The expert's blind spot

Are you drowning in expertise but still can't land clients? I've noticed a dangerous trend among consultants who obsess over proving their brilliance while prospects slip away. The harsh truth? Your impressive knowledge means nothing if clients can't understand how you'll solve THEIR specific problems. When you speak in jargon and technical details only your peers appreciate, you create distance instead of connection. In this episode, I break down why being relatable trumps being impressive, and reveal the simple "results mechanism" framework that transforms abstract expertise into tangible client outcomes that sell.Show Notes:Why the "ivory tower expert" approach actually repels the clients you want to attractThe car engine metaphor: why your expertise is useless without a "transmission" to deliver resultsHow Warren Buffett's investment philosophy applies perfectly to client decision-makingThe counterintuitive reason your peers should find your marketing "superficial" (and why that's good)The critical difference between collecting "voice of customer" language and understanding underlying client beliefsWhy listening at a deeper level reveals the true objections hiding beneath surface questionsThe two-part formula clients use when deciding to hire you (and why most consultants focus on the wrong part)Simple frameworks to translate your complex knowledge into language prospects actually understandHow to position yourself as both expert and partner rather than distant genius
