Private Consulting Group With Stephen Hilgart
Read This If You Want To Scale Your Business Without Stress Or Overwhelm
Dear Friend,
If you're reading this then that means you're interested in finding out more about becoming a member of my Private Consulting Group.
I guess this is where I'm supposed to "sell" you on the idea, but frankly, ...
This Isn't For Everyone.
I know, I know ...that sounds like some sort of attempt at "takeaway selling" ...but that's not my angle here.
The real reason I say it is because when some people see the word "Group" ...they immediately think of the word "Mastermind" ...and that's not really what the Private Consulting Group is all about.
See, the main reason people join the Private Consulting Group is NOT because they want to meet, network, and exchange ideas with other successful entrepreneurs.
Of course members do network and exchange ideas, but the real reason they join is to get one thing ...
Simplified Growth
They don't want 9,000 new ideas they can "test".
They don't want the latest theory or "hack".
Instead, they want clarity and focus.
They want to grow their revenues without having to deal with stress, complexity, or overwhelm.
Basically, they want me to figure out exactly what they should do
...and then help them do it.
I call it ...
Finding The One "Big Domino"
Throughout my years of working with businesses like yours, I have come to realize ONE THING…
There’s always ONE big domino…
ONE “big thing” that when identified, will totally transform your business.
And if you can find it and knock it down... Everything will change… and faster than you could possibly imagine!
Tony's Ticket Trick - Turning Seats Into Success
So, here's a cool story about when I was working with Tony Robbins.
(You know, the big guy.)
Back in the day, we're selling tickets to his main event, Unleash the Power Within.
But here's the snag -- only about 8% of attendees would ever enroll in Mastery University (the upsell), which is like 15 grand a pop.
I'm thinking, "This thing is life changing... there has to be a way to get people to see that."
So, what did we do?
Instead of just selling tickets and waving goodbye, (most of the salespeople had a churn & burn mentality) we start building this awesome community.
Before, during, and after the event -- we wanted it to be all about keeping in touch, making friends, having fun.
People weren't just going to an event; they were joining a team. Same shirts, colors, the works. It was like a party where everyone's invited.
Now, get this. Those who joined our group, they didn't just show up - they committed. Big time. We're talking a jump from 8% conversion to a whopping 32% conversion into Mastery University.
3 times a year, I'd have about 600 people sitting in my group section... and because they did? It led to...
... Drum roll, please... a total annual revenue increase of $8.64 MILLION from the Mastery University upsells alone!
Super cool, right?
What’s the secret sauce? Simple. It's all about sticking together. When people feel part of something bigger, they dive in deeper.
Each time, boom - numbers through the roof.
Bottom line?
Sometimes the biggest win is just about keeping it real with people. That's it. Nothing fancy.
Just good old community spirit turning tickets into a goldmine.
The $4 Million Newsletter Trick
Get this one.
I worked with a guy who had this financial newsletter. All about investing in commodities and resources. Pretty niche, right?
Here's the deal:
He's busting his butt trying to sell this thing.
Making a website, driving traffic - the whole nine yards.
But guess what? Hardly any bites. Just a few dozen sales. Not exactly hitting the jackpot.
I tell him, "Someone out there has already got your audience. Let's find 'em and make a deal."
He gets this lightbulb moment, remembers he knows a big shot at the largest financial newsletter company on the planet....
Bingo.
He cuts a deal with them. A bit of profit sharing, no biggie.
We get the word out about his newsletter through them and this thing blows up.
I mean, over $4 million in subscriptions in less than 48 hours. Crazy, right?
Here's the kicker though. The secret wasn't about working harder or spending more on ads.
It was all about being smart – going where the customers already are. That's it. Simple, yet it made all the difference.
The Coaching Comeback: From the Brink to Big Bucks
Here's a story about this high-ticket coaching program I worked with.
They're in the business of teaching folks how to start and build a profitable eCommerce store (biz opp kinda thing for Shopify).
Things were looking grim for them. Their only way of getting customers hit a wall, and they were scraping by with just 200 grand a month.
Not too shabby, but they had over 40 employees to take care of... so they were on thin ice.
Then, I noticed something.
They've got this army of fans – over 6,000 people who've already shelled out like 4K each.
But here's the kicker: they hadn't offered them anything else. Not a thing.
I'm thinking, "We're sitting on a gold mine here!"
So, what do we do? We roll out this supercharged, more in-depth coaching program at a 12-15 grand price tag (it's actually a really good program with lots of one-on-one -- the could probably charge even more for it).
Their revenue skyrockets from 200K to a 740K average per month.
Here's the deal: If you're doing right by your customers, getting them results, they're gonna stick with you.
They already trust you, right?
So when you offer them something even better, they're all in.
Happy customers don't just stay; they level up. And that's exactly what happened.
The Auto Shop's $18 Million Idea
Another client who runs a bunch of auto repair shops.
He was already doing great, but he was on the hunt for new ways to grow and expand.
He didn't want to add new locations with more stress, more employees, more problems. He wants what YOU want... more money, less stress.
We get to talking about his customers. What they're into before, during, and after they swing by his shop.
It's all about understanding that customer journey. Then, this lightbulb moment hits us. What else are these folks buying?
Turns out, there's this niche thing – tires for a specific type of vehicle. He's already got a bunch of customers coming in, why not offer them these tires?
So he goes for it, starts selling these niche tires right there in his auto repair shops.
And guess what? This isn't just a few extra bucks. We're talking a whopping 18 million dollars in additional revenue.
Yeah, you heard that right – 18 million!
The lesson here? It's super simple.
Just look at what your customers are already into and offer them that. They know you, they trust you, so when you've got something else they want, they're game.
Tons of additional revenue, just tuning into what his customers were already looking for.
Giving Up $3M Fitness
Business For $30M
These guys had a cool fitness app for women, online personal training courses, the works.
But after people saw how well they were doing, they had a huge flood of knock-offs who stole their copy, their offers, their everything -- and started charging less.
This made these guys feel like they had to charge less... and then the copycats charged even less than that...
So, I take a look and say, “Hey, this race to the bottom isn't doing you any favors. Let's flip the script.”
My idea? Give the training away for free.
Yeah, you heard that right – zero dollars. But here's the twist: we sell them something else.
They decide on women's fitness apparel. Makes sense, right? Their customers are women, already fitness buffs, so why not offer them something they'd love?
Fast forward 18 months, and guess what? Their revenue skyrockets from a decent $3 million a year to an eye-popping $30 million.
All by giving away the training for free to selling out top-notch fitness apparel.
It's like finding gold in your backyard. They were sitting on this treasure trove of customers and just needed the right product to offer.
The takeaway? Even when things look grim, a little pivot can turn your world around.
It's not about sticking to what you've always done. It's about seeing what your customers really want and giving it to them.
EVERYTHING IS SUPER SIMPLE.
Go read those stories again.
Every time, I just found ONE THING.
One “Big Domino” at a time and focused on that.
Look.
2024 marks my SIXTEENTH year of advising businesses and helping them grow.
That’s 5,840 days of experience ...and counting.
And if there’s anything I’ve learned that’s had a bigger impact than everything else combined, it’s this ONE THING: Keep it simple.
Every business has one “Big Domino” that when knocked over, can cause everything to change.
Imagine What Could Happen If You Found Your “One Big Domino”...
Imagine how that could change your business…
If you stay focused and disciplined, you might double, triple or even quadruple your revenue…
All while decreasing stress…
You could spend more time with the people you love… and not always have to be working...
You could have the income to experience life on a whole other level…
All by finding that ONE big domino…
But finding it can be hard. It can take years of trial and error. Hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars wasted on easily avoidable mistakes. The good news is,
I’m going to find your
ONE THING for you!
...You don’t have to worry about implementing a whole bunch of ideas that you don’t have time for...
...You don’t have to put even more on your to-do list...
All you have to do is that ONE THING that I uncover…
And you could double, triple or even quadruple your NET revenue… all while decreasing stress and your workload.
Does That Sound Like
Something You Want?
If it is, I can help you. BUT THERE’S MORE TO THE STORY.
Getting amazing results and actually pulling this off is - like most things - harder than it looks.
And totally transforming your business takes time, effort, and energy.
In order for me to really help you, I need to work with you for about a year.
If you’re interested in working together...
Here's What I've Got
The clients I told you about are part of an exclusive group called The Private Consulting Group.
I’d like you to join us.
Our entire focus is on finding your ONE THING, perfecting it, and implementing it.
Once that’s done, we find the next ONE THING and implement that.
We’ll accomplish this by meeting three times over the next 12 months - and by talking on Zoom when necessary.
If accepted, I can absolutely guarantee you’ll be thrilled because I’ve done this before - repeatedly.
This program is by invitation only and I’ll give you a link to request an invite at the bottom of this letter. But ...
Before You Apply, Let Me
Be Brutally Honest:
I’ve created an application process to filter out any tire-kickers or flakes.
Here’s how it works:
1. You’ll see the application at the bottom of this letter.
2. After you fill it out, I’ll review it personally.
3. If I think we might be a good fit, I’ll have my wife, Andrea, reach out to you and schedule a quick 15-minute call so she can answer your questions (and ask you a few more as well).
4. Assuming you both still think we’re a good fit, Andrea will then schedule a call between you and me personally.
5. That call will be maybe 30 minutes and if I think we’re a good match, I’ll invite you to participate.
If you feel like this is right for you, click the “Apply Now” link below and fill out an application before the remaining spots fill up and you miss out on this opportunity for good.
Thanks for taking the time to read this letter and I look forward to seeing you soon!
Stephen Hilgart
P.S. You might be wondering how this is different from other Mastermind Groups out there.
In short, the difference is ME.
In fact, I wouldn’t classify this as a “Mastermind Group.”
Are there other members?
Sure.
Are they amazing?
Absolutely.
Is there value in hanging out with them?
Of course.
But what you’re really getting is me ...personally reviewing your business on an ongoing basis, telling you exactly what to do ...and helping you do it.
That’s how I’m able to get the results I shared in this letter.
It’s like getting a huge discount on my $18,000 per day consulting rate ...and then being able to hang out with other “heavy hitters” in the process.
Then there’s the fact I give all members my cell phone and encourage them to call me or text me when they need something.
See? Different. Not “just another group”. Not by a mile.
So - if you want in, APPLY HERE ASAP. The spots will definitely fill up fast.
