Mark AndreskyJohn,?Hope you are doing well and that "company name" is continuing to grow and develop as you had hoped.??Now that time has passed since our initial planning work together, it is often helpful to update the business valuation and revisit some of the many transition options we considered.? Many of my clients have been pleasantly surprised by recent increases in market multiples and the implications of robust market conditions on their transition planning.??Please let me know when I can add value to you and "company name" in the future.?Thanks,MarkComing Out Letter to Clients – from Joseph?We both know that you’ve got a big secret. Keeping this secret is actually holding you back, and you might not realize it. I propose that you emancipate yourself from the pressure of keeping this big secret. Once you stop holding onto this secret, you will feel liberated! How wonderful do you think that will feel??What’s the secret, you ask?You know the secret. You’ve been holding onto it as long as you’ve known me. When you told me your big secret, I promised that your secret is safe with me. I want you to know that it still is, just in case you can’t reveal your big secret.I think it’s time that you come out, so to speak.?Oh, not that kind of coming out. I’ve done that kind of coming out. In fact, I empathize that coming out with such a big secret is tough. When I came out, it was a much bigger deal than you coming out with your big secret. No one will reject you for coming out with your big secret.You know the secret I’m talking about.?The secret is that you are working with me. On one level, it’s wonderful that you want to keep me as such a big secret. It means that you highly value our relationship. And, you know how much I value and appreciate our relationship, too. But, on another level, keeping such a big secret suggests shame or embarrassment that you work with a world-class expert. Keeping such a big secret holds you back from shining as brightly as you ing out with this secret to your friends creates stronger bonds, gifting them the opportunity to know you even better. Your openness to share is a gift that may even help them to alleviate issues similar to ones you had.?I would love to talk with you briefly by phone about how to drop the secret. In fact, I’ve prepared something special that you can share with your friends to make it super easy. Can we plan a call <this week > to discuss?From Robert D.Hi Patrick,It’s hard to believe that it’s been six years since we worked together when you were a Sales Manager at PulsePoint. And now you are the Founder of FRESHtechCONNECT. This doesn’t surprise me given your drive and ambition. How are you enjoying being the Founder so far?I’ve been using a new innovative coaching approach called Immunity to Change with great success. It quickly uncovers how the leader unconsciously puts “the brakes” on attaining leadership development goals despite their best efforts. With this new awareness, they can take their foot off “the brakes” and step on the gas.?A very cool process.Since we’ve worked together in the past and your extensive leadership experience, I’d be interested in your thoughts about this highly effective coaching approach.What does your schedule look like for a 20-30 minute coffee? I’m downtown Monday or Wednesday of next week could stop by your office if you have time then. If not, please let me know when you're open the following week.?Best regards,RobertDeborah GalukHi, Name,?I hope you’re having a great summer! Time is zipping by – it’s been quite a while since we last connected, (complete this for each person)?The latest on my end is I’m pulling together some new ways to support talented, bright small business owners (like you!) I am wondering if you could help me out by taking a quick 3-minute survey because then I can get a better understanding of the real challenges you face.?Thank you in advance - I appreciate your insights and advice you share with me. Here is the link to my short survey. (link here) Thank you!?My best,?DeborahDensie CorcoranHi Eric,?Since our hour long conversation about a month ago regarding scaling Zoom’s strong culture to a $1B and beyond, I’ve not been able to stop thinking about 2 specific comments you made that has spurred my thinking about your situation.?The first comment was your concern about being “too paranoid” what might go wrong as you scale.? The second was your desire to be more like Mark Zuckerberg in your aggressiveness to grow Zoom faster.?As mentioned in our conversation, I specialize in helping rapidly growing companies develop the leadership and organizational capacity that drives double/triple digit growth without the pitfalls. ?I have found in working with companies like yours, that increasing a leader’s cognitive capacity – ie.,?how a leader thinks, not what a leader thinks – is what drives bigger, faster results that conventional methods can’t achieve.?I have no doubt in my mind that the key to scaling Zoom faster while maintaining a “healthy paranoia” of the pitfalls is your cognitive leadership style/capacity (and possibly of your leadership team).??Interested in learning more???If so, let’s schedule a 20 minute conversation.? I am available next Wed. 7/19 or Thurs. 7/20.? If those don’t work, let me know alternatives.Warmly,DeniseEileen UngerSubject Line: Yikes, how long has it been?Hi Martin,Hope that all is well with you and your family. The last time I saw you your son was headed off to medical school and you were still the Director of System Ops. How are you enjoying your assignment on the generation side of the business? I saw that you guys reached a new system peak during the June heat wave.I’ve been working on an approach to streamline the exercise development process that I think will really help utilities that don’t have a full time person dedicated to emergency preparedness and storm restoration.? Since we’ve worked together in the past on several initiatives for your organization, I’d be interested in your thoughts about this alternative approach.What does your schedule look like for a 15 – 20 minute call? I’m available Tuesday or Wednesday of next week if you have time then. If not, please let me know when you're open the following week.?Regards,EileenSteve BeamanSubject: How do You raise up the next generation of leaders in your business?As we have been working together for a number of years I have been impressed with your leadership style and your commitment to your business. I find that not all business owners treat their employees as part of the family. They know that you value their contributions.?As your business grows you have more people stepping into leadership roles. How prepared are they for the position? What skills and behaviors do they need to have?I'd like to share some ideas with you on how your next generation of leaders can become much more successful. Worth a conversation??Just get back to me by email with your thoughts and then we can set up a time to chat.?The best, Steve BeamanAminaHi?N!Thanks for your message back.Helen Isacke mentioned that you might be thinking of making changes to your current career/life.

The process would work like this:In a short e-mail or conversation you would say, I know from past conversations that you’ve had some issues with your business.? (Here, you could reference something specific they’ve shared with you, like feeling stuck and not knowing how to move forward, or not being able to attract enough customers/clients, or not sure why their competitors are doing better than they are.)?I think I may be able to help you with that.? I worked with Alan Siege as my business consultant and he specializes in working with small businesses who are struggling with the same issues.?
