One of our headline speakers is Marcus Sheridan, a globally recognized communication expert, bestselling author, and keynote speaker. His They Ask, You Answer framework (now Endless Customers) has been named a “Top 5 Marketing Book of All Time” and has transformed how businesses build trust and win customers.

👉 Register now at https://www.tapintothefuture.ai to join Marcus Sheridan and other industry leaders at TAP Into The Future, October 3–5, 2025, in Savannah, GA.

In this special episode of the Service Business Mastery Podcast, hosts Tersh Blissett and Josh Crouch sit down with Marcus to give you a taste of the strategies he’ll share on stage at TAP Into The Future.

Marcus is Co-Founder of PriceGuide and The Question First Group, Partner at River Pools, and the founder of the They Ask, You Answer movement — a USA Today bestseller with over 100,000 copies sold. His work has reshaped how businesses communicate, focusing on transparency, trust, and empowering customers with information.

🎤 TAP Session Preview:

At TAP, Marcus will present a life-changing framework to:

  • Earn more trust from customers

  • Attract higher-quality leads

  • Stand out from the noise in a crowded market

He’ll tackle two of the biggest challenges facing modern B2B and B2C businesses:

  1. How to evolve your business model for a more informed, less patient, and more digital customer

  2. How to position your brand as the voice of trust in your industry while still driving growth

In this episode, you’ll hear a preview of that session, including how contractors and service business owners can use transparent content — such as openly sharing pricing, creating helpful videos, and addressing customer questions online — to build authority and drive sales.

📚 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • How sharing pricing openly can build customer trust

  • Why being transparent helps your brand stand out

  • How to use content to answer common questions

  • Why pricing calculators attract more leads

  • How honest information can lead to more business and referrals
