Keynote Speaker:
Commodity Is As Commodity Does
Jeff Echols, Managing Principal, A/E/C, Revenue Path Group
Architects have complained for years about becoming commoditized, even about becoming irrelevant. How many times have you made the short list and realized you’re just like everyone else? How many times have you lost to the cross-town rival or out-of-town expert? How many times have you won the project only to get your fees beat down? During this session, you’ll learn the distinct process, speed and emotional triggers needed to help your client’s brain understand what you do, value what you do, and say yes to what you do. Learn the secrets and steps to help you drive more “yesses” than your competition and the three keys to driving fast-action. This session is a must for those who present and pitch for your company’s biggest opportunities.
