Velvet Rope Playbook

Imagine walking past an exclusive club in Miami or Beverly Hills. No signs, no ads—just a long line, a clipboard-wielding bouncer, and an air of mystery. Your first thought? “What’s going on in there?” That’s the Velvet Rope Effect in action.
In this episode of The Velvet Rope Playbook Podcast, we dive into the psychology of exclusivity and why making your services harder to access makes affluent clients want them more. Most service providers make the mistake of chasing clients, but high-net-worth individuals don’t chase—they choose. If you want to attract wealthy clients, you need to stop selling like everyone else and start positioning yourself as the one they want to work with.
🚀 What You’ll Learn:
✅ Why making your services exclusive increases demand
✅ How chasing clients repels the affluent
✅ The key mindset shift that makes clients start chasing you
✅ Practical strategies to implement the Velvet Rope Effect in your business
Want to know the secret behind making affluent clients want to work with you?
The Velvet Rope Effect isn’t just about being exclusive—it’s about how you tell your story. The right messaging makes wealthy clients see you as the only choice.
That’s exactly what I teach in the Velvet Rope Storytelling Masterclass. Inside, you’ll discover how to craft a brand narrative so compelling, affluent clients feel privileged just to work with you.

Here’s the deal—if you want to attract high-net-worth clients, you can’t show up looking like a budget option. Too many agents and advisors treat their personal brand as an afterthought, hesitating to invest in premium branding, professional photography, luxury marketing, or exclusive networking events. They see these as costs instead of strategic investments.
In today’s episode, I share a story about Budget Benny, a struggling agent, and Platinum Paige, a luxury investor who only works with professionals who match her high standards. You’ll hear the moment Benny learned that if you want to sell premium, you have to look premium first.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
✅ Why high-net-worth clients judge your brand before they ever meet you
✅ The key investments that separate top-tier professionals from the rest
✅ The hidden cost of looking “affordable” in a luxury market
✅ How Platinum Paige’s decision-making process reveals what affluent clients really value

There’s a silent killer in high-end business, and it’s price competition. Too many professionals—smart, skilled, and driven—fall into the trap of undercutting the competition and justifying their value with discounts instead of positioning. But here’s the truth: wealthy clients don’t buy based on price. They buy based on confidence.
In today’s episode, I’ll introduce you to Discount Danny, a luxury consultant who learned this lesson the hard way, and Marquis Montrose, an art collector who revealed the high cost of low prices. You’ll discover why competing on price doesn’t just hurt your profits—it destroys your credibility in the affluent market.
If you want to attract high-net-worth clients and position yourself as a premium authority, this episode is a must-listen.
🔑 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
✔️ Why price competition is a dead-end strategy in luxury markets
✔️ How wealthy clients evaluate value—and why price is the least important factor
✔️ The pivotal mistake that cost Discount Danny his credibility
✔️ How to shift from discounting to positioning for premium clients

If there’s one thing I know about selling to the affluent, it’s this—indifference is your biggest enemy. The moment a high-net-worth prospect thinks, Eh, I’ll decide later, you’ve already lost. That’s why urgency isn’t just important—it’s everything.
In today’s episode, I’m sharing a story about a high-stakes deal, a man called Fast Freddie Ferraro, and how the right timing turned a maybe into a yes—before his cigar even went out.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
✅ Why urgency is the key to closing high-net-worth clients.
✅ The psychology behind decision-making in luxury sales.
✅ How a deal can be lost the second hesitation creeps in.
✅ The surprising reason why some of the slowest decision-makers move fastest when the stakes are high.
Story Spotlight: Fast Freddie Ferraro
Fast Freddie isn’t called Fast because he orders quickly at the bar—quite the opposite. But when it comes to sealing high-stakes deals, he moves with the precision of a greyhound chasing a mechanical rabbit. Tune in to find out how his approach to urgency can transform the way you sell to the affluent.
BTW-If you’ve ever lost a client to someone with less experience (and maybe even a worse offer), you know how frustrating it is.
So why does it happen? Because influence beats expertise every time.
Wealthy clients don’t choose based on who’s technically the best. They choose based on who they trust the most.
And trust? It doesn’t happen by accident. It’s built—deliberately, strategically, and intentionally.
The good news? You can learn exactly how to do it.
When you master influence, you don’t compete. You stand out. You become the go-to expert—the one they don’t just want to work with, but the one they need.
