April Program
Who You Gonna Call?
(It's not Ghostbusters)
Seriously, when you have an issue or a question regarding a product need or other question, who do you call? Do you make a call or send an email to somebody you know, or do you take your chances with the email help or chat boxes on manufacturer's websites?
If you call somebody, why do you call them instead of somebody else? If you are a product representative how do you encourage
designers and contractors to call you instead of somebody else? In the CSI world, certain people get the phone calls and emails about
"CSI Stuff" before others get the phone call. Why and how do people become the "go to" source for answers or advice?
You might have heard of the term "trusted advisor." How do people become trusted advisors? There is no formal exam, but many
people will say that there is a test. And the "test" is not easy to pass.
We're having another panel discussion this month. So join us for a discussion about how people become trusted advisors.
Should you have any event questions, please contact our House Chair, Katherine Good at: events@csibaltimore.org
