what I should do
for you... while expending effort yourself?
21. Do you have healthy confidence based on prior success
and/or professional competence?
22. Are you well-mannered and conscious of time (time is
money) and able to answer the question:
"What specifically
do you want me to help you do?" ?
23. Are you willing to spend time building your own
business? Entrepreneurs are willing to make sacrifices.
24. Do you believe you are selling professional advice (an
expert), rather than selling products (a retailer)?
25. Do you save money to invest in your future as a
professional? Spending it on toys or ineffective services
is counter-productive to reaching your goals.
26. Will you invest 1% to 10% of your future income to earn
at least $100,000 to $600,000 per annum (in about 2-3
years)?
27. Can you follow the 12 principles that led to the success of people like
Dr. Phil, Martha Stewart, Julia Child, etc., rather than
Internet marketing methods followed by the masses who
sell products?
28. Have you approached me with a realistic, reasonable
budget?
29. Do you recognize that I run a for-profit consulting
practice, not a loan company, charity or non-profit
organization?
30. Will you treat me as a paid consultant, not a
philanthropist, your mom, or your Fairy Godmother?
31. Can you send me emails in plain text format with no
repeating photos in the background?
32. Have you asked me to conduct personal public relations
campaigns I am known for, and not direct selling which will
only sabotage your success and diminish your prestige?
