“” on many of our company names and titles).<br />

Those tools include legally defining associations, franchises, area exclusives,<br />

as well as trademarks and patents on your systems and processes,<br />

so that nobody can take your ideas and make them their own.<br />

And people have to come to you to avail themselves of those ideas.<br />

We utilized many of those tools, including name trademark, association<br />

structure and certification, to form an entire network of industry<br />

experts under our America’s PremierExperts ® banner. If you want to be<br />

an official PremierExpert ® or CelebrityExpert ® and get all the perks of<br />

that status, only we can make that happen. That not only allows us to<br />

control the standards and quality of this membership, but it also helps<br />

identify ourselves as leaders in the branding industry.<br />

And there’s absolutely no reason you can’t do the same in your industry,<br />

whatever it might be. A client of ours, Lisa Miller, spent a decade<br />

building her company whose emphasis is on helping hospitals cut<br />

costs – definitely a necessary business in this day and age. Now, she’s<br />

expanding her expertise into other areas, and to that end, we helped<br />

her form the National Association of Expense Reduction Professionals<br />

using the legal tools we discussed earlier. She will train and certify others<br />

in her specialty, making her the de facto leader in a new and very<br />

in-demand field.<br />

Creating your own coaching and mastermind groups is another popular<br />

way to position yourself as the expert in your field and share your<br />

knowledge. For example, Ben Glass, a very successful attorney in the<br />

Washington, DC area, has created his own organization for attorneys<br />

under the banner of Great Legal Marketing. Ben coaches and trains<br />

these attorneys how to use his own successful brand of marketing to<br />

bring in more businesses for their legal practice. He has built into his<br />

training: seminars, newsletters, mastermind group training and private<br />

coaching – all targeted to his niche field. This same business model has<br />

been successfully done in almost all other industries and the expansion<br />

possibilities are endless.<br />

You can also create special events within your core client-base that<br />

helps bond them to your business. In the past year, we’ve combined<br />

specialized training programs with “can’t miss” events such as The<br />
