Meet Andrew Sobel
Best-Selling Author and the Leading Authority on Building Clients for Life
Early in my consulting career, I 
noticed there were two kinds of partners at my firm:
The rainmakers, who had trusted-advisor relationships with top executives and consistently brought in tons of business; and the delivery partners, who executed the projects that the rainmakers had sold.
Guess who got the large bonuses and wielded all the influence in the company?
The same was true of my friends from business school who started their own companies: The ones who could find, develop, and keep clients saw their ventures take off.
I didn’t want to work for internal “clients” and deliver for other partners—I wanted my own, real clients. So, I resolved to figure out what made those rainmakers tick. How had they become the go-to advisors to powerful executives who frequently recommended them to their own CEO friends?
I studied the top performers at my firm, but also interviewed clients about the qualities they sought in their most trusted advisors. As I applied the techniques I was learning, I became the youngest partner at my firm at age 31, then a senior partner, and then a Country Chief Executive Officer for what had grown into a $1 billion consulting organization (Gemini Consulting)—by the time I was 36. I then started my own consulting company, and soon after wrote my first bestselling book, Clients for Life. Today, my seven commercially-published books on growing client relationships have been translated into 20 languages, and include multiple international bestsellers.
Markets, however, have grown more cutthroat. Strong client relationships are the key to your success—but they are harder than ever to build. That’s why I created Building Your Clients for Life.
I’ve taken everything I’ve learned from advising the leading service firms in the world, and from teaching and training over 50,000 successful rainmakers, and distilled it for you into this eLearning program. It lays out the essential strategies and skills you need to win more new clients, grow your existing relationships, build unshakable client loyalty, and become a trusted advisor to influential executives.

Anyone who works in some capacity with clients and customers, and aspires to build value-added, consultative relationships with them, will benefit immensely from this course. If you are in sales, professional services, client service, client relationship management, business development, and so on, this course is for you.

-
Can I enroll at any time?
I don’t offer “artificial” enrollment periods designed to create a perception of scarcity! Yes, you can self-enroll immediately and start the lessons today.
-
Can I share the course content with my colleagues and friends?
Please do tell your colleagues and friends about it, but don’t share the content with them! This would be a violation of the purchase agreement--and also unfair.
-
What if I want to go through the course with a group of my colleagues or friends?
Nearly all of my corporate clients organize their people into small learning cohorts to go through the course together, and I highly recommend this approach. If you have a group of people in mind, and your company will purchase the course for each of you, for please contact me to see if you would qualify for a volume discount as a corporate or institutional purchaser.
-
What kind of return can I expect on the cost of this course?
Nearly everyone who takes this course learns valuable lessons on how to grow their revenues through more and better client relationships. The amount of “return” in your ROI depends on how diligently you put the strategies to work in your day-to-day business. If you do, and if you practice them consistently over time, my experience is that you’ll see noticeable relationship improvements and even breakthroughs in just days and weeks. Then, if you’re like others who have taken the course, you’ll see revenue improvements in a matter of months—and, more “higher quality” revenue where you are working on your client’s most important issues and being treated like an advisor not a vendor. Remember: I offer a money-back guarantee during the first two weeks you try out the course.
-
Will I get a certificate of completion?
If you complete all of the lessons and do the Session quizzes, you will receive a Trusted Advisor Client Relationship Excellence certificate, signed by me.

Learn these strategies and skills on your own, from hard-earned experience. That works—but it takes a very, very long time, usually years. And, in your own business, you’ll never see the range of best practices that I’ve spent decades documenting in my research on the ingredients of clients for life. Why not dramatically accelerate your learning—and your income? |
Read books on this subject, or take someone else’s course. I’m a huge advocate of reading well-written books, and I’ve actually written many of the major books on building long-term client relationships, such as Clients for Life, All for One, and Power Questions. This course goes much further, however: It breaks the ideas in my books down into very practical strategies, tactics, and skills that you can apply immediately. As far as other courses go—check around. My large corporate clients, who have access to the top eLearning in the world, consistently tell me that Building Your Clients for Life is a unique resource, and that’s why they buy it for their top professionals. |
Take the Building Your Clients for Life course. This course distills down for you what I’ve learned from decades of proprietary research and my own personal consulting practice with CEOs around the globe.

Building Your Clients for Life offers you an unparalleled body of road-tested strategies and skills for succeeding with clients. |
