Communicating with Church Leaders in the 21st Century
Presenter:
David Lee
Abstract:
The House of Worship market is one of the largest purchasing sectors of new communication technologies in the United States. The church sector is also growing in Latin America along with portions of Africa and Asia. Church leaders, in particular Pastors, have studied and are grounded in their respective belief systems. However, few church leaders have significant financial or technological backgrounds. Relationship building is an important component for system integrators to understand, especially in the local church setting. Thus, how can we as systems integrators effectively communicate with church leaders to build relationships with them, gain their confidence and land the contract for upgrading or building the media in their new facility?
David Lee is CEO of Lee Communication Inc. and has served as a systems integrator for 25 years. He has designed and installed communication system in more than 25 countries. David is also a licensed minister and has an extensive academic background. His Christian and academic backgrounds combined provide in-depth understanding of the role of communication and communication technologies in the local church setting.
