This is a special podcast.

Partially because my guest, Brent Adamson of the CEB, is such an expert and entertaining speaker.

But perhaps more because the topic is so critical.

As I mentioned in Why Being An Expert Won't Get You Clients, we're in an era where it's becoming tougher and tougher to sell premium solutions to our clients. Time and time again a service we know will bring huge benefits is turned down in favour of a cheaper option, or the client just doesn't move ahead and do anything.

It's not just because of the way we're marketing and selling to clients; it's because the way they're buying has changed.

In this podcast Brent dissects the way corporate clients buy today, based his extensive research at the CEB. And he highlights what service providers like us MUST do if we want to win clients for our premium services in today's new buying environment.
