The "Plus" in Mentor Plus has always stood for the "tools" we provide our program attendees. We believe
"Education without Action is just Entertainment"
Our tools make all the difference between just learning about something conceptually and actually implementing new services. We don't charge an arm and a leg for our tools - In fact, we don't charge anything - they are included! Nor do we just give you random pieces of the consulting puzzle you then have to sort out and put together yourself. We know that when you struggle to implement, you end up with buyer's remorse and that isn't good for you or for Mentor Plus.
We have a different, more of a win-win approach. . .
By including our Tool Set with the Mind Set and Skill Set you receive at our training, your odds of success are much higher. We are focused on helping you get up and running with your new service offerings as soon as possible. Why?
1) There is a direct correlation between your success and the amount of time it takes following the training to meet with your clients. The sooner, the better. If you have to create tools from scratch it could be months later (not to mention, more expensive) before you get out the door. Meanwhile, you have lost some of your motivation and knowledge gained at the training
2) An average Mentor Plus style practitioner can expect a 5-10 times ROI in the first year. This makes it easy to justify investing further in your firm's professional development, which we are more than happy to help you with :-)
3) We know that you are far more likely to leverage your training to others if you have a standardized service protocol to follow. As opposed to many programs where one person becomes the "firm expert" and they are the only one who can provide the service, we know the faster you involve others in your efforts, the greater your chance of success. Partially because, getting others involved holds you accountable to the program. The other reason . . . we believe your team holds the key to long-term sustainable success.

Bottom line, it just makes good business sense to give you everything you'll need to succeed right from the start with the $COPE
Certified Advisor Program. Then, once you have had a taste of success, you'll know whether or not you want to invest the time and effort to reshape your entire practice around advisory services. Those that have gotten bitten by the Mentor Plus advisory bug will tell you that it takes just a few months to make your investment back and about 2 years of extended learning to really master the Skill Set. The $COPE Certified Advisor Program has been designed around an extended learning model to accelerate your development from
Mentor to Certified Advisor.
