Emphasizes the importance of negotiation and financial skills for leading a great life. Inspired by a morning conversation about securing funding for a community project. Key Context [1:00] A friend is seeking funding from a local government for a community project. Importance of preparation before meetings: Building relationships. Understanding the council's criteria and priorities. Researching public plans or statements. Negotiation Principles [2:30] Ask for More Than You Want: Don't settle for $2,000; aim for $10,000 to leave room for negotiation. Reference to "argy-bargy" (negotiation dance). Stack the Benefits: Provide 5 compelling reasons for your request. Example: Use the "Bob Hawke approach" of having 5 clear points. Give Decision-Makers Room to Feel They've Won: Let them believe they saved money or got a good deal. Five Tips for Effective Negotiation [5:00] Understand Their Priorities: Research objectives, criteria, and past grants. Use their language and highlight how your project aligns with their goals. Prepare a Compelling Value Proposition: Clearly articulate the benefits and impact of your proposal. Link benefits to their goals (e.g., job creation, tourism, leadership). Showcase Tangible Outcomes: Use data, case studies, testimonials, and visuals. Highlight measurable impacts and your proven track record. Build Relationships and Leverage Influence: Develop rapport with decision-makers before formal negotiations. Use endorsements from respected community figures. Be Flexible but Firm on Key Points: Know your minimum requirements and be open to alternatives (e.g., partial funding). Practical Application [10:00] Anecdotes about helping friends and relatives negotiate: A friend securing funding for a community project. A relative negotiating a higher salary. Reinforces the idea that small changes in negotiation strategy can lead to significant financial gains. Final Takeaways [15:00] Negotiation is both logical and emotional. People operate on the "WII FM" principle ("What's in it for me?"). Training and practice are important to improve negotiation skills. Call to Action [18:00] Encourages listeners to explore the CZ6 Sales System for better negotiation and sales results. Testimonials about the system's success in boosting sales by up to 50%.

#299: How To Find The Right Virtual Assistants For Your Medical Practice with Beth Lachance

“The first rule of management is delegation. Don't try and do everything yourself because you can't.” – Anthea Turner Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, sits down with Beth Lachance, CEO of REVA Global Medical. Virtual Assistants have slowly been revolutionizing how the healthcare space operates, and Beth explains how. From front-desk tasks to vital back-end systems, Virtual Assistants can do it all. Tune into this episode to learn more about the beauty of hiring Virtual Assistants.   3 KEY POINTS: Know when you need to take something off your plate and hand it off to someone else. Hire people that you know will do it better than you. You can't do everything and you can't do everything well.   EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: Beth's husband, who owned a VA company for years, underwent a business partnership break-up four years ago. After that incident, Beth quit her job and joined her husband to launch REVA Global. Having a deep understanding of several medical practices, Beth knew there was great potential in creating a business offering virtual medical assistance for medical practices. Date, if possible, before you get married. Really, really know the person you're going into business with. Learn their history and how they act with different people. Back then, Virtual Assistants have been popular in various industries except for the medical industry. The pandemic allowed the medical industry to realize that remote workers in medicine are possible. Virtual Assistants are capable of handling time-consuming front-desk tasks, full new patient intakes, revenue cycles, etc. Nurses and medical assistants should focus on patient care and assisting the physicians and be relieved of tasks that can be delegated to Virtual Assistants. REVA Medical Global is entirely Philippines-based. The Philippine culture works out extraordinarily well in US Healthcare. REVA's Filipino VAs all have bachelor's degrees and excellent English proficiency. The common pain points that Virtual Assistants help with are “scaling a business at the right pace” and “seeing more patients.” Hire fast, fire faster. If you know someone's not going to work out, we have to move on. Learn more about REVA Global Medical through www.revaglobalmd.com Reach Beth directly through her email beth@revaglobal.com   TWEETABLE QUOTES: "Virtual Assistants taking off and delegating monotonous, brutal tasks from the medical team is what makes a really big difference." – Beth Lachance "You've got to make sure they love their job. It's not just about paying somebody more. You can pay me more, but if I hate my job, I'm not going to stay that much longer." – Beth Lachance   CONNECT WITH JASON DUPRAT LinkedIn | Facebook | Instagram | Youtube Email: support@jasonduprat.com Join our Facebook group: https://jasonduprat.com/group   ABOUT THE GUEST Beth Lachance is the CEO of REVA Global Medical, a provider of outsourced solutions for medical professionals and entrepreneurs and is the leading source for trained Medical Virtual Assistants.

Maximize Profit & Systematize Income, 10/16/2021 On this episode of Y.E.L. 2.0, your host Peter Voogd, serial entrepreneur, mentor, speaker, best-selling author, husband, and father talks about ways to maximize business profits. He gives out great tips to scale-up your business. According to him the biggest key to business is getting and keeping customers. Episode Highlights:  You can create maximum profit when there is maximum pessimism. Peter says who we associate with and who we connect with, is how our philosophy is formed in business. There is a need to have the right foundation and principles in our head before we can ever make changes. There's only one focus in business and that should be the consistent focus. Number one purpose in business is getting and keeping customer. You have to have a strong referral focus. Most businesses 90% focus on increasing number of clients. How are we viewed and positioned in the marketplace, how many testimonials do we have out there. How fast is your speed of implementation? To keep things consistent in business do periodic check-ups. 3 Key Points: Know your business; write down all the things that you are doing in your business. Need to understand that it's about getting and keeping customers.  Referrals can be one of the most important tools to exponentially grow your business; hiring, delegation and right positioning of experts is a big profit maximizer too. Tweetable Quotes: “If you would have told me I was ever going to even make six figures in entrepreneurship, I would have laughed in your face.” – Peter Voogd “If you happen to be dissatisfied with your income, you have to investigate all the excuses.” - Peter Voogd “There's only three ways to grow your business” - Peter Voogd “First thing is referral, yes you need to make sure you understand marketing, but how can you reward people to refer others to your business.” - Peter Voogd “So daily, weekly, monthly, 60 days – quarterly, 90 days check-up actually should be 90 days check-up then quarterly.

During the HyperFast “Hangover” Event, host Keri Shull speaks with developer Andrew Greer about how real estate agents can expand their opportunities by approaching developers. In this episode, you'll learn how to approach developers, what to say to them, and the smart questions you need to ask. Episode Highlights:  Andrew Greer is a developer in San Diego, California. They have three ten-plexes actively under construction and another thirty-eight units in the permitting stage. You can do more deals. You can do more expensive deals. Or you can do more repeat business. Andrew likes to do more deals with the same people over and over again. Many realtors overlook the fact that interest lists are gold. You can provide value to that interest list while bringing them into your network. If you work with a developer you'll develop a buyer box. You'll have quick decision making. They are non-emotional clients. With the right developer, you'll always know you can get certain deals done. Keri and Andrew talk about feeling out prospects when approaching them to buy their home for redevelopment. Try to figure out what developers are buying before approaching them. Instead of asking people if you can pick their brain, ask if you can have a conversation where you can add value to them. Keri studied the builders in the market she wanted to take over and she noticed they had agents that were not helping them with the acquisition piece. Tell people you have the ability to acquire the assets they want if they define those assets. Understand how the developers look at the money and what their benchmarks are. Understand how they get the money. Ask if they're able to write a non-contingent offer. Review the properties they buy upfront. Request their buyer box. You need to request their buying strategy. Ask if you could bring them a dream deal, what would it be. Keri always wants to understand their capacity. Listen to what's inhibiting their growth. If you help others lean into their growth and come up with solutions for them, you're creating a long-term partnership. If you're an agent that can help developers raise money, that's helpful. You can give your clients another stream of income when you give them an opportunity to invest. You can host webinars where your builders can present to your clients to create opportunities for investment. 3 Key Points: Know why you're meeting with a developer upfront. Do your research about what they're buying.  Get the developer to define what they're looking for, then bring it to them. You can present your clients with opportunities to invest.

You chose it. Human beings can evolve by choice, right? Because we can learn, and that is evolution.” - Dr. Ryan DeBell (CrossFit) “The focus got lost on the mastery of one's own body and instead it turned into the mastery of my body versus your body to see who can do it better.” - Dr. Ryan DeBell  “The things that give you a short-term positive result may not give you a long-term positive result that you want” - Dr. Ryan DeBell “If you know what your goals are, you can break them down into daily actions.

Do you know the difference between a “customer” and a “client”?  If not, don’t worry! I struggled with understanding the nuance for a long time in my consulting career.  In today’s episode, we’re going to examine the definitions of customers vs. clients, and lay down five key actions you can take to build business relationships that are more than transaction deep. Subscribe to Buy Black Podcast Apple     | Google     | Spotify     | Stitcher     | iHeart Submit a question for our new monthly Question & Answer episode to: questions@buyblackpodcast.com 3 Key Points: Know the difference between Customers vs Clients: Customers come to your business to get a product or a service.  Your relationship is transaction-based. Loyal customers will happily patronize your business again and again, but that doesn’t make them clients.  Client relationships typically feature and exchange of value based on a trust relationship and demonstrated expertise. Become the Concierge: Everybody claims to “know a guy who knows a guy”.  You want to be THAT Guy (or Gal)! Build a strong and diverse professional network and always look for opportunities to refer your customers to other people who can solve their problems.  Not only does this increase your personal value in their eyes, but your peer business relationships grow stronger because of your referrals! DJay Reace and Oliver M. Fitzpatrick have some great techniques for building professional networks! Have a Coaching or Consulting Offer Ready: If you build real relationships with your customers, many of them will ask for more access to you and your expertise.  You NEED to be prepared for this with a structured coaching or consulting offer! Take the time, while you have it, to put together a basic offer for your services and have an agreement in your file library.  There is no shortage of coaching/consulting agreement templates available on the web, but here’s the one that worked best for me Templates for Coaches.
