Speaker

Rodney Schlosser is a speaker and a practitioner as SVP/Business Development & Partnerships at Asurion, a large B2B vendor based in Nashville. For 20+ years, his focus has been identifying and cultivating strong, authentic, trusted business relationships with clients and key stakeholders. He’s applied these same skills in the community as Vice Chair of DART (largest transit agency in Texas) and 8 years on Dallas’  Parks & Recreation Board. His work as a speaker began in 2021 when he built a program for his company’s external-facing leaders. UT Austin invited him in 2022 to offer the program within their executive education platform. He now speaks and leads workshops for trade associations, companies, professional service firms, and non-profit organizations. 

Engaging prospective clients has never been more challenging. Between remote work, overflowing inboxes, and social media noise, standing out takes more than a good pitch. It takes a real relationship. This workshop is built on Rodney Schlosser’s Relationships on Purpose™ framework, a practical roadmap for identifying the right connections, building genuine chemistry, and sustaining it over time. Those relationships are what let you uncover what clients truly want, not just what they say they need, so your proposals speak directly to their priorities and win more often.
