Description
Project Managers and staff designers often participate in business development without realizing it: their daily interaction with clients during a project is an opportunity to leave these decision-makers with the best impression of the firm. This opportunity often gets lost as the staff focuses their attention to meeting project goals and day-to-day deadlines. This workshop will begin with a dialogue about best practices for engaging staff in business development, including how to help them strengthen client relationships, identify new project opportunities and define steps for follow-up, and educate them about how marketing functions are part of your organization. Recognizing that each firm differs in its approach to marketing, we will conclude with a brainstorm session to help attendees tailor these methods to best fit their firm's culture.
