FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs)
Q: Do you currently have a buyer for my course? Answer: Not yet. How could we when our our buyers have not seen your course. However, we do have an EXPLODING DATABASE of “prospective buyers”, many of which may RUSH to your course after we provide them your course’s confidential business information. Our prospective buyers will not visit your course, without FIRST having a strong inclination to buy. We will NOT waste our time, or yours, with an unqualified prospect. Q: How will you market my course? Answer: Two, highly powerful international web sites. Both are registered with all major search engines, professionally developed, managed, & maintained. The websites are easy-to-use and allow our prospects to contact us in a number of ways. More importantly, the website provides us with the necessary information to effectively CONTACT an interested buyer. All websites direct the prospective buyer information to our agents. Q: How else will you market my course? Answer: Ads in national magazines, newspapers, direct mail, trade shows, and our existing/increasing network of qualified buyers. Q: What will your marketing effort cost me? Answer: It’s free, if we do not succeed in selling your course We would then absorb 100% of your course’s marketing costs. When we SELL your course, we are paid based on a percentage of your course’s sales price. This percentage is CLEARLY stated when listing in our program. Q: How long will my course be tied up with your listing agreement? Answer: No longer then you want it to be. Typically our listing agreement is for 12 to 18 months. However, you can severe this agreement by signing our “Listing Termination” document, at any time during the listing period. We recognize the fact that your circumstances may change and you may realize the need to remove your course form the market. Q: What type of listing agreement do you use? Answer: An EXLUSIVE right-to-sell. That’s right. We exclusively market and sell your property using the best, most effective combination of modern technology and old-fashion networking in the marketplace today. This means that if your course sells during the term of our agreement, our commission is EARNED. This exclusive-right-to-sell fosters trust and cooperation with you, our client. It insures that your course will receive our marketing system’s top-notch attention and we, in return, are rewarded for our successful efforts. Q: How long will it take to sell my course, start to finish? Answer: Usually 2 to 12 months. Immediately we begin contacting our existing network of QUALIFIED prospects. Next, we upload your course’s “blind” profile to our world wide web site. Our existing network of buyers can then browse your course immediately. Next we begin the direct mail campaign via integrating our website responses with our mailing system. Simultaneously our print media ads are placed in three national real estate magazines. The response can be enormous. If your course is competitively priced, we may well receive an offer within the first month of promotion. If your course is priced at a premium over similar courses, negotiation with the buyers could string out for months. Q: Do I place my confidential business information on display for ANYONE to see? Answer: NO By “qualifying” our prospective buyers, we make sure that your confidential business data is made available ONLY to high net worth people/organizations capable of financing your valuable course. Our “blind profile” brochures/ads are designed to measure a buyer’s interest in your course without revealing the actual whereabouts of the course. Next we present your prospective buyer with our “Financial Qualification Policy” and “Confidentiality Agreement.” Upon signing of these forms and careful review by our staff, we make the decision to “QUALIFY” your prospective buyer. It is at this point, and only at this point, do we present them with your confidential business data. Remember: FIRST every serious and qualified buyer must see your course’s financial condition, BEFORE incurring the expense and effort of visiting your course/business in person. Q: How do you handle concerns of our existing staff? Rumors of sale, job loss, etc. Answer: By keeping our work private. Of course it is impossible to avoid rumors and most buyers prefer to keep your existing employees. As a result, you may find that our buyers prefer speaking with your employees about the course and business.
