Many business relationships can’t seem to get out of transactional mode. That’s why Marco Ziegler flew almost 100,00 miles in one year – not to close deals, but to show up for his clients. There's a difference, and that’s the whole point.

Marco has a formula for this philosophy. And it’ll make you reconsider how you think about client relationships.

Topic Highlights:

– The Trust Equation: four variables that determine whether clients see you as a vendor or a partner

– The specific moment Marco stopped confusing vulnerability with weakness

– What nearly 100,000 miles of travel taught him about meeting people on their terms, not yours

– The mid-pitch moment that revealed a major blind spot about self-orientation

– How running the Office of the CEO reset everything he thought he knew about credibility
