Every quarter we run our infamous business transformation contest for the firms that we work with.

This is where our clients (you) compete by telling the most heart-wrenching and compelling story about how your life and business has been transformed through your work with us.

Up for grabs is the title of the "Action-Taker of the Quarter" - and yes, there can be only one.

The best entries from the quarterly competitions then compete for the grand prize: a $2,000 travel voucher which is awarded every year at the annual Business Development Summit. With your travel voucher you can travel anywhere in the world. 

If you come to the world’s most beautiful country - New Zealand, I will take you out for lunch (at a very fine restaurant - Charley Nobels on Custom House Quay) and we will come up with some marketing plans to lift your business even higher.

Actually, we're going to give out up to 10 (count them) TEN prizes to make it even easier for you to win. Of course, there's only one GRAND PRIZE (with the trip to NZ, Hawaii, or wherever you wish) however we've decided to award a total of 5 Winners and 5 Honorable Mentions!​

Firstly - How to win?

The Grand Prize Winner will be decided by the votes received at the annual Architect Business Development Summit in New York City. You do not have to attend the conference but you could at least guarantee one vote...

How to Enter

You can enter by video, in writing or in person at the Summit in NYC.

OPTION 1 - MAKE A VIDEO​, TELL US YOUR STORY

1. Record a 3 minute (maximum) video presentation of how you 'transformed' yourself because of something you learned from the Architect Marketing Institute.
   
   Also - if you can, do another video, a 3rd party video (for example, a video of your husband or wife telling us about how the marketing system has changed your life, or how you have changed because of it - or showing what you were able to buy because of it...) also submit one of those videos and send me the link
   
2. Send us your video file (use Dropbox or similar) or post your video on your personal YouTube account (make sure the video is marked as a ‘public’ video). If you don't have a YouTube account, contact us and we'll help you set one up (it's quick and easy).
