The Essence of Time Traveller

Phil’s Time Traveller concept is designed to save you time and maximize your efforts. Many of our clients, after learning this strategy, wish they had known it earlier. It helps you avoid the common pitfalls of spending time on unproductive calls, meetings, and partnerships. Let's dive into the 4Ps and see how they can revolutionize your business.

The 4Ps: Purchasers, Partners, Promoters, Platforms

This framework is about categorizing your interactions to ensure you're focusing on the right opportunities. Here's how it applies to your finance or investment business:

1. Purchasers

• Who Are They? These are your ideal clients who will invest in your financial services or products.
• Examples: When you're on a podcast, ensure the host fits your ideal client profile. At conferences, focus on speaking where the audience includes potential investors or clients.
• Story: Phil once asked a finance leader if they would prefer a $20,000 speaking fee to a generic audience or speaking for free to 20 ideal clients. The leader chose the latter, understanding that quality leads to better business outcomes.

2. Partners

• Who Are They? Non-competitive partners who share your target audience but offer different services or products.
• Examples: Look for legal advisors, tax consultants, or other financial services firms who can complement your offerings.
• Story: Phil developed a strong partnership with Chris Williams from Group Coach Nation by offering value first. This partnership has generated significant business and continues to be mutually beneficial.

3. Promoters

• Who Are They? Super fans who love your work and consistently refer others to you.
• Examples: Former clients who have achieved their goals with your help and now advocate for your services.
• Story: Phil mentions a promoter who has referred over $100,000 worth of business without ever buying directly. Their recommendations come highly trusted and often convert to new clients quickly.

4. Platforms

• What Are They? Stages, podcasts, corporate workshops, and media appearances where you can showcase your expertise.
• Examples: Identify finance-specific summits, investment forums, or industry podcasts where your ideal clients are present.
• Story: Phil shared how using podcasts to interview potential clients bypassed gatekeepers and led to significant client conversions, showcasing the power of the right platforms.

Step-by-Step Process

To effectively implement the Time Traveller strategy, follow these steps:

Categorize Past Interactions:

• Review your calls, stages, podcasts, and networking events from the past 6-12 months.
• Categorize them into Purchasers, Partners, Promoters, and Platforms.

Assess Their Value:

• Determine if these interactions were with the right Ps.
• Evaluate if they were the type you needed at the time.

Identify Your Needs:

• Make a list of what you need more of right now: Purchasers, Partners, Promoters, or Platforms.

Target Your Interactions:

• Focus your efforts on the Ps that will benefit your business most at this moment.
• Use tools like LinkedIn and podcast booking sites to connect with the right people.

Create a Clear Avatar:

• Define what each type of person looks like for your business.
• Name them if it helps (e.g., Purchaser = Tom, Partner = Jonathan).

Practice and Refine:

• Regularly review and adjust your strategy to ensure you’re engaging with the right people.

Final Thoughts

By categorizing and prioritizing your interactions using the 4Ps, you can save time, avoid unproductive efforts, and focus on high-value opportunities. This method will streamline your efforts, making every call, podcast, and stage appearance count.

Embrace this strategy, practice it, and watch how it transforms your business. Your clients, colleagues, and stakeholders will thank you for it.
