David Fields, Co-Founder of Ascendant Consulting, where he works with individual consultants and consulting firms across the globe that are eager to accelerate growth, increase profit and create lucrative, lifestyle-friendly practices joins Enterprise Radio.
Listen to host Eric Dye & guest David Fields discuss the following:
- You talk a lot about Right-Side Up thinking. Could you explain what that is?
- One of the techniques in the book I appreciated is The Turn. Tell us when to use it and why it works.
- I was surprised to read that you don’t believe consultants should differentiate. Why is that?
- Popular self-help books all tell us to look inside to build our self confidence. You say that’s the wrong place to look. Why?
- You’ve claimed that many consultants who think they need to be in front of more prospects actually are misunderstanding their problem. Can you explain that a bit more?
- Tell us more about the Five Marketing Musts…
- I thought most consultants charged an hourly rate. You suggest that’s often not the best way to charge? How come?
- Are your tips only good for certain size consulting firms or do they apply to everyone?
- I liked the section called “Become the Obvious Choice.” If you had to sum that that section up in just a word or two for my listeners, what would that be?
