Renegade Professional is Brimming with Community as Well as Marketing Training

by Richard Goutal
———————————————————————————————————

Did you join Renegade Pro because of the training?

Did you read Ann Sieg’s books and then look for step-by-step help in implementing what you learned from her?

Did you read Magnetic Sponsoring, but then decided you wanted to participate in the kind of training available at the Renegade Professional?

If so, you aren’t alone. That’s what brought me to the site months ago, and many others have joined for the same reason.

In the beginning, when I understood that the site was primarily about the training tutorials, I had the crazy idea of just staying long enough (maybe 3-4 months) to study as many tutorials as possible, and then quit the site. But life interfered and I also wandered about the net buying other training products, and … fortunately I didn’t quit.

Actually, I still haven’t finished the tutorials, but along the way I discovered something.

The Renegade Professional is a lot more than the training. It’s also a Community.

To be honest, the “community” was largely invisible to me for many months. I knew there were Super Guides; it took me a while to grasp that the Super Guides

Are not just about the wonderful one-to-one help they give to many people.
Are not just about the training videos that they created and added to those of founder Mike Klingler’s.
Are not just about the articles they wrote and the manner in which they helped to draw in more members.

What I had not realized is that when Mike encouraged these early participants to get involved and contribute, they began to interact with one another.

Though they represented many different backgrounds (and MLM companies!) they began to see opportunities to grow relationships. And so the RenPro Community gave birth.

Here’s an example of what happened from there:

Six women, brought together by a common bond collaborated on a webinar and e-book. This helped to bring new people to the Renegade. Shortly thereafter, Barbara Silva began the pilot version of Coaching Cognition, as a result of the coaching classes and coaching one another, were drawn even closer. The Community expanded and deepened.

We know that the site has evolved and will continue to do so.
But the aspect of community has taken a life of its own!

During my first eight months in The Renegade Professional, I was like the Prodigal Trainee. I jumped about looking for the “real thing.” I didn’t have a lot of knowledge or experience so I was easily distracted by the great squeeze pages and allure of other internet marketing gurus. (Mike warns against this in several videos, but I let it roll off me without grasping it. Because of this, I was not one of the early Super Guides.)

I was busy reading and researching and comparing the gurus. Who was more experienced and successful? Who was less expensive? Who offered more bonuses? Who had a personality more pleasing to me?

During those first eight months I bought memberships and materials from at least five other internet marketing leaders. I have met people who have bought from far more people than that!

Here are two key things that I didn’t fully grasp at the beginning:

The Renegade Professional provides training on everything that can be learned from the sites of the other gurus. What I know now is that:

I wasted time and money wandering about. Unfortunately, this is an all too common regret of beginners.
If you stick with RenPro systematically, the other sites are superfluous. RenPro training is thoroughly customizable and thoroughly applicable to every skill level, certainly to the edge of the “somewhat Seasoned Smart Professional level.”

It’s easy to be lured by the thought:

“But the other gurus provide so much good information!”
That’s true, but what they teach, that is applicable to smart beginners and to early smart professionals is available in the RenPro training tutorials.

Only The Renegade Professional Provides and Promotes Community.

The RenPro site is totally unique.

Think about it.

Other “gurus” provide internet marketing training sites, yet with no way for members to even know who the other students are. Does that sound like community?

I won’t name these sites, well-respected though they are, but face it, there is no opportunity to contribute or engage at any level; the value is solely about the training provided by the “guru.”

These are knowledgeable marketing individuals who do not want to give away their pedestal. Their name, face, and words predominate every corner of the site. There is no opportunity to contribute; they don’t want “competition” on their own site.
