    Are You Being Asked to the Table? How to Become a Valued Voice, Not and Afterthought, in the Sales & Marketing Process


    July 8, 2025
    12:30pm
    Featured Speaker: Cliff Quicksell, Cliff Quicksell Associates

    Are you tired of being brought in too late—after decisions are made and budgets set? In this engaging and eye-opening webinar, industry expert Cliff Quicksell reveals how to position yourself as an indispensable part of your client’s strategy, not just another product pusher. You’ll learn how to elevate your role, lead with insight, and become the trusted voice clients rely on. If you're ready to stop reacting and start influencing, this session is your blueprint for becoming the partner they can't imagine meeting without.

    Key Takeaways: 

    • Shift from Vendor to Valued Advisor - Stop being seen as a supplier and start being regarded as a trusted resource. 
    • Lead with Strategy, Not Product - Position yourself as a problem-solver, not a catalog. 
    • Ask Powerful, Goal-Driven Questions -Go beyond “What do you need?” and start asking “What are you trying to achieve?” & MORE!
