Well if you really want people to get or listen to the GTP program first, I would put the BGTP program in to a RAR(winRAR) or similar file and then have it password protected and then place the password in the end of the GTP program. Off course you´ve to warn about the password and point it to the GTP before people buy it.
Hope that will clear that problem out for you.

Thank you Steph for making “this” it changed my life(for the better)

I think that whatever course of action you take should be in line with a bigger plan for the program. This plan may go beyond the current published material to stuff that is only in incubating form in your collective heads.

I don’t believe you can remove the program from the sales entirely now, the cat is out of the bag and you would only create a black market for the stuff. There should be several qualifiers for customers of the product. A much higher price should be required - perhaps 5 times as much for instance. You might couple the purchase with required classes or some other form of direct interaction between yourself (or staff) and the customer. If you see a potential form of misuse of the material, then perhaps a written usage agreement could be part of the package (something more involved than clicking a button).

Ultimately, I believe you are looking to ensure that a person is committed to the advancement of their conscious states, more you want to maintain some control of the growth of the methods. Perhaps this requires more information and training at the lower levels, to more people in general. Perhaps you can step downward and offer a different route to reach a courageous level.

Hope that helps. I think this kind of advice (from all of your friends, above) is hard to compensate - nor does it necessarily require a specific value in attempt.

If you feel that the high-level teachings are being compromised by being too easily accessible, then by all means introduce a buyer-screening system!

You already mentioned that ninja ways are not for those in their first judo class. We could mention other skill-learning processes, like driving– you don’t give a 16 year old kid who’s barely learned to handle the family car a FORMULA ONE RACE CAR! And likewise first time meditators aren’t admitted to three-month solo retreats, nor are college freshmen normally admitted to gradute level-seminars! No, there are years of pre-requisites to work through… and convincing letters of intention to be written!

Especially if you feel that the groundwork (eg, developing maturity, unconditional compassion for others, and foundational relationship experience) is being skipped by some of your buyer/students, then some more involvement on your part is needed in these higher levels.

Like Hypnotica says “I don’t teach this stuff to just anyone.”

btw, just looking at your site for the first time today. Awesome! Im new to the whole science and art of PU-ology… what a fascinating world!

Now from a business perspective I might see a negative with this.
The only downside I see of this would be expense as I’m sure
you will have to spend a lot of money to have people calibrate
for you all the time. Usually the process of people buying
products online is automated and at no expense.

I would also raise the price of it. This way you will get much
more serious people, not so many “samplers”. The more expensive
it is the more people will value it as well. I think this alone
will raise the quality of customers. But then to further refine
it, calibration if it is affordable gets my vote.

What are your intentions for utilizing the information in this product?

How do you / would you engage with women in a bar or nightclub?

Where would you like to meet / find / pick up women who would be capable of this lifestyle?

Describe to me your idea of what a relationship circle consists of?

What types of women do you think are ready for a cirlce?

I know that in NLP based coaching they talk about getting in the zone and being able to design unique questions that will unlock the true intentions behind the individual. In my experience, coaching is generally done on a person to person basis, over the phone, or in person due to the reliance on voice inflections and micro-expressions in the face to determine the line of questioning.

Now that is what I would do, but I have lots of time on my hands. As I was writing this I thought of another solution that may fit your system better.

Steph, I think that the BGTP is a complex program with many complex and different people looking to buy it, I believe that to screen the applicants you or someone with IG will have to speak to them directly (phone or face) or you will simply have to base your decision in your own intuition.

Personally I feel that your intuition is at a level enabling you to judge the character of the applicant and decide as soon as you see the order whether or not this particular person is eligable (like a restaraunt owner turning away someone without any clothes on).

I believe that if you took this stance it would save you time, energy, and money; as well as heartache and arguments over the students who are completely missing the point of what you are teaching. You simply reserve the right to refuse to sell the BGTP anyone who wants it. Just like any other business.

Setting benchmarks of posts, or questionaires, or even coaching clients can be misleading or manipulative because people can think or do whatever they want to get whatever they want. I think that you already knew the answer to this question, but I’m glad that I have had the opportunity to possibly get a free copy of the BGTP, I think I might of bought it, but I trashed all my IG products when I went through the “I hate the teacher that taught me that I can learn best from myself” phase a few months ago. Anyway bro, you will come to the right conclusions on this complicated matter.

Peace and Chicken Grease,
