For over 30 years, I’ve worked in the trenches of agency new business strategy, working alongside and consulting with hundreds of agencies, business coaches, and consultants — teaching them how to plant their flag of authority within the markets they serve, grow their audience, and fill their sales pipeline with a steady stream of right-fit clients so they can win new business.

I founded Predictive ROI in 2009 and remain its CEO and co-owner, working alongside my business partner, Erik Jensen. I host the “Onward Nation” and “Sell with Authority” podcasts with listeners in over 140 countries and over 1,000 episodes. My agency new business and marketing insights have been featured in major media, and I’m the bestselling author of five books, including my latest entitled, “Sell With Authority.”

Here’s my hope for this solocast – to share an overall framework and principles for how you can architect your conversations with prospective clients so the discussions are super helpful to your prospects — and so the sessions feel like teaching. But — what you’re actually doing is demonstrating your methodology in action. And when you do that with excellence — there will be a moment in your discussion where your prospect says something like, “Wait a minute…I see what you’re doing here…and it’s awesome!”

It is absolutely possible to teach and sell simultaneously — and I’ll show you how in this episode.

During this Episode — you will learn how to:

  • How the “10 Truths of what makes someone an authority” play a vital role in this process
  • Why beginning with the end in mind is a must if you’re going to architect the right conversation with a prospect
  • Why teaching and selling simultaneously must begin with you “Eating your own dog food”
  • How to demonstrate your methodology in action during the sales process
  • How to “break the 4th wall” with your prospect in order to bring it all together
