Successful agencies have always been based on the strength of client relationships, but those have grown increasingly strained.
Specialization of services and the proliferation of acceptable options have given clients countless reasons to ask what have you done for me lately? Agencies need better answers.
There are a series of critical steps you can take to shift from being regarded as capable service suppliers to trusted advisors. It takes relearning what clients really need, treating their business as your own and forging unbreakable bonds:
Exceed expectations on tasks, deadlines & budgets
Identify opportunities and make surprising contributions
Make counterparts famous within their own organizations
Discuss uncomfortable truths & escalate bad news quickly
Position ideas, argue effectively and earn a seat at the table
Personalize interactions and increase ongoing engagement
Some ideas discussed will reinforce principles you already live by, others you may have tried once, meant to, or never heard of, but all are proven ways to build enduring partnerships.
Key Takeaways
Who Should Attend
All levels of every discipline with direct Client interaction, responsibility for managing expectations and providing deliverables.
