I Stopped Getting Rejected By Schools When I Started Doing Thisโฆ.
If you've ever walked into a school, tried to pitch a โbully preventionโ or โconfidenceโ seminar, and heardโฆ
โSend me an email and Iโll get back to youโ
โYou have to go through the districtโ
โWe donโt allow outside businessesโ
Itโs not your fault.
Youโre not getting rejected because your idea sucks or your school district is โdifferent.โ Youโre getting rejected because youโre either: talking to the wrong person OR saying the wrong thing.
Letโs fix both.
๐ฏ WHO to Target: The Guidance Counselor
Most school owners go after the principal.
Makes senseโฆ they're in charge, right?
But here's the truth: Principals are swamped. Their schedule is booked with meetings, policies, discipline issues, and way too much red tape.
The real person to target? The guidance counselor. Theyโre way more accessible and dedicated to student character development. Theyโre actually looking for resources to support kids.
So start there. But what do you actually say when you get in front of the guidance counselor?
Hereโs what NOT to sayโฆ โI want to teach bully prevention.โ
Sounds noble, right?
Wrong. Most schools donโt want anti-bullying programs anymore.
Either they already have one (mandated by the state)...
Or theyโre sick of every kid crying โbully!โ when someone calls them a silly name.
It creates drama they donโt want.
So your noble โbully preventionโ seminar? Yeah, it just sounds like more work to them.

WHAT TO Say Instead: โWhat challenges are your students dealing with this year?โ
This flips the entire script. Youโre not a business owner trying to pitch a product.
Youโre a partner looking to help with their current problems.
Now youโre on their side.
Ask them what they need.
Then, tailor your program around that.
Maybe itโs students spending too much time in the bathroom.
Maybe itโs students excluding their classmates from activities.
Maybe itโs anxiety and overwhelm in the classroom.
Give them what they want โ not what you *think* they need.
When it comes to creating school programs that actually convert to new students, if you have the wrong strategy, youโll get stuck in a web of bureaucracy and then end up blaming your school district for being โtoo strict.โ
But if you want a proven way to avoid the red tapeโฆ
if you want the exact scripts, templates, and video walkthroughs to shortcut your way in.
Without hitting the usual dead endsโฆ
So you can create a funnel of new students that you donโt have to pay forโฆ
