About NLE

Let’s face it. Finding and winning over new customers is always top of mind for any business owner. The challenge typically starts with developing a network of trusted, well-connected business people to expand your market reach, and, in turn, positioning yourself as a trusted, seasoned expert in your field.

Next Level Executives helps owners promote and grow their businesses through a range of services, including local chapters and online member communities, public speaking opportunities for members, and networking and referrals. Here’s a brief snapshot of our services, and how we can help you attract and keep new customers and expand your business.

“Walking into a chamber of commerce event as a financial advisor is like being an ant at a picnic, you’ve got lots of competition. On the other hand you’ve got these referral organizations that limit competition but meet far too frequently and are often devoid of networking partners for my target market. So, I decided to create something better.”
--Mike Langford, Founder and CEO, Next Level Executives

Expand Your Marketing Reach

Next Level Executives (NLE) can help you expand your marketing reach through four proven channels:

1. Word of Mouth – Often called the best form of advertising, word of mouth carries the weight of the person’s reputation who delivers the message. Each NLE local member community is a word-of-mouth advertising machine, since it’s in the best interest of each member to promote fellow members.
2. Email Promotion – It’s true. Spam is bad. On the other hand, permission-based email marketing has few rivals when it comes to direct response advertising. NLE and its members promote each public event via email blast to fully opt-in email lists. In short, we get the message out to people who have asked us to keep them in the loop.
3. Social Media – The NLE online community provides an excellent platform to boost the chances that people will discover you when they search for information related to your business or industry. Active participation in blogs and forum discussions, along with the sharing of video and photos, increase the odds that you will rank highly in online search results.
4. Event Listing Service – In addition to email blasts promoting your event, we also get the word out to event-listing sites such as EventBrite, Upcoming, Eventful, and so on. The listing includes a description of the event, and promotes your business and you as a featured keynote speaker.

Position Yourself as an Expert in Your Field

Something very interesting happens when you speak in front of a group of people. You are almost instantly elevated to the status of expert or thought leader. And when you are an expert in your field, people seek you out.

NLE has created two integrated vehicles designed specifically to elevate you and your fellow members to expert status.

1. The Public Event – As an NLE member you’ll enjoy the opportunity of being a keynote speaker at a public event hosted by your local chapter. This is your chance to shine.
2. The NLE Online Community – In today’s world, most people begin their search for a product or service online. Testimonials, demonstrations of expertise, frequent and relevant content all combine to enhance your position as a thought leader. Be an active online community member and witness what happens.

Develop a Network of Trusted Business People

Who you associate with speaks volumes about you and where your business is headed. NLE members are business people who have openly expressed their desire to reach for the next level and associate with others who share a like-minded drive for excellence.

While public events, social media, and email blasts are great ways to expand your marketing reach, it is your fellow NLE chapter members who represent the greatest tool for business growth. The non-compete membership of each NLE chapter fosters a high level of trust and cooperation that raises everyone’s game to the next level.

Each month your NLE chapter holds one private, members-only meeting. These meetings feature three components designed to help you grow your business:

• The Mastermind Session – During each private meeting, one chapter member will take the “hot seat” for a mastermind session. This member presents to the group where his or her business is now, and where it needs to go next—the “next level.” The mastermind session centers on the steps and challenges the presenting member must overcome to get from here to there.

Imagine the power of tapping the collective intellect of 10 to 20 trusted business people to aid in your mission. Imagine further the level of trust established between you and the other members of your NLE team when you each share your professional challenges. Without question, the camaraderie and vested interest in one another’s success is incredibly powerful.

• Business Profile – Elevator pitches are great, but seven to 10 minutes of uninterrupted time in front of your NLE chapter is better. From time to time you will be asked to share a detailed profile and current events specific to your business with your NLE team.
• Networking and Referrals – A certain amount of time is allocated to free-form networking and business referrals. It’s not uncommon for this activity to continue after the mastermind session, as people tend to be more than a little jazzed up.

“To accept good advice is but to increase one's own ability.”
--Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
