Tom Trenta runs the research and strategy agency Positive in Chicago. Previously, he was Chief Strategist at EggStrategy and a VP of Account Planning at Leo Burnett. The point of the CV is he's been working strategy since the 1990s and he sells it every day. So, how do people buy strategy? How has selling strategy changed? What makes selling strategy difficult? And if you sell strategy for 20 years, what are realistic expectations about the career and the likelihood of your thinking being able to affect any given project?
