What are the objectives of this course?

The key objective is to give delegates confidence in asking more questions and recognise the power of curiosity, appreciating why clients love nothing more than an agency really caring about their business. We want every delegate to walk away with a vigour and mission to know more about their clients business.

Who is this course for?

This course is for Account Handlers and Junior Planners with 2-5 years experience. People who are brilliant at execution and may well have a good rapport with clients but are struggling to go beyond a good relationship and are becoming frustrated that they are not seen by clients as true business partners.
