Sessions for Small Firms | Effective Sales Planning for Doer-Sellers
This is the final course in our 2019 Sessions for Small Firms.
In professional services firms, skilled practitioners like architects, engineers, and other consultants are often responsible for finding and winning new work. These busy Doer-Sellers must balance doing the work and winning the work as they deliver on their current contractual commitments and build long-term client relationships. How can Doer-Sellers prepare for important, high-stakes conversations and meetings with prospective clients? What planning can help Doer-Sellers gain a competitive advantage when pursuing a new business opportunity? How can your firm shift from a “vendor mindset” to become a trusted advisor to your long-term clients? This interactive workshop is designed to give busy Doer-Sellers the planning concepts and tools they need to be successful “part-time salespeople”.
Intended Audience: Those interested in effectively acquiring new clients and strengthening already existing client relationships. Professionals from any sized firm will find the content applicable.
