“We had a great weekend. There is an enormous amount of material that we got from this event. Not just information but the thinking and the logic behind it, which makes absolute sense. Thank you Master Oliver, Master Smith and Master Moody for a truly worthwhile conference.” Marty Callahan – Peak Performer’s Member

“The Marketing Conference was my very first NAPMA event. And I truly believe it was the best investment I have made all year! Master Oliver presented common sense strategy. He also introduced marketing tools and techniques that were new to me. As Program Director of two locations, I am so excited to take my new Marketing Plan back home and start making measurable changes! Thank you Master Oliver & team!” –Karis Brody – Peak Performer’s Member (staff member) TM Martial Arts, Joliet IL

I really enjoyed the seminar in Colorado Springs. I came back with an extremely comprehensive marketing program for the remainder of the year. The content given out was fantastic and will help me to get to a higher level. I also enjoyed meeting and talking with the other participants as we shared ideas and got to see what each other was doing. It always helps to network with others who are in the same boat as you! Going to the Airforce Academy was a real treat for me and it was enlightening to learn how they teach their leadership skills. I plan to use some of their ideas in my leadership program.
Thank you Master Oliver for sharing all your expertise with us!

Grand Master Oliver:

I have been a practitioner in the martial arts and taught for over 50 years. When I began there were no Seminars to attend. We did everything on the “trial and error” principle. As I aged and grew in my career and with my School I have always welcomed the privilege of attending “Business Seminars”.

There is always more to learn. I have attended a lot of Seminars where the speakers were successful with one venture or in one particular area. What I find inspirational and encouraging with you is your relationship and involvement with the “Leaders in our Industry”. The experience you have in marketing and sales, coupled with your innovative mind and education is such an asset to School Owners who are
serious about growing their business.

Sincerely,
Chief Master Phil Minton

My son & I attended the Martial Arts Marketing Boot Camp in Colorado Springs with Master Stephen Oliver, Master Jeff Smith & Master Greg Moody along with 35 other professional martial arts business owners, and we can safely say—from a business education standpoint: It was the best experience that we have done for many years.

Having been in business for over 10 years, we have had many business coaches but Master Oliver is the only one who knows “Our” business inside & out. I use the word our simply because there are numerous business coaches who have not run a successful school operation for many years if ever, who give at best outdated or untried theoretical advice & ideas. All three of the Masters run highly successful multi-school operations.

The entire weekend was specifically focused on marketing with an in depth study of the many marketing pillars we have available to us and how we can effectively use them as well as how often. We finished of the camp by breaking into groups to fashion a 4 month marketing plan from Sept. to Dec using the pillars that we had been studying for the past 2 days, then reviewing each plan before we went our separate ways to go home and fashion our own.

Every professional in any business or sport needs coaching, and for our money Master Oliver and his team are worth every dollar we’ve spent!

“I believe the NAPMA bootcamp was a great definition of Napoleon Hill’s ‘mastermind.’ As the prospective owner of a brand new academy in Michigan, meeting successful, idea-driven individuals along with Master Oliver’s leadership, and Master Moody and Master Smith’s knowledge, I’ve been given actionable marketing strategies to move forward! Thank you to all participants!”

Get the Best!

If you need marketing help and especially if you think you have it down already and DON’T need help, the NAPMA Marketing Bootcamp is the best thing you could do for your school. Of course, Colorado is always beautiful, and it is inspiring to go to such venues as the Olympic

Training Center. But what you come away with beats what you can get ANYWHERE else.

I just got 20 fresh or updated ideas per month for the rest of the year. Not tired old retreads from so-called experts, but state-of-the art tested strategies that work for our industry. And I’m psyched to get 100 new members in the next 6 weeks!

Stephen Oliver’s talent, beyond his ability to share his top-notch business knowledge and education and his penchant for bringing in other high-level thinkers, lies in the relaxed but no-BS training and the whole palette of stuff we need to help us get it done.

For me this time, it was about time management. Other times it has been staff training and management, expanded thinking which allowed me to raise the prices, an upgrade process that brings in MOST students, a smooth and improved sales process, motivating myself, etc. etc.!
The key is to keep opening your mind, challenging assumptions, and getting the highest quality help available. And that’s with NAPMA, Stephen Oliver, Jeff Smith, Master Moody et al!!
