🎤 TAP Session Preview:

At TAP, Marcus will present a life-changing framework to:

• Earn more trust from customers

• Attract higher-quality leads

• Stand out from the noise in a crowded market

He'll tackle two of the biggest challenges facing modern B2B and B2C businesses:

1. How to evolve your business model for a more informed, less patient, and more digital customer

2. How to position your brand as the voice of trust in your industry while still driving growth

In this episode, you'll hear a preview of that session, including how contractors and service business owners can use transparent content — such as openly sharing pricing, creating helpful videos, and addressing customer questions online — to build authority and drive sales.

📚 What You'll Learn in This Episode:

• How sharing pricing openly can build customer trust

• Why being transparent helps your brand stand out

• How to use content to answer common questions

• Why pricing calculators attract more leads

• How honest information can lead to more business and referrals
