The program has been developed under the guidance of Alan Weiss with his endorsement and includes the following three core sessions.

Session 1: How to Acquire Clients
Based on Alan Weiss’s acclaimed book by the same name and illustrated throughout by Kahan’s personal experience from over ten years of applying these principles, this session will cover:

- Identifying targets of opportunity.
- Building relationships with economic buyers.
- Rebutting objections once and for all.
- The best acquisition sources.
- Techniques for the successful practitioner.

Participants will emerge from this session with a tight, focused strategy for targeting and acquiring new clients through new, repeat, and referral business.

Session 2: Value-Based Fees
Based on Alan Weiss's landmark book that explains clearly how to move from mediocre to exceptional in a consultant’s ability to generate value and charge for it, Kahan will drive these points home with his real life experience putting these tenets into practice. Topics will include:

- The lunacy of times-and-materials models.
- How to establish enthusiasm for value-based fees.
- How to convert existing clients.
- Fee progression strategies.

Attendees will finish this session with a clear action plan for raising fees, zeroing in on value that clients will gladly pay for, and taking their practice to the next level in the fee progression strategy.

Session 3: How to Write a Proposal That’s Accepted Every Time
End forever the time-consuming and often frustrating process of writing a consulting proposal. Henman will explain the step-by-step process participant’s will want to implement, the nine key components of a Million Dollar Proposal, and the Golden Rules for presenting it. As a result of this session, attendees will be able to:

- Write specific objectives, measures, and value statements.
- Present options for achieving the objectives.
- Move toward conceptual agreement.
- Write a proposal that will be accepted.

Kahan says, "This is an extraordinary event. The material we are going to cover will cut your learning curve dramatically and help you earn more faster than you can imagine. The cost of this workshop will pay for itself in a month or two and generate annualized income increases that will reward participants for perpetuity."
