The Uncommon Marketer: A Rejuvenated Way to Build Buzz, Attract Clients & Make More Money Even If You Hate Self-Promoting
Many consultants can’t figure out how to get out of the feast and famine cycle. Long hours, difficult clients and unpaid invoices leave many consultants wanting to pack it in and find a job. But it doesn’t have to be this way. There is a strategy that can help you become the most sought after expert so it becomes easier for you to attract clients and make a predictable income working less hours. If you sell a professional service and you’re ready to refresh your marketing strategy, join Leesa Barnes as she teaches you an overlooked promotional tool that’ll help you stand out in a noisy marketplace.
Telling Sells: How to Use the Power of Stories to Transform Prospects Into Profits
Consumers are distrustful, experts are no longer trusted and sales cycles have become longer as prospects use social media to validate if your results are true. But there is a way to connect with prospects and tighten sales cycles again using a rarely used technique. Join Leesa Barnes as she shares with you how an unlikely source showed her how stories can influence and inspire far better than powerpoint slides or a study stuffed with numbers. This is a must attend presentation for anyone trying to crack the code on how to turn prospects into profits in today’s distrustful and distracted marketplace.
