Save The Date For Our Next EACA Chats: “New Year, New Business, New Approach” by The Great Pitch Company
On 23 January at 10 am CET, you are cordially invited to a new EACA Chat in collaboration with Marcus Brown, Founder and CEO of global consultancy The Great Pitch Company.
High on the agenda of any agency at the beginning of the year is New Business and whether you want to win more or remove inefficiencies in your new business process, this talk is for you. Marcus will explain how to break out of the ‘overburdened, understaffed new business treadmill’ that so many agencies face.
‘New Year, New Business, New Approach’ will be of interest whether you are the agency CEO, New Business or Human Resource Lead, or Finance Director of your agency. It’s also relevant for anyone who leads or works on pitches.
In this highly informative session, delegates will find out how to:
• Turn a prospect plan into a highly effective prospecting machine
• How to qualify better and whether to pitch or not to pitch
• Increase your pitch-to-win conversion rate
So, if you want to pitch less, yet win more – Marcus will explain all. Sign up now and get your New Year off to a flying start.
The event is free for all EACA members. We strongly recommend you invite your members and colleagues too!
