"A fabulous five days….filled with unlimited, hard-driving, highly actionable, highly valued outcomes. Your intense focus on the growth of my practice, which began with your 'Good morning, Joe' on the first day, was so personally empowering. Your five-day college will bring to me a lifetime of measurable growth. Thank you so very much!"

"Alan takes the puzzle out of consulting and turns it into a masterpiece. Once again, Alan shows that by giving yourself the best (The Million Dollar Consulting College) you can give the best to your clients. This college should be accredited for an actual degree."

"The College inspired me to pursue my dream to be an outstanding consultant, including work outside of my current marketplace. Our learning process was highly interactive from the first 15 minutes making it an exciting and provocative experience. I successfully negotiated over $50,000 of new business immediately, based on what I practiced the very first day. I left with a renewed spirit and a much more effective plan to move to the next level."

"You can read Alan Weiss's books and listen to his CDs; however, they pale in comparison to the Million Dollar Consulting College experience. Additional value springs from elite professional peers. They reward you with their input, their follow-up, and the referrals of new business sources. Bring your high expectations to the college--they will be exceeded."

"A week-long investment with a lifetime of return. Not only was the content beneficial, but but the opportunity to test ideas, work through exercises, and generally network with those of similar practices was invaluable."

"Talk about return on investment. I felt I got my tuition back from the preparation work alone. My change in presentation for two new clients provided a fee more in line with the value I was delivering, and covered the entire college investment. In addition, the College allowed me to dramatically change my business model."

"Experiencing Alan's value-based fee process has enabled me to improve the way I relate to prospects and clients, and enables my clients to better appreciate my value and accept my fees. The ROI from participation in the College has been substantial in many ways: increased clients and higher fees; increased self-esteem; increased power of language. Well worth the investment of time and money."

"With over twenty years of consulting experience, I wondered what I could get from the Million Dollar College. The short answer…plenty! Alan’s practical advice for handling the mundane, no-nonsense insight for resolving the more complex, along with his humor and concern for each member of the group provides an educational, professional and emotional lift for even the most seasoned consultant."

"Twenty years ago I attended medical school in Boston learning to think like a doctor; this year I attended the Million Dollar Consulting College in Boston learning to think like a business person. Thanks, Alan, for teaching this old dog new tricks. I'm off to fetch the economic buyer."

"I joined the Alan Weiss Mentor Group a year ago. In one short year Alan has helped me to grow my business at an accelerated rate. The Million Dollar Consulting College has had a profound impact on me personally and professionally. If you are concerned about ROI, let me assure you that for me “ROI” was instant! And not only financially but holistically. My quality of life has immediately and dramatically increased as a result of the learning and insights I’ve had from Alan in the week long programme. Would I recommend this programme? Unreservedly! Would I do it again? In a heartbeat! This could be the most important investment you make in your business and in yourself."

"Alan's Million Dollar Consulting College represents a major investment -- the cost being the smallest part, since I also invested an entire week of my time. Having just finished the week, I can't yet say what my return will be.
But I can say:
- I have answers to critical questions and, more importantly, approaches to finding such answers, that I didn't have before.
- I have exceptional focus on my goals and direction going forward.
- I understand how I might actually build a million-dollar business in a relatively short time. "Million Dollar Consulting" is not hype. I talked to two other people at the college who've rapidly multiplied the size of their business well into six figures as a result of working with Alan.
Alan's great appeal to me is that he's "constructively tough." He's like the trainer or coach who pushes and challenges you to get better -- as opposed to a touchy-feely type who coddles people to make them feel good. At the same time, Alan is deeply motivated by helping others and giving back to his profession. For me, it's a perfect combination.
In addition, he attracts very high level people. I benefited from rubbing shoulders, exchanging ideas and getting to know a room full of remarkable consultants and entrepreneurs during the college.
So I don't yet know what the payoff will be. But I have a well focused plan, excellent tools for achieving it, and great confidence going forward -- plus access to Alan for the next six months for course corrections and tactical input. What more could I ask?"
