| Event Description | Whether through lack of resources, poor strategy, or insufficient energy to implement plans, many professional services firms fail to make lead generation work for them. Too often they spend and spend on the wrong tactics (or the rights tactics implemented poorly) and get little in return. This doesn't have to be the case with you. You can learn how to make lead generation work for your firm to find your future clients. Join Mike Schultz, president of Wellesley Hills Group and publisher of RainToday.com, in this webinar as he shares how the best firms generate leads and how you can make decisions that will work best for your firm. Sharing hard data from RainToday.com's research reports How Clients Buy: 2009 and What's Working in Lead Generation along with his experiences working with dozens of Wellesley Hills Group clients, Mike will specifically help you learn: - How to decide between all of the lead generation options such as cold calling, conference speaking, thought leadership, writing and publishing, seminars, direct mail, PR, referral programs, Internet marketing, and the rest.
- Guidelines for developing a budget that will work for lead generation
- How to avoid common mistakes professional service firms make with lead generation
- How to generate conversations with tough-to-reach decision makers
- What other companies have done that worked through real-life case studies and examples
- How to avoid spending time, energy, and dollars on tactics that are least likely to produce results for you
For many service firms, making their lead generation work will represent a change in marketing and business development strategy, process, and tactics. As process guru W. Edwards Deming said, "Change is not necessary." He followed with, "Survival is not mandatory." Register for this webinar today or become a RainToday.com member and the only firms worried about their own survival will be your competitors. |
