Hey, and welcome to the Rainmaker family.
I am so proud of you for making this powerful decision for you.
This is one of those things I've had people come out to me
months into the journey and say, like,
I'm almost completely unrecognizable
because of the transformation I've gone on
in this entrepreneurial journey.
And you have just taken a powerful step in that direction.
I feel like the transformation
even is in the transaction sometimes.
Like, even that transaction for some of you
of saying, like, I'm gonna invest myself,
like, that was transformative.
So I just wanna take a second and just applaud you,
say, way to go, and tell you what's coming next.
So you're about to enter into
what we call the foundations phase, okay?
The foundations phase is crucial for you, for your success.
Okay, and what's really cool about the foundations phase
is you get access to a lot of the mastermind.
Okay, so you're gonna get access to our training portal.
That's our full course, right?
You're gonna get access to our AI 24-7 available coach.
She has attended all the coaching calls.
She has watched all the training materials,
and you can ask her any questions.
And so she's a great place to shortcut your success,
to find what you need,
and she'll actually give you references
if you wanna go deeper, right?
You're also gonna get access to our coaching calls.
These happen Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,
and Friday currently with our six- and seven-figure
expert Amazon sellers.
They cover the topics of mindset, product research,
sourcing, innovation, manufacturing,
preparing for your launch, launching, PPC.
Like these calls cover it all, and each day is themed.
Okay, don't worry, you don't need to be on every call,
but I want you to know you have immediate access to those.
So if you're brand new to this journey, hop on the Tuesday.
I would recommend probably the Monday call
and the Tuesday call.
The Monday call is our mindset Mondays.
We typically bring in expert guest trainers,
or we have, you know, Melissa or me going deep
because mindset is one of those things
that's gonna be truly driving transformation for you.
And then Tuesdays is our product research days,
and you're probably in the thick of product research
right now, so you're gonna wanna be on those calls,
even if you're just listening,
because the more you listen, you soak this in,
the more you're gonna be learning the language.
You're also gonna get access in this foundations phase
to our foundations private Slack channel.
If you've never used Slack before,
it's like a messaging app, it's like a communication app.
You can have it on your phone, you can have it
on your computer, and you're gonna get access
to this foundations phase, and we actually have
some of our coaches in there as well,
like our Amazon coaches in there.
And really this foundations phase is there
for you to really focus on product research.
When you come into our program,
most people don't have an exact product yet,
and we really want you to start learning the core content.
We used to start people right away with working
with a coach, but we find sometimes if you bring them
in right with the coach, it's like they kind of default
to the coach, when we want you really to learn
some of the foundations, because we don't want you
to use the coach as your crutch forever.
We wanna equip you, like if you ever heard the saying
teach him to fish, don't just give him a fish,
really we wanna do that for you.
And so this foundations phase really encourages you
to start getting into the trainings,
getting into the core content.
And one of the great things we've recently implemented
from feedback from our students,
is actually delaying the start with the CSM.
If you hear that acronym CSM,
that stands for client success managers.
Now this team, they are really gonna hold your hand
and start amping up the accountability for you,
but it doesn't start right away.
So you're gonna come into this foundations phase,
that's typically three to four weeks, okay?
Where you're getting into the core content,
you're getting connected with others in the group,
you're hopping on the coaching calls, those types of things.
And then when you get paired up with your CSM,
that's when they're gonna really start holding your hand
and holding you accountable to like,
let's start hitting some milestones, right?
You probably at that point have hit some milestones,
but they're really gonna help you start hitting
those milestones, and we track those meticulously, okay?
So we know every student that's in the green,
hitting milestones at the projected timelines.
We know every student that slip into the yellows,
and the CSMs have processes to get you back to green.
And we know every student who's in the red,
who might not be responding to us.
So we have created ways to try to reach out to you,
but this does take you leaning in just as much as we are.
And what's really cool about this shift,
this is a recent shift we did to delay the CSM start,
is that you're 12 months in the mastermind, okay?
So the mastermind is technically a 12 month program,
many people will do multiple years with us,
but the 12 months, that timer actually doesn't start
until you've actually completed the foundation phase.
So once you complete the foundation phase,
you get paired up with the CSM, then your 12 months start.
So this is like bonus cherry on top time
that you get inside the mastermind.
We mark your foundations phase officially complete
when you're paired up with the CSM.
As you know, the Rainmaker mastermind is in high demand.
We have people applying for the mastermind every single day.
And what's most important to us
is not compromising the coaching experience,
your experience, or your outcomes.
And so that's why we've added this foundations phase
to really get you some of that core knowledge,
and then actually give you the bonus time
so we actually don't start the clock on your.
mastermind experience until you get paired up with that CSM.
Now with that, the cool thing is that we have our 10 K payday
promise you've probably heard about, and actually that timer
doesn't start either until you're paired up with the CSM.
So just to really quick recap, all the timelines, we have a graphic that
shows us and we'll remind you, don't worry, but you're going
into the foundations phase right now.
That's anywhere from like two to four weeks or so where you're really
diving into those foundational topics.
That's again, it does fluctuate based on our CSM availability.
And you'll see when you go through our coaching intake form, you'll see
the next available slot for CSM that you can book, and that'll be
the end of your foundations phase.
In the foundations phase though, you're still plugged in the community.
You have access to the whole training portal.
You have access to the coaching calls.
So you really get just bonus cherry on top time before you
get paired up with your CSM.
Okay.
Once you're with your client success manager, they're going to really
tracking those milestones, making sure you're on track, getting you caught up.
If you fell behind, holding you accountable, right?
They want to get you finding the product, validating product, sourcing a sample,
right, they're going to keep you in momentum.
And at that time, when you're paired up with that CSM, that's when
your actual mastermind starts.
The 12 month experience starts.
We added in client success managers into this process because we love
to really hold your hand, especially in those first months of the mastermind.
So the CSM will be with you for that eight week period.
And really it's an accelerator to get you even more plugged in, even
more in tune with the mindsets and really help you feeling on track
with those milestones, with good systems in place to continue that
momentum, even after you're done working with the CSMs, but after
you're done with working the CSMs, what's really cool is you actually
get to graduate into our greater mastermind community, connect with
even higher level seasoned sellers who are inside of that group.
And you still retain access to all the daily coaching calls with our Amazon
experts and all that amazingness.
I would encourage you during this foundation today, start diving into
the product research and being a solution or how can I thinker, right?
I know you have a bunch of questions and you're going to be able to post
those in the private Slack channel.
You're able to get feedback, but we really want you to start working through those.
So when you start working with your CSM, you have really great questions.
You have a really good foundational knowledge and you're able to go so
much further faster because you've gone through this foundational phase.
You know, if you're going to build a really tall building, you've got to
have a really healthy foundation.
And we really believe that I'm so excited to have you a part of this
program, and I am so excited to hear your story and we'll see you on the other side.
Bye.
