What this workshop diagnoses

Why most consultants
miss the client before they even meet them.

By the time a buyer reaches out to you, they’ve already made 70% of their decision. This workshop maps out what happens in the three stages before that moment — and shows you how to show up there instead.

01
The problem awareness stage
Before your client knows they need you, they’re already searching for answers. If you’re not visible at this stage, you’re invisible when it matters most — and someone else earns the trust.
02
The solution exploration stage
Buyers are researching options silently. They’re evaluating who understands their world. If your positioning doesn’t reflect their exact problem, you don’t make the shortlist — even if you’re the best fit.
03
The credibility validation stage
Before reaching out, buyers check everything — your LinkedIn, your content, your associations. This is the final filter. Most consultants fail it silently, never knowing the conversation never started.
What you’ll walk away with

A complete map of your
buyer’s invisible journey.

In 60 minutes, you’ll understand your client better than 90% of the consultants competing for the same work — and you’ll know exactly where to show up to win the conversation before it starts.

01
The 3 buyer stages — mapped
A clear, practical breakdown of what your ideal client is doing, thinking, and searching for before they ever contact you. This alone reframes how you build visibility.
02
Where you’re showing up too late
A diagnostic framework to identify which stage you’re currently missing — and what that’s costing you in terms of invisible pipeline loss.
03
The full 8-stage hiring system
Moe Fen covers the visibility half. CI Dixon covers the conversion half. Together you get the complete journey — from the moment they feel the problem to the moment they sign.
Two experts. One complete system.

The full 8 stages,
taught by the people who built them.

C.I. Dixon
CI Dixon Corporation · Stages 5–8 · Sales Partner
The social proof architecture that moves buyers — and why most consultants build it in the wrong order
What happens on the discovery call that separates consultants who get hired from consultants who get thanked and ghosted
The emotional-then-rational decision pattern — and how to support both layers with the right sequence
What consultants get wrong at the final decision stage, and how to stay in the room until the ink is dry
After the workshop

You won’t wait to be
found. You’ll be there first.

Understanding buyer psychology at this level changes everything about how you position, what content you create, and who finds you first. The consultants who win consistently aren’t better — they’re earlier.

And once they’re in the room? They’re also more prepared — because CI Dixon has taught them exactly what to do.

1

Map your buyer’s journey

Understand the three stages your client goes through before they ever reach out — and where you currently fall short.

2

Identify your entry point

Know exactly which stage you’re missing and what that looks like from your client’s perspective — without guessing.

3

Reposition for earlier visibility

Leave with a clear picture of the specific changes that move you upstream — into the stages where trust is actually built.

4

Master the full conversion arc

CI’s half of the framework gives you the conversion mechanics — so you’re not just visible, you’re hireable at every stage of the decision.

Bonus unit included

Alignable:
The referral network consultants are sleeping on.

Alignable is the largest B2B referral network in the US and Canada — built specifically for small business owners and consultants. Most people use it wrong or not at all. This bonus unit shows you how to use it to build warm referral partnerships with other consultants and create an inbound pipeline that runs alongside your LinkedIn authority.

LinkedIn builds your public authority. Alignable builds your referral network. Together they create a complete visibility system.

The Alignable bonus unit applies to US and Canadian consultants only.

🔄

A daily rhythm that takes 10–20 minutes

Once the system is set up, maintaining your Alignable presence takes 10–20 minutes a day — enough time for meaningful engagement and relationship touchpoints.

LinkedIn authority + Alignable reach — connected
