Hi Folks,Well… What can I say? Mega Training ROCKED! The whole weekend was business and life changing, but the highlights undoubtedly were the presentations from our 5 Member of The Year entrants. Their stories of the changes to their businesses, bank balances and lifestyle were truly moving and inspirational. The quality of entries we had for this competition was so high and I congratulate all of the entrants for the successes they have had. Choosing the five was really tough, but as we saw on the Saturday night, they were truly deserving. Congratulations to Dirk Hansen, from Dirk’s Health in Bondi, Sydney for becoming the 2009 Fit For Profit Member of the Year! The Runner Up was Clinton Thomas from Vitality Health & Fitness in Hamilton, Victoria. Well done Clinton!

Joel Scutt from All Sorts Fitness in Brisbane, Laurie and Nicole Maximilian from Betterlife Health and Wellness, Myaree WA, and Bianca Aiono from Exclusive PT in the Glasshouse Mountains in QLD were the other amazing finalists, and they shared some magnificent results and inspired all of us to do more to help people change their lives forever.

Above is a video from Bianca Aiono which encapsulates the changes that all of the finalists had over the last 12 months.

We will be sharing photo’s and video footage over the next few weeks for those of you who missed out.

Having Sean Greeley and Dick Chilton, our partners in the US, come over was really great as everyone could see how passionate and committed they are to helping us be our very best. Their presentations helped everyone to get a crystal clear plan for taking their business to the next level and beyond.

Lynn from Your MWR, Inc. shared her extensive knowledge of web mastery and explained how to dominate the online market in your community. Because she has been a Personal Trainer she showed people the benefits of technology and made it easy to understand.

The feedback we had from the event was so positive that we are already planning our 2010 Mega Training now. Thanks to all of you who attended and helped to make this our best event ever!

I will post again later on this week so keep your eyes open.

Keep Chargin’

Andre and I have been on a non-stop work schedule the past few weeks preparing for our MEGA TRAINING event taking place at the end of this month in Melbourne. Read full details on speakers and schedule for Mega Training at:

This year as part of our Mega Training Event, we’ve launched our first annual “FFP Member of the Year” contest, where our top members send in packages for review. Each shares examples and stories of how much they’re grown and why they should be chosen for the award. Andre and I have the grueling task of sifting through these packages to choose 5 finalists to present LIVE on stage Saturday night at the event.

Our conference attendees will vote and choose the FFP Member of the Year.

And I’ll tell you what, the competition is tough! We’ve received 22 letters of intent to enter. They have until mid-month to submit their packages. Picking 5 finalists, and then a winner is going to be even tougher!

To Your Success,

Ric Isaac

Hi Folks,

I don’t know about you but there have been times in my professional development when I have made a decision which became a business changing event for me. I remember going to my first Copy Writing seminar scared that I was going to waste my money and leave their disappointed, as it turned out it was one of the best things I ever did for my business, not only in the content but in the networking and business relationships I developed.

This is the opportunity YOU have with our Mega Training Workshop Weekend at the Rydges Hotel in Melbourne on the 29th and 30th of August. This WILL be one of those events that you will look back at as a turning point in your professional and business career as we have Sean Greeley and Eric Ruth coming over from the US to speak about how they have helped hundreds of fitness businesses explode their income and, more importantly, helped thousands of people with their health and fitness goals.

NO…you will leave this weekend with a clear action plan for YOUR business filled out with the tools and skills you need to really take it to the next level and launch into the summer with a crystal clear vision and focus. This will be hands on folks , the whole weekend will be filled with organizing, planning and implementing the key strategies to make 2009/2010 your best business year ever!

Folks we have released a few more seats and have 23 left for this event and we cannot add anymore in so call us now as I would hate for you to miss out. The food alone will be worth the price and the plans and tools you take away will make you thousands of dollars and enable you to help so many people achieve Health and Happiness.

If you haven’t read the Magic Bullet Special Report yet, this won’t make much sense to you, so grab the report here and check out the 3-Phase Fitness Marketing Plan and the 9 fitness marketing tools I show you in report.

I-AM RAINMAKER FAQ

Q: Great report and looks like a great tool …can you give us a comparison report with other tools/resources that are similar. I am trying to compare what I think you are going to offer with the 2 products/services that are currently offered in the industry?

A: Great question. The answer is that there is NOTHING else available anywhere in the world that compares to I-AM RAINMAKER.

Here’s a list of some of the things that make Rainmaker different and better than anything else out there:

- Online AND offline integration - multi-channel, fully automated marketing. Those other services you’re referring to are online only (very limiting - average email open rate is less than 40% for the BEST marketers regardless of niche…closer to 15-20% for most folks).

If you’re only communicating online, your results will be limited.

- Automated postcard mailings - Rainmaker does all the work for you. At this stage we are negotiating with Australian Printing Companies to automate all mailings.. eventually you won’t don’t have to print and mail a single postcard, and they will all go out automatically on time, every time.

You can use postcard mailings for local area target farming incorporating the PURL postcard I showed in the Report. This is, quite simply, the STRONGEST lead gen marketing you can do. The personalization in the card headline, salutation and best of all…the actual landing page URL (address) i.e. www.SusanSmith.YourlandingPage.com is absolutely irrestible. Who’s NOT going to punch in a URL with their own name in it?

- Retail Postcard Display System - You can do part of this system yourself if you have some killer reports to offer. What you can’t do without Rainmaker is the automated, integrated online and offline follow-up and conversion sequences. And that’s where the rubber meets the road - that’s how leads are converted to consultations.

- Multiple Landing Pages Automatically Generated - to my knowledge, no other service offers this even in a generic way, and definitely not with PURLs like Rainmaker does.

- Multiple Relationship Marketing Integrated Campaigns - online and offline sequenced campaigns for referrals, reactivation, birthday greetings, testimonial farming (and we’ll add more as we move forward).

- IPhone Integration - This is a very cool tool that I haven’t even talked about yet. Basically, you’ll be able to see exactly who is on your landing pages completing your forms in REAL time using a special IPhone app, and be able to call them up on the spot, or send them a personal “thank you” email instantly.

- Database Management - you get a full-blown database with this system (not just some lame email storage and look-up). All your client and prospect management can be conducted through this. You can attach client records and record all client communication automatically right in their file. This is a ONE-STOP-SHOP. Nothing else is required to manage your ENTIRE client, prospect and SOI database. Which is really amazing.

- And then there’s two VERY BIG other surprise features I can’t tell you about right now. But suffice to say…they will blow your mind…and have NEVER, EVER been incorporated into a service like this. More on this to come later.

That’s a small list of stuff (there’s more) that makes Rainmaker vastly superior to any other service even remotely similar.

Q: Will it be Area-Exclusive?

A: No. Rainmaker won’t be area exclusive, but we’re only allowing 100 folks in (that’s absolutely true - no gimmicks or shenanigans - just 100), so chances of someone in your immediate area competing with you are slim to none.

All our VIPs will get all the content from Rainmaker to use in your Infusion system completely free. We always take care of our VIPs

Q: When is the I-AM Rainmaker available and how much will it cost?

A: It will be launched at our Mega Training Conference in Melbourne, 29th to 30th August. Sean Greeley and Eric Ruth from Net Profit Explosion in the US will be coming out to Australia exclusively for this special event. Make sure you book NOW to reserve your space, as only 100 copies of I-AM Rainmaker will be available, and we expect these to go at Mega Training!

The cost? So cheap, we’re practically giving it away. You’ll be really amazed and pleasantly surprised by this feature. Don’t worry about cost, it’s affordable for anyone, I promise.

Look, you guys spoke, and we listened. You said…“I don’t want more fitness marketing lessons…I want your killer fitness marketing tools integrated into a simple-to-use, pushbutton-easy, done-for-me, fully automated marketing machine…THAT GETS AND KEEPS CLIENTS FOR ME!”

And now, finally, it’s here!

Q: Is this complicated technology?

A: Great question. And something I was personally concerned about. I’m severely technologically challenged, as I’ve mentioned many times before. And I know how frustrating it can be to dig into technology…and get nowhere…because it’s too damn hard.

Rainmaker couldn’t be more simple. Very straightforward. (If I can use it, anyone can.)

When you first start, you’ll import all your existing data (from excel, ACT, or whatever autoresponder service you use - like Aweber). This is simple, and we walk you through it, or we can do it for you.

Once you’re set up, then everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, from that point forward is fully automated. And we’ll have you set up in a jiffy.

Q: What if I’m using aweber, constant contact or some other system?

A: Well.. now you can step up to the big time. As I mentioned already, it’s simple to import all your data, or we’ll import it for you.

Q: Is my database secure?

A: ULTRA SECURE. Nobody can get into your database without your permission.

Every two weeks, we’ll load a new HTML newsletter (with all content done for you) into the main system. You can set your Rainmaker to broadcast that newsletter automatically for you, or you can go into the newsletter and add, delete, adjust whatever you want.

All the other campaigns and tools are accessible in the same way.

Q: Is everything customisable?

A: Everything is customisable by you. You can make any adjustments you want, including adding your own header and/or other graphics to your newsletters, adjusting autoresponders and campaigns, etc. You have as much control as you want.

If you’ve got any other questions, just email us and we’ll answer them promptly!

Look forward to having you at the *launch* of the I-AM Rainkmaker System:

Hi Folks,

I wanted to share some vital information with you about how to retain clients and get them to refer to you for life! We are all passionate trainers and I know you do a great job when you are with your clients but what happens when you are not there? Are they always talking about you and your service to their friends and family? Are they thrilled with your service, sessions and results?

Now don’t panic, 99% of trainers around the world cannot answer all of these questions or even some of them. We are so focused on getting the maximum results for our clients that sometimes we forget to stop and ask what they like and don’t like and how could we improve our service. The quickest and easiest way to do this is to survey them……..often!

Now back in the day I used to create surveys and post them/hand them to my clients and ask for their honest feedback. I would be lucky to get 1 out of 20 back and that was usually from the client who I knew loved everything about the training and it didn’t help me to provide a better service.

Here is the KEY: You need to finish your session 5 minutes early and give them time to fill out the form then and there. Always give them the ability to refer friends and family to you on the same form (VIP’s you have these done for you) so it turns into a client referral exercise as well.

Here’s the clincher! If they ask for something new/different and it fits into your training philosophy GET IT and IMPLEMENT IT! You will show them enormous respect if you take action on their recommendations and you can make special mention of it in your next monthly newsletter (recognise and reward always). Most clients think that these surveys are useless because nothing ever happens when they are honest so you can prove to them you have their best interests at heart and that you are prepared to change.

Get out there and find out what else your clients want, they will thank you with their wallets and with their referrals, go for it!

Cheers

Ric

Hi Folks,

I have some people in my life who I respect immensely and they all have something in common….they never stop learning!

I know myself that my continuing education is vital for me to go forward both in business and in life. In fact I invest thousands of dollars every year and it is money well spent as my PT business and Fit For Profit keep getting better and better. I am always impressed by people who are open to trying new things and new ways of doing those things especially when it means that more and more people benefit.

That is why I urge you to come along to our FFP Mega Training Conference on the 29th and 30th of August at the Rydges Hotel in Melbourne. We will be sharing the secrets of PT Marketing, Business and Staff Management and giving you the real Fitness Business Blueprint to explode your income and help even more people achieve their health and fitness goals.
