Beginning January 15, 2008, I will be offering a unique new way of working with my clients. This idea was born out of a client conversation with a small business owner that had seen me present numerous times. We enjoyed a lunch and dinner together on separate occasions. We had become friends. He enjoyed my monthly e-zines and over a 6-month period would send me an email to stay in touch.

He is a serious entrepreneur doing less than $5,000,000 a year in revenue. It was clear from our conversations and emails he wanted access to me, my experience and those of my clients, but simply, at this time, could not afford to bring me out on site. As we continued to dialogue and discuss his unique situation, I blurted out, “What if we simply scheduled a teleconference for an hour or two, and you would have access to me in between with no limits (within reason) until you get through this challenging time?” He replied, “Do you take Visa?”

Over the next few months, I would casually mention this to other clients who hinted at the same kind of relationship, though not in so many words. The question I have learned to ask is, “There is a reason you asked that question, do you mind if I ask what it is?” It doesn’t matter if it’s a seemingly innocuous email, a harmless question after a seminar or a kind letter about one of my books, there is always a reason behind the contact. I am learning to really listen to the meaning behind the words, to dig a little deeper.

Another small business owner ($3,000,000/year) said to me, after I had spoken to his company gathering, “I didn’t know you offered Consulting and Coaching. Let’s talk further.” That is what this is all about. Those of you who want to talk further.

That brings us to the present. Beginning January 15, 2008 I am officially announcing and offering to the first seven clients, and only seven,

“Mark Matteson’s Monthly Mentoring Program”

Here is what existing and past clients have said about working with me:

I really appreciate your message; not just the practical application of work related tactics and strategies, but mostly the life changing values and skills of intention, other centeredness, etc. Your authenticity and style really is contagious and translates so well to a broad variety of clients. After 3 days of training (so far), I understand your success.
CEO, Glenview, Illinois

The reason I called you and enjoy working with you is that you are a great sounding board. Furthermore, you understand our industry and the unique challenges we face. I come away with a clear idea in my own mind about what I need to do next.
Partner, $4,000,000 a year Contractor, Seattle, WA

“Your commitment to our company and the transfer of Sales Skills has turned our company around. We now enjoy over $600,000 a year in Service Agreements (up from $50,000 four years ago). We enjoy steady cash-flow, planned work and double digit profits. Thank you. Have any prospective client call us anytime.”
$11,000,000 a year Commercial Contractor, Ocean, NJ

Whenever we teleconference, I come away with 3-4 pages of notes every time. Thank you.
Owner, $2,000,000 a year Company, St. Louis, MO

You have a lot of information to give. That is what I tell other people. Again, Mark, thanks for taking time out of your busy schedule to work with us.
Owner, $4,000,000 a year Contractor, Seattle, WA

You are a natural coach with unique skills that anyone could profit from.
I don’t know why you didn’t offer this service earlier. You will be busier than you ever have before once people find out you are offering your monthly program.
Nationally Known Marketing Consultant, Birmingham, AL

When asked, I struggled with explaining what is so powerful about what Mark is and does. It came to me this morning, he connects with people. Break it all down and that’s what we all have to do. When we come across people like Mark that make a difference in our business, in an instant we need to take advantage.
Sales Manager, Distributor in Portland, OR

Dear Mark,
Hey...thanks for the rocking, kick butt seminar I attended yesterday. I was waiting for the same old, same old, but you delivered a fun, witty atmosphere that was comfortable and exciting. I walked in there in a negative mood and walked out feeling very positive and empowered. Thanks for taking a few extra minutes with me to discuss my "hypothetical" situation here at work. I appreciated that. I'll be sure to attend the next one.
You've also inspired me to re-evaluate my life and where I am today and if I'm happy with the outcome. I'm writing down my goals and doing everything I can to achieve them. I'm also really considering what you said about finding mentors. I think this whole time I've been waiting for mentors to find me (if you can believe that). Even as I type that I'm saying it with a surprised, just seeing the light, voice. Amazing.
