Listen to host Eric Dye & guest David Fields discuss the following:

* You talk a lot about Right-Side Up thinking. Could you explain what that is?

* One of the techniques in the book I appreciated is The Turn. Tell us when to use it and why it works.

* I was surprised to read that you don’t believe consultants should differentiate. Why is that?

* Popular self-help books all tell us to look inside to build our self confidence. You say that’s the wrong place to look. Why?

* You’ve claimed that many consultants who think they need to be in front of more prospects actually are misunderstanding their problem. Can you explain that a bit more?

* Tell us more about the Five Marketing Musts…

* I thought most consultants charged an hourly rate. You suggest that’s often not the best way to charge? How come?

* Are your tips only good for certain size consulting firms or do they apply to everyone?

* I liked the section called “Become the Obvious Choice.” If you had to sum that that section up in just a word or two for my listeners, what would that be?
