Event Overview
This PRCA webinar examines what actually happens in the sales process – from the client’s point of view. Every PR contract is the result of someone deciding to go with one consultancy rather than three or four others – who most likely all have the experience, competence and ideas to do an equally good job. But the client has to pick one.
The idea behind this approach to new business pitching is to make it virtually impossible for the client to choose anyone else. It is based on the concept of ‘earning the right to the sale’. The client is faced with a tricky problem: how to make the right choice when he or she has insufficient information to work with. Some clients are well-versed in PR and know the consultancy sector well; most are not, and don’t. This course suggests a technique which will maximise your chances of being chosen on the day.
How attendees will benefit
Attendees learn how to sharpen up their pitching skills; how to align their proposals with the client’s real objectives; how to make their pitches gripping and memorable; and how to manage various kinds of client behaviour during the presentation. The outcome: attendees will increase their win-rate.
