Today I’m talking with my friend Jordan Gill, who is joining us to discuss pivoting. Where you start today is not necessarily where you will be a year from now or 3 years in the future. The reality is that there is always going to be a change.

“You’re not selling out because you are changing something, you are up-leveling every single time.” – Natalie Gingrich

VIP Offer

A four figure offering that lasts between 3-8 hours leading your clients through a transformation process
Can serve as a qualifying offer, which is a way to work with a client and see if you like working with them. Then you are in a better position to decide if you want to work with them on a long(er) term basis
The Strategic Mapping™ model is a great example of a VIP day offer

The Benefits of the VIP Offer

It allows you to take control back over your calendar
It has natural boundaries that you don’t have to continually remind your client of
You get paid up front for VIP Days
You get an extra ounce of expertise and authority
The client doesn’t have to manage an extra employee

“[The VIP day offer] is going to have the natural boundaries that you get to set in order to be successful.”

Done In A Day™ Virtual Conference
