What is a Seminar-in-a-Box?

The Seminar-in-a-Box is just that: A complete, turnkey seminar that will allow you to deliver a professional, unique presentation to women. We call it “Seminar-in-a-Box” because it has everything you need—from a complete workshop script, to special gifts to give to attendees, to note cards, to workbooks, to a PowerPoint presentation to training DVDs—right in the box.

This two-hour seminar, Secrets of Successful High Earners™, was developed by Barbara Stanny, the leading authority on women and money. You can offer the seminar to attract new clients, or enhance your relationship with existing clients. The seminar can also be used as a revenue stream by charging a fee to participants.

What comes in Secrets of Successful High Earners™ Seminar-in-a-Box?

Here’s what you’ll receive with Seminar-in-a-Box:

  • An annotated/training DVD where Barbara personally guides you through the workshop and offers important tips and suggestions to ensure your success
  • A DVD of Barbara facilitating the workshop in front of a live audience of women so you can experience it as one of the audience members
  • Leader’s Guide—a complete script of the workshop
  • A professionally designed 64-slide PowerPoint presentation
  • 24 workbooks for attendees
  • 24 note cards specially designed for one of the exercises
  • Seminar-inspired gifts: A copy of Overcoming Underearning®, a My Stretches journal, and an affirmation card
  • Complete instructions for accessing online marketing templates, including a press release, advertising, invitations and follow-up letters

There are plenty of packaged workshops available. What makes this one different?

The topic itself, Secrets of Successful High Earners™, is unique and takes a totally fresh approach to helping empower women financially, focusing on the “inner work” rather than just the nuts-and-bolts external approach. It’s highly interactive with lots of discussion and experiential exercises.

We know that women connect with the message. The intimacy of the conversation creates a professional bond with participants. Women leave the seminar feeling motivated and ready to take action, which means a high number of consultations for you. Note: Don’t worry if you’re not a highly experienced facilitator – we provide you with a training DVD to ensure you’ll be successful.

Are there any special requirements for presenting this material?

No. Whether you’re an experienced presenter or a novice, we’ve designed a complete, turnkey seminar that gives you all the tools you’ll need to deliver a high-quality, professional seminar. We do, however, recommend that you have a passion for working with women!

How can this seminar be used?

Used as a marketing tool, it’s an exceptional way to distinguish yourself from other professionals. Invite your current female clients as a way of enhancing your relationship with them. Or, use the seminar to attract new clients with its distinctive message of financial empowerment.

Licensees might choose to charge a fee to attend the seminar and use it as a revenue stream. For example, licensees have charged $25-$50 per person, with attendees providing feedback that the fee was an excellent value. Also, licensees will have an opportunity to purchase other books, CDs and products featuring the work of Barbara Stanny at a discounted cost, to sell to seminar attendees at your presentation.

Will I have an exclusive license or territory?

No. If a company is interested in licensing the rights of this material as a specific program, they should contact us at (360) 385-0600 or email admin@barbarastanny.com.

What’s the best format for presenting the seminar?

This two-hour seminar can be offered with a lunch, dinner, wine and hors d’oeuvres or coffee and dessert. However, we’ve found that this topic is so compelling to women that they eagerly attend without such incentives. Licensees have found success in co-presenting with a complementary professional—for example, a financial advisor could team with a personal coach or with a small business consultant.

Included in the Seminar-in-a-Box is a DVD where you can watch Barbara facilitate a live workshop. After watching this DVD, we’re confident that you’ll have a clear sense of the format that will work best for you.

Is it strictly a two-hour seminar?

The seminar can be modified to be slightly longer or shorter than the two hours, depending on your needs.

Who is the ideal audience for this seminar?

The message of financial empowerment appeals to most women. The seminar has been well received by women of all age groups, backgrounds and income levels.

I’m a financial adviser. If this seminar is being marketed to women who want to earn more money, will those women have money to invest?

Women are eager to close the income gap with men, and are hungry for the tools to do so. Even high earning women are looking to make more money. This workshop has been well received by all age groups and across all income levels.

Will I be able to sell my products during my presentation?

We encourage product sales that support this journey to financial empowerment and taking control of their lives. You can offer any of your products, Barbara’s books and products or any other resources you feel would help your attendees along this path. This seminar is meant to help you build relationships with prospective and current clients and was designed so women leave feeling motivated, ready to take action by booking an appointment with you. We discourage any high-pressure sales approach that could distract from this purpose.
