In advertising, we don’t like to use the word sales. We’ll call it “organic growth”, “business development” or “presentation.” Yet the greatest tragedy in our business are all the amazing strategies and ideas that die not because the client didn’t buy them – but because we failed to sell them. And every time we fail to sell it hurts both profit margin and portfolios, and ultimately your compensation.
In this highly interactive one-day course, you’ll learn the full art of selling great work. This course is ideal for mid to senior-level employees across departments who sell to internal/external audiences.
