      Now we need to get specific. What advantages do the following trainers have over you (be specific and do it in in writing): Richard Bandler, John Grinder, Robert Dilts, Tad James, Tony Robbins, Adriana James, The International Coaching Federation, other coaching organizations, or any other new Master Trainers of NLP around the world you can think of?
      Write a reframe for each of these objections.
      Every “advantage” you come up with will bring to your awareness (if you pay attention) one or more of your limitations about yourself, doubts, fears (do Time Line Therapy(r) and let them go). Another possibility is that yu may come up with false complex equivalents. this is why you need to do this project in writing. For example, the fact that someone else has been in the business doe NOT equal you cannot be successful. The niche is different, the environment is different, the demographics and your background are different. And yet, many people fall into the trap of thinking this way by means of giving themselves an excuse for not being successful. Eliminate all these obstacles by doing TLT LD process, SMDs shifts, etc.
      Exchange ideas among yourselves below.

      1.All those trainers have the advantage of being in the industry for a long time.
      2.They are well known. Some even household names.
      3.Many have university education and PhDs.
      4.They have loads more experience than me.
      5.They already have huge followings.
      6.They have many referrals and references and testimonials and rollover students.
      7.They are and/or have been at the forefront of NLP research and development.
      8.They are published

      1. I am fresh and passionate and have vast life experiences.
      2. I am a highly respected and trusted member of the local community.
      3. I have studied at the University of hard knocks and have personally experienced many of the things my clients are going through.
      4. I have broader experiences.
      5. I just haven’t been universally discovered yet.
      6. I have a very solid reputation of high integrity and great knowledge.
      7. I see NLP from a fresh perspective.
      8. My story has been written about in books and newspapers. Anyone can write and publish a book.

      Looking at my niche, there are a few NLP practitioner/horse trainers that are my competitors. I see the same or similar advantages they have over me. Been recognised for a long time, very well known, Uni education, loads more experience, published, big following, they have also competed successfully at a very high level of riding, have courses approved by National Coaching Accreditation Scheme for accreditation points, etc…

      I see some LDs and false complex equivalents that I will let go.
      I can’t compete against that. They wont believe me. I’m kidding myself. I don’t have any accolades. I missed the boat. My competitive riding is not up to scratch. I don’t have what it takes to create a huge tribe following. I am no good at closing sales. I can’t even get consistent (let alone increasing number of) nlp coaching clients…

        Annie, this is great work.
        At No. 5 – “I just haven’t been universally discovered yet” – change that into something else. All sounded good as I read it, and (putting the cap on as a potential client reading it) I was fine until that point.
        The rest..you know what to do. It’s a bunch of LD and LB. Get rid of them. In every field there are new people coming in and adding to the body of practitioners and knowledge through their own personality and thinking. “They won’t believe me” is one of the objections in the 5 step process. Work with sleight of mouth reframes to make responses that smoke that out.
        Good job!

      Thank you Adriana.

      5. I have great following in my local community and wider horse community Australia wide.

      That’s better and establishes a niche already.
      At the end of the sentence you can add: …”as on one level humans are animals too” or “as we can lean a lot form the horses too” . I know it’s non-sequitur LOL

      Richard Bandler has been training for many years and innovated the technology of NLP. Richard teaches large on-site NLP training with no other certifications in 9 days.

      I teach you to change your life with NLP, begin changing the lives of others with a pre-training and an onsite, in Wine Country, 8-day training giving you 4 certifications and more tools to change lives.

      John Grinder has been training for many years and innovated the technology of NLP. John teaches in the UK and teaches special NLP for Achievement, NLP for Sales and NLP for business sales.

      I Teach you NLP to change your life and the lives of others in the wine country of Morgan Hill with more tools than NLP, You will be certified in NLP, TLT®, Hypnosis and NLPCoaching which meet or exceeds all international Coach Federations standards as a coach.

      Robert Dilts is also one of the world-recognized leaders of NLP. He has written extensively and has many books to his credit he also speaks to universities.

      I am doing a Practitioner training in the area this month. Robert was too busy to do a practitioner training in 2019. I am here, available to help you change your life, learn the skills to accomplish what you want and transform the lives of others.

      Tad James has been in business training NLP and training trainers for years. I highly recommend them as that is where I did my training. To do the training offered in Las Vegas, you only have to go to Las Vegas in the summertime with Adrianna or another trainer as Tad does not do NLP Prac anymore.

      I offer the training this year, in the fall in wine country. I understand your life situation and how you want to change your life and the lives of others. I can give you the personal attention to assure you the change you want during your NLP Practitioner course.

      Adriana James is also a great trainer, who can better identify with your situation yet also, is not doing so many NLP practitioners these days. You can attend Tad James Co Events from trainers trained by her there in las vegas in the summer.

      I, however, am trained by Adriana and Tad and can do the trainings here locally in a small environment so that we can assure you make the greatest amount of change for you.

      Tony Robbins does great trainings and events, as a participant of his programs I highly recommend them, however, his events are like a mountaintop experience. You will go, have a great experience and come back, but in the same environment, not much will change. If you hire his coaches for a significant amount someone else will coach you and over time you may make changes.

      Working with me, I will guarantee you will change your life. My training is for that very purpose to give you not a mountain top experience but the tools to change your neurology and make the changes in your mind, body, emotions and life and the tools to assist others to change as well.

      You could take ICF coach trainings and become a performance, health, life or other coach. I have done that myself and became a performance coach. I then took NLP to gain more tools.

      Working with me you will skip that step and only work on the NLP tools that work to produce the greatest shifts with your client in the shortest time possible. You will also learn some other valuable tools not taught in most NLP Trainings such as TLT®, Hypnosis and NLP Coaching which re-establishes the ICF standards taught in my trainings inclusivly that meet or exceed the ICF coaching standards.

      NLP Marine is a fine organization that does NLP Practitioner training in this area. They charge $5500 dollars, and offer a training that takes 19 days for NLP Practitioner in 1 4-day Weekend and 5 3-day weekends.

      I offer the NLP and 3 other certifications in two 4 day weekends with some pre-study you can do at your own flexible time, so you can change your life, yet not have such a long process with so much travel.

      You could do NLP Online and get a certification, for a bit less, yet have no practical experience of using the tools with others or have my close attention while you learn the techniques, where I can notice subtle nuances and give you pointers as well as the other 3 certifications and how to make a successful business from them.

      I understand where you are in life as a newly single and what you want to change going forward and will work with you one-on-one in small certification courses to assure you make the changes you want and have the tools to create everything you want, and help others as well. I offer lifetime support of you as you take this journey with me.

      How does that sound to you? Do you have any questions? Good, Let’s enroll you in the next prac, do you want to pay in full or put a deposit down today and pay before the training?

      Oh shoot! I’ve been meaning to respond to your email. Looking now!

      Ahhh…reframes. Time for fun! I too look forward to getting into this one and getting feedback too!

      I am so glad that you just mentioned Richard Bandler’s name because it means that you are connecting me with Richard in your mind! He has been around for a long long time teaching the same material and I know that for a fact. I am actually heartened that you know about Richard! This is going to sound very intriguing to you…NLP has taught us about modelling excellence and I can guarantee you that what I teach is based on the great work that Richard and others have purposefully passed on to us to grow the knowledge and skills globally and that means you will definitely get quality teaching PLUS my many examples of practical applications that are relevant to you in my trainings. And by the way, I can get you into the next training with a special package just for you if you are interested…

      Ah yes, Robert Dilts! I have followed his amazing work and love what he has done with NLP across the world, particularly with Sleight of Mouth. Did you know that Robert has spent years training others so that he can share the best ways to teach NLP and anyone who has done as much research on his specific techniques as I have will know the intricate detail of how to replicate his success. Now, I assume you want 100% success in your NLP journey so let’s get started on your pre-training preparation and you too will benefit from all the greats in NLP in my ‘four certification trainings’.

      Did you say Tony Robbins? He is a guru isn’t he. I am delighted to be in the same sphere as he is and know that regardless of how big or small my business is, I too guarantee the outcomes for my clients. You see, it is the methodology of our coaching i.e. Tony’s and my coaching that bring out the very best in our clients. You can enrol in my class now, start your tailored pre-training program and come to the training so well prepared that your results will impress you forever – isn’t that what you really want?

      I am excited that you have referenced the incredible Dr Tad James. I met him some years ago at my Trainers Training and I shook his hand. The man is an outstanding individual that has left an indelible mark on the world. Did you know that Tad created Time Line Therapy(R)? Just imagine if you will, letting go of all the negative emotions people carry with them every day, just let them all go in under 50 minutes and start living a full life again!! Being and doing what they truly want! Really! Do you want to keep those negative emotions or let them disappear forever? What do you choose? Now, I want to let you know, you can do this for yourself! In fact, you can do everything Tad and Adriana taught me in a 7 day training! Just picture how your life will be!

      ICF? That’s an interesting group. I have had students come to our trainings who wanted to exceed the ICF standards… They found out that we do much more than talk with our clients and get outstanding results all the time and more clients through word of mouth – they saw our success as eating into their market share. Of course we welcome people who want to excel and be excellent coaches into our programs. Is excelling something you want or are you happy with just meeting the ICF standards? Your choice.

      Dr Adriana James is like a mentor to me and I have completed nearly all her trainings over the years.It’s great to have choice isn’t it? Eventhough I choose to learn from Adriana, I am not Adriana and yet working with me, you will know that I am 100% committed to giving you my best every training and every coaching and my knowledge and skill set are used in such a way that will guarantee that you get an outcome. So what’s more important to you, a global name or getting on with achieving what you want right now?

      I finally got around to doing this one.
      I found that in doing this work, that not alot of limiting decisions came up. I had previously done work on these when I was just starting. I will be sure to be on the look out for anything that pops up. Here was my overview assessment of the competition from this context. I’m sure I could go deeper into to their competitive edge (and I will).

      Richard Bandler, John Grinder, and Robert Dilts and Tad James are the original NLP OG’s – legends
      – Because they are known as the founders, they are regarded as the premium offering
      – Tad James not only created TLT, but has dominated the NLP training industry for decades. His name speaks for itself

      Adriana is the heiress to the Tad James throne
      – She has the experience AND as a female brings versatility to a space that was previously dominated by men.
      – Marketing team and savvy
      – Established business and full team and tons of successful graduates
      – She has the whole machine put together working seamlessly

      Tony Robbins
      – Has the name and the million dollar empire
      – The name
      – Thousands of graduates from his trainings

      REFRAMING MY COMPETITION

      WHAT I HAVE
      – I am one of the few Black Female Trainers and I’m focusing on communities of color – I’m a unicorn in that aspect
      – I am relatable to my target market, and can speak to THEIR specific wants, needs, and desires
      – I have a trademark for Mind ReMapping
      – I have creativity and flexibility to bring this to untapped spaces
      – I have created flexible training options for different needs of potential students
      – I keep my trainings relatively small and intimate for more personalized attention
      – I have business, marketing, and social media Savvy and I have a loyal following of not only potential students but other referral sources in my professional and social circles that even if they are not ready to do the training yet, are sending people to me who they come across who are interested
      – I am a physician and that gives me another level of credibility

      Hi Maiysha

      Thank you for your amazing post! You have really given this deep thought!

      It’s evident that you are clear about the competition and you have taken on board one of the 22 Immutable Laws of Marketing – you are focusing on what you do well and in particular you have covered different elements of your offering.

      Like Conor suggested, be certain of your value and bring that to the surface. I can already see from our Zoom conversations that you are carving and deepening your impact in your niche market….Good on you!

      Talk soon, Gina
