Celebrity Lawyer” Nick Nanton and Fit Business Insider CEO Pat Rigsby Host Fitness Business Book Conference Call Yesterday - YAHOO!

Pat Rigsby of Fit Business Insider, a website devoted to helping grow personal training businesses, hosted a conference call yesterday with Nick Nanton (“The Celebrity Lawyer”) to discuss how to write bestselling business books.

Elizabethtown, KY (PRWEB) April 11, 2012

Pat Rigsby, CEO of Fit Business Insider, hosted a conference call yesterday at 2pm with “Celebrity Lawyer” Nick Nanton. The two discussed ways fitness businesses can grow by writing bestselling fitness business books.

Rigsby and Nanton have co-authored several best-selling books over the years, including Total Body Breakthroughs and The Fit Formula as well as their most recent release: The Definitive Guide To Youth Athletic Strength, Conditioning and Performance.

“There has never been a better time to build a personal training business,” said Pat Rigsby, Co-Owner and CEO of Fit Business Insider’s parent company Fitness Consulting Group. “The field is more wide open than ever, but not every personal trainer knows how to make their fitness business profitable.”

Rigsby is co-owner of numerous successful fitness businesses. With a background as a college athletic coach, Rigsby is also a widely sought after public speaker and an author of several books on fitness business practices.

According to Rigsby and Nanton, one way fitness business owners can expand their brand and generate income is by contributing to bestselling fitness books. The two are offering such an opportunity to a select few fitness professionals as they compile their next book: The Fad Free Fitness Formula.

“Pat and I are creating a new book on fitness, and we’re looking for dedicated fitness professionals to contribute content,” Nanton explained.

“Although some fitness pros might be stepping out of their comfort zone by writing,” Nanton noted, “Best-selling authors can use that status in their fitness marketing. Of course, only the sharpest fitness minds can produce a book worthy of becoming a bestseller.”

Nanton, an Emmy winner, has worked with many celebrities and knows all about branding. He has developed and marketed business and professional experts through personal branding, media, marketing and PR to help them gain credibility and recognition for their accomplishments.

With their new book, Nanton and Rigsby believe that they can help quality fitness professionals become bestselling authors, position themselves above the competition, use the book to get new clients, use their bestseller status to market their business, and more.

While the purpose of yesterday’s teleseminar was to show fitness business owners how much a bestselling book could expand their brand, Rigsby maintains that Fit Business Insider remains true to the ideal of writing books of the highest quality for people wanting to learn about fitness.

“This new book we’re working on is going to present real advice from real fitness experts to combat all of the misleading fads that prevent so many people from achieving lasting fitness results,” Rigsby said.

TV Lawyer Sues CBS For Failing to Refer Him Clients - Hollywood Reporter

CBS Blue Logo

Hell hath no fury like a TV lawyer scorned.

Thomas Corea, an attorney based in Dallas, is suing CBS after the network's local affiliate there invited him to host the live call-in TV show, Ask the Lawyer with Tom Corea. The problem? Corea says the station didn't forward all viewer calls to his law office, which he says cost him $1.4 million in missed business opportunities.

Corea is representing his own law firm in this lawsuit. He evidently never got the message that lawyers who represent themselves have fools for clients.

According to the complaint filed in Dallas County Court, Corea was approached by CBS' KTVT for the noontime show, which he allegedly agreed to host, provided that calls be answered by a live person and then forwarded to the his law office answering service. Corea says that this was a "deal breaker" in negotiations for the show, as he was concerned with "any arrangement that could be regarded as any form of solicitation of legal representation."

Looking to obey professional ethics, or so the business-minded TV lawyer claims, Corea says he needed more than just a call sheet list of names and phone numbers.

The first show generated 1,200 phone calls, which he says prompted him to hire a call center capable of answering 1,000 phone calls simultaneously.  He also says that the show generated higher ratings than the soap The Young and the Restless.

But the amount of calls in subsequent episodes of the show then dropped off.

It's not because people ran out of legal problems, says Corea, but rather because the station allegedly failed to transfer any calls for extended periods of time during the show. He says the defendants have denied this, leading him to do a full-on investigation that revealed that only 44 percent of calls were actually reaching him. (In the complaint, he boldfaces and underlines and uses an exclamation point on this statistic.)

The parties then purportedly got into a fight about money owed for Corea's services, but in the end, the case has become about the lost business income. Corea accuses CBS of costing him 56 percent of potential business opportunities, which he "conservatively" estimates to be worth $1.4 million. He's now suing for breach of contract, unjust enrichment, fraud, deceit, tortious interference, conspiracy, deceptive trade practices, breach of special relationship, breach of confidence, unfair competition, negligence, and on and on....
