What Founders Say About Working With Leland & The Bottleneck Breakdown
"A Six-Figure Black Friday Weekend — And Taking Our Business Global Online."
"I first met Leland at Tony Robbins Business Mastery in January 2019, and from the very first day, he began adding extraordinary value to our business. No expectations, no transactions, no hidden agenda. Just a genuine desire to help us succeed. And the impact has been nothing short of transformational.
Early on, Leland helped us develop a Black Friday offer that generated a six-figure weekend for our relatively small yoga business. We had never experienced results anywhere close to that before!
Then, when the pandemic hit and our entire in-person yoga business was suddenly at risk, Leland helped guide us through the transition to online. His strategic insights didn't just help us survive. They helped us take our business to an entirely new level, allowing us to reach and serve students around the world in ways we never imagined possible.
Leland is an absolute genius when it comes to business strategy. But what makes him truly extraordinary is his heart. If you ever have the opportunity to join one of his masterminds, receive his coaching, or simply spend time in his presence, TAKE IT! And most importantly, act on his guidance. You'll be so grateful you did."
"From 900 to 1,600+ Paying Members, 107 New Trials in a 3-Day Promo, and Our Best Cash Month Ever."
"Working with Leland to optimize our funnel, email CTAs, and monthly flash-sale and challenge promos worked great over the last year — we scaled our online Tai Chi studio from 900 to over 1,600 paying members, hit our best month ever for cash collected, and just pulled in 107 new trials from a single 3-day Spring Special promo (our best special so far!). Thanks for helping me optimize that — our next 30-day challenge and Black Friday are already set up and ready to go!"
"This Is Exactly Where I Was Stuck — Y'all Are Really Fast, and Now Everything Is Flowing to One Place."
"When you're drinking from the fire hose, having that upfront Breakdown video and Profit Playbook gave me an immediate, digestible overview and a real checklist to follow along with — what's step one, step two, step three — with the newsletter as the core where everyone goes to the same place. I already had 32 talks from my first summit just sitting there doing nothing, which is why I needed y'all to help. Y'all are really fast! It's so good, and it's needed — this is exactly where I was stuck."
"Everyone Needs a Leland in Their Business — He'll Get You Going in the Right Direction Really, Really Fast."
"I always say that everyone needs a Leland in their business, and luckily he's my husband! He's been growing my business with me since the very beginning and has helped us create strategies to free us up to do what we really love, where we can serve other people, make money, and spend time with our family and friends. There's no one else like him. He'll look at your business, understand what you're trying to do, and get you going in the right direction really, really fast."
"The Results Are Indisputable — He Is the Most Requested Speaker We've Had, and His Skill Set in Marketing Is Unparalleled."
"I’ve worked with Leland and his team for several years now and the results are indisputable. I’ve had him speak to my students and he is the most requested speaker we’ve had as his skill set in marketing is unparalleled. Couldn’t recommend anyone higher!"
"Leland Is a Wealth of Knowledge That Catches Everyone Off Guard — Our Members Leave More Equipped Than Ever Before."
"Leland is a wealth of knowledge that catches everyone off guard. Not only is he intentionally generous with his time, he also knows what he's talking about. Every time I've invited Leland and DJ to speak to a group I'm hosting, our members leave more equipped to navigate the intricacies of modern business than ever before. If you want to stay ahead of the curve, you're in the right place."
