Webinar for Consultants:
What Do
The Best Consultants
Do To Get Clients? (IEEE-USA Free
Livestream Webinar)
Consulting is a relationship business built on
trust. Consultants
build trust by focusing on displaying
credibility and providing value to clients even
before they become a client. But how does a consultant
connect with a potential client? How does a consultant
display credibility and build trust leading to a
potential client wanting the consultant's
help?
This session provides an overview of five
organic steps aimed at helping consultants
and contractors get clients. Walk away not only
with an overview of the steps but ideas to help
you with lead generation and on-going client
nurturing.

questions they'd like to have addressed may

Abstract:
|
Amateur Radio or “HAM”
transceivers have typically been
large rectangular boxes with a
myriad switches, knobs and
meters. With the advent of
digital signal processing and other
technology available today, the
functions of yesteryear’s Ham radios
can be handled digitally including
the display and controls.
Software Defined Radios eliminate
the bulk and weight of traditional
transceivers. Some SDR’s are
connected to the internet and
perform the receive function
available to all including those
without a license due to the
“receive only” functionality.
Some SDR transceivers are also
available over the internet and
allow the licensed operator to
remotely control the functions of
the radio from anywhere they have an
internet connection. This presentation describes
the concept of the Software Defined
Radio and the application in HAM
radio. He will show what they look
like in comparison to traditional
equipment and will demonstrate the
functions of both a receiver as well
as a transceiver. There is
even a phone app that acts as an SDR
for licensed users!

Bio:
|
Phil
Bautista
is a Senior IEEE Member
whose Superpower is leading teams of
people with disparate backgrounds to
accomplish common goals. He
likens it to making “Stone Soup” where
you have none of the ingredients but
organize often antithetic resources to
align and achieve desired outcomes.
While he has been an individual
contributor building hardware to
interface flight controls for the
Apache helicopter to multi-ship
simulators, written code for a
bi-directional interface between the
F-16 triaxial data bus to a PC, some
of his most gratifying work has been
leading teams to bring ideas to life
such as the world’s first microprocessor
controlled SCUBA diving
computer. His work with NASA has
provided the opportunity to learn how
to pilot the Space Shuttle, develop
applications that manage exemptions to
work during missions, and even solve
complex issues without the ability to
touch a keyboard.
