Winning New Business by Perfecting Your Pitch

In 90 minutes, prospects ask you to define your agency’s unique characteristics, explain your strategy for their brand, present creative, talk media, and still leave enough time for a Q&A.  This workshop is designed to help you squeeze every last bit of juice out of those 90 minutes.

Filament Inc.’s new business seminar is definitely not a beginner course on the ABC’s of pitching; it’s an in-depth, often critical, look at what experienced new business staff should be doing differently to help the agency win more accounts. In the session, you’ll learn how to break your agency of its bad, ineffective habits and make sure your agency takes home the prize.

Presenter:

Mark Schnurman, Filament, Inc.
