My guarantee to my clients is...
No cure, No Pay!
If my clients don't get the relief they seek, they don't pay me a dime. They get to decide whether they pay or not. No questions asked. I want you to offer the same guarantee. I'll guarantee your effectiveness.
Look, I didn't start out as a £2,500 per cure Master Practitioner, and neither will you. I didn't cure every person I wanted to help, and neither will you right off the bat.
If you are already an NLP Practitioner, or you are a Master NLP Practitioner, I want to speak to you about working together on building your practice. I do not require you to be certified with me for us to work together. Right now, I need English speaking practitioners to build their businesses so I can have more case-studies faster.
IF YOU ARE NOT AN NLP Practitioner...
Here's a dirty little secret: my student's results are rare among NLP practitioners. When I speak to people from other NLP training programs they always have the same complaint. They tell me: "I had a wonderful time. The trainer was inspiring and it did me a world of good, but I have no idea what to do with NLP now that I am finished with the training course." My students have the confidence in both their curative skills and how to continually have more and more clients.
I understand how selecting the right NLP training program can be a challenging process--especially with over 120 certificate programs offered in the United Kingdom alone. I can't stress the importance of a careful and thoughtful selection process enough.
First of all, not all NLP training programs are based on the authentic NLP approach--many seals of approval look similar--my approach to training is certified and licensed by Richard Bandler, the co-creator of NLP. Richard Bandler's NLP Training Program is the standard bearer for the curative and generative change industry.
If you don't see one of those exact images, it's not authentic Neuro-Lingustic Programming. NLP is not in the public domain even if nobody is coming after people who illegally copied it. Make sure that the NLP certification program you're considering is NLP-accredited by the Society of NLP.
While all accredited certification programs offer NLP training...they don't offer equal training. The longer the chain of trainers between any trainer and the original source Richard Bandler, the more parts of modern NLP are deleted, distorted and misunderstood. I was taught exclusively by Richard Bandler and I still train with him at least once a year to keep myself up to date and sharpen my skills.
I am one of the very few Master Trainers in the world Richard Bandler hand-picked for their exceptional skill. This means that of all possible NLP trainers, I'm one of the best in the world. I have done a lot of additional research & development that is only taught by me and greatly increases the effectiveness of your NLP coaching.
Most notably is my work with The Neurogram® which explains how the problems your clients face are tied to their personality. It gives you an edge, gives you insight into the hardware of your client's brain. It's a perfect companion to NLP. NLP teaches you how to use the software running on that hardware most effectively.
You might ask yourself: "Should I train with Richard Bandler?" and that is a good question. I can recommend him wholeheartedly. It's a different training from what I teach, more focused on personal growth. In every NLP certificate program, you apply everything you learn on yourself first, so personal growth is inevitable. My training trains you to become a successful coach both with clients and in business.
I go a step further than giving you the best training in curative and generative change skills. I give my students a business plan and hold their hand as they implement my repeatedly proven business model, which has a long-standing track record of success. Success not just in being able to cure a client's pain, but success in landing the clients you need to consistently grow your business as you charge more and more for your help.
In my curriculum, you begin making money about three months after we first meet. Then I work with you to build and build your business. By graduation, my unique program develops students into Master NLP Practitioners and NLP coaches who effectively lead clients where they want to go. Whether you're looking to own a full-time or part-time business, I provide a proven system for developing and building a sustainable practice.
I am committed to helping you become a professional practitioner and achieving the professional and financial success you are seeking.
Here's what it's like to be an NLP coach...
Your online calendar alerts you that somebody in pain requested a time to ask you if you can help them. They've scheduled a time you had marked as available to meet you on the phone. Most of my students have them call into what's called a bridgeline, it's a free service where you meet people on a public telephone line. I teach you a series of questions to ask them and very quickly they are either practically begging to work with you, or you realize they are not likely a person you can help profitably. I teach you how to be respectful of your own time. I teach you how to present your fee in such a way that clients you can help are most likely to say yes.
You work quickly. You spend three sessions with each client. Your clients' problems are resolved usually in a single session, plus I recommend two follow-up sessions to cement the change.
If you're like others who have become successful NLP practitioners, the choice is already feeling right to you for any number of reasons. You likely are beginning to see NLP is a way for you to positively impact the lives of others.
Not everybody is a good fit for the benefit of the entire class. We all learn together. I want to speak with you personally to answer your questions and ensure you appear to me as somebody who works well in a group learning environment.
How many ways does this already resemble you?
o Friends usually come to you for advice.
o You help people feel better.
o You value transformational growth.
o You prioritize personal development.
o You are building a life with varied interests, including vitality in health and career.
o You're not afraid of people getting intense around you.
o You like being happy for no reason at all.
o You have a burning desire for a career that takes advantage of your strengths.
Becoming a certified NLP Practitioner is an extraordinary experience. You will be developing relationships that last a lifetime and a career you love.
The next step is to decide exactly how you will use your talents to answer your calling and achieve your goals.
As you research certified NLP Practitioner programs, you begin to realize that an all-inclusive tuition over a fixed amount of time, a proven training process, and the ability to deliver on how to establish and grow your NLP business are all critical elements in your decision.
For some inexplicable reason, most coaching programs provide you with only the bare minimum in training required to become a certified NLP practitioner. As you examine various programs, you discover that many really don't offer a business model whatsoever. You need vital coursework in business development, training in client assessment tools - and a community to get feedback and help when you need it.
If coming off half-baked is not your style - and certainly not the example you want to set for your clients - consider the advantages of my certified NLP Training:
o The Neurogram(TM) - a robust client-assessment tool pioneered and taught ONLY by me, a tool that makes prospective clients choose you faster, so they close the sale themselves.
o Complete Master NLP Certification- the all-inclusive training that also prepares you for a specialty of your choosing.
o My proven 6-Figure NLP Pathway to Success you will use to generate the full-time or secondary income you desire.
o Ongoing support forum for Students and Graduates - a powerful network where we empower each other in the industry with tips and tools for what's working in our markets.
I didn't start out as a £2,500 per cure, Master Practitioner, and neither will you. I didn't cure every person I wanted to help, and neither will you. After our initial 7-day fast track NLP Practitioner certification, you start curing friends, family and acquaintances. Then, I give you a complete local marketing communication system.
You'll start out getting £150 a cure. I teach you to charge for the cure, not for the hours worked. My 6-Figure NLP Pathway to Success is based on a coaching format where you solve most issues with three sessions of two hours. Within 6 months we expect you to have had 6 clients, 4 cured, you've made £600. At this point you've been given my online marketing program. You're seeing how easy it is to help clients who have been researching online how to get out of pain.
You will start the same way I started, by offering "No Cure, No Pay Guarantee." Many people are shocked when they hear I do all my coaching on a "No Cure, No Pay Guarantee." They suspect that people might take advantage of such a bold move. In reality it works differently. The secret is that almost everybody I work with fully expects to get over their problems and pay me or I wouldn't offer the "No Cure, No Pay Guarantee." I teach you how to only work with clients who have been researching how to get out of pain. Clients that are chasing you rather then the other way around. You'll see that helping real clients is actually easier than the practice you got with family and friends.
As you gain client experience, your success-to-patient ratio will improve.
The secret to getting hot-and-bothered prospects who are begging you to help them is online marketing. I give you a complete system, everything written for you with guidance how to transform these texts to suit your own words, specifics and interests. Customers are engaged by a solution to their problem and you only speak with those who raise their hand and say that they want to be helped.
This is a radically different relationship with a client than is had by a traditional coach, counselor or therapy. You have a very short-lived relationship curing clients with NLP.
NLP requires a business model that delivers far more clients than traditional coaches, counselors and therapists. Traditional coaching and counseling charges by the session and goes on for a very long time, often bringing about only incremental, short-lived results. Due to the speed and effectiveness of your interaction with each client NLP is not only a far better solution, but also a much better deal economically for your clients. For you it means that you need a proven system to bring in enough clients to suit your personal circumstances. The marketing part of my 6-Figure NLP Pathway to Success gives you a throttle where you can control how many clients you get.
NLP is based on the principal that authentic and permanent change happens in an instant. It only takes an instant to see the world entirely differently. When you authentically see the world differently, you behave differently. The trick is getting to the curative refaming instant as swiftly as possible.
Slow is great for their business. They get clients who pay them for years and years.
You charge by the cure. You are financially rewarded to succeed quickly. No immediate and complete relief, no pay. Traditional coaches and therapists are financially rewarded for slow progress, and extended relationships.
My coaches don't rely on repeat business for their revenue because clients have gotten better. Nor do they rely on referrals. Referrals are nice and with your successes they will happen more and more. My coaches use an automated lead generation system because it provides them with the certainty of business and income. Sure, exuberant clients will refer their friends, but you can't bank on that, especially if you are providing for yourself and your family. With a marketing system that systematically provides new clients craving relief from pain, you sleep a lot better knowing you have an ongoing source of clients.
I give you an automated approach to having local clients find you and practically beg you to help them alleviate they pains, discomforts, anxieties and old haunts. In short, you help clients get their life back.
My graduates attest to the effectiveness of my helping them build real businesses...I help them in every possible way...to meet their goals, both financially and in self-satisfaction.
Why is my training so effective? I teach you exactly what I do, and what I've taught other students. I leave nothing out. I give you a working Internet marketing system soup-to-nuts. I leave nothing out. I can't afford to hold anything back... I'm banking on your success. Beyond the money, I sincerely feel that it is the ethical duty of anyone who learns these powerful techniques to actually go out there and use them to improve other people's lives.
My training is two pronged in approach... 1) Curative skills 2) Business building skills. Both of these skills are delivered in a multi-dimensional approach:
> Live classroom training
> Teleclasses
> Self-study
> Online training
> Peer student studying
Everything that's required to ensure your success, employing various learning styles and learning preferences:
> Visual (seeing)
> Auditory (hearing)
> Kinesthetic (hands-on)
You are fully engaged beginning on day one of your first live module as you begin learning the curative powers of NLP-- You get immediate feedback in a safe, supportive, and comfortable environment.
Another Guarantee...
IF ON THE FIRST DAY OF TRAINING... You decide NLP is not for you, we'll give you your money back, no questions asked.
No other NLP training program provides all that I do to help you succeed from the inside out, from satisfaction in helping clients to getting as many clients as you want to meet your financial goals.
When comparing NLP certificate programs, it's very important to determine how each school addresses this specific question: How will I get new clients--and make the living I want--as an NLP Practitioner?
That's right. The the biggest, number one concern of anyone seriously considering becoming a professional NLP practitioner is about making the living you want--whether that's a part-time income or a full-time career. What most people forget is that being able to sell what you do ensures that you are able to do what you love doing. The business part of the training is the enabler of you doing what you want to do.
The primary function of virtually all NLP trainings is how to cure suffering patients. That's vital, but what good is that skill if you can't get any clients to actually cure? That's my point. While healing people and making money are definitely different, they are inseparable if you are going to have your own NLP practice, because, as you are becoming a NLP Practitioner, you are also becoming an entrepreneur.
If you have any desire to make money as an NLP practitioner, you should absolutely insist business development is a major component of your certification program.
Make sure your NLP Practitioner certificate program includes:
> An actual "Master NLP Trainer" who has dozens of students who have been financially successful as an NLP Practitioner.
> A proven business development system that requires zero cold-calling.
> Ongoing support for your skills training and your business training. You need a confidential forum to ask question and review cases with clients. (Please note... this is always done anonymously, never using a client's real name.)
NLP certification programs are primarily focused on helping you become coaches. Training on business building is an entirely different skill set. However, this is exactly what you should be looking for. Becoming a Master NLP Practitioner without having business building skills and a proven template for success is like owning a Ferrari but not having any gas. You have all the right equipment, you just don't have a way of using it or getting to your dreams. Having the curative skills but not knowing how to fill your practice doesn't serve you and doesn't allow you to serve others. A professional track should be able to provide you with the programs to do both: become a Master NLP Practitioner AND a successful business owner.
I've streamlined you path to success. Authentic NLP Practitioner classes have at least 60 hours of training, usually over 10 days. Many of my students have full-time jobs. To make it easier for everybody to attend, we do over 60 hours of training in 7 days. This is very doable, even if these are long days. Because the only way to train your brain to do NLP is by having fun and feeling relaxed.

Comparing this NLP Practitioner program with other certification programs might have you wonder whether I teach all the regular NLP techniques and methods other programs offer. I teach everything there is to modern NLP in this course like anchoring, the fast phobia cure, reframing, meta-model, Milton-model etc. Yet it is a mistake and a sign of a limited understanding of NLP to focus on the techniques and methods as it is with most other training programs. What matter is what you can do and achieve with these techniques.
Go forth and multiply the great experience you had with this course for the coming months. Follow the week-by-week instruction set. And keep in touch with our Command and Control online platform. See you back next year for the NLP Master Practitioner.
When you see the joy of your clients, your 6-figure practice is only a bonus...
Give Me 7 Long Days - And I'll Give You The Most Rewarding Job in the world!
Recently, my client's joy after I helped her overcome a seventeen-year depression was priceless. This young mother was my most recent client. She was clinically depressed, didn't want to live anymore and was so anorexic her body threw up any food she desperately tried to eat. She was in extreme pain. In her first two-hour session I got her out of her depressed state and she could eat again. For the first time in seventeen years she felt good again. A total of two follow-up sessions were used to cement her changes. The severity of this case didn't differ all that much from cases I handled equally well right after finishing my Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) certification.
You can have strikingly similar curative successes sooner than you think. Now you can get certified as an NLP practitioner in only seven days.
Straight out of my initial NLP certification, I worked with an agoraphobic man who was terrified to leave his house. In three sessions of NLP coaching he was back to work and traveling the country, and I got paid for my services.
It's not just me. Many of my graduates have the same or better results, immediately after my training.
and see if my training is right for you.
In seven-days you'll learn how to cure your clients' anxieties, phobias and bad habits, guaranteed and straight out of class. Ever wanted to know how to get from $40k a year to six-figures? I lay it out for you step-by-step. And as a classmate, we all step along together.
NLP is amazingly effective, shaving the weeks, months, or even years off of traditional therapy. Many traditional therapies go decades and don't work. You and your client discover very quickly if what you are doing worked. The change happens so quickly that some of your clients are likely to refer to what you do for them as akin to miraculous.
Thank you for your considerations. If a path in NLP is something you are considering starting, or want to accelerate your success, we should talk. Now is the time to schedule our talk.
Yours in Curative and Financial Success,
Joost
P.S. Here are three recent testimonials I received:
"My experience with the class was very positive, and it brought me more than I anticipated.
I am glad I chose you and not some other institute. During the orientation day in January you applied the rewind technique on Paul and I couldn't believe what I saw happening until you applied the rewind technique on me. It really worked, it felt good and I then decided to take the class.
How valuable NLP can be.
Almost 3 years ago Nils and his middle brother Rutger were involved in a one-sided car accident. My sons were in the back. Nils fought for his life for a few days. It was critical. Last January he underwent his last operation on his ear and early this year he stopped his MBO (intermediate vocational education), because he doesn't really know what he wants with his life. On the Sunday in the third weekend of NLP his mother tried to reach me on my cell phone. I called her on my way back home. She sounded very worried, because Nils isn't doing very well. He couldn't tell her and eventually gave her a letter written in English saying how he could end his life. She told me her story and I responded very calmly and said that I could help him with NLP. She became angry and thought I wasn't being serious. I told her what I was going to do and what NLP is. She now understood it a little better, but I had to be careful with what I was going to do. Nils agreed and came to me at Easter. On the Saturday afternoon I applied some techniques such as reverse, rewind and Swiss (to increase self-image). Sunday and Monday morning I heard him whistling in the shower, which made me feel good. He now feels better than before the treatment and it is a step in the right direction of getting his life back on tracks.
Thanks for the inspirational class and the way that you gave it.
Kind regards,
Pim de Waard"
"Hi Joost,
First, let me thank you for the amazing, unconventional, enthusiastic NLP course! Without exaggerating I can say that NLP turned my life upside down, or .... Perhaps brought it back to where it was once meant to be! With NLP you have given me a tool to inexplicably feel good for no reason, I experience it each and every day! Joost, I am glad that I followed the course with you, i.e. your approach relit my enthusiasm, confidence and joy in life again and it is increasing day by day. Thank you for that!
A week ago my first client arrived, which of course was exciting, but the session aroused so much enthusiasm with me and with my client that I am already looking forward to the next session! Your attitude during the course and the experiences I gained with myself and with my client has led to me being busy making plans for the future. Plans in which NLP play a major part, among other things to take the Master's course next year with you.
And come on Joost, making plans for the future when you're 58, it doesn't get any more positive than that! And it is truly caused by NLP, the brake is off, life is good!
See you, Joost.
Ellie Becker"
"Hi Joost,
After following a Hypnotherapy training and NLP training I was in search of more... my subconscious looked further and I allowed myself to be driven until I came to you. My rationale asked itself "will this be what I am looking for?" I followed my heart and everything was fine, better than fine even.
I have been allowed to taste the difference with other classes and have been able to experience that I felt most at ease during your classes, you taught me to just be myself and not to think too much. This sounds so simple, but feeling confident about myself and my own capabilities (I know that I am good) was sometimes in flat contradiction of what others expected of me (stick to theory, follow steps, etc.)
If I started to doubt "am I doing it right" the effect of what I wanted disappeared. I was familiar with the NLP theory but applying it playfully and allowing yourself to relax has now been unleashed. Well and in that case I can flexibly tap into a wealth of experience and the words and silences come to me by themselves. I go into a trance myself.
I am very creative, like to play act (role play) and paint (usually in a trance, but I wasn't really aware of that). The fact that I was allowed to paint in a trance with you and learned to use my voice more, could not be a coincidence.
Last Friday during my consultation hour at Social Affairs, I briefly (it couldn't take too long) explained the reverse technique to a client and drew it for her. The Moroccan lady had done an internship for us and had been sent home because she wasn't good enough, this was the third employer to turn her away.
I asked her what she would really want, she saw images, colours and she felt a glow. She wanted a mosque for women... She left with this good feeling and I promised her that I would email her the reverse technique and that she would let me know what it does to her.
Within the limited space that I take for this a my work, it's already working wonderfully, let alone if I can pay more attention to it in my private sessions. Joost, thanks a lot for the flame that lit the fire again, it is starting to burn even brighter.
Regards,
Annita Hofland"
