Close MORE deals FASTER at HIGHER PRICES.

No sales pitch can overcome a bad offer. But even the worst sales pitch is rescued by an irresistible offer.

I suck at sales, so I learned to create an environment where people want to buy. It transformed my business. Sales are now easy. And I work with better clients.

Now I help high-ticket service businesses do the same. That’s folks like consultants, coaches, and agencies. 
The biggest hurdle I see is the offer is bad. It looks like:

“Hi, I’m Craig. Pleased to meet you. Would you like to sign-up for my 5-figure or 6-figure program?”

That is not a good offer. It’s akin to walking up to a complete stranger in a bar and asking them to marry you. It’s missing at least a coffee date.

We help businesses design finely crafted “coffee dates” that we call irresistible First-Time Offers. The hallmarks of such offers are:
✅ Impulse purchase – nobody has to ask permission to spend the money.
✅ Disproportionate value-to-price – like 10X.
✅ Actually solves a problem – so, NOT an audit or assessment.
✅ Has 3-5 deliverables that represent 3-5 milestones in the direction of the customer’s goal.
✅ Designed to repel non-ideal clients.
✅ Irresistible to ideal clients. 

We also craft broader inbound marketing strategies. They are focused on rapid trust building and delivering value in advance. Properly executed, they generate the ideal sales conversation where the prospect “closes” themselves. The cornerstone of every strategy is an irresistible First-Time Offer which accelerates trust-building and shortens sales cycles. 

Here's a guide to building First-Time Offers:

Sometimes life throws us curveballs. That’s when we learn the most important lessons in life. 

On August 22nd, 2021 I went into a 6-week coma. The doctors repeatedly told my wife that I would certainly die. On August 24th I went into kidney failure. A few days later, my right lung collapsed. 

A couple weeks after I woke up my wife started telling me how my team ran the business without me. Freelancers reached out to my team and offered to do whatever was necessary as long as I was in the hospital. I consider this my greatest accomplishment in business.

So, I started the Leaders & Legacies Podcast to highlight leaders that are making an impact beyond themselves. Do you know a leader that deserves to be celebrated?

I am Terence Farrell, an innovative and strategic leader with over 20 years in public service, blending an extensive network, deep understanding of governmental processes, and proven financial acumen to deliver efficient, effective, and progressive solutions both in government and the private sector.

During my three terms as a Chester County (PA) Commissioner, I was honored with numerous accolades for my leadership. My tenure was marked by the County achieving AAA/Aaa bond ratings from the nation’s top financial rating firms, a testament to our fiscal responsibility and innovative management that saved taxpayers millions and positioned us as one of the nation’s top 24 best-managed counties.

In 2020, I founded For Real Solutions LLC, a consulting firm that aids businesses in creating value by leveraging my knowledge, experience, and creativity, along with an extensive network. Our clientele includes Marsh McLennan, a $20B leader in risk, strategy, and people, and Rigrodsky Law, specialists in pension fund risk management.

Currently, I serve as a Director on the Board of the Brandywine Conservancy and Museum of Art,  contributing to a range of non-profit boards and committees over the years.

As Recorder of Deeds for two terms, I modernized the office by introducing online public record access and electronic document submission—a pioneering move that underscored my commitment to leveraging technology for public benefit.

Before my election as Recorder of Deeds in 1999, I was a Realtor® and owned a small business focused on video production. I also bring experience as a journalist and an educator in writing and English.

My involvement has extended statewide and nationally, participating actively in professional organizations such as the National Association of Counties and the County Commissioners Association of Pennsylvania.

I hold Graduate Certificates in Public Administration and Public Personnel Administration from Indiana State University, am a graduate of NACo’s Leadership Institute, and have completed the Leadership Seminar at Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government. I earned a BA in English (cum laude) from Carleton College.

My diverse background in leadership, technology adaptation, fiscal management, and strategic consulting positions me uniquely to contribute valuable insights and governance to private or family-owned companies looking to navigate the complexities of today’s business environment. I am passionate about applying my expertise to enhance corporate strategy, governance, and community engagement at the board level.
