Brian Eliel Testimonial

In march of 2006 I met Eric Lofholm for the first time at the close seminar. Since I had been in sales for many years it was not the first training that I had been to, I was hoping to make a change in my business but was not optimistic. After this event I immediately was able to apply the principles that I learned and I began to make a shift in my sales career.

Let me back up a moment and share that I had hoped to have success but it seemed out of my grasp. Almost everyone that I knew said they felt I should be successful but success had seemed to allude me.

Within 7 days of attending the close I had an interview and was told I was the best candidate they had ever interviewed. I knew then that the shift I was looking for had begun as I had began to apply what I learned from Eric at the close seminar.

The one thing that I noticed that was different from Eric is his ability to connect with people and bring out their gifts. At the Close seminar I heard the success of his students and how they went from barely making it to blowing past the goals they had set for themselves. This is what I really wanted and needed but my belief that it could happen to me was low.

In the following days I began to ponder Eric’s offer of entering into a mentoring relationship with him. The program I was thinking of was the platinum protégé program. He had a great lifelong training program called the protégé program but my concern was I didn’t want to purchase a system that I may or may not use. In Platinum Protégé I was going to be held accountable to my goals. I knew the program worked, but the subconscious fear was, “ would I fail in a proven system.” Or my self talk said to myself “ will you be the factor that keeps yourself in failure.” Not only was I fearful of self sabotage but money was a major issue.

Dr. Donald Moine says that “ sales is the hardest low paying job, and sales is the easiest high paying job. My income was very low and with my mortgages I actually had more going out than I had coming in. There was no way I could afford to pay for this program. But here is what I did, rather than keep myself where I was I made a phone call to Eric. I explained my financial situation and I told him my story of what I couldn’t afford. Eric shared he could clearly understand my situation but he said this is what I have learned. “ When you are in a stressful financial situation focus on money making activities, not on your money problems. You get what you focus on!”

So I took a leap of faith and entered the Platinum Protégé Program. As a member of this program I had access to the protégé program as well. So I was able to access this content anywhere I chose by bringing it on my IPOD. But here is what happened. Within 60 days of making the decision. I was able to double my income, not once but consistently every month.

What happened next is even more exciting, I double my income again and have made that my new baseline. My current goal to achieve this year is to get my income to 10 times what it was before I joined the platinum protégé. It looks as if I am on my way to fultill that goal.

The other thing that has dramatically changed is my belief and confidence in my abilities. I now know I will always perform at this level or higher. I have dramatically increased the results that I have dealing with clients and prospects. When I pick up the phone it is light and I can’t wait to have a powerful conversation. My abilities to lead and train others have been transformed. I have been acknowledged by professional sales people and have had two articles written about my sales results.

So if you were to ask me what you ought to do, the question you should ask yourself is not how much it costs to be in the program, but how much it is costing each and every month to not get the training and the accountability you need. If you are fed up with how things are in your life right now then take action to bring yourself to where you always have wanted to be.
