Q: Are you consultants? A: No. “Strategic Partners” which is a world of difference. How many consultants have the extensive menu of products, services and experience we bring to the table? Yes we provide valuable advice to our clients, but even we think the old saying can be true; that at times a consultant may be someone you pay too much to do what you could do better yourself. But actually that is a double edged sword.                 Q: Why “a double edged sword”? A: Statistically speaking very few can get where they need to go by doing it all themselves. In fact knowing when to outsource -- when to call in expert or additional help -- can be the very key to your growth. In an article I wrote for the NRB magazine I noted that most high-flyers -- really successful people-- use consultants. But like so many things, Vaughn Street views this in a unique way. We offer ourselves as Strategic Partners with a huge range of products and expertise to help you grow. I said in that article that the secret to success doesn’t lie with us alone it actually lies with the client as well. A great client working with a great strategic partner is explosive.               Q: How does this Strategic Partnership work? A: First, the Strategic part. We work with you in a few initial conferences to drill down and establish just that: how strategic is our connection and do your key decision makers see its value? Are we the right fit for you? Will our partnership produce growth and success in the areas you feel you need? Now onto Partnership. That is exactly what it is, must be, or it won’t work properly. We’ll talk about “our process” a lot. Our so-called “formula” for success is pretty basic at one level, terribly intimidating at others. We have to have a great relationship with our clients and their staff and we have to all be committed to the vision, the goals. This can take on many different faces, but ultimately if you view us as “just advice” or “just another vendor” the value decreases. We certainly don’t dictate, we share. We take command at agreed upon levels. We team up with you, and look to you and your people as we join together working toward a common goal. Part of the secret is creating momentum with our collective resources.                 Q: So what’s the secret, the magic bullet that will give us success? A: I wont go into our process here, but if there is a “secret” to the formula, I would say it is simply the will to follow through. So many people say they want these things, but few have the calling, sense of purpose or sheer will to see it through, to execute. We’ll execute if you have these things.                       Q: What process do you follow? Do you have a proven “formula”? A: We have a process. We review it in the initial meetings with the client and go as deeply into it as they desire. Some hardly care and others are keenly interested. When you dig into it, it is not for the faint of heart or casual observer. It is part art, part science and is based upon years of doing all this at various levels. It gives people a sense of confidence when they see you have a system in place; proven processes. Is it perfect, fast, easy & 100% guaranteed? No, no-one’s is. And if it were we could package it as a software program, sell it for $99.00 and everyone would be tomorrow’s mega success story. It’s not that easy, nor should it be. High achievers are always willing to earn their levels of success.                       Q: Can I get some client references and samples of your work? A: Our clients are wonderful and we encourage you to contact anyone you’d like. You can find testimonials here on the site. If you’d like samples, there is a nice slideshow with 100 samples on this site as well. And we are happy to send out product samples and sample contracts to those who qualify.                       Q: How much will it cost? A: That’s a loaded question isn’t it? We have smaller clients who start with several thousand dollars and we build from there. We also have sizable clients who spend much more simply because they see tremendous value in the return on their investment.                       Q: How do I get started? A: It’s easy. The majority of people who contact to us are referred by our happy clients. However there is a very helpful questionnaire on our site. It takes about five minutes to do and it will benefit you. You can call us once you’ve completed it and we will be happy to set up a time to speak with you. Or you may send it and we will contact you; whichever is good for you.
