Why this workshop and
why now
their experiences and results
Join Blair and the Win Without Pitching® team
at a workshop if...
- You have read one or both of Blair's books and are eager to put these theories into practice
- You are ready to trade the tyranny of hourly and materials-based billing for the profitability of value-based pricing
- You would rather derail the RFP with a one-page proposal and get paid for your valuable strategic thinking
-
You
dislikehate sales but know you need to master the mindset and strategies if you are to stay alive and thrive - You know that the world does not need another generalist firm and want to position your firm as an expert one
- You want to get your team up to speed on the Win Without Pitching methodology — quickly
- You are excited to get into a room with a select group of your peers and talk shop with people who "get it"
Over the years, I've had so many people listen to me or read my books and think, 'Yeah, nice theory, Blair, but it's not really applicable in my part of the world or to my type of business.'
So I challenge you to join us at a workshop and meet some of these people who are living these principles every day. You'll see that it can be done in your firm.
