Why Client Services are the Key to Success
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Everybody within the company should fully understand the ‘why’ of the business. Why does the company exist, and why their role helps fulfil that.
- Reputation building is about being clear about your purpose, understanding your marketplace, and making enough noise so that your target market is aware of you.
- Only 3% of our market is ready to buy at any one time. That means the sales people need thick skin because they’re going to get a lot.
BEST MOMENTS
- “Marketing is about bringing people to our table”
- “Are you problem aware?”
- “One of the most important reasons a client is attracted to a bid is because they understood us and what we need”
- “Inform, Investigate, and Inspire“
