Don’t miss this fast-moving session, just in time for the summer marketing season.
Learning Objectives: Attendees will understand the benefits that can come with developing a stronger marketing culture. Attendees will learn about and understand key obstacles to building a marketing culture and how to overcome them. Attendees will learn and understand key strategies and how to apply them to build a marketing culture at their CPA firm.
Session Description: For so many firms, marketing is an activity “reserved” for a very select group of people within the firm. However, these firms lack a key weapon in the fight for new business in today’s competitive marketplace - which is a firmwide marketing culture. When you work to engage everyone in the marketing process , you will have more new client wins, more cross-selling successes, greater client retention, stronger market presence, and better internal collaboration and communication. Attend this workshop to learn how you can go about it at your firm. Art has worked with dozens of firms as an internal marketing director and in a consultative role implementing strategies that show measurable results quickly, but also drive toward long-term marketing culture development |
