Expert Directory Frequently Asked Questions

How does it work?

The BK Expert Directory is designed to introduce corporate, government, and non-profit clients to BK authors and other qualified professionals who provide consulting, training, and speaking engagement services around the messages of BK books. After your BK expert profile is established, a potential client will provide contact information to the directory, which will forward this information to you to pursue directly with the customer.
