Course Description

This session is dedicated to the possibility that a professional can increase their effectiveness in working with their customers (note, not clients) if they adopt some concepts of consulting theory.

Adopting these behaviors is not easy as it requires professionals to think differently than they have in the past. 

If you feel you can think a bit differently about your professional relationships, you are invited to attend this session led by Ed Kless, Sage senior director of partner development and strategy, who will facilitate this session.

Learning Objectives:


  • Determine strategies to increase your effectiveness in working with your customers

  • Identify various consulting theory concepts

  • Recall a different way of thinking about your professional relationships
