Social MediaSupplier, Vendor, or Trusted Advisor? (You Choose)Becoming a trusted advisor in a sea of average, wanna-be’s, and fakes

“I’m a Trusted Advisor” is on the lips of just about everyone. But in the minds of 100% of your clients, is it 100% true, 100% of the time? (Not usually!)

It’s clear why this is important: there are many who are experts, and there are many who may be cheaper, but the fundamental differentiator will always be trust. Every touchpoint either strengthens or weakens it, as does each marketing decision you make.

Supplier? Vendor? Advisor? Forget it! In this presentation, Randall shares new models on becoming a Trusted Advisor, how to grow your business with this positioning, along with specific and practical examples of how to start.

Note:  In this presentation, Randall gives a reality check, and describes what is really necessary to retool to differentiate, connect, and engage.

This presentation can be delivered as a keynote, workshop, virtual presentation, roundtable, or master class.
