Here’s how you can arrange a Sales Mastermind Day with Alan, in your area!
Why organize a Mastermind Day?

Alan Berg CSP Chicago Mastermind

Having Alan come for private training is great for your business, but not everyone’s budget can afford it, so a Mastermind Day is a great alternative. Unlike a conference, your One-Day Mastermind is a full-day of collaboration, consultation and co

nversation. You and the other attendees, your industry friends and contacts, will leave with action steps on how to improve their sales process and websites, and many have already past attendees have implemented some of the ideas while still at the Mastermind Day.

“ Well, he’s done it again… we’ve had Alan in for 2 years now to Mastermind with our vendors and help them with everything from customer service to closing the deal. He’s worth every penny and that’s not me saying that – that comes from my vendors who come to the conference.” – Stacey Blackwell, NM Wedding Guide, Albuquerque, NM

Click to see the 4 Easy Steps, including pricing:

Step 1: Gather the participants

Reach out to local businesses who you think would not only want to participate, but would have something to contribute… you know, “friendors”.  The cost for the Mastermind Day is $8,500 plus Alan’s air and hotel (2 nights). The cost per participant will depend upon how many you invite (see #4). I’ve done these with from 4 to 10 businesses. Try for no more than about 20 people in total (with fewer businesses they can bring more people from each company; with more, they can usually bring 1 or 2 per business). As the organizer, you can decide to participate in the cost, or spread it among the participating companies, your choice. Your group can be all in the same category (venues, DJs, bridal shops, etc.) or a mixed group (which is the case with most of Alan’s Masterminds). That’s up to you. Eitehr works well.

Step 2: Secure a location for the event

Figure how many participants and how many each business will/can bring, and figure seating for that many. It can be an office, a restaurant or other venue. For small groups, a board room setup will work. For larger groups, a “U-shape” of classroom tables is best, so everyone can see one another.

Step 3: Arrange the logistics

Since we’ll be there most of the day, we’ll need snacks, beverages and a light lunch (we’ve had everything from salads to pizza, sandwiches to a full plated meal). You’ll also need to have either a projector/screen, or large flat screen TV, plus a wi-fi connection (and power cables for laptops), so I can look at your websites and other collateral.

Step 4: Contact Alan about date availability:

Mastermind Days run $8,500 for the day plus Alan’s air and hotel (2 nights). If it’s easier for budgeting, Alan can do a flat $9,750 inclusive of hotel and air. If Alan’s already in your area, you can save on his travel costs. International Mastermind Days’ pricing is subject to the travel requirements.

“ 3 Words: Knowledgeable, Generous, Entertaining. No wait, 4 words: Experienced. Ok, so, 5: Valuable. Thanks, Alan. You’re an incredible resource. Wait, that makes 6 words! – Holly Verbeck, Hey Chef!, Truckee, CA

How is a Mastermind Day different than a conference?

Great question. Your Mastermind Day will be more of a conversation than a presentation. With a small group it’s easier for Alan to facilitate a discussion where everyone is participating. You not only get his world-class expertise, but also the shared knowledge and experience of the other participants. Whether seasoned pros, or industry newcomers, everyone has something to contribute.

How many businesses can we have for our Mastermind Day or Strategic Roundtable?

This can be anywhere from 1 other business, up to around 10 total. Alan’s Wedding & Event Sales Mastermind Days are more conversation, than presentation, so having more than that will start to feel more like a conference. The sweet-spot is 6 to 8 businesses, 10 to 15 participants (but we can do up to around 20+/-).

How long is a Sales Mastermind Day?

Typically running from 9:30am until around 4/4:30pm, Mastermind Day times will be customized to your groups needs and area. To get in as much learning and sharing as possible, your group should either arrange for a light lunch on site, or to have it brought in. Those are part of the logistics you’ll discuss with Alan when arranging your Mastermind Day or Strategic Roundtable.

What will it cost to have our Mastermind Day?

Domestic Mastermind Days are $7,500 per day plus Alan’s hotel (2 nights) and airfare (unless you’re lucky enough to schedule your Mastermind Day while Alan is already in your area for another event, which could save you a little). Suggested ticket prices per company range from $795 to $995, depending upon how many people you allow with each ticket. Want Alan to help with pricing tickets?

How do I get my I Mastered the Mastermind Day Swag Bag?

That’s easy! Just gather together your industry friends and colleagues and arrange a Mastermind Day with Alan. You do the organizing of participants, find the venue, arrange for the food and beverages, etc. Then, Alan will personally deliver your “I Mastered the Mastermind Day” Swag Bag to you when he comes for your Mastermind Day. 

Do the businesses have to be in the same category? (i.e. all DJs, or caterers, or planners…?)

Absolutely not. The topics that you’ll discuss are universally applied to all businesses. Alan will tailor the exact topics to the particular group. That said, if all of the participants are from the same category, the content can be more narrowly focused to that industry.

Can I have Alan do a Mastermind Day just for my staff?

Yes, of course. That’s his Private Sales Training service it’s much more focused on your needs. Want to find out more? Email Alan, text, use the short form on this page, or call 732.422.6362, international 001 732 422 6362

What are the format and seating arrangements?

To facilitate group conversation it can be a conference room or just a large table. For larger groups a ‘U’ shaped setup works well. You’ll need either a projector/screen, or large flat-screen TV, and a wi-fi connection so Alan can access your websites and any presentation materials.

Who pays for Alan's travel?

If you can arrange your Mastermind Day for when Alan is already in your area, or you’re within driving distance of New Jersey, you can save on his airfare. Depending upon the timing, you’ll also cover one or two nights of hotel. Unless Alan is driving to your city, he’ll need ground transportation to/from the venue.

Do the businesses all have to be in the wedding & event industry?

No, while Alan typically speaks and trains in the wedding industry, the ideas are focused on business, not craft, so they do apply to other businesses. If you have a specific business in mind, and you aren’t sure, just contact Alan and ask. Being a professional, he’ll tell you whether this format is, or isn’t appropriate for your group.
