There is no doubt that a popular, nationally-recognized guest poser is a great way to sell more tickets. The challenge in the past has been finding one who allows you to stay consistent with the drug-free bodybuilding status required of your contestants.

I am certain that I can meet your needs—and even exceed them by providing more value to your audience. Please let me introduce myself. My name is Skip La Cour and I am the 1998 NPC Team Universe Heavyweight and Overall Champion.

In addition to speaking at your pre-judging and guest posing at your finals, I am willing to conduct a seminar the morning of the pre-judging that, with enough promotion, can greatly enhance its attendance.

Now, I know what you may be thinking, "Big deal! Another seminar by a bodybuilder. Nobody attends those seminars—no matter who has them!" I can assure you this: The seminar that I conduct will be of far more value than any of the standard "Question and Answer" venues that are commonly associated with bodybuilders.

If you are familiar with my writing in bodybuilding magazines such as Ironman, All Natural Muscular Development, Great Lakes Fitness Guide, and other publications; in my book Thinking Big; or on my Internet web site (www.skiplacour.com), then you may already know that motivation is the cornerstone to everything I teach. I believe that factors such as the state of mind you put yourself in, your degree of focus, and your level of determination for training is what will make you successful. Motivation, in my opinion, is far more important than another training, diet, and supplementation method, strategy, or well-kept "secret."

For those attending the seminar who wonder (or doubt!) how I could possibly achieve such conditioning without drugs, they’re in luck also. It is my passion to share every successful training method, diet secret, and contest preparation distinction that I have ever learned in an effort to propel drug-free bodybuilding forward.

When everything is said and done, I would like to help make your event a "win-win-win" situation. The fans, you, and me will all come out winners. The fans will win by me sharing my passion and knowledge during my posing routine and seminar. You’ll win by creating an outstanding value to those fans—while boosting your attendance and gate receipts. I will win just by having the opportunity to make my living sharing my love for this great sport of ours with others.

Thank for your commitment to bodybuilding contests and thank you for your time. Regardless of your decision, I appreciate that you read this letter—and good luck with your upcoming contest!

Sincerely,

Skip La Cour
