WHAT, WHEN, & WHERE

100 Cups Academy
4-Week Live Relationship Selling Course

When: Thursdays at 10:00 AM Central
Where: Live online via Zoom
Length: 60 minutes each week for four weeks

BUILD BETTER RELATIONSHIPS. HAVE BETTER CONVERSATIONS. CREATE MORE OPPORTUNITIES.

You don't need another complicated sales system.

You need a simple, repeatable way to build relationships with the right people, have better conversations, follow up consistently, and stay connected long enough for opportunities to develop.

That's what we'll build together in the 100 Cups Academy.

This four-week live program is designed to help you become more intentional about the relationships that grow your business without turning you into a pushy salesperson or asking you to become someone you're not.

You'll learn how to walk into conversations more prepared, listen better, ask better questions, follow up without feeling awkward, and build a consistent relationship-building rhythm you can use long after the four weeks are over.

The goal isn't to teach you how to "work a room."

It's to help you become the person people know, trust, remember, and want to do business with.

WHAT WE'LL COVER

WEEK 1: THE RELATIONSHIP MINDSET

Shift from transactional networking to intentional relationship building.

We'll introduce the core 100 Cups philosophy, identify the relationships that deserve your attention, and begin creating a simple framework for consistently connecting with the right people.

WEEK 2: OPENING CONVERSATIONS WITH CONFIDENCE

Great meetings don't happen by accident.

You'll learn how to prepare for conversations, ask better questions, listen more intentionally, and understand how your own personality affects the way you build relationships.

We'll also work on developing your "meeting muscle" so you become more comfortable, confident, and effective every time you sit down with someone.

WEEK 3: FOLLOWING UP WITHOUT FEELING PUSHY

The first conversation is only the beginning.

You'll learn how to create natural follow-up, stay top of mind, add value, and keep relationships moving forward without constantly asking for business.

This is where relationships begin turning into referrals, introductions, opportunities, and sales.

WEEK 4: BUILDING A CONSISTENT RHYTHM

Relationship building works when you keep doing it.

We'll bring everything together into a simple, repeatable process you can continue after the Academy ends.

You'll leave with a framework for deciding who to meet, how to prepare, how to follow up, how to stay connected, and how to make relationship building part of the normal rhythm of your business.

BY THE END OF THE FOUR WEEKS, YOU'LL HAVE A FRAMEWORK TO:

  • Build your network and increase your influence, reach, and opportunities
  • Create a simple and repeatable process for prospecting
  • Identify and strengthen the relationships most likely to create opportunities
  • Develop a more intentional referral network
  • Prepare for meetings with greater confidence
  • Ask better questions and become a better listener
  • Follow up consistently without feeling pushy or salesy
  • Stay top of mind with the people who matter
  • Build your "meeting muscle" through preparation and repetition
  • Create a relationship-building rhythm you can continue long after the course ends

WHO IS THIS FOR?

100 Cups Academy is built for business owners, entrepreneurs, sales professionals, consultants, and other professionals who rely on relationships to grow.

It's especially valuable if:

  • You know you should be meeting more people, but don't have a consistent process for doing it
  • You sometimes leave meetings wishing you'd asked better questions or listened more closely
  • You're good at meeting people but not always great at following up
  • You want more referrals and introductions without constantly asking people for them
  • Traditional prospecting or networking feels forced or transactional to you
  • You want a system that works with your personality, whether you're naturally introverted or extroverted
  • You want to become more confident and intentional in business conversations
  • You're willing to commit four weeks to building a process you can continue using for years

ONE IMPORTANT EXPECTATION

This isn't a quick-fix sales course.

You won't leave with a magic script that suddenly fills your pipeline overnight.

100 Cups Academy is about building something much more valuable: a repeatable way to create and strengthen relationships that consistently lead to conversations, introductions, referrals, opportunities, and business.

If you're willing to make the first move, have the conversations, follow up, and stay consistent, you'll leave these four weeks with a framework you can use for the rest of your career.
