Here is the deal.</strong></p>
<p>Right now people need sales skills really bad because of the economy. Millions of people are hurting right now and one great solution is to teach them how to improve their sales skills so they can make more money. </p>
<p>I have been teaching people how to make more sales for over 12 years. I have four Protégé Programs that teach people step-by-step how to make more sales. Three of the Protégé Programs are virtual training programs so I can train people anywhere in the world. I had a client sign up today in Japan. </p>
<p>Here is where you come in. 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. </p>
<p>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.<br />
<strong><br />

Once I receive your email I will have Rick Cooper, my joint venture manager, contact you back to finalize the details.</p>

<h3><a href="http://salesprotegeblog.blogspot.com/2008/12/sample-sales-plan-1.html">Sample Sales Plan 1</a></h3>
<p>2008 YEARLY MARKETING PLAN</p>
<p>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 &amp; frustrating and take me to new places in my journey.</p>
<p>What I did well:  I have formed a partnership with a few links:<br />
1. Taken on a significant role in _______ membership cmts.<br />
This will allow me to be of service to my members and to build strong partnerships with other insurance professionals.<br />
2. Joined with an attorney who is a co-chair of the San Diego<br />
_____  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.<br />
3. Joined in partnership with an excellent financial planner.<br />
That will provide an additional source of business &amp; service.<br />
4. Joined a LeTip Referral Group – weekly meetings to<br />
Develop mutual business among 20 professionals.<br />
5. Becoming involved in January in a tax seminar to market<br />
To CPA’s &amp; other attorneys.</p>
<p>Biggest Challenge:  Time Management<br />
1. I will design my schedule into blocks of time for morning<br />
Calls:  a. leads  b. schedule talks in small business 1 Hr./day<br />
2. Schedule Protégé Calls each month, be on Thursday calls<br />
3. Schedule 2 – 1 week vacations per year<br />
4. Schedule time for exercise (this is my hardest thing !)<br />
5. Schedule meditation time<br />
6. Write daily goals each evening for next day.</p>
<p>Success’s:  Development of Partnering<br />
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).</p>
<p>Yearly Production Goal</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Areas Needing Support:</p>
<p>Finding groups to speak in front of regarding need of long term care.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- Start Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop Automatic --><!-- End Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop Automatic -->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.<br />
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.</p>
<p>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.  </p>
<p>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.  </p>
<p>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%.<br />
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.</p>
<p>I weighted in today at 200.4 lbs.  This is 2 months ahead of my goal.  </p>
<p>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.  </p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>I believe in you!  </p>
<p>You have greatness inside of you!</p>
<p>Thanks for reading.  </p>
<p>Success,</p>
<p>Eric Lofholm

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- Start Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop Automatic --><!-- End Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop Automatic -->Have you ever been in a situation where you absolutely had to create revenue now?  I have.  Back in the spring of 2003 I was in one of those situations.  Ironically it came at a time when I was achieving my greatest business success of my life up to that point.  I had a staff of 20 people working for me.  We were regularly getting over 500 people to attend our seminars…and then it all came crashing down.</p>
<p>I lost 19 of my 20 staff within 30 days.  They either quit or I let them go.  Because I lost my entire sales staff I was not able to generate enough money to cover the high overhead that I had.  I closed my office down with 24 months left on a lease that I had to personally guarantee.</p>
<p>When I would wake up each day I felt like pulling the covers back over my head and wishing it would all go away.  Have you ever been in a place like that before?  One day an idea came to me that turned everything around.  It was the exact idea that I needed at that moment.  The idea was to focus on revenue producing activities.</p>
<p>What I realized was fear, panic, and worry was not going to make my situation any better.  Worrying was not going to manifest money or sales.  When the thought hit my mind “to focus on revenue producing activities” my next steps became clear.</p>
<p>My revenue producing activities were:</p>
<p>-Generate leads</p>
<p>-Set appointments</p>
<p>-Close sales</p>
<p>I started to focus on the activities that would produce revenue…and guest what?  The money started coming in.  It took me 18 months to turn my situation around and rebuild my company.  What are your top 5 revenue producing activities?  Have you been spending enough time on these activities?  October 1 is in a few days.  That is the first day of the 4th quarter.  Make a decision today to focus on revenue producing activities in October.</p>
<p>I want to invite you to join me for a webinar my top 5 revenue producing ideas that I am doing on Friday, October 7 at 10 am pacific.</p>

1. Video of the Week<br />
*************************************************************</p>
<p>Have you ever been in a situation where you absolutely had to<br />
create revenue now? I have. Back in the spring of 2003 I was in<br />
one of those situations. Ironically it came at a time when I was<br />
achieving my greatest business success of my life up to that point.<br />
I had a staff of 20 people working for me. We were regularly<br />
getting over 500 people to attend our seminars...and then it all<br />
came crashing down.</p>
<p>I lost 19 of my 20 staff within 30 days. They either quit or<br />
I let them go. Because I lost my entire sales staff I was not<br />
able to generate enough money to cover the high overhead that<br />
I had. I closed my office down with 24 months left on a lease<br />
that I had to personally guarantee.</p>
<p>When I would wake up each day I felt like pulling the covers<br />
back over my head and wishing it would all go away. Have you<br />
ever been in a place like that before? One day an idea came<br />
to me that turned everything around. It was the exact idea that<br />
I needed at that moment. The idea was...</p>

4. Star of the Week<br />
*************************************************************</p>
<p>The Star of the Week is Rosie Bank. Rosie is a Diamond Protege<br />
Mastermind client who started working with Eric in October 2009.<br />
When she first started working with Eric she was successful in<br />
her business, but wanted to take her business to the next level.</p>
<p>Her specialty is helping people live more successfully in their<br />
bodies through better nutrition and lifestyle adjustments.</p>
<p>Rosie focused on getting her scripts done and this propelled her<br />
to greater success in her business. Rosie said, "Working with Eric<br />
is among the most significant things I have ever done as an entrepreneur!"</p>
<p>What she learned from Eric enabled her to be much more confident<br />
in building and marketing her business and serving her clients.</p>
<p>Great job Rosie!</p>
<p>One of the skills she learned from Eric that made a difference is<br />
Train the trainer. She describes it as taking everything she has<br />
learned and deliberately teaching her team in network marketing<br />
the most effective strategies.</p>
<p>Another tool that has been a great help is the Person of Influence<br />
or POI Strategy.  This powerful technique provides the opportunity<br />
to work with someone who has a network of people. It creates leverage<br />
through influence.</p>
<p>Rosie is an Author, Speaker and a Coach. She has also built a successful<br />
team with USANA Health Sciences.</p>

4. Star of the Week<br />
*************************************************************</p>
<p>Our Star of the Week is Dr. Will Fishkin. Dr. Fishkin joined the<br />
Gold Protege Program in September 2010. One of his goals in<br />
joining the program was to develop more Joint Venture<br />
relationships.</p>
<p>Will created an information product called the 6 Success Steps<br />
Secrets program and was looking for new ways to offer his program<br />
to help people grow their business through referrals.</p>
<p>Dr. Fishkin has benefited from learning Eric's Person of Influence<br />
(POI) Strategy and is using this technique to create massive leverage<br />
in his business.</p>
<p>One recent success Dr. Fishkin has experienced since being in the<br />
program came during a dinner with another Chiropractor who has a<br />
huge Chiropractic Marketing and Consulting Business. They agreed<br />
to partner together to produce a version 2.0 of his information<br />
product to reach a specific niche market. This will provide a whole<br />
new audience for the program and will produce thousands of dollars<br />
in additional revenue.</p>
<p>Dr. William Fishkin runs the San Francisco Chapter of the Glazer Kennedy<br />
Insider's Circle. For more than 19 years Dr. Fishkin has built a Family<br />
Chiropractic Center in the Mission District of San Francisco.</p>
<p>Dr. Fishkin has a free report on "4 Mindset Shifts to Unleash the<br />
Referral Potential in Your Business".</p>

4. Star of the Week<br />
*************************************************************</p>
<p>This week's Star of the Week is Rhonda Sher. Rhonda is a professional speaker<br />
who teaches people how to leverage the power of business networking to grow<br />
their business. For many years she didn't understand why her sales were inconsistent.<br />
Rhonda joined the Platinum Protege program in 2006. After working with Eric Lofholm<br />
and taking his script writing class and other programs, she experienced a<br />
breakthrough. At first, she was resistant to sales scripting. And finally,<br />
after over a year of being in the program, she began consistently earning<br />
the kind of money she expected. In fact, she enough money in less than one year<br />
to buy her husband a car for $48,000 cash. Rhonda said, "Eric's classes in scripting,<br />
the sales mountain and his platiunum protégé program are the best investment<br />
I have ever made in sales training. I have spent thousands of dollars with others<br />
on sales training and nobody comes close to what Eric Loftholm teaches.<br />
Eric Loftholm rocks!"</p>
