I have been checking out a guy called Rich Schefren that is causing quite a stir at the moment in the Internet Marketing circles with his new coaching programme... http://www.thisblogwillpaymymortgage.com/2008/09/25/guided-profit-system/ My question is, would you join up to a coaching programme where you didn't meet the person face to face??
I think, as long as there was a guarantee that I couldn't lose money (ie, money back guarantee if you don't make profit), then yeah, I would feel fine doing it. As long as there was a lot of support and my mentor was online enough, I'd be perfectly happy doing it. After all, you're still learning and you're still making money...
Thats very interesting. I asked the same question through another network that isn't so internet savvy and they were really critical of this method.. hmm
I'm actually a part of Russell Brunson's $500 a month Protege Coaching Program and it is worth it. It's not face to face, all through group calls, webinars, and 1on1 sessions. There is no doubt Rich Schefren's program is worth it. You just have to ask yourself if your business is ready for that level of commitment.
I'd have no problem in principle with it not being face-to-face. Forex traders do this all the time - offer online coaching courses. So do online poker teachers. As long as it's a "real person" with a phone number and some sort of online references I wouldn't hesitate if they're teaching skills I want to acquire.
Hey Meanna Blog Yeah i agree. If it's something i really wanted to learn, i'd buy their services It's better than running around site after site researching/reading every single post about a particular topic. Done that before. Takes alot of time to conduct the research for any given niche. Why do that when you could just talk with a Guru that has a good base on whatever topic your looking for. Saves you alot of time and energy frenzy
Hmmm, very nicely written sales patter but I'm always sceptical of these things. He says that this guy can turn your business around - so you have to have a viable business in the first place. Some businesses will NEVER make it so what happens then? I'd like to have some money that I could just throw away on one of these schemes just to see how they operate...
I do personal coaching and haven't met any clients face to face. The process of selling them on my services and establishing credibility is not an easy one, however.
