• Differentiation is difficult in a crowded market where expertise sounds interchangeable, making it hard to win premium mandates.
• Long, relationship-heavy sales cycles lack scalable trust signals that shorten time-to-decision for investors, sellers, and tenants.
• Credibility is fragmented across deals, press, and speaking; there’s no cohesive narrative that compounds authority over time.
✓ Inbound opportunities increase 2–4x as the book functions as a persistent, high-credibility lead magnet.
✓ Average deal size and fees rise 10–30% as positioning shifts from vendor to trusted advisor.
✓ Sales cycle time reduces 20–40% due to pre-sold trust and clearer stakeholder education.
