Borrow their expertise and ride their coattails
The I'm the expert model is great, because the products are proprietary.
So being an AFFILIATE is one way to borrow that expertise and the other, as we've discussed many times, is to be the Certifier for the use of a name. gkic (Kennedy) uses the affiliate way and Jeffrey Gitomer uses the Certification way. I agree there is NO across the board definition for a toll booth, copywriters who license their ads have one, like musicians who are paid when the song is used. Also, most experts like these have products they control, some they create and others they acquire like Kennedy did with Maxwell Maltz. No right or wrong on any of this stuff other than if it works for you. Some projects don't need two years to develop, others may take 5, all depends on your goals. Gordon PS a good toll measurement is survivor ship. When Dan goes so do the 100k consulting gigs. Phil Straw took over for Jim Straw and holds on to the toll position of having control over Jim's decades of products. So a toll preserves the legacy and continues as the expert takes his personal consulting with him and leaves behind his products, Quote:
