Why Clients Hire Someone Less Qualified Than You

You have twenty-two years of experience. She has eight. She got the engagement, and it took the client about four seconds to decide. In this episode Karen Yankovich puts you in the buyer's chair to show you why. You'll hire one of two consultants, refer one of them to a friend, and then read your own LinkedIn headline the way a stranger with one problem would. Then you'll get the one sentence that makes you easy to pick, and three checks to run it through. In this episode: The four-second hiring test, and why the more qualified consultant never makes the short list Why referrals go to the person a friend can describe in a single text Category first, credentials second: how buyers really choose How to write your "What is she for?" sentence, with three checks Why writing a paragraph instead of a sentence is useful information, and what to do with it Your homework: Text three people who know your work and ask, "Quick question, no wrong answer. If someone asked you what I do, what would you tell them?" Don't hint. Keep what comes back. You'll need it next week. Once you have your sentence, the next question is where to say it so it travels.
