Build the commercial skills to manage and retain clients

Overview
In the ever-competitive world of research and insight, a key advantage lies in our ability to build strong relationships with clients and stakeholders – relationships that extend beyond project-based work to become integrated within and add value to a client’s business.

Building strong relationships isn’t about taking a client to dinner every couple of months – it’s about developing a deep commercial awareness and understanding of the challenges and opportunities clients face, as well as learning the skills to both manage and grow relationships more effectively.

Learning outcomes:

  • Develop a relationship management approach to build more business from clients
  • Maximise the effectiveness of contact initiatives, telephone calls and meetings
  • Capitalise on business opportunities with clients and contacts
  • Secure an ongoing pipeline of business with existing, occasional and lapsed clients

Who will benefit
Senior supply-side researchers, managers and directors whose role is to develop and/or retain existing clients.
