If you have an email database all I need you to do is send out an email and introduce one of my free seminars, free conference calls, free webinars, or free video training programs to your email list. There is no charge to the person you introduce to me. After they opt in to my website you will be paid anytime they purchase one of my four Protégé Programs.

Here is how simple it is. You send an email introducing a free sales training. People from your list opt in to my list. I do all the selling. You get paid on the lifetime of the client on my 4 Protégé Programs.

Sample Sales Plan 1

2008 YEARLY MARKETING PLAN

Initial Statement: As you would say Eric, “Success takes as long as it takes”. This has been a year for me of input, examining, absorbing new ideas, failing at some of them, succeeding at others but realizing things do not have to be perfect, they just need to begin and they will be perfected along the way. This year will be the year of really moving out of my comfort zone. It should be fun & frustrating and take me to new places in my journey.

What I did well: I have formed a partnership with a few links:
1. Taken on a significant role in _______ membership cmts.
This will allow me to be of service to my members and to build strong partnerships with other insurance professionals.
2. Joined with an attorney who is a co-chair of the San Diego
_____ Attorneys. This will allow me to provide long term care to clients using their referrals. Also provide opportunities for speaking to their clients in groups.
3. Joined in partnership with an excellent financial planner.
That will provide an additional source of business & service.
4. Joined a LeTip Referral Group – weekly meetings to
Develop mutual business among 20 professionals.
5. Becoming involved in January in a tax seminar to market
To CPA’s & other attorneys.

Biggest Challenge: Time Management
1. I will design my schedule into blocks of time for morning
Calls: a. leads b. schedule talks in small business 1 Hr./day
2. Schedule Protégé Calls each month, be on Thursday calls
3. Schedule 2 – 1 week vacations per year
4. Schedule time for exercise (this is my hardest thing !)
5. Schedule meditation time
6. Write daily goals each evening for next day.

Success’s: Development of Partnering
So far this year my business has grown 99.4% ahead of last years. I attribute this to being involved in P.Protege Program. Although I have not been able to attend normal calls, my mind has changed and my focus has sharpened. I expect things to work out and do not look for problems, but see the way around each challenge. I avoid negativity like the plague. I am taking the partnering to a higher level (as mentioned above).

Yearly Production Goal

Total submitted business goal: $300,000 for year with majority of business coming from referral business. Hopefully leads will be generated from public speaking opportunities.

Areas Needing Support:

Finding groups to speak in front of regarding need of long term care.

How I lost 9 pounds in the last 5 weeks

I thought it would be fun to share some things with you about my personal life so you can get to know me a little bit better.
I live in a little town called Rocklin which is located in California near Sacramento. I moved here with my wife Jarris, son Brandon, and daughter Sarah about 6 years ago. The reason we moved here was so we could raise our children around our family.

I never had a reason to lose weight in my life until about 12 months ago. I am 6' 2''. When I was in high school I weighted 130. That is super duper thin. My body would not put weight on. I was very self-conscious about my weight in high school. As I got older I started filling out.

About 12 months ago I started noticing that my suit pants were getting tight. My weight reached its all time high in September of this year. I weighted 209. I set a goal to get to 200 lbs. by December 31 of this year. I had never set a goal to lose weight before. It was amazing how quickly I got results once I set the goal.

Once I set the goal I created my plan. My plan was to exercise 50x during the 4th quarter for 30 minutes or more. I also made some decisions about my food choices. I stopped eating crummy fast food. I stopped putting sugar in my coffee and tea. I started eating 5 smaller meals per day. I reduced my sodas by 95% and increased my water by 400%.
I used to have a story about my health. My story was I don't have time to take care of myself because I am too busy with my business. I let go of that story and started making time for my health.

I weighted in today at 200.4 lbs. This is 2 months ahead of my goal.

On a side note I recently picked up the new book about Steve Jobs. It is a really good book. If you like business books I recommend it.

On another side note try not to be discouraged about the economy. I am a small business owner. I know how tough the economy is right now. I also know there are dozens of things you can do to grow your business even in this economy. One simple thing you can do is focus on where your best opportunities are right now.

I believe in you!

You have greatness inside of you!

Thanks for reading.

Success,

Eric Lofholm
