Overview

The Overlooked Expert is the key to transforming your skills into revenue.

Today, job uncertainty is a reality in today's troubled times. Now, more than ever, individuals are looking to hedge their bets against unexpected job loss, downsizing or economic uncertainty by starting their own businesses using little more than their experience, knowledge and know-how.

Sarah Gerdes has enhanced the 10th Anniversary Edition of The Overlooked Expert with more consulting vocations, new and updated success stories, and shows how those featured nearly a decade ago have increased revenue, strengthened their market position and expanded service offerings.

Gerdes herself left the safety of a corporate job to start her own consulting firm. She wasn't an expert or equipped with multiple degrees. She was a twenty-seven year old single mother who turned her knowledge into an internationally recognized and highly profitable consulting firm. Within a year, she was featured in Fortune Magazine, invited to speak at Harvard, hired by F50 firms and two foreign governments. By year two, her client list had expanded as had her position in the industry, where she was recognized for creating the consulting niche of outsourced partner development.

In The Overlooked Expert, Gerdes opens the playbook she used for clients in more than 35 industries. You will learn how to determine your skills, price and sell your services, create partnerships to increase demand, provide incentives for sub-contractors without creating future competition and learn the best strategies and tips to giving world-class client service for long-term growth.

You will also find:
- Over 100 consulting vocations
- Step-by-step lists to generate demand for your services
- Organize and hold events to spread the word
- How to pitch and negotiate fair deals with clients
- Hire and keep good talent
- Leverage your services to products
- Recognize downturns patterns an prepare your firm
