STRATEGIC CLIENT DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOP:
Capturing and Keeping Key Clients
Speaker:
Kay C. Godwin, FSMPS, CPSM, Principal, Marketing Avenues
Growing a firm’s business depends on more than the best efforts of a business development professional: the managing principals need to focus and support the plan. Technical professionals need to think beyond the technical solutions to the client’s problem. Every member of the firm must understand and support the marketing efforts — and therein lies the problem!
How do we create a marketing culture in our firms so that our marketing and BD professionals don’t find themselves playing Lone Ranger? This workshop explores strategies and offers some answers to fundamental questions such as:
- What do our senior principals need to do to support the marketing effort?
- How can we get project managers to widen their focus and think marketing when they meet with clients?
- Who in the firm should be involved in networking?
- How does an effective client account system work?
- How do we retain our clients, and how can we keep them coming back with new projects?
- How can we most effectively work our marketing plan?
