It s YOUR Secret Sauce!
Paradigm Shift - Your Client is the Hero Client = HERO You = Guide Your clients are Luke Skywalker. You get to be Yoda.
Paradigm Shift - Clients Needs
Paradigm Shift - Language
Your Firms Messaging What's YOUR messaging? Does it fit within your niche? Can you say it easily? Can your entire team repeat your firm's message in a compelling manner? Do you give new hires talking points they can use to describe what the company does and why clients should hire you? And the big one - How many potential clients are you missing out on, because they cant figure out what you offer?
