An Uncommon Dialogue On The Strategy of Preeminence by Jay Abraham

The Foundation Principle of The Strategy of Preeminence

The foundation principle of the Strategy of Preeminence by Jay Abraham is to love your client.  This means a complete focus on bringing maximum value to a client where you provide  a service or sell a product.

How To Fall In Love With Your Client

Steve Pohlit on Implementing Jay Abraham's The Strategy of Preeminence

As a business coach and business consultant at the outset with every new client, my focus is completely on how to help them achieve their intended goals as fast as possible. I have a single minded vision. I am in love with the idea of leaving the client in a better position as a result of my work with them.

For the most part my clients are engaged in the process.  The ones who are not, do not receive the full benefit of my experience. This is because an increasing amount of time is spent trying to determine what will work the best in getting them to take directed action. I fall out of love with the idea of being able to help them because they are not helping themselves.

In summary become completely focused on the success of your client or the outcome they are intending when buying your product. As your market knows your passion for client success stories, you become the the “go to business” for service/products. When that happens you are experiencing the benefit of implementing the Strategy of Preeminence.   There’s More!!!

How To Develop The Confidence To Implement The Strategy of Preeminence

I consistently coach clients to develop their own self-development program so that they are in a state of happiness and confidence. This is important for success in their personal and business lives. The number one barrier that blocks people from moving forward and achieving what is possible for them is lack of confidence..lack of self esteem.  Once that is addressed then I find most often a gap in defining success. Without a clear definition it is impossible to implement an action plan that can lead you to the goal.  The majority of the time we don’t just get in a car and drive. We  have a destination and we research the route if we don’t already know it.

The Best Way I Have Found To Strengthen Self Esteem

Og Mandino is the author of quite a few wonderful self development books. One of them is The Greatest Miracle In The World. In that book,  Og writes about the probability of any human being born.  The math works out to be 1 in 300 billion or something like that. He uses that information to emphasize just how special each  is. I love to reflect on that information as it applies to me and everyone else.

Developing confidence starts with strengthening your self esteem and then putting yourself in positions where that are outside of your comfort zone. The more you do that, what was outside of your comfort zone becomes inside your comfort zone.  For example, public speaking is frightening for many people and it has been for me in the past. Now I love it and that experience helps me when networking for my businesses. Many networking situations involve standing up in front of a group and presenting who you are, what you are looking for and what you bring to the table.  I coach all my clients on how to become better at this since business success results from build successful relationships.

How To Achieve Success Beyond Measure

1. Define success in measurable terms
2. Develop step by step action plans designed to achieve the intended results.
3. Make adjustments as you get feedback on how you are doing vs. you plan.  This is the Plan vs Actual = Variance formula I share at all my live event presentations.  I have named this The Gold Formula.
4. Be relentless every day on implementing the action plan you you developed to achieve your success goals
5. End you day on a positive note with completing an important task or successfully marketing to one more client or an existing one.
6. Never ever lose site of the goal of being part of a better outcome as a result of you coming to the table.

Build Business Profits with A Client Focused Mindset

"Steve Pohlit"
Strategy of Preeminence Examples

In a recent article I addressed The Strategy of Preeminence taught by Jay Abraham.  Studying and coaching on this material has heightened my awareness of examples of people and companies who exemplify a preeminent mindset. Unfortunately there seems to be a dominance of examples opposite of a client success focused culture.  Every example is an opportunity for business to improve. Every improvement will be met with a corresponding increase in business profits.

Recent Examples:

United Airlines automated systems called me to alert me a flight I had scheduled was cancelled. Being notified was good.  Working on practical alternatives with United was a nightmare. It is true United Airlines booked me on a later flight. However, when you have plans beginning at noon, arriving at 6:30PM is not a viable option.  In researching alternatives, I learned there was a flight that would have arrived only two hours late. That flight was on American which is a Star Alliance Partner of United.  United didn’t book me on that flight, however United tried to call them and after a 45 minute wait there was not enough time to book it, confirm it and make the flight.

The logistics were one item. A deeper issue was communication. United Airlines customer support is located in India. While well intended, communication with people in a country where English is not their first language just does not work.  It was so difficult that I went to the airport in Chicago and tried to resolve the situation there.  I learned that I could book a flight back to my home town in Tampa for a price of nearly $500.  On line earlier, the price of that flight was $181.00 The representative at the airport gave me some explanation about rates that didn’t make sense. Additionally I could tell he really was not trying to help me.

I finally found a flight back to Tampa on another airline at a reasonable price.  It was clear I was not going to get to my original destination so I decided to fly home.  When I got to the gate for that flight I found it was delayed and hour which would mean I would miss my connecting flight. However the gate agent said “wait a minute I can get you on a United Flight direct leaving in an hour”  She demonstrated a sincere client focused mindset.  Ultimately I made that flight and returned home not feeling very good about spending most of the day on these logistics.

The airline industry has people that do their job well with a “serve the client” attitude. However, many parts of this system are broken including pricing and phone support.  There are airlines that get it more right than wrong. My favorite is Southwest which is why they have been consistently profitable.  Yes there is a direct correlation between serving the client and profitability.

Recommended Action Steps

If you have an automated attended phone system, trash it and have a live person answer the phones.

If you use staff from a third world country for customer service, develop US based call centers for US and English speaking customer calls.

Be sure your business model on line is consistent with your physical business model.

Strategically evaluate how well you are doing implementing a Strategy of Preeminence.

Leverage Is The Key To Building Business Profits

90% of the people I know who are focused on building business profits think of doing most of the work themselves and the remaining 10% who have addressed leverage do so by hiring employees or virtual resources.  None of these options would allow me to achieve the business plan for Tampa Capital Partners.

I am a business coach and consultant.  My plan is to continue providing those professional services.  They help me continually expand my network of increasingly successful people.  “Your network is your net worth” as I have heard many times from JT Foxx is absolutely true.

As my network expands I see the key reasons for businesses success. Those are:

…a focused plan developed with an experienced coach. and

..taking action.

There are more factors however. with those two in place your chances of success are greater than 90%.

Do I have a coach? Absolutely!  That is the key action step I took going into 2011 and my mindset has shifted far beyond what I had imagined. JT has 5 coaches, including:  George Ross, Jay Abraham and  Nido Qubein. Everyone who works with JT, myself included benefits from the coaching he receives because he teaches us what he learns.  The sharing of what works is the number one benefit of the being coached when that coach has relevant experience for you.

Leverage Being The Key To Business Profits

I decided to aggressively develop Tampa Capital Partners.  I knew I needed resources to do that. I decided to use a pay for performance model since I was not interested in simply paying people for tasks. I intend to develop a team of people who are very success oriented and see the synergy that develops when the pieces and parts come together.

Not long ago I published an article in support of my idea of  the Tampa Capital Partners Apprentice Program Just weeks later as a result of networking for team members, there are six people being trained on detailed tasks that are required to build real estate property leads, evaluating deals , submitting offers and closing deals. All of this is progressing while I am often thousands of miles away for 3 or 4 days out of the week.

I am now beginning to coach select clients on how to develop their own apprentice model and soon I will be publishing specific examples of transactional success.
