Accelerating Clients Results
How helping your clients create breakthrough results will transform your business.

Robert Middleton interviews Patrick Summar



Are you earning as much as you could as a coach or consultant?

My guess is probably not (we'd all like to earn more).

Of course there are many solutions to this. Do better marketing and attract more clients. That's important, of course. Another is to raise your fees and price your services by value instead of time. Again, a very good strategy.

But most coaches and consultants miss the most important strategy of all to earn more money and build a successful practice:

Help your clients create breakthrough results.

If you do that, all your marketing will be easier (and in many cases you won't even have to do marketing!) and you will be able to raise your fees with little resistance.

Are you really getting the absolute best results with your clients?

That's a confronting question. I'm sure you do your best, but ask yourself if some of the statements below sound familiar to you.

• You're not as confident as you'd like about producing results with your clients. You know you have the skills, but you know you could do more.

• Clients are not working with you for as long as you'd like. You know if you worked with them longer (and in more depth), you'd get better results.

• You'd like to raise your fees, but you're not sure your clients would be willing to pay (unless you can help them produce better results).

• You don't get the word-of-mouth you'd like. Sure, you get referrals, but not enough.

• Your case studies and testimonials are good but they are not nearly as persuasive as you'd like.

• You have a nagging feeling that something is missing in your business but you're not sure what it is.

What's missing is very simple: You are not helping your clients consistently produce breakthrough results. You are only helping them produce average to good results. And the thing is, that's not enough. But something exciting happens when you help your clients produce results at a whole new level:

 

Your confidence as a coach or consultant will soar. As you see your clients get bigger and better results, you'll feel confident that you can really charge what you're worth.

Clients won't want to stop working with you. They'll be getting such powerful results that it would be crazy to stop.

Charging higher fees won't be an issue because your work will pay for itself many times over. Your clients will directly tie their results to the work you've done together.

You'll get a lot more word-of-mouth business. And when referrals call you they will be practically sold. You'll have clients actively urging their friends and associates to work with you.

Your case studies and testimonials will be powerful and persuasive because they'll talk about very specific progress they've made from working with you.

You'll be fulfilled and excited about your business because there will be no question that your work makes a difference.

If this describes you to a T, you don't need this program. But if you think you still have some way to go, please keep reading. I honestly feel this is the most important Audio Program I've offered so far, because it gets to the heart of your business - delivering powerful results for your clients.

How would your business change if all your clients consistently got breakthrough results? Really think about that for a minute. Business is all about results, no matter what clients you're working with. Wouldn't this transform your business (as well as theirs)?


What are Breakthrough Results, Anyway?

Breakthrough results are dramatic results that are not predictable. For your clients it may mean generating a whole new level of income, completing a project that wasn't going anywhere or turning around a company. In most cases it means accelerating results, that is, producing more results in less time.

And if your work is about helping clients with less tangible results, having a breakthrough might be a dramatic improvement in a relationship, completing a community project or just getting crystal-clear on a career direction.

Everyone wants breakthrough results, but very few people know how to help their clients get them - not just once in a awhile, but over and over again.

One such person is Patrick Summar. Patrick is a life and business coach and consultant who lives in Redondo Beach, California. He's an extraordinarily successful life and business coach and consultant who consistently produces breakthrough results with his clients.

Patrick happens to be a good friend of mine; I've known him for 17 years. I helped Patrick when he was starting his business. He's gone a very long way since then.

You probably haven't heard of Patrick yet, he keeps a pretty low profile. Patrick doesn't aspire to be another business superstar, he's more interested in the quality and balance of his life. But make no mistake, he is consummately qualified to speak on this topic as I've outline below:


Some things you should know about Patrick Summar:

• Has been coaching and consulting of over 15 years. His approaches and methods are hard-won, not a flash in the pan.

• Works with clients who pay him up to $5,000 per month to help them produce breakthrough results in their business.

• Not unusual that he'll work with clients for three years or more enabling them to get even better results.

• He consistently helps his clients expand their businesses while also helping them maintain a better life balance.

• Does virtually no marketing, no writing or speaking, has no web site, and relies primarily (90%) on referrals from happy clients.

• Is talented at creating systems and approaches that add value and get breakthrough results for his clients (in addition to being easy for you to follow and implement).

• Is an ICF (International Coaches Federation) Certified Coach


Who This Program is for

This program is for coaches and consultants who want to help their clients consistently produce results at a much higher level. It doesn't matter who your clients are. They may be business owners, managers in corporations, artists, professionals or authors. As long as your clients are looking for bigger results, this program will give you ideas and tools you can start applying immediately to your practice. Specifically, this program is for:

Experienced coaches and consultants who want to take their business to a whole new level.

Intermediate coaches and consultants who want to establish powerful approaches for getting better results.

Beginning coaches and consultants who want to get their practice off to a fast start, avoiding costly mistakes.


How This Program is Different

Most programs consist of a collection of tips and strategies. That's fine, but if you are going to help your clients produce breakthrough results consistently, you need more than tips; you need a system.

And Patrick has that system. He's been using it successfully with his clients for several years to help them produce breakthrough results. And as a result, his own success and client billings have also increased dramatically.

If you're a coach or consultant, you probably already use some of the principles in Patrick's system. But it's unlikely that you use them as consistently and as brilliantly as Patrick. In this program you'll learn exactly how he structures client engagements to produce results most coaches and consultants only dream of.


What you'll learn in this Audio Program:

Patrick's Business Model

One of the most valuable parts of the interview is the story of how Patrick grew his business. He describes the various stages in his journey, his turning points and how he realized his goal of having a business that supported his lifestyle. You'll gain several insights into what has made him such a successful coach.

Point 1 - A Focus on Results, Not Process

The first way to get breakthrough results with clients is to help the client get very clear on what results they want in the first place. In the interview, Patrick and I explore several approaches to help the client clarify, focus and commit to their goals. It's not as easy as it seems!

Point 2 - The Client is Responsible for Producing Results

If you want to struggle as a coach or consultant, make sure your clients never realize they are responsible for their own results! This will result in dissatisfied, disgruntled clients who complain they are not making progress. In this section of the interview we discuss many ways to make sure your clients accept responsibility to produce results.

Point 3 - Make Sure Your Clients are Working on Something They are Passionate About

Ever work with a client whose heart wasn't into his work? Again, this is a formula for failure. You can't just assume your clients are passionate about what they want. You need to work on this area. You also need to do reality checks on your client's goals. In this section Patrick and I explore in more depth how to make sure you've set up your client to win in the first place.

Point 4 - Create a Plan and Work Your Plan

The heart of any client engagement are the action steps that will move them towards their goals. And the primary work of a coach, and often a consultant, is to keep clients on track, steadily making progress. Here Patrick shares his approaches to keep his clients accountable to doing what they said they'd do.

Point 5 - Working with Limiting Beliefs and Fears

You know clients frequently hit barriers. They get stuck. They get triggered by something and suddenly lose their vision and start to think small. What do you do when that happens? What strategies can you apply to help them get unstuck? Patrick outlines his strategies for getting unstuck - plus we've added a one-hour bonus program that goes into this in much more depth (see below).

Point 6 - Tracking and Measuring Progress

How do you really know a client is making progress? All too often we bury our heads in the sand and "hope the client is doing well." But how can we know? We need to have systems and procedures for determining the actual progress a client has made. Patrick will demonstrate various simple but powerful ways to track progress.

Point 7 - Acknowledge and Celebrate Successes

If your clients wait to celebrate until the big goal has been achieved, they might be waiting a long time! Producing big results doesn't come instantly. But there are benchmarks along the way that can and should be acknowledged and celebrated. Patrick discusses the reasons for and the many ways to celebrate success.

Bonus Program - Getting Unstuck

We felt this area was so important that we recorded an additional one-hour interview and also had it transcribed. In this interview I take Patrick through the "Getting Unstuck Process."

This process is amazingly powerful, yet utterly simple. It's a series of questions that have you look at where the stuckness actually resides and then transforms that stuckness into expansive and workable ways of being and doing.

Bonus Bonus Program - Three Getting Unstuck Interviews

In addition, I did a teleclass recently with several people using the Getting Unstuck Process. In this excerpt, I guide three people though the process. This will help you understand the process better and see it's power to get people unstuck in a very short period of time.

Note about the Getting Unstuck Bonuses. I offered a similar bonus with my Getting Organized Audio Program. Why a second time? This time it is more geared to explaining this process in even more depth so that you can use it with your clients. This process alone can help your clients produce breakthrough results.
