Default Re: How the HECK did Maria Gudelis generate $50,000 her FIRST WEEK in Offline Consulting?!?

Maria,
i love the WSO, way OverDeliver, however next time, i would recommend using a downloading platform thats not a pain in the Butt. I hated going to some free trial offer, download to my computer, then jump through a ton of hoops. Imho just a suggestion, its eating into one resource i dont have much of "Time" The offer inself, was worth $99 for anyone little lone 5 bucks, so no bagging there, just a pain in the rear for downloads, and this is the first WSO download i have had to jump through hoops for, but i admit worth it.

Regards,
Robert Nelson

P.S - Congrats on crushing out 50k offline, it really is a Goldmine

Hey Robert, thanks for the input - honored to have you buy my WSO!

Their isn't a 'free trial ' before you get to the download - it was a sign up to my mailing list so I can send out notices of the 'unannounced' bonuses - the Offline Mastery Calls- dates and times, videos such as "how to post a great craigslist ad for finding outside B2B reps" etc.

However if perceived that way - will relook at changing the sign up to the actual download page.

Thanks for the value confirmation - I will RAP enable this so everyone can sell and make $$ on it from a higher price point!!!

Johnny - ditto to what James graciously advised!

Autoresponder - yes you want to control that in your account as you benefit then from managing their contact database and communications by charging a monthly fee.

Hosting - you host and include in your monthly fee

Adwords - I'd sit down with them or over the phone - get them (walk them thru how to do it) to set up an adwords account linked to their credit card and then you charge monthly fee for 'maintaining' - that way you protect your own adwords acct. in case they don't pay etc. or their credit card something happens...

Credibility - what other sites you have done - I've only been asked once by an offline prospect out of many that question as indeed you get instant credibility with the mindmap etc. ALso -some of your clients want 'privacy' and they might not want you to tell others their site especially if it is 'competition' or some prospect that is simply 'hacking your brain' to then take to a cheaper webmaster to do after you give them the crown jewels (trust me - it happens and is part of the biz)...and funny the one that did ask that was the one who indeed had a 'free' webmaster (their brother) on the side so she was just wanting free info...

How I'd handle that if I were you are 2 ways:

1. Set yourself up a nice wordpress blog, nice graphic, nice autoresponder you can point them to and say you can make a website for them customized for their needs. You can show many 'themes' to really impress them - of course - you don't need to say those themes are free!

You can even print that out in a presentation type format

2. Say that you work with a team of consultants (your outsourcers! ) that have done hundreds of different websites and that you will customize to their business with 100% satisfaction. (or something like that you can say - you leverage your outsourcers work!

Cheers, Maria

Autoresponder - I don't set up a separate account in their name. I charge them for the Autoresponder service and use my own. I separate their list from my own and other businesses. Why is this important? Because I want to control that account and control that list. That way, they have a reason for an ongoing relationship - I hold the list. If they ever decide to "leave" me, then there is a "buyout" on the list, but I also maintain a copy of it and rights to it. Also, I charge them for any copy that I produce for emails sent to their list. If you wanted to set up a separate Aweber account, that would be fine, but it is not necessary. Also, once you get enough clients with enough large lists, you may wish to either get an Aweber cobranded account or get your own service and host is on your own domain - that's the two directions I'm considering.

Adwords - I'm not sure of the best way to set it up - maybe someone else has an idea. But, I'd probably set it up as a "chargeable" expense similar to the way that Google does it. Get a budget from the business owner for Adwords (daily, monthly, etc.) and charge him that amount at the beginning of the month to "fund" the account. Then, deduct the costs incurred throughout the month from his account assigned to his business and (if you wish) credit any remaining to the next month's adwords budget - thereby either reducing the cost next month, or allowing for a larger budget the next month.

Hosting - Get a reseller account and host the site yourself. I'd be happy to point you to a reseller account that I've used and am very happy with. And, I'm certain you would like the costs to you.

All of my answer comes down to having the control. The more of the process that you control, the happier that the business owner is. If you are charging him ONE fee, he's much happier than a bunch of smaller fees being charged from all these different sources. Believe me when I say, we business owners (been one for over 15 years) like things pretty cut and dry - and as simple as possible. We've got a business to run, we don't want to deal with any more than we have to that does not directly affect the product/service that we provide. That's why someone to do what we're talking about here is so valuable to the business owner. They can turn all this STUFF over to someone else and not have to deal with it.

As for you having their credit card information, if they perceive you as a REAL business person (and they should), then you'll have their credit card number to bill them for their initial fees and their monthly fees - or at least for their monthly fees. I've had a merchant account for several years. One of the neat features on the account is the ability to do automated recurring billing. This allows you to set up the business owner with an automatic charge on a specific day of the month that happens without any intervention on your part. With this, you don't have to even think about anything doing with billing unless your report notes that someone's card is declined or expired. Makes life so much simpler for both you and the business owner. I can also accept debit cards as well as credit cards, checks by fax, phone, and I think email. It's got a ton of neat features. Plus, business owners are impressed that you can accept credit/debit cards - it adds to your credibility.

As for how many other businesses you've helped - call me a little nieve, but if you have shown them the Mind Map, presented yourself in a very professional manner, then, and been personally convicted that you can do what you're proposing to do, then they'll probably not even utter the question - nor will it enter their mind. Keep in mind, right now, regardless of what you know (little or much) you know volumes more than 99% of the business owners out there unless what you do it their business - and those don't need you anyway. Also, anyone that knows more than you and is certain of it is probably not a good prospect anyway. When I worked in the finanacial services arena, I hated dealing with engineers (I can say this because I am one). Engineers know so much about so many things, that they fall into a false sense of security that they KNOW IT ALL - even when they don't. Engineers (and a few other professions) were never good prospects for me. There are going to be niches that will not be good prospects for this - and there will be certain individuals that will think they can do it themselves. And guess what? They can, but they can't run their business and do this - or at least not do both of them well.

Hey, there's your presentation. They're hiring you to do the things that they either don't want to do, don't have the expertise to do, or just don't want to be bothered with doing.

Good luck with this. I'm certain that this, with all the other information I've accumulated in the past few months will be beneficial to this entire process.

Great responses Maria - I learned from your responses some things that I can use.

On the adwords, do you see a problem with my recommendation? If so, I'd love to hear it because I may have set myself up for a problem. I don't see a problem because we would be setting a budget based upon their daily ad budget and they would prepay it, so they couldn't "stiff" me on the costs. The moment their CC doesn't process, I get a report and "halt" their adwords campaign - as well as everything else I'm doing. Of course, I always make sure that there is a "cushion" in the account so they don't "go to zero" at the end of the month and I still get stiffed. Plus, I charge a premium for managing their adwords campaign as well as you suggested.

As I said, I don't see a problem, but that doesn't mean there isn't one - so I'd like to know if you see one so that I can stop this before I get myself into a bad situation that I wish I had not gotten into.

The privacy issue is an excellent idea - that gets the monkey off your back, but also lets the business owner know that you'll not be sharing their uniqueness around with every one of their competitors. I also love the idea of the Wordpress Blog - that's an angle I hadn't considered. I have been building some "example" pages on my own website to demonstrate some of the things we can do. But, I'll probably add the Wordpress idea as well.

Thanks for a great WSO and for your excellent feedback.

Hi James- I don't see a problem with how you do it - just as more clients you get/volume - it may be a little tougher to manage....

thanks for your positive feedback as always!

Thanks Maria.

I was concerned that you saw a problem that I had overlooked. I didn't even think about the management of it once I get more clients. That makes sense. My wife says I overlook this type of thing too much as it is. She says I "give away" too much of my time when I'm doing stuff, but I call it "over delivering" so that I can create "raving fans" for what I do.

No worries James - yes - it is often we give out alot to clients and prospects - there is a fine line between working the relationship and giving value

vs

- offline clients taking too much advantage of your knowledge...

Tis something you have to define yourself where that line is...I once gave a check back to one client after doing initially most of the work because she was demanding more time from me than clients that have paid me 5x as much for services.... a line must be drawn somewhere or else you don't make money, once you make money - you can help, give more value to the charities you decide you want to support....

Review By Very Experienced Offline Marketer

Maria has way way over delivered on this product. The mind map alone, i would have paid a few 100 dollars for just as added incentive. Now i dont want to give all the inside skinny away here, but for those of you wondering WTH, its 5.00 Should be 500.00 and it would be a huge Bargain at that. Maria has done a fantastic Job of layout and anyone with 1/2 a brain should be able to make this work, im just sayin a 15 yr old armed with this information alone could market offline gold to anyone who owns a business and close for large sums of money.

BTW, i want to give Maria a special thanks for being so helpful, offering Kick Ass customer service, and Way Way Over-delivering on this one. She understands the business, and the videos were a great resource. I have already picked up several more gold nuggets to use today.

Maria , thanks again for a Great WSO and Kick Ass Customer service.

Robert Nelson

James and Maria,

Thank you for your detailed answers!

Maria: Is there anything special that has to be done to get a LOCAL listing for a business in Google? Is it just a matter of targeting a local keyword phrase, such as "Detroit Auto Insurance"?

Isn't that the truth. The fatal mistake that new people make (in any business and I've been as guilty as anyone else of this) is that we think that everyone is a good prospect. Please, everyone, don't be shocked by what I'm about to say - in fact, I'll put it in all caps to SHOUT it. THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE/BUSINESSES THAT YOU DO NOT WANT AS YOUR CLIENTS/CUSTOMERS. There - I said it.

As Maria very nicely noted - but I'll be blunt here - you need to try to filter through the time wasters of the world so you don't get caught in their web. These types of people will chew up volumes of your time, drain you of all your knowledge and skills, then aren't satisfied because you don't do EVERYTHING that they expect - even though it may be beyond the scope of your proposal. You MUST have a good description of the scope of your work to help minimize this, but you will still fall into "scope creep" (if that's a valid term) sometimes. Having the written scope not only keeps the customer from expecting too much from you, but can also help keep you on track with what you should be doing. Scope creep has bitten me in this manner - I'm working on something, discover some other things that need to be done (outside of the scope of the project), I work on them, then find myself with my back against the wall on the original project trying to complete it by the agreed upon time. Yeah, it's great I did all that other "stuff", but I haven't delivered on the agreed upon project. What I should have done in these situations (and everyone should do as well), is document these "additional" things that need to be done, complete the project, then present the additional things as a proposed improvement to the project. That way, you get your project completed in the time frame promised, within the scope defined, and the business owner doesn't have a leg to stand on about the original project.

And your comment about the client demanding more of your time than a higher paying client - isn't that the truth. I've found that the less I'm charging, the more people expect of me. That's why NONE of us should discount our prices if at all possible. We don't help anyone by doing that. We don't help ourselves, our families, the business owners we serve, and believe it or not, we don't help our competition. Everyone loses by one competitor lowering his price. All it does is reduce the perceived value to all of our customers. Bottom line, DON'T DO IT!!!

I hope this thought helps someone to not get backed into a corner on a project.

Johnny
Hi Johnny - yes there is some 'special SEO sauce' in getting a LOCAL listing on Google Page 1 organically.

We covered some of that on the great "How to Get Into the Google Spotlight" call with me and guest backlink expert Angela Edwards (that is on the download page as your extra bonuses)

In a real quick nutshell (and please listen to the call to get a better overview)

You want to know what they most likely will search for in that local area and how competitive it is. you can do that by looking at google adwords for search terms (I bought from fellow warrior Jack Duncan - a paid tool that helps me with that but u can use free google adwords to start and upgrade to Jack's tool once with your profits )

So for say a carpet cleaning company - you'd see that 'carpet cleaner' is a search term with google adwords and the results per month,

I then 'geo target' it locally with a local keyword rich domain name

like buy "HendersonCarpetCleaner.com" if that is taken - then "UltimateHendersonCarpetCleaner.com" - you get the drift - include the main keywords in the domain

Then buy the domain, load up WP on it- add your SEO loving plugins, submit rss feeds using Big Mike's rSS feed software, submit url to Google, submit a press release as well - more backlinks and instant indexing to google, even post an 'announcement on Craigslist' with a link back to site..go get Angela Edwards backlink reports to do monthly backlinks (which you charge the cllient for of course with your profit markup )

whew - you just got a $97 SEO product advice in the above paragraph

Cheers, m

Hi Mike - your sales people should be keeping in touch with these hot leads and that is simply how they know or 'double check' to make sure you haven't x'nayed on their commission...

so - that is how - why - because they better keep in touch with the customer as they will get more commissions -I give 10% on the backend sales to the sale reps...

Hope that answered!

Wow, Maria, this WSO is ssshhhhwweeeeet! Today I consider myself both lucky and a thief all in one. I notice this wso started last month, for some reason I only just now noticed it, glad I didn't miss this totally. And for $5 bones it's an absolute steal! This is worth the classic $197.00 internet marketing price tag, although the package is worth even more than that.

I am in the process of moving into this model now and almost ready to start getting clients. This is a huge resource and help. Thanks for the WSO, thanks for the price(you are selling yourself short!), and thanks very much for sharing your knowledge on this business model most of all!

Can this be outsourced(I travel a lot) or in other words would this work for you if

Maria,

Excellent work my friend.

You've done a great job, and anyone wondering whether they should buy or not,
should really look inside themselves... this is a NO-BRAINER and should be bought!

I wish you the very best with this.

Absolutely brilliant question! Yes - my advice is to be a great project manager of the resources, be available or even hire a part time assistant to address any needs you can't attend to if you are travelling (e.g. get friday dot com or `i use a $10/hour assistant now for maximum 10 hours a week to be like a 'vip client services rep' for me)

In fact I'm accessing via a WIFI internet cafe in France the 'net' and not only answering this thread...but checking out the graphic design done by my 'outsourced graphic ' design resource, forwarding the best one to my offline client for her to know "I'm working on her online marketing implementation", I had my wordpress resource install 3 websites for her - and my outsourced video editor fixing some of the lighting in the videos I took of the offline client before I left - so she is aware I'm travelling and yet still a happy client as 3 different resources are working for me for this client.

Now I don't do 100% absentee ism - I have met the client face to face or if one is referred to me who lives in another state/country - I personally talk to them on the phone as well...

hope that answered your questions - cheers, m

Hey there...this is a different one - very detailed explaining of the online marketing blueprint you sell for $500 to clients, then back end sell for further checks...

Maria,

I really REALLY cant believe that you are
selling this stuff for $5...come on! The Information
in this package is worth potentially hundreds upon
thousands of dollars if they take action on what
you have outlaid here.

Only an idiot would not buy this info...

Take Care,

**Wow, Maria. Just....wow.

I am kicking myself in the a$$ for not jumping on this sooner!
Thank you for putting out quality product. I won't even go
into the bonuses.

This is practical information that I can see applying across
several markets and in one area, with my experience and knowledge I
will charge at LEAST $1500 for the money map alone.

This WSO can change peoples' lives from the perspectives
of both the producer AND the consumer. With creative thinking,
the possibilities with the Offline Money Map truly are endless.

If your $5 product is this good, I can't wait to see what else
you have coming down the pike!

Hey Maria,
Great information and an incredible value at many times the price of this WSO.

This stuff works, I know, I use a variation of this every day with great success.
(I'll try this one too and add it to my arsenal)

Cheers Maria,

Hi Maria,

Quick question, just a few moments ago I purchased this blueprint WSO as well as your $27 consulting WSO...

Which would you recommend to read first to get a better understanding before the other?

Hi Dexx!

Definitely go through the Offline Money MIndmap / Blueprint WSO first - then the next one!

Download the Offline Mastery Calls that are a bonus in the Blueprint WSO to your ipod and listen in - very powerful info in those calls! Lots of advice on getting clients too!

Cheers, Maria

As The Excitement Continues...

I just landed my second offline customer today... We've agreed on $1200.00 and $150 per month to maintain his site - I'm outsourcing almost everything!

It's a kitchen and cabinets company. He would like me to create a 7 day video/e-mail series with a landing page and opt-inform... I'm writing the scripts for the videos and he's doing all the filming...

This Offline stuff is pretty good... I think everyone on the WF can do this...

What a great story of how you made $1,500 with the mindmap!!!

I'm jumping up and down for you Jay!!!

The mindmap is powerful - my husband showed the mindmap last week to a group of business owners while he was traveling in Baltimore...now I have a webinar set up with that group for next week!!!

all with one piece of paper!

Maria, I would have happily paid a few grand for what you've provided here. I do offline consulting myself, but the information you share is golden. I actually never considered using a mind map in my presentations/meetings with a client, but I can see how it will certainly help seal the deal. Thanks for making this available.

Maria,

This is phenomenal information. As an offline consultant myself, the whole mind map twist on the initial presentation/building a relationship with a new client is fantastic. Just the "edge" I needed to reach out to even more potential clients. Cheers!

Hey guys I've received I few PM asking me
about more information on how I got my
first couple of sales... Here was the last
PM that I sent out...

I went over the entire $5 WSO 3 FULL times before
going in to my first client... The first time I just listened... The second I had printed out the pdf and made notes on everything... Then I practices
going through the mind map a few times so I new the information... Then I listened to the entire WSO again...

The third time I was picking up key information that I didn't the first 2 time through... I would suggest you do that first...

Then I looked through kijiji and craigslist for my first few customers (don't forget you can also look in your local news paper as well)... All that will be explained in the WSO...

The most difficult part was the preparation... I did not bring my laptop with me and still haven't... That just makes things more difficult... And Takes more time... The most important thing is your knowledge... I was dressed business casual - golf shirt and k akis... I did bring my laptop carring bag (to look the part).

I began the presentation with some facts...

1. 80% of people go to the internet first to find your company and information on the product before they go into(contact) the store/company.

2. In 1998, it was estimated that their was roughly 400 million people using the internet. Today There is roughly 1.5 billion people using the world wide net.

The reason I bring this up is because the internet is the future and if you do not have a strong presents on the net then you business will be left behind.

(Then I went into the mind map)

Phone Pitch...

Me - Hello, may I speak to the owner please
Company - What is this about?
Me - I'm calling about the ad in _______.
Is the onwer there?
Company - One minute please
Owner - Hello
Me - Hello, How are you today?
Owner - Good thanks, who is this...
Me- My name is Jay Sabree and I am a local
E-Commerce Consultant I saw your ad in _____.
And believe that I would be able to help.
Owner - Ok, What experience do you have
Me - I've been marketing on the net for almost 3 years now. I bring a unque method of increasing your business's profits to the table and I would like to setup I meeting with you on either Monday and Tuesday to talk further face to face. Are either one of those day good for you?
Owner - Wednesday would be better
Me - Great! What time on Wednesday?
Owner - 2:00p.m.?
Me - that works for me I'll see you then...

(be sure to confirm address)

Hope that helps...

Good luck

cheers

Jay

If anyone wants a free mind map like what Maria has but much more generic, I have it posted in a thread. I will remove it on Monday morning though: http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...s-tribute.html

I really hope everyone who bought this WSO has gotten started to making some money with Maria's program. I am confident that this will easily bring in $10,000-$20,000/month with just a few hours of work each day (with proper planning of course).
