XPX NYC - The Commitment Economy
Business relationships move forward through commitments.
A meeting gets accepted. Information gets shared. An introduction is made. A decision gets discussed. A next step is agreed. Each commitment creates movement and gives both sides a clearer sense of what happens next.
In “The Commitment Economy,” Charles Bernard explores how commitments shape sales, advisory relationships, partnerships, and business growth.
He shows how to recognize meaningful commitments, how to earn the next one, and how to build workability between people throughout a business relationship.
Drawing on decades of experience in sales and business growth, Charles gives advisors, owners, and dealmakers a practical way to evaluate relationships from the first conversation through customer, client, advocate, and partner.
Attendees will leave with a simple question they can immediately use in their own work: “What is the next commitment?”
