Join MAS for the January Seminar discussing how your firm can develop and capture more work. Please note the change from the usual date. Networking starts at 7:30am and the meeting starts promptly at 8:00am.
Dr. Janet Sanders will answer the following questions and more, leveraging her 25 years of communications and consulting experience, as well as her management tenures with Fortune 500 companies:
-How can we get decision-makers to want us if we don't know who they are?
-How can we convince decision-makers we'll give them what they want and need if we don't know what that is?
-How can we demonstrate we're better than the competition when we don't know who else is on the short list?
-How can we build rapport and trust with people unknown to us?
-How can we explain possible solutions to challenges hidden from us?
Justice should be blind, but strategy can't be. This workshop identifies the data a firm needs to wire the work, be #1 at the end of a competitive selection, and how to find the work. Participants will come away with a list of critical questions - as well as tools and techniques for getting answers that a variety of firm personnel can employ - to win more.
