Empowering Clients to Take Ownership (a.k.a. Teach Them How to do the Little Stuff Themselves)
Agencies are resistant to let go of any business their clients may give them, but if letting go can free you up to work at a higher level where you can bring in more revenue, then why not consider ways to do that? In this free webinar, David Baker walks you through how to transfer that “transactional work” back to the client. You become a stronger strategic partner as a result, and help build your clients’ in-house departments.
In this free webinar, expert management consultant David Baker leads a conversation on setting a content strategy for your small business that can generate leads and raise awareness of your business among your prospects. You may have tactical support from staff, but consider how you’d like to be perceived in the market and start shaping that message as a team. It’s about curation, participation, dissemination, and choosing the right social media platforms for your audiences.
