Selling Creative Work to Clients and Prospects

The challenge with getting clients to accept great creative work is that the client often cannot see what makes the creative great.  The creative staff and the client simply think differently and overcoming that challenge can be the key to getting work approved.

Join Mark Schnurman as he provides you with the tools and language necessary to generate enthusiasm for your ideas and, most importantly, help you get clients to willingly and enthusiastically follow your recommendations.

This webinar is designed to insure that your best ideas are accepted and not watered down through multiple trips back to the drawing board.  The end result is better work, less negotiation over executional details and less time spent implementing your client’s suggestions.

Key takeaways:

• Getting clients excited about the creative, so that they are willing to take a risk 
• Getting clients to concentrate on the concept rather than the executional detail (font, color, casting decision, etc.)
• Presenting ideas with greater impact, clarity and focus
• Helping all types of clients understand and personally relate to the creative
• Becoming more persuasive 
• Creating more “theater of the mind” through setup and physical delivery of concepts
• Establishing the creative staff’s credibility in the mind of the client.

Who should attend:

• Must attend!  -- Creative staff that presents work to clients or prospects
• Must attend!  -- Account staff that present creative work to clients or prospects
