A running record of ELP and CEOA working sessions with John. Each card in the gallery below is one meeting: its date, attendees, decisions, and action items.
Reviewing and refining the pitch assets for upcoming prospects (Christina, Chad, Jim, Eric, Rob). Three documents worked through: the ELP offer deck, Meta-Intelligence, and the One-Day Immersion.
John Anderson, Ethan Brace, Bob Evett
Key Decisions
Two versions of the ELP offer. Keep an "ELP Owner" version and add an "ELP Executive" version for non-owners like Christina who sit on the exec team. Both live on one page for easy selection.
Meta-Intelligence headline: adopt "What got you here won't get you there." Drop all "retire" language.
New Meta-Intelligence visual: a Venn of four interlocking circles (financial and emotional solid, natural intelligence and AI dotted) with Meta-Intelligence at the center. Preserve the "return on integration" play on ROI.
De-emphasize AI as the hook. This audience is saturated with AI talk. Lead with integration and frameworks: integrate AI without saying anything about AI.
Analogy: go with river-rafting over surfing-the-wave. It is more team-focused, less fear-based, and offers more to work with (guide, supplies, rapids, roles). Possibly open with a dramatic class-5 rapids image or clip.
One-Day Immersion: strip all 3-year and 36-month references, set pricing at $17,500 per year, keep "where to begin, start with one session," and add "One day to finish what most leaders circle for a decade." Put the easy-to-start pitch at the end (prove value first).
Sales motion: encourage prospects to start with the one-day immersion rather than the full program. It mirrors the CEOA tune-up on-ramp and lowers the commitment hurdle. Applies to all new prospects except Christina.
Christina: John calls her first, then sends the existing owner ELP version. She has already seen a rougher version via Eric.
Pricing hold: keep $17,500 for warm prospects and Christina. John needs the buffer to cover travel.
Action Items
EthanUpdate the One-Day Immersion doc: remove 3-year and 36-month references, set price to $17,500 per year, keep "start with one session," add the "one day to finish what most leaders circle for a decade" line.
JohnTake the cleaned-up Meta-Intelligence start and rewrite the language personally. Draft the story beats once the content is right.
JohnCall Christina, then send her the ELP owner version.
John / MollySource river-rafting imagery or a dramatic rapids clip.
JohnFine-tune One-Day Immersion language; decide whether "start with one session" becomes its own section or a two-path single section.
TeamGet Meta-Intelligence into shareable shape to send to Chad by end of month.
