How to Create Creds that Convert

Do your creds cut the mustard?

“Most creds decks actually turn prospects off,” says Steve Fair of Sponge New Business. “At the point where a prospect is reviewing creds decks, they have so much so much choice they’re looking to exclude you.”

“The more you say, the more chance there is you’ll say something that disqualifies you.”

In this session, Steve Fair will be hosting a “creds clinic” to help agencies improve their critical early-stage marketing. You can get hear the current best practice when it comes to creds, and get personalised feedback on how to refine your deck.
