  The “PULL” Keynote

  Keith Chambers, President, The Chambers Group

  TOPIC CATEGORY: Business

  Working with the demands of America's Fortune 500 brands, Keith developed a process of creating selling propositions that are so accurately targeted to consumers that they automatically trigger the consumer to make the purchase decision. That kind of marketing until now has been exclusive to corporate America. Knowing his process was also perfect for entrepreneurs, Keith wrote his critically acclaimed book Pull: Marketing Secrets The Fortune 100 Use. MORE >

  More recently, in keeping with the spirit of the book, Keith has created the Pull Keynote, where he shares exactly how he develops the eight elements of your brand's sales message. Your sales message is your pitch, and it's made up of the words and graphics your customer sees. It may be exposed on a website, a storefront, a brochure, a billboard, a consumer package, or any other point where consumers encounter your brand's message. In the Pull Keynote, attendees rethink their critical sales message directly with Keith, and the reward is more conversions. It is high-profile, new-age marketing at its very best, and the attendees will love it.

  Creating Narrative Tension

  Bill Johnson, Bill Johnson Script Consulting

  TOPIC CATEGORY: Educational

  The concept of narrative tension goes to the heart of what a storyteller creates to draw in and maintain a hold on the attention of an audience. When a story's audience is drawn in to feel tension over the course and outcome of a story, that audience will feel a need to experience the relief offered by a story’s resolution and fulfillment. MORE >

  To heighten a story’s narrative tension, a well-designed plot creates growing obstacles to how a situation that revolves around an issue of human need will be resolved. Hence the emotional investment -- and ultimately, the relief -- of the audience grows. Conversely, if the characters in a story don’t feel a tension that drives their actions to overcome obstacles to resolve what's at stake in a story-- to find true love in a romantic story, for example -- why should the audience feel a sense of tension over the story’s outcome?

  A script that lacks narrative tension risks becoming a sterile accounting of events.

  Will Technology Kill Your Commoditized Practice?

  Vic Clement, Principal, Financial Essentials 4 Life

  TOPIC CATEGORY: Financial

  Technologies such as block chain and artificial intelligence are beginning to intrude on the delivery of commoditized professional services. Although the technologies have been around for some time, we're just beginning to see the tip of the accelerated commoditization iceberg. MORE >

  It's difficult for many professionals to imagine, but just as robotics replaced humans in low level manufacturing tasks, artificial intelligence and machine learning will replace humans in low level, high commodity, information-based tasks. It's only a matter of time, and that timeline is shrinking. The most readily visible examples are tax returns, insurance, medical diagnoses and prescriptions, investments, and others.

  Vic Clement discusses methods of redefining your role and transforming your practice to decommoditize and compete at a level that information technology can't reach - the human level. Taking a deep dive into the modern psyche, Vic shares his experience and lessons learned from transforming his own practice and, thereby, improved his client's lives and, more importantly, his own life by building his practice around his own aspirations.
