 Hello, welcome to the programme. It's a one-day stimulating and highly practical masterclass in building your successful professional marketing services agency or consultancy business. I'm Caroline Cook, I'm a course director with the CIM and run my own consultancy brand leadership group. In my business I'm privileged to work with some fantastic Fortune 500 and FTSE 100 global companies and amazing smaller companies too. I know first hand that creating a successful consultancy or agency with a clear proposition and consistent growing client base isn't easy. So I've structured this programme to share my experiences with you and bring you the practical tools and techniques that can help build your confidence in taking the next steps to success. You'll be looking at how to spot growth opportunities and set a motivating ambition for your business that will connect with client aspirations, then build the compelling, differentiated, distinctive value proposition and reputation that fulfills that. Importantly you'll be looking at how to nurture a growth innovative mindset to collaborate and compete effectively and how to promote network prospect and build productive relationships. You'll also be thinking about how to diagnose client challenges, building winning proposals that add value. Along the way you'll be considering how to manage your motivation and foster resilience. The programme will give you an opportunity to develop your network with like minded individuals, share common challenges and learn from others experiences. You'll leave with a roadmap for developing a winning growth plan for your consultancy or agency, brand and business that can help take you to the next level. So if you're a professional marketeer who's consolidating your first steps into the consultancy or agency space and want to take your business to the next level, this programme is for you. It's a new course at CIM and proving to be very popular, numbers are unfortunately limited, so if you want to reserve a space it's a good idea to sign up now.
