Dean Jessop, author and entrepreneur

A practical perspective

Explaining change without hiding behind jargon.

Dean Jessop is the author of Recognized Before Recommended, The Great Morph and Bitcoin Building Blocks. His work focuses on turning large changes in business and technology into questions ordinary owners can act on.

He is also the founder and CEO of IRefer Club, a business-visibility company that organizes approved public information so customers and digital systems can understand what a business does, where it operates and how to contact it.

Why he wrote Recognized Before Recommended

The book grew from a repeated business problem. A company could be established, legitimate and visible when searched by name, yet remain difficult to discover when a customer began with a service, location or specific need.

Jessop developed the RBR framework to describe the sequence beneath that problem: first the correct business must be recognized, then the relevant fact must be retrievable, and then the answer must lead to a working customer action.
