Pure NLP® (original) (raw)
You have likely been visiting other NLP sites and reading their materials to help you make a good decision that can change your life for the better or worse. Your outcome depends on making a significant decision now and in the future.
We also visit other sites to understand what others are offering. Usually, this results from people coming to us to fill in the gaps in the training they have received from those institutes. Let me tell you about who we are and what we do so you better understand why we are chosen over others to provide top-quality training. This training builds upon your results over time.
Growing up, you may have played a game called "telephone" or "whisper down the alley." Both games pass along a message sequentially, from the first person in line to the last person. The message changes from person to person who gives it down the line until that message bears little semblance of the original as it is delivered to the last person. Why is that game important to you?
Simply put, all other institutes are passing down a message created by Dr. Richard Bandler, one of the Co-creators of NLP. Our message is delivered by Dr. Bandler himself and those he has personally chosen
to deliver that message as co-trainers. John and Kathleen La Valle have trained hand in hand with Dr. Bandler for nearly 40 years, providing the best training anywhere. Delivering the pure version of NLP. The
original intent is unaltered.
So, how do other institutes measure up to that pure intent considering they deliver a message from someone else? In some cases, they may be providing a statement that they heard someone else give as a bystander, or worse yet, they have learned it from a trainer who had a trainer who had a trainer who may have trained with Richard Bandler. Since they cannot deliver the level of training you receive from us, they have added other marketing and sales tricks to appear to offer something that seems similar.
Let's explore some of that frivolous fluff:
They will use the infomercial approach BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE…
Here is a common tactic other Institutes use to "help" sweeten the pot in their favor. That's right THEIR favor. For example, they may offer you multiple Certifications for the price of one. The question you should ask is, do those certificates equal skills that you can use, or are they pieces of paper the Institute will use to upsell you on the "advanced" version of those Certificates?
Well, now that you have the first level of Blah, Blah, Blah it only makes sense that you continue down that path and get to the next level certificate. Getting the next-level certificate is as simple as providing your credit card.
Does this make you a "Jack of All Trades"? Because while you may be a "Jack of All Trades," you will likely be a master of none.
They will throw in Free Internet marketing templates or sales scripts…
Their claim here is that you can use these to kick-start your own training business. Not everyone wants a training institute. Will they provide templates for business consulting, coaching, or any other path that you may decide? NLP is a meta technology, and you can apply it to any field. So, unless you want to compete against your trainer, they provide you with nothing of value. And let's say you do want to start a training business, what are you getting? Keep in mind that all their students will get those same materials, and you can guarantee that those materials will leak to people outside the trainer's students. The more those materials become widely available, the less they are worth. They become less effective as you compete against your trainer and all the people who use those materials. You have no brand recognition, no brand name, and no backing other than a generic certificate issued by your competitor. This is like buying a McDonald's franchise, except it would be called "Generic Burger". You still have to do all the heavy lifting without the support of a recognized brand to back you. The truth is that without the skills, you have nothing to sell to other than a generic certification.
They try to persuade you to Become a Monthly Member…
You may as a monthly member of what? If your training institute is suggesting that you give them monthly fees, that means that they did not deliver on their promises to start. You did not get what you paid for, and now you have to pay more. There is a reason that we do not offer a subscription model.
We deliver on what we promise in the live training you attend with us.
They will try to convince you that Virtual learning is a substitute for live training…
Really?
· Why can you not become a licensed aircraft pilot by only training on a simulator?
· Why can you not become a credentialed teacher without being a student teacher in a classroom supervised by a certified teacher?
· Why can you not become a doctor without going through residency? Treating patients under the watchful eye of a practicing Physician?
We can go on citing examples, and you get the idea. Virtual learning is not training. It is teaching. You can gain helpful information which does not fulfill the most critical steps. Having a "Licensed Trainer" helping you in person provides real-time feedback in a real-world situation, helping you be more successful in the real world
.
Remember, when you sign up for other Institutes' training, you get something watered down and not pure in intent or content. They focus on selling lots of "extras" that have little value to you and lots of potential income for them. These Institutes are certificate mills. It is about producing many certificates backed by programs that are less than adequate for the future you deserve.
Your money and, more importantly, your skills and future are on the line. Now that you know, the choice is yours.
Choose wisely!
