students in the process. I’m laying the whole process out, including the 5 Stages of

40 Workshop Takeaways
Imagine if you could get just a teeny, tiny share of that massive opportunity?
Or, if you’re ALREADY an Online Course Creator, imagine if you could get MORE of
that opportunity flowing your way?
The first time I tried the ideas I’m going to share with you in this Blueprint it was 7 years
ago. I quickly turned a small group of 127 students in a low-ticket course into $707,865
in value in our business — WAY more than ANY other program I had ever launched.
And, thanks to this NEW kind of online course, since that first discovery. . .
I’m laying the whole process out, step-by-step in this Million Dollar Online Course Blueprint,
including the 5 Stages of Designing, Launching & Selling Your Experience Product.

EXPERIENCE PRODUCT ®
STICKING POINTS
And their answers...
• Instead, The Experience Formula® adds “Dopamine” buttons to your course that
MORE STUDENT SUCCESS empowers 10-30 times more students to stay engaged and to take action
• This stops costly refunds & complaints, while guaranteeing increased levels of
student happiness and satisfaction
• When your students KNOW they will get results from your programs YOU get a ton
of advantages because they buy more of your programs, refer more of their friends
and colleagues, become your RAVING fans and say YES to virtually all your NEW
offers as well!
• Successful students give you powerful case studies, examples and testimonials you
can use in your marketing to attract MORE people to your programs
• Showing the success your customers get is strong social proof that your program
WORKS (and helps to overcome buying objections)
• Follow-up sales are where your biggest profits come from (they’re up to 16 times
more profitable than 1st time sales)
REPEAT CUSTOMERS & HIGHER PROFIT
• When you create the right student experiences and give people results, they WANT
to buy from you again and again and again
• Which will drive your repeat purchase rates as high as 30% and higher in some cases
• This results in a much higher Average Lifetime Value for each customer who comes
EXPERIENCE PRODUCTS ® into your program
The Big Picture
• Which has a MASSIVE positive impact on profits: repeat customers spend more with
larger, faster transactions
• More free time, more choice, more fun with more success on autopilot
LOVE YOUR BUSINESS MORE
• Build your business on your terms so you can work on what you want, when you
want, and with whom you want!
• Work with clients & students who LOVE you, and are grateful to work with you
CONSISTENT REPEATABLE REVENUE • Create the “Business Growth Trifecta” situation of more people investing more
money with you more often
• Turn on the powerful referral engine in your business that organically attracts more
& more new customers
• Referrals create momentum in your business, which can turn on the income
“flywheel” that just keeps turning on its own, getting faster and faster, bringing you in
more sales and revenue without you having to sweat for it
• Become known for your unique ability to empower & motivate people to take
action... which most people don’t consistently feel on their own
• Become a market leader by challenging the status quo and get recognized as the new
“go-to” expert in your field
• Enjoy lucrative new opportunities for speaking, interviews, books and more
• Plus, raise your prices to match the value you’re putting into the world
So what the heck is an “Experience Product?”
An Experience Product is any product, program or course that combines the 10 Core
Experiences of The Experience Formula ® , while avoiding the 10 Anti-Experiences you find
in most courses. This results in more student engagement and success than other traditional
approaches by activating the reward center in people’s brains and propelling them into
massive action.
These Core Experiences combine the most powerful elements of gamification, learning theory,
and the psychology of motivation to create an engaging experience that works with (rather
than against) the brain to get your customers “hooked” on taking action and getting results.
When you stack these 10 Core Experiences into every element of your Experience Product,
you create Experience Escalation, which is like an upward spiral that propels your customers
across the finish line of your course in record numbers.
When your customers win, you win. Refunds drop and referrals and repeat sales go through
the roof because customer success really is the new marketing.

EXPERIENCE
ESCALATION:
• Create an Experience Escalation Plan to get your students 10-30 times more results by
SUPERCHARGE YOUR RESULTS
including:
• Use the list of Anti-Experiences to know what to AVOID in your course so you can prevent
the “Downward Death Spiral” so many traditional online course creators get into:
• What Happens in the First Hour, the First Day, and the First Week: The Onboarding Process
is critical, because you’ll either begin the process of Experience Escalation OR kick-off the
dreaded Downward Death Spiral
• Structure your course to progress from small actions and wins to larger and larger actions
and wins to create Unstoppable Momentum which leads to…
• Mission Accomplished: AND... how do you end just as powerfully as you started, while lining
up customers for your next offer?
STICKING POINTS
• The only thing you need is the willingness to learn and try
something new
• Creating experiences gets easier with practice
I’ve never created a product before.
• It’s actually easier to start from scratch because you
haven’t learned the wrong way to do it
• This reduces the product design, marketing and delivery
process to 12 weeks not 12 months
Will this work for my business • If your business helps people in any way, this will work for you
or industry? * While we believe that principles taught in this program can be used in any industry,
it is your responsibility to know and understand the regulations governing your
industry and how they may affect your application of The Experience Formula®
I don’t have an email list. • Building an Experience-based email list ensures you’ll
never have anything other than a rabid, engaged
customer base, anxious to buy your next Experience

Jeff Poole
Finally Breaking Through! From Uber Driver to
In-Demand Global Expert — and My Online Course
Was the Turning Point!
See how a Vedic Astrologer went from living in other people’s
basements for 20 years to FINALLY being able to afford his own home
— and became a world-renowned expert with a $70,000/year
income.
• And yet for many of those years he struggled financially and professionally,
resorting to living in other people’s basements and driving Uber to make ends
barely meet.
• After a high-flying life as a multi-millionaire in the 90’s Dotcom era, and then losing
it all, Jeff spent many years in a rut of failure and things not working out. He also
suffered a traumatic brain injury as a result of a car accident.
• Then he discovered The Experience Formula® and it helped him change his
mindset to create a course that opened a doorway into a highly successful and
lucrative opportunity that turned everything around for him.
• Now he has thousands of clients around the world and is regularly traveling
the globe as an invited guest expert, presenter and consultant.
The Results!
