How can professionals adjust our thinking caps to meet clients' needs in recessionary times?
MAS presents Teresa Krohn, a seasoned marketing professional, who will provide insight into the changing set of standards and values facing our clients today. In response to the recession, clients are questioning prior purchasing habits, which will result in a new reality in the industry. She will present new rules of engagement through use of the four R's - Reclaim, Retrench, Reset, and Reinvent. In times of recession, firms must rethink and reposition efforts for engaging our clients.

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.
