You’ve secured that all important new business meeting with your dream client, congratulations! But now, the real challenge begins...how exactly do you make a lasting impression during that crucial first chemistry session? The first meeting isn’t just about showcasing your agency, it’s about building a genuine connection. It’s your opportunity to listen closely, understand the brand’s unique needs, and identify the pain points you can help solve. This is where many agencies slip up by focusing too much on what they offer, rather than focusing on what the brand needs. The key to success chemistry meetings? Listen closely to what they're looking for, get clear on their unique business challenges, share some ideas and tailor your expertise as the solution. Once you've got that nailed down, you'll be well on your way to creating the perfect brand-agency partnership! And for all the details on exactly how to do that, we've shared all the insights from our new business experts in a handy guide to get you started. 👇 https://lnkd.in/e76ek5_7
