The Most Important Message I've Shared With You All Year...
Tuesday, November 10, 2009 at 10:03AM Hello Renegade Professionals,
This is the most important message I've shared with you this year.
Naturally I'm encouraging you to give this special attention today.
Interestingly, I didn't plan what I would say.
I didn't spend hours crafting this.
I was able to sit down with a cup of coffee this morning and just spill my beans because we've been preparing for it over the last 21 months, since opening Renegade Professional in February of 2008.
You could call this email one of my 'grand opus' content pieces (that's content you create for your target audience that will be a classic--that will have an unusual impact--and be among the most valuable compared to 95% of everything else you write, create or do over the course of your entire career).
This is a tipping point moment for everyone I can successfully connect with today.
Before I begin sharing this important and timely topic about your current focus and the work you've been doing, I'd like to first recognize those who just enrolled with Coaching Cognition.
"Welcome aboard."
Its inspiring to see so many were "listening" over these past few months on how important "coaching skills" are in your marketing.
Whether it's to improve how well you connect with your audience at your blog, website, social sites, emails, or on the phone...
Or, you're eager to become a featured paid coach on the Coaching Cognition platform...
We're excited to have you as a part of this.
We were also excited to see so many of you purchase a ticket to our first-ever Renegade Live Event in January--something that's being offered at a special price to all the new Coaching Cognition students.
Ann Sieg and I, as well as the rest of the team are looking forward to personally meeting you!
If You Haven't Enrolled Into Coaching Cognition Yet...
I encourage each and every Renegade Professional to deeply consider enrolling to dramatically influence your results.
Because as I'll share, Coaching Cognition is more important than anything else I have offered you to date. And once enrollment ends, the opportunity will not come again until late next year.
You can learn all about enrollment by logging into your Renegade Professional back office.
Look for the icon that says:
Coaching Cognition.
Click on it from your back office.
When Distraction Pays...
What I'm about to share with you may sound like a contradition to my teachings on 'focus.'
I'll be discussing why it is so important to consider enrolling with Coaching Cognition regardless of anything else you're doing and learning right now.
I'll be discussing why I encourage you to MAKE this work regardless of where your head is, and regardless of the challenges.
I'll be encouraging you to do whatever it takes.
This is definitely not something you hear me say often when it concerns your focus and a single training course--In fact, its unlikely you will ever hear me say it again about anything other than learning "THIS".
At the 'sales page' I discuss WHY learning "coaching skills" will change everything for you.
From the number of leads you generate to the amount of influence you have with a prospect.
It's more important than anything else one can learn because this is something you carry inside of you. It expresses itself with every word and decision--every move you make. Every system or tool you use.
It's more important than my favorite methods of lead generation (social media and SEO). It's more important than PPC. I describe exactly why that is on the sales page in your back office.
Indeed, success requires a foundational skill most are ignorant of.
While Renegade Professional teaches you the tools that generate leads, understand that at the core of it, success has nothing to do with PPC, SEO, social media, lead generation or prospecting.
Hang with me here...
THAT is why most of you have missed the boat on developing these coaching skills so far.
It is why so few win. They don't understand this.
Why They Don't Understand...
While "coaching skills" are the single most important missing piece for people in marketing and business, its the hardest to understand because its intangible--you will NEVER see it. You just see the results of it.
You simply feel it when people have it (you follow them). You feel it when you have it (people follow you).
This is what sets successful people apart.
Whether they developed this on purpose and head-on, or the long way through painful and costly osmosis over the years, they learned this at different varying degrees. It is what sets them apart. It is why some people using the same tools, opportunities or systems as you do get so much more out of it.
Do you dig that? "Its cool man..."
It means you can join them by focusing on this right here, right now.
Before I begin, understand that I don't aim to 'sell' Coaching Cognition to you just for the sake of selling it. We have a long-term vision for the Renegade Professional community, which I am sure is evident to you if you've been here for a while. If you're new to the community, follow along here and I'm sure you'll pick up on it.
I'll do my best.
Choosing the right opportunities for you...
This is a biggie you've likely heard me talk about before (choosing the right opportunities for you).
It is vitally important to be able to recognize when its the right time to take advantage of certain opportunities that directly address where YOU ARE right now in life and business-- so you know your next proper step using the resources around you to get to where you want to go within a year or less, instead of far off in the distance.
You've likely heard me talk about the importance of 'focus' and not to allow yourself to get distracted with every new training that comes along unless there's a very good reason for it.
Here's why Coaching Cognition is AN exception:
1. There are mechanical things to learn, and then there are intangibles that give you the ability to have significant INFLUENCE.
While I'd like you to continue your lead generation practice and moving through Renegade Professional... developing your content out there on your blog or website and on the social sites, or applying the use of PPC and networking, along with SEO as we teach in the back office and in the Super Guide mastermind program...
You must still learn to influence and attract people in order to excel with ANY form of marketing or system or opportunity.
The ability to influence comes from listening, confidence, and a deeper insight into the needs of your target audience.
It comes from gaining credibility and exposure.
This is what you gain from Coaching Cognition so that what you're doing out there on your blog, website, PPC and in emails and in the social media space WORKS in a big way.
2. Credibility.
2. Credibility.
What many people lack is credibility.
Coaching Cognition is an accredited course with ICF (Internation Coaching Federation)--an Internationally recognized organization setting the standards on the coaching industry.
Right now, even counselors and psychologists are getting accredited as a coach because the market for coaching is growing so rapidly and offers so many more far reaching opportunities for them in business.
You will be accredited through Coaching Cognition.
This gives you credibility everywhere you go on and offline, which we'll teach you how to leverage to stand out and gain significantly more exposure.
In addition, you'll gain immediate credibility from within the Renegade Professional community as well, which will attract collaborations and new opportunities (key).
We'll be directing our vast network to the Coaching Cognition platform where you will be featured (300,000 on our lists and growing). Under our managing assistance we will help you become a valuable and recognized coach.
3. Money.
Get paid per hour for coaching (optional but recommended).
This is one of the things we teach you how to do even if you have no idea right now how its possible for you.
You will be supported in this process long after your Coaching Cognition training is finished. That's the benefit of us working with a smaller group of people--We can really help you along the way through the full process and every step of the way.
The personal interaction is huge in and of itelf, and something that is almost impossible to find out there anywhere other than Coaching Cognition.
While it is optional to become a paid coach as a partner on our platform, and there are plenty of other reasons to become a coach (such as how it will impact you in the ways I've already described), there is a huge benefit to getting paid for your time, hourly, while you build up your primary business.
It can have a major impact in not just 'making ends meet' while you build up your bigger business dreams, but how your spouse and family view what you're doing.
That can really be a stress reliever in and of itself.
It also impacts how you view and value yourself.
It impacts how your prospects, clients and partners view you.
I can't emphasize enough how quickly things change once you start earning income by assisting people in your areas of expertise, which could be as simple as showing people how to load their photo on Facebook or Squidoo, or something related to your business like coaching on wellness topics.
4. Coaching Cognition is a networking place.
This feeds you.
You will meet people who are on the same path as you--and you will gain tremendously from that personal interaction. This is vital to success online.
I couldn't have generated so many leads and attracted the success I have without having a small group of "like-minded" people to talk to and network with along the way.
5. Time is of the essence: The opportunity to enroll with Coaching Cognition ends soon and will not come again until late into next year. There may be a study course but that is not the same at all as having the personal interaction so vital to your progress.
Study the page in your back office that describes enrollment (there is a lot there to absorb so don't put this off). Carpe Diem.
6. Everything you learn in Coaching Cognition impacts what you are doing now.
Everything.
From how you craft an email, what you choose to write about at a Squidoo lens or on your site or blog, to how you approach a conversation with a prospect or what comments you leave to get people to call you or click on your link...
Your results will dramatically improve by focusing on this skill-set.
7. Finally, the reason I am emphasizing to do whatever it takes to enroll in this course before its too late is because it will make the biggest difference. Just as it did for me and dozens of others I know who struggled in business only to finally make their breakthrough by becoming aware.
But don't just take my word for it. Consider that Ann Sieg is also encouraging this as your next step. Think about that for a moment.
This is where she encouraged her RBMP (Renegade Breakthrough Mentoring Program) interns to focus next (RMBP interns are also Renegade Professionals, but who took Ann's mentoring course on 'building an online empire').
Ann knows 'coaching skills' are a vital and overlooked piece, which is why she has contributed to the ongoing development of Coaching Cognition.
Consider Ellie Drake (I hope you've listened to her call)--
She is arguably among the most successful inspirational speakers of our time.
She has absolutely no financial benefit to contribute to Coaching Cognition and yet she is doing it because that's who Ellie is... she serves people who reach higher.
Because she understands the value of giving value to those who choose to move into the right direction where most people don't.
Ellie Drake's contribution to the curriculum speaks volumes...
She will be providing exclusive training that will ONLY be available to Coaching Cognition students to assist you in your process of developing these invaluable skill-sets.
If you missed the call I did with Ellie last week, you'll find it on the sales page in your back office.
It's golden and will help you understand what I'm describing here and on the sales page in your back office.
Finally, I'd like you to consider what Ann Sieg's upline and recent business coach had to say about Barbara Silva's Coaching Cognition (Ann Sieg passed this onto me):
He writes:
"Hi Ann:
I’m back in my home office in NZ. Great trip to the Philippines,
but glad to be back. Alicia & Lisa are amazing with the new
division created in the Renegade Phenomena - I love your
leadership style of believing the best in people and seeing
them create.
I also noticed the new Coaching Cognition icon when I logged
into r-pro today.
Just wanted the RBMPers to be sure to read Mike’s letter
regarding it.
I readily admit that I am a Renegade junkie (I would call
myself an addict, but that would insinuate that I think I
have a problem or want to be free from it - I don’t!)
OK - the point is RBMP teaches how to create a state of the
art attraction marketing empire - from my perspective to take
your business even higher (if you are wanting 6 figure residual)
you must learn great communication, people, and leadership
skills - adding superb human interaction to your state-of-the-art
online funnels.
Barbara Silva and Coaching Cognition is the place to get this.
Mike’s letter is great - no hype, it is all accurate - I can say that with
confidence being part of Barbara’s pilot group.
RBMPers- take a look at CC. After RBMP - this is the next
solid place to invest in your professional development.
Again - it is such a privilege to be on a journey with destiny
creators."

---------------------------------------------------------------------
I know some of you have tough schedules.
I totally get that.
I want you to know we have designed this so you can attend.
Many of the classes will be live, interactive and are small-group sessions. That's the power of this and what makes it so effective as a course.
You Get To Choose From Many Different Times So This Fits Your Schedule...
Coaching Cognition is set up so you can choose from many different time slots to accommodate even the most unpredictable schedule. If even if you miss your group's session, you'll be able to move to another group to stay plugged in.
The classes start at the end of this month and early next month, depending on the particular class you end up in (which depends on your schedule). Barbara Silva will work with you after you enroll to build the schedule around you and the rest of the students.
Talk about personalization and care!
Contact support@marketingmerge.com if you have questions or concerns about being able to attend because of your schedule, or to ask any other questions.
Please, do whatever it takes to enroll.
Shift things around.
And, consider meeting us in person in January (you'll have an opportunity to pick up a ticket at a discounted price after enrolling into Coaching Cognition).
Finally...
I've spent so much time on this because I believe that few things could be more important.
What I'm aiming to do here is to get your attention directed in the right place... to a place that few will ever focus on, but where they should be focusing most.
Whether you enroll or not, I emphasize the importance of at least studying the letter in your back office and to deeply consider this.
Stare these skills in the face.
Acknowledge them as THE KEY to making marketing and business work...
This awareness alone will give you an advantage in business that you most will never have.
Log into your back office now while its on your mind.
Find the icon that says: Coaching Cognition.
I'll see you inside,
-Mike Klingler

Nothing short of dying would have kept me from taking this course, Mike! My core self knows that it will increase my "influence factor" as you so aptly put it.
Being credible is also important to me, not to mention the fact that it is an opportunity to gain monetarily on or offline.
More than that, interacting with other like-minded individuals will be energizing, exciting and empowering.
Let's get set, ready, GO!
Oh boy! So much to do and so little time what with two websites to grow (thanks Ken Evoy), Renegade Professional to do (at the video section, thanks Mike) and all of Ann Sieg's help. I will check out Coaching Cognition. As the commercial says, Just do it!
I committed. I have been waiting since February of 2008 when the first intake came and went, without my name on the list.
I have 100% confidence in Barbara, in the Coaching Cognition platform, in my readiness for change.
So, I look forward to meeting the other students of this class.
Thanks, Mike, Barbara, Didi and Marketing Merge team.
I can not say enough about how Coaching Cognition has changed my entire way of looking at the phone :) What I mean is, I now have so much confidence after getting this far into the course. And that confidence translates into picking up the phone, calling my leads, my clients, and even more exciting...
I know that now, thanks to Renegade Pro, people from all over the world call me for assistance. And thanks to Coaching Cognition, I know I can help them.
Thank you Mike! Thank you Barbara!

I am on board and eager to get started. Coaching has been a dream of mine for a long time. I want to give to people so much and I still have so much to learn along the way. Coaching is vital to life and to lasting relationships. This is a smart investment for anyone wanting to succeed in life. I am looking forward to the Live Event as well! Thank you, Mike, Didi, Ann, Barbara, Eric and the rest of the crew. You continue to amaze me with the value you give to the rest of us!
Hi
I live in Malaysia (+8GMT). What time would your classes be held?
I have always felt I missed the coaching boat. Not sure if this is a chance to remedy that. But what time would your classes be. and how often would you be holding it. If it's going to be the wee hours of the morning for me, I'd like to know how many times a week I would need to do this. thanks.
Asha
Hi
I live in Malaysia (+8 GMT). I would like to know what time classes normally are held and how many times a week.
Hi Asha,
Since we have people enrolling from all over the world and these are small groups--there will be MANY times to choose from.
Email support@marketingmerge.com with that question and someone will be able to let you know if that is going to be practical. I think it will work because we have people from many places world-wide and likely many of them will be on your same schedule.
hope to see you be a part of it!
Mike
I can't even put into words how excited I am to see a program as large as this. This is what I have been looking for, I just didn't know how to go about finding it. I am continually impressed with the over delivery of value both Ann and Mike and the entire Staff of this community brings. You can't even call it a company because that would be an insult.You truly have opened my eyes to such a larger spectrum of how I can truly help others understand the power of what can be accomplished in any market, any niche, any profession. Thank You for showing me how to show compassion.
