Let me share my reasons for all the excitement.  I have seen the product develop from the mustard seed of an idea to the actual completed product.  Ben, the creator of both the Power Palette and Duratat ink, was the product developer.  He had the original “light bulb” idea, implemented crude prototypes, and initially introduced it to his friends.  Their reaction was enthusiastic, to say the least.

Ben’s next step at getting feedback for his product was to go to a big, national show.  Let me say he was a little intimidated by the reception his “baby” received.  QVC and Home Shopping Network wanted it on their networks.  A major sporting goods retailer as well as two major department stores wanted to sell it in their stores.  Since Ben had been putting this together in the basement of his home, he was not prepared to deal with the prospect of going national yet.

Having a limited budget to work with, Ben’s next step was to order more equipment, assemble more products and sell his “baby” at fairs and festivals because he was starting late in the season and many shows had already been filled.  He did get into shows that had lower attendance or were not as popular with seasoned vendors.  His first show was a one day event at a very small resort community on Lake Michigan.  I went to the show and had a hard time finding it.  I saw no signage advertising the show, and I had to ask three different people where the show was before I finally found it.  As I walked the show I was disheartened by the attendance, few customers were there.  I found Ben at the end of the last row.  I walked up and asked him how he was doing.  His response “I sold out and am now taking orders.”  Wow!  I was impressed.

His next show was a well advertised, three day event at another community on Lake Michigan.  The attendance at this show was much better than the first.  The results for Ben were incredible.  Although he had almost four times as much product to sell at this show, by noon of the second day he had completely sold out.

I am not allowed to tell you the specifics of the product but I hope the stories I have related to you have gotten you as excited about Ben’s product as I am.  You can get a piece of the action by signing up for the Master Program.  I can say that the product has nothing to do with tats.  Are you curious? Then sign up for the Master Program where you will learn all about it.

1. Many of our candidates are concerned that the upcoming Master Program is just “too good to be true.”
2. Our candidates want a better idea of what type of training will be offered in the Master Program.

So, I decided to offer a small sample of the training you will enjoy in the Master Program.

P.S.  Wolfe said, “This is the best video ever…” (Wolfe is our video master/director.)

P.P.S.  If you want to get on the Master notification list: Go here.

I than sent a survey to all those who signed up.  The response blew me away.  I was extremely pleased and surprised at the number of participants.

Here’s what I’ve learned:

• The majority of our MVPs are not willing to do private events for a mere $50 an hour.  This is good news and bad news:

  It’s bad news (for me) because my original plan to book private events for Masters won’t work.  But, that’s okay as I’ve got another plan brewing that I’ll share tomorrow with all of you on the list.

  (If you’re not on the list and want to get on it, go here.)

  It’s good news (for MVPs) because apparently most MVPs don’t need to accept an offer to work for $50 per hour.  This makes one think that there time is worth more than just $50 per hour.  That’s great news!

• An overwhelming majority (almost all) of respondents would willingly do a video for us if asked to do so.  I’ll be able to use this fact to create a new marketing plan to help our Masters earn more money – see tomorrow’s email to learn the details.  You will only receive the email if you’re on the notification list.

• The single most important thing that nearly all respondents want from the Master Program is help in marketing – getting new customers.  Secondarily, they want personal coaching and consultation and are willing to pay for it.

• There were some interesting suggestions, requests and ideas proffered that are definitely worth pursuing.  I’ll send a new survey out tomorrow to follow up on these, to see if others wants us to address the new issues raised in the last survey.

Clarification:

The Master Program is intended to help those who share my vision for the tat industry (see my article: The Future of Tats.) and want to accelerate the growth of their tat business.

I don’t think that I know the best way to achieve the above vision or your goal of personal business growth.  I know that I’m committed to finding the best way. 

I think together we can move closer to realizing our industry and individual potential.  This is why I’m surveying you.  This is why I’m grateful to those of you who’ve participated in the survey.

I am certain that together we can prosper.  I know that I can make a valuable contribution in two areas: marketing and leadership.
I look forward to continuing our dialogue and the launch of the Master Program on November 1.

Kirk

P.S.  If you’re on the Master notification list, you’ll learn tomorrow how I intend to bring new business to you.  Sign up here to get on the list.

P.P.S.  If you’re on the list, you’ll also learn of the interesting issues raised by MVPs in response to the last survey – when you receive my new survey.

Well, that’s exactly what I’m going to do for you except I’ll be putting tens of thousands of dollars in your pocket.

Why would I do that?

Simple!

If I can prove that I can put tens of thousands of dollars in the pockets of our MVPs, I can charge more for our Power Systems and membership programs.

A lot more!

If I can double, triple or quadruple your income in ’09 and if I can get your video testimony as proof that I did it, do you think people will stand in line to get into our program?

You can bet you’re a*s they will.

I’m tired of scr*wing around with this tat business.  It’s time to get serious.

I’m changing the rules of the game.  I want to rock the tat industry, shake things up and prove that tats are big business.  And, I’m gonna do it with or without you.

If you’re a dreamer, a procrastinator, a wimp or a whiner, this is not for you.

If you’re tired of being average and want to start earning real money… if you’re hungry and willing to work hard… if you’re coachable… if you’re willing to learn, grow and do whatever it takes to legally and ethically build a million dollar business, this is for you.

Here’s what I got.

On November 1 I’ll be launching the Masters Program.  It ain’t free, but it’s an amazing program that’s worth 100 times what I’ll be charging you.  What’s a million dollar business worth?

I’ll absolutely, positively guarantee results every step of the way, every month, or you pay nothing, zilch, nada… zero.  It’s all about results, baby.

I get nothing if I don’t deliver.

I’m changing the rules.  Anyone who‘s an MVP can apply for the Masters Program.  Let me say that again.  Anyone who’s an MVP can apply for the Masters Program.  Anyone who’s an MVP… Got it?

If you want to own a million dollar tat operation, this is for you.

Here’s what I’ll do for you.

• I’ll teach you to be an effective owner.
• I’ll book private events for you.
• I’ll personally coach and consult with you.
• I’ll begin to put thousands of dollars of cash in your pocket on November 1 – just 45 days from now.
• I’ll put more cash in your pocket each month thereafter.
• I’ll personally sign the checks to pay you to do private events or you don’t pay a penny – you have my unconditional guarantee.

Here’s my promise: You’re income will increase immediately.

Here’s why I’m offering this to you.

If I can help you, one thousand of you, grow, own and operate a million dollar business, I’ll own a billion dollar business.

Here’s what I want you to do next.

Sign up for the Master notification list now.  I’ll be sending out surveys for you to complete.  It’s imperative that I gather information from you now so you can start doing private events and making thousands of dollars in November.

Sign up here.

If you’re not currently an MVP, go here to become one so you can get on the Master notification list.

I’ll be sending additional information weekly between now and the launch date, November 1.  You’ll learn all the details of the Master program prior to launch.

P.S.  If you’re ready to become a millionaire, I’m ready to show you how to do it.  I guarantee results each step of the way.
