Social MediaIt’s NOT called Thought FollowershipGrowing reputation and influence

Thought Leadership?  While most professionals work hard at becoming trusted advisors, becoming a “thought leader” is far more difficult – and in today’s world, more strategic than ever.

If you do really think that you are a Thought Leader, test yourself.   In this presentation, Randall will challenge you with ten tests, and then share different ways to improve your thought leadership on each dimension.

Every presentation is completely customized for the audience, and can be delivered as a keynote, workshop, virtual presentation, or master class.

Randall will explore the two fundamental frameworks that underlie  marketing your expertise: the Trust Curve and the  Price/Expertise/Trust model – and describe how they can be used by individuals, groups, and the organization overall to support a thought leadership and trusted advisor strategy.

The presentation will also describe the changing role of content as evidence of thought leadership – and how to build content that parallels the client journey from awareness to engagement to referral.

Finally, Randall will explore how thought leadership can be leveraged through the strategic use of technology – marketing automation and CRM – to save time and improve efficiency.

***********

Based on the research in his books, Randall will share some of the newest thinking on how to use content, social media, and marketing automation to increase influence – and build sustainable competitive advantage. (And how to do this without wasting your time or blowing your budget.)

Note:  The concepts in this presentation can also be delivered in a coaching format for senior executives, professionals, and experts.
