Velvet Rope Playbook

Advertising legend Rosser Reeves popularized the Unique Selling Proposition—the idea that your marketing should give people one compelling reason to choose you. That's particularly important with affluent prospects because they usually have plenty of qualified professionals to choose from.
Today I’m showing you how to apply Reeves' thinking to modern affluent marketing, why generic claims about experience and exceptional service aren't enough, and how to identify the one valuable idea you want prospective clients to associate with your name. I also explain why repeating that central message—in different stories, videos and examples—is far more powerful than constantly reinventing your marketing.
If you'd like help developing the message that gives affluent prospects a compelling reason to choose you, comment COACH or visit https://www.getwealthyclients.com/private-strategy-session for information about working with me personally.

If you want to attract more affluent clients, there are two types of stories that can make your marketing considerably more persuasive.
Today , I explain The Cost of a Cheap Fix Story—how to demonstrate the hidden cost of choosing the wrong provider—and The Peer Validation Story—how to show affluent prospects that you've successfully helped people whose circumstances are similar to theirs.
Affluent clients usually have plenty of qualified professionals to choose from. These stories address two of the biggest factors in that decision: risk and relevance. One helps prospects understand why the cheapest or easiest solution can ultimately become the most expensive. The other gives them confidence that you understand people like them and the problems they face.

A wealthy prospect can easily afford what you're selling—and still think you're charging too much.
That's because wealth and willingness to pay are two entirely different things. Net worth tells you what someone canspend. It tells you very little about what they believe something is worth.
In this episode of The Velvet Rope Playbook, I tell the story of Douglas Whitmore, a successful entrepreneur worth more than $20 million, and Peter Langston, a vintage automobile expert who couldn't understand why Douglas balked at his $85,000 fee.
The problem wasn't Douglas's ability to pay. It was Peter's failure to make the value of his expertise unmistakable.
You'll discover why affluent clients can be surprisingly price-conscious, why premium pricing requires more than simply targeting people with money, and how to uncover the value in your expertise that may be obvious to you—but completely invisible to your prospective clients.
Because when an affluent prospect says, “You're too expensive,” they may actually be telling you something very different: “I don't yet see why you're worth it.”

When business slows down, the natural reaction is to start fixing things. A new website. More social media. Different messaging. A new CRM. Maybe an entirely new marketing strategy.
But what if most of your marketing is already working—and there's simply one weak link that's costing you clients?
In this episode of The Velvet Rope Playbook, I tell the story of Jonathan, a successful advisor who spent $42,000 trying to solve a marketing problem he didn't actually have. His experience illustrates a lesson that's particularly important for professionals selling high-value services: before you add more marketing, figure out exactly where your existing client-attraction process is breaking down.
I'll show you a simple way to examine the five things every business needs to turn strangers into clients—attention, interest, trust, desire and action—and identify the one area that deserves your attention.
Because sometimes the fastest way to grow isn't doing more. It's fixing the right thing.

If you're trying to attract more affluent clients, you may be looking in the wrong place. Instead of asking, "How do I meet more wealthy people?" ask a different question: "Who already has relationships with the wealthy people I want to meet?"
If you're an architect, that might be luxury real estate agents, interior designers or art advisors. If you're in healthcare, it might be wealth advisors, private clubs or luxury travel advisors. If you sell luxury products, it could be exotic car dealers, galleries or high-end real estate professionals. Different businesses, but they're serving many of the same people you want to reach.
But don't approach them asking to exchange referrals. That's immediately transactional. Instead, find a reason for them to be glad they know you. Introduce them to someone useful. Feature their expertise in one of your videos. Invite them to participate in a small event. Send them information that's genuinely valuable. Become useful before you ever ask them for anything.
Because a wealthy client might know three people who could hire you. Someone who serves wealthy clients may know 300. Become known and trusted by the right people, and eventually your name starts coming up in conversations you're not even in.
