Employee Advocacy:  How to turn your staff into brand ambassadors

Whether you’re in sales or not - most jobs today require communication, cooperation, and making sure you have your stakeholders’ attention.

But no matter who they are - customers, students, alumni, media, corporate partners, granting agencies, foundations and government policy makers, or even your co-workers - attention is hard to come by these days. It’s even harder to come by a budget; in this unprecedented time of uncertainty, customers aren't buying. They're not even forecasting. 

Join ExpertFile for an insightful discussion with leading sales and marketing expert Jeff Molander and learn how to provoke and advance important conversations to generate future prospects even in the most uncertain times. In this session, you will learn a new methodology to achieve better results - it’s time to rethink how you manage your sales and communications outreach.

What We’ll Cover in this Session
-------------------------------------- 

*Why it's time to stop selling and focus more on identifying people who likely need your solution
*How predicting future circumstances and taking a bold, unconventional way to provoke and forward conversations will lead to better results 
*How to understand the message patterns that trigger unwanted reactions - and the psychological triggers that work more effectively 
*Why conventional outreach approaches using email and social platforms (such as LinkedIn) that worked before will not work effectively today.

How to Sell When Nobody is Buying

Join ExpertFile for an insightful discussion with leading crisis communications expert Conway Fraser.  While it can take years to build a stellar reputation, it takes only moments to destroy it. This has never been more relevant than it is today with social media mobs and an increasingly aggressive 24-hour news cycle that’s often intent on getting it first over getting it right. Conway Fraser has seen it more times than he can count. First, as a Gemini Award-winning CBC investigative journalist and, for the past decade, as a communications fixer for companies and CEOs around the world. He is the co-author of the Amazon international bestseller "Leaders Under Fire: The CEO’s Survival Guide to Navigating Corporate Crisis" and is an advisor to clients on issues related to reputation management in sectors as diverse as higher education, professional services, technology, natural resources and healthcare.  Join us for an engaging session where Conway will share important tips on how to best overcome challenging situations, even a cancel campaign, and come out in an even better position. All attendees will receive a digital/audio copy of “Leaders Under Fire.”

Navigating Uncharted Waters: How to strategically deal with corporate crisis

Learn the revenue potential of launching your own Trusted Advisor Program and start generating Expert Qualified Leads for your organization.

According to the Edelman Trust Barometer, experts are of top importance by potential buyers; yet most organizations have focused more on products and services and keep their expertise hidden. This is changing as evidence emerges that proves the value of making experts more approachable at the front end of the sales process.

For example, IBM’s new “Expert Advice” program is generating thousands of leads by making key employees available for one on one phone calls with prospects for an informed, no pressure conversation. IBM also reports that conversion rates (from consultation to pipeline) are 30% or 400% higher than some of their other, more conventional marketing programs. Furthermore, 40% of the leads they are generating are “white space” accounts that were not on IBM’s radar. 

Are you selling in a complex market or implementing an Account Based Marketing program? Are you selling in a B2B market such as technology or professional services? Then it’s critical you and your team understands how experts fit into your marketing and sales programs to drive new business.
