Brilliant question. This is a high-trust, high-impact program, so how you position it matters just as much as the price.
I’ll break this into two clear parts:
How to sell Protege (the right way) 1. How much is Protege?
Protege Program (12-month blended learning experience)
Available only after completing PBC (Speaker Business / PBC).
Pricing (local currency varies – AUD / NZD / USD / SGD)
Payment Plan: $1,275 per month × 13 months Paid in Full (Best Value): $13,785 ⚠️ These prices are fixed. No discounts outside this structure without written approval from Sam.
2. How to sell Protege (this is the key)
Protege is not sold like a course.
It is enrolled into like a long-term identity upgrade.
The Core Reframe (this is critical)
❌ Don’t sell it as:
✅ Sell it as:
A 12-month proximity decision that collapses years of struggle into one aligned pathway
Protege is for people who are done dabbling and ready to become someone new.
Who Protege is REALLY for
Protege is ideal for someone who:
Has momentum but feels scattered Wants certainty, confidence, profile, and authority Knows “my voice matters” but hasn’t fully owned it Is tired of starting… stopping… second-guessing Language you want to use:
“Protege is for people who are serious about the next chapter of who they’re becoming.”
The Outcome-Based Sell (not features)
Yes, Protege includes:
1DIs (online + in-person) A full-time relationship manager 600+ hours of self-paced learning But that’s not what sells it.
What actually sells Protege:
Confidence under pressure Authority when they speak Being known for something Belonging to a high-standard peer group Momentum that doesn’t drop off Say it like this:
“Protege isn’t about learning more. It’s about becoming undeniable.”
The 3-Step Protege Enrollment Conversation
Step 1: Reflect Their Pattern
“You’ve done the work. You’ve got momentum. But if we’re honest… you’re still carrying the weight alone.”
Let them nod.
Step 2: Name the Risk
“What usually happens next for people like you is life gets busy… and momentum fades. Not because they’re incapable — but because proximity disappears.”
This creates productive tension.
Step 3: Present Protege as the Bridge
“Protege exists so that for the next 12 months, you don’t drift. You don’t second-guess. You don’t go quiet. You’re coached, challenged, seen, and held to the standard you said you wanted.”
Then pause.
Handling Price Conversations (important)
If someone hesitates on price, don’t justify it.
Instead say:
“Protege isn’t expensive. It’s demanding.
And it only works for people who are ready to back themselves.”
Then ask:
“Is this a timing question, or a belief question?”
That question alone creates breakthroughs.
The Close (clean, calm, confident)
“Based on what you’ve shared, Protege makes sense for you.
The only real question is whether you want to do the next 12 months alone — or in proximity.”
Then stop talking.
Silence is leadership.
Final Coach’s Note
Protege is sold through certainty, not persuasion.
If you believe:
In long-term transformation Then enrolling people into Protege becomes a service, not a sale.
If you want, next we can:
Script a Protege enrollment call Create a Protege transition pitch from PBC Sharpen objection handling Or train your team on Protege language Just tell me where you want to go next.
