Websites & Hair - Everybody Hates Theirs.

It's true.
Everyone like my website but me. Just looking at the first two sentences of the home page (which everyone tells me not to change), you see the following:

Ted Demopoulos is a speaker, author, and consultant who is passionate about technology, business, and especially their intersection.

Ted helps individuals and organizations make informed decisions about technology and business through his keynotes, consulting services, and seminars.

See the blatantly obvious and horrific problem?? The first sentence adds next to nothing.

It says I'm a speaker, author, and consultant who blah blah blah. Doesn't the second sentence pretty much say the same - no, not exactly, but close. There are too many words, saying not enough. Repetition is not necessary bad, but inappropriate here - it's in back to back sentences.

Oh, and this nonsense about "speaker, author, and consultant." Rarely does anyone hire a speaker, author, or consultant.

They hire an EXPERT who happens to speak, consult, write, etc. Not only am I concentrating on what I do instead of what I (allegedly) am, but I'm appealing to logic instead of emotion.

Need something done that you have no in house expertise in, you could hire a consultant - that's logical. Or, you could hire an expert - hey, that's sexier, that's cool, that gives you a warm feeling inside!

My clients are preferably human, at least most of them. Emotion sells. When I work for Vulcans I go for the "logical" sale.

Besides, consultants can screwup, as can the person who hired them. Experts? If the situation is hopeless, the outcome may be less than ideal, but with an expert, hey, you got the best help money can buy! It's not the expert's fault nor the person who hired them.

So, what am I an expert at? Social media? Information security? High tech entrepreneurial issues? Well, I'm a consultant - we're all experts at everything :)
