Peter Roper "The Family Business Man"
Having a Family Business is wonderful, but you must work in a different way to achieve the results you are searching for.
Peter was in your shoes, frustrated with social media and endless poor networking events with no results… and even gave up at one point.
But when he finally cracked the challenge, he obtained the Family Business he always wanted enabling him to fill the fridge , sleep at night and work with those clients he Knew, Liked and Trusted.
And now, he mainly works with family businesses showing them the secrets he uncovered so that his system can start working for them too…
…and He’d love to help you crack the challenge for you and your family.
Having worked with businesses around the globe 🌍 Peter realised there are 3 main challenges you and others have when generating leads for a Family Business:
❌ Working with clients that have a poor attitude and are terrible to create a relationship with
❌ Providing a service to people who don’t value you or your contribution
❌ Constantly haggling over the price and payment
To solve these challenges, Peter teaches a simple 5 step system that helps you:
✔️ Understand the type of Ideal Client you really want
