In today's market, there are two types of consultants: those who passively wait for the phone to ring, hoping their reputation brings in the next deal, and those who proactively shape their clients' thinking and create their own opportunities. One is struggling; the other one is building a future-proof book of business. So what's the real difference? Well, one is an Activator.
I'm here with Matt Dixon, author of the well-known book The Challenger Sale, and the researcher who literally wrote the book on this topic. He studied thousands of people working in professional services, and that includes many, many consultants, to decode what the absolute best are doing differently. So don't go anywhere because Matt is about to give you the three core mindsets of a top performer and show you how to shift from just being an Expert to becoming the Activator your clients truly and deeply value.
