On July 16th a new client retained my services to settle a pending lawsuit. Today, less than 2 weeks later, he accepted the settlement I negotiated. Here are the numbers:
$10,205 Debt
$7,000 Settlement
$3,205 Saved
This 2 week settlement is about an average turn around time whenever a creditor is willing to respond to offers in a timely manner. Thankfully, that was the case here. I had never dealt with the attorney for this creditor before so I was not sure what to expect. She held out for considerably more than my initial offer but, after some back & forth, all parties benefited in the end.
It is also important to note this $7,000 settlement is a TOTAL amount. Had the creditor prevailed with the lawsuit, they could have been awarded attorney's fees up to 1/3 the amount of the debt or $3,400. Plus, it cost them over $200 just to file the lawsuit and they could have required a separate reimbursement.
This means my skilled negotiation efforts effectively saved my client in excess of $6,800!
As you may imagine, my client was thrilled with the savings and they can now concentrate on making money rather than dealing with this legal matter. In addition to earning a nice fee, I am also happy to have helped my client through a tough situation.

How To Make $100,000 Per Year
Below is a re-post of a previous entry from November 2008. I believe its importance still applies...
You've heard me say a six figure income is possible in the commercial debt resolution profession. Earning fees of several thousands of dollars per case is certainly one way to get there... but there are also other ways.
Let's look at 3 different examples:
EXAMPLE 1. If you can close 5 cases per week generating a fee of just $400 each, you will earn $2,000 per week. With 52 weeks in a year that gets you $104,000 per year. Since most cases take no more than a couple of hours TOTAL time to negotiate & close once you land a client, that's about 10 hours per week. (Keep in mind a $400 fee is about the minimum you should earn on a case, so lets look at another example.)
EXAMPLE 2. If you can close only 3 cases per week generating a fee of $700 each, you will earn $2,100 per week. That comes to over $109,000 per year.
EXAMPLE 3. Now figure you earn the average fee of about $1,200 per case and close only 2 cases per week. At $2,400 per week you will make nearly $125,000 a year!
You can assume you will have a wide mixture of cases earning a wide range of fees. Some may only earn you $350 while others generate fees of $3,000, $5,000 or $10,000+. That's the nature of this business. Sure, some weeks you may not close ANY cases, but other weeks you may close numerous cases each day. Other weeks you may only close one case but that case might earn you a fee of $2,000 or more.
The business is out there and making $100,000 + per year is possible if you incorporate ALL of my recommendations for getting leads & closing cases. Making more money just means contacting more prospective clients and closing more (or bigger ) cases each day or week. Of course, nobody says you have to make a six figure income. If all you need or want is an extra $400, $800 or $1,000 per week, then it will take fewer cases to get there. Follow my program and the potential is absolutely there to earn whatever level of income you desire.

Still A Bargain!
I have officially increased the price of my commercial debt resolution Business Plan System for the first time since its creation and it is still a great value. I held the price down purposely of late for those potential students who recently expressed an interest to allow them time to make their decisions.
The information contained in my revised material is a great value at either price and this relatively small investment can be recouped from only a minimum fee with your first successful case... often within only 3 to 4 weeks.
I say "relatively small" knowing full well that $295 can buy a lot of groceries. However, when you are investing this amount into information that can help you launch a career with the potential of earning thousands of dollars each and every month, it becomes insignificant in comparison.
I encourage everyone to shop around for a better business opportunity bargain and I challenge anyone to find one. It simply does not exist.
As always, I offer a full refund of the purchase price (less S&H) on a no questions asked basis for 30 days. Simply return the material to my office intact within 30 days of receipt, and I will immediately issue a refund. No explanation is necessary. Most folks know within a few days if this profession is for them.
However, I encourage anyone interested to contact my office with whatever questions you may have BEFORE investing. We are more than happy to address any of your concerns and discuss details on a one-to-one basis.
