Breakfast Brown Bag: How to Market Your Professional Service
Whether you are a business coach, an HR consultant, or a real estate agent, when you market professional services, you are selling yourself, your personality, and your experience. Often the tactics you select for marketing a service are quite different from product marketing. How do you know whether a Groupon or an ad in 5280 Magazine will bring you more clients? Should you go to networking events or spend your time bulking up your internet marketing instead? Marketing a professional service takes careful planning and strategizing. The success of professional service marketing depends very heavily on reputation and brand. Therefore, a successful strategy will include a specific effort to leverage name recognition, branding, and reputation. In this seminar, you will learn how to prepare a marketing strategy within your set budget with tactics that work specifically for your company and the professional service you provide. You will leave with a workbook that includes tools to define your target market, clarify your differentiators, and conduct a SWOT and competitors' analysis.
