The Visible Expert Revolution: How to Turn Ordinary Experts into Thought Leaders, Rainmakers and Industry Superstars

If you are an expert who yearns to rise to the top of your profession or build a wider reputation, your moment is now.

A quiet revolution is upending the way professional services are sought, bought and brought to market. Who are the chief actors and beneficiaries in this revolution? Ordinary experts just like you who want to make a difference-and a larger stage.

Based on more than a decade of research into hundreds of individual experts, you'll learn why the almighty referral is in decline, how today's buyers of services are hungry for authoritative information, and how you can position yourself as a buyer's top-and sometimes only-choice. At the same time, you will reach an audience far wider than you ever imagined.

The Visible Expert Revolution is your handbook to raise your profile, sharpen your expertise and command fees more than ten times higher than average. You'll uncover hidden opportunities and build a powerful visibility plan customized to your strengths, circumstances and available time. But that's not all. You'll also meet real experts across a range of professional industries who share their inspiring stories and insider advice.
