The Master Planning Process - 2009 Edition
Includes complete client briefing questions$49.00. Price includes USPS Priority Mail Shipping
This 56-page workbook walks you through the process of landing valuable new clients with a unique agency-branded consultative selling process.
The workbook provides outlines, forms, the important interview questions you need to ask your prospects, and an outline for preparing your final recommendations. The guide includes topics that the agency should address, those the client can provide and the ones that the agency and client should work on together.
This publication is even more important than past issues, because today we must understand and deal with a client's specific business problems. The strategic thinking process demands that we differentiate between a business problem and tactical tools such as emerging media, print and broadcast communications. As a professional firm, you must be able to address this issue today, and handle both equally well.
