The Details

Workshop where you will create your own network (alliance, association, or institute) in one day!

When:

April, 20th from 8 am to 10 pm

Where:

Hyatt Regency Hill Country
Resort and Spa in San Antonio, TX

Who:

YOU and Sheri McConnell, the president and founder of two global networks. One is the Global Institute of Associations-GIA which was launched in late 2008 and produced multiple six figures within a few short months. And her latest venture is the Smart Women’s Institute of Entrepreneurial Learning (formerly the National Association of Women Writers-Est. 2001) where she teaches women how to achieve financial independence through passionate entrepreneurship. She is also the author of Smart Women Create Membership-Based Businesses, The Smart Women’s Book of Powerful Quotations and Smart Women Know Their “Why” – A Guide for Discovering Your Life Purpose and Making Big Profits (Pub Date May 2010).  

Why:

My clients always move faster when I hold their hand through my Blueprint process below.  When clients aren’t able to work with me one-on-one, they get stuck in the “Create” column, do it wrong, and have a hard time getting to launch (and becoming profitable!)

In this one day workshop, I will take you through my entire “Create” process and you will document all your hard work in our “GIA Workshop Notebook”.  This notebook will be your physical strategic plan when you return to your office and you will use it to delegate and complete the launch process.  This is a BRAND NEW workbook that allows you to brainstorm and decide on each step before moving to the next step.

This is what we will work on during
the workshop on April 20th:

1) Creating Your Name and Your Tagline

I will work with you to help you create your name. This IS the most important step and half the time my clients come to a screeching halt with this one step. I will teach you my formula for naming that will allow you to create a name the search engines love and your future members get!  Doing this step correctly can make or break your association… for instance, all of my associations were able to climb to number two on Google and never go lower than seven!  I will also share my entity structure resources so you can return home and officially trademark your name and move forward with selecting a corporate structure.

2) Choosing Your URL

We will brainstorm a number of possible URLs so you can hit the ground running when you return home.  I will also tell you which URL endings to buy and which ones to ignore.

3) Mapping Out Your Benefits Package

This is my favorite part! I will teach you how to create a scalable membership package meaning it is as easy to serve 50 people as it is 5000 people.  This step is key to your success because we want to leverage as many members as possible in your industry to catapult your success.

4) Deciding On Your Pricing

After we map out your benefits, I will work with you on determining the best pricing based on cost to deliver your benefits and the industry norms. This step is often complicated when my clients don’t have my help. They also overlook what I call the “red flags” in the benefits package that can cost too much time and money to provide.

5) Mapping Out Expert Panel and Potential Joint Venture Partners and Vendors

I will work with you in small groups to help you brainstorm key players in your industry and we will also talk about how you should best approach them to use your association leverage.

6) Mapping Out Your Marketing Calendar for the Rest of 2010

Before you leave the workshop, we will plan out your prelaunch and launch dates as well as your future marketing activities and when you will do them.  You will receive copies of  my graphic tools to complete this process: Marketing Map, Conversion Map, and the Success Blueprint Map.

7) Brainstorm Additional Revenue Streams

And last, before you head up to your room to lay your head on your pillow after our long productive day, we will brainstorm additional revenues streams.  I will walk you through the many possibilities and then work in small groups with you based on which revenue stream you chose to focus on next.  That way you have a plan right after you launch your association for the next project to work on.
