Answers to Frequently Asked Questions:
1. Show me how to set-up an effective way of working and living that helps me feel less overwhelmed and more successful?
This is THE critical result reported by those who have graduated from Get Your Year In Gear – and one that is so important to me. Beginning with Lesson #1, you will begin to see the “light at the end of the tunnel” and how to prevent those nasty train wrecks that often happen between work life and home life. At the end of 8 weeks, you will feel, not only laser focused on your personal success factors, but light and relaxed as you go about your daily life. Sound good? I think so, too:)
2. Teach me how to “get out of my own way”?
As a business coach and strategist, I have the advantage of seeing you and your business from 10,000 feet. Using this unique perspective, I can see where you are creating stumbling blocks for yourself. Part of your one-on-one access to me will be devoted to uncovering –and then removing- these unnecessary stressors.
3. Show me how to be the kind of Leader that will inspire my team members to want my position?
Absolutely. I want you to work and live in a way that is so relaxed and successful that everyone on your team will want to be YOU! Are you stressed out and overwhelmed at team meetings? Does your team see you eating, sleeping, breathing your business? If the answer is “Yes”, this coaching intensive could be for you.
4. Show me how to create a crystal clear vision of where I want to be AND a step-by-step strategy for getting there?
Yes. The very foundation of this class is based on creating a vision for your entire life (not just your business). I will walk you through the exact process of creating a “no-fail” step-by-step strategy that will easily (almost effortlessly) keep you on track every day.
5. Teach me how to uncover the hidden landmines that are sabotaging my success?
Yes! In Class #3, you will uncover those roadblocks that you may not even know are standing between you and the success you desire. As one of my clients said, “I didn’t even know I was supposed to be aware of that. Now that I am, I can get on top of it and get it out of my way!”
6. Show me how to stand out in a loud, crowded marketplace?
You can count on it. In the second half of the intensive, we concentrate on developing a way of talking about your business – and conducting your business activities – that is unique to you, your business and your life. This will make it SO much easier to stand out from the crowd – because you won’t sound like anyone else in it!
7. Give me ways to track my success and my results so that my team is inspired?
This part gets me excited! When your team watches the business and personal success that you will begin to experience, they won’t be able to help themselves. Your tracking and the results you personally deliver will show them that the success they want is absolutely possible.
As an extra bonus, you will learn **exactly** how to create team “buy-in” for each and every team goal you set. This one strategy alone can change to course of your business.
8. Help me structure my time so that I know when I am working and when I am not working (and able to enjoy the other parts of my life)?
As a work-at-home mom, I know how easy it is to fall into the trap of working (or least thinking about work!) all the time. That leads to stress, overwhelm, and a family that is not very happy about my business.
In Lessons #4 and #5, you will put together your unique Success Calendar that will help you structure your time around the things that are important to you and give you the concentration, focus, and free time that are so critical to success.
And don’t worry – this is not another “time management” system. My husband will tell you that I balk at anything that smacks of that! You will learn a simple technique that changed the way I work – and the way hundreds of my clients’ work – while still experiencing a successful business and a successful life.
9. Give me the tools I need to work “smarter” rather than “harder”?
Oh yeah! Each week, you will build your “tool box” until it is full of smart strategies. Direct selling is a business designed to give you full time income on part time hours IF your know how to leverage your time. You will learn what to say “Yes” to and what to say “No” to – so that you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that your work time is taking you toward your personal goals.
10. Tell me how to find those prospects that I easily and naturally connect with?
One of my favorites – yes! I know that technically “everyone is a prospect” for your business. BUT, there are people who are “a natural fit” both for you and what you have to offer. You will learn how to identify these people and position yourself and your products in a way that is so meaningful to them that they will literally seek you out.
11. Give me one-on-one access to Sarah?
Absolutely. I know that many of my course participants have challenges that they are uncomfortable mentioning in front of a group. Because these challenges can make or break your success, I want to give you one on one access to me (and still keep this course affordable!). So, each week, you will be able to personally “check-in” with me online and get my personal coaching via email. One-on-one coaching with me starts at $150 per hour, so this benefit alone is worth the price of the course!
You can also add a private laser coaching session to your Get Your Year In Gear package for only $75 - that is half my usual rate. You must purchase your laser coaching session with your Get Your Year In Gear Seat to receive this special pricing.
12. Can Get Your Year In Gear really help ME?
I believe that it can. If you are a committed direct selling leader with at least six month experience and 5 or more active team members, you will experience a significant return on your investment.
That said, I can teach you all the strategies and techniques that I know and it will have absolutely NO impact on your business if you do nothing with it. You will learn brand new, cutting edge tactics and I will ask you to put them into practice while we are in class. If you are closed to new ways of thinking or believe that you already know everything you need to know, then you really can’t gain much from this class.
13. Show me how to effectively meet, follow-up with, book and close prospects?
Yes! Lesson #7 is completely devoted to giving you and very easy tool to track your prospects from initial meeting through closing the sale. You will learn the critical elements of each stage of your relationship, and your “must-do’s” if you want to create a continuous flow of income producing business from these relationships.
14. Teach me exactly what to say to pull my ideal prospects toward me?
In Lesson #6, you will create your own compelling way of talking about your business. The method I will teach you is unique to your own business and way of working (no cookie-cutter scripts here!). This makes it so much easier to attract your ideal prospective customers, clients and team members toward you and DRAMATICALLY stand out from your competition.
15. Teach me how to position myself as an “expert” in my community?
In today’s competitive marketplace, consumers are looking for experts to solve their problems. In this course I will teach you specific techniques that you can implement immediately to be THE recognized expert in your area.
I have a client who used just one of my strategies and is now a regular columnist in her local paper – getting her name and her business in front of 9,000 prospects a week!
16. Teach me how to actually reach the goals I set?
You will learn how to break down your goals into bite-sized chunks that will take you step-by-step toward your goal. You will always know exactly where you are in relation to where you want to be. You will also know the specific “next step” you must take. This technique yields almost instant, dramatic results for my clients.
17. Show me how to win the support I need from my family?
The support of your family is THE most critical success factor I can think of. If you are working (or thinking and talking about work) all the time and not showing a tangible profit in your business, your family will not be as excited about your business as you want and need them to be.
My GYYIG graduates tell me that by putting the structures and strategies into place, they have created dramatic shifts in the level of support their families (including spouses) are willing to give them.
18. Teach me how to know exactly what I should be working on to yield the most bang for the buck?
Successful business people seem to have the innate ability to know exactly what they should be working on at all times (and, more importantly, what they should NOT be working on). I’ve seen your inboxes and the number of business ideas that come at you each and everyday, so I know how difficult this can be for you:)
As we develop your unique and personal business goals and strategies, you will also develop the skills and the confidence you need to make smart choices for your focus and energy. Imagine walking into your office each day and knowing EXACTLY what you need to work on and accomplish to move toward your goals. This is what will happen for you as a part of this business-shifting course.
19. What if I can’t make every call?
That is ok. I’ve actually designed this course around that fact that you probably won’t be able to make every call. Each call is recorded and made available to you within 24 hours at our private class website. I would like you to make as many live calls as possible, of course – because that is the fastest and easiest way to get your questions answered.
20. Do I have to do homework every week?
You can skip the weekly homework if you want to, but ….your business will not shift as quickly as it could. You will need to set aside about an hour a week to complete your assignments. This is the fastest way I know to begin implementing what you learn AND reaping the benefits of your newfound success strategies.
21. Instantly change my business and put me at the top of the compensation plan in record time?
This is not a “get rich quick” course. So often in this industry I watch people jump from idea to idea on the promise that it will shoot you to the top in record time. They are on the hunt for that “magic pill”. If that is what you are looking for, this course is not for you.
Instead, I teach a method of successful working and living. If you follow the process and methods that I teach you – along with my support and coaching along the way – you will reach your desired success, and probably faster than you thought.
22. What if I don’t want to invest in myself and my business?
You know that saying, “you have to invest money to make money?” – it is absolutely true. I would go one step further and say “You have to wisely invest money to make money.” Many of my clients tell me that they’ve thrown hundreds of dollars away on classes and products that promised so much and delivered so little. They go on to say that Get Your Year In Gear is refreshingly different and that they start seeing the benefits of applying what they learn almost immediately.
If you get one new long-term customer or client or one active team member from participating in GYYIG, the course will pay for itself. (And expect you to AT LEAST add that much to your business!)
The investment in GYYIG is a small investment in your future success, don’t you think?
