Course Description
Knowing when and how to bring new ideas and recommendations to clients are important skills for any agency account manager. And when it comes time to present new ideas to clients, your voice and body language can either help or hurt your chances of getting your clients to say “yes.”
Bring New Ideas to Clients is a four-part microlearning course designed to develop and enhance your ability to evaluate and sell new ideas to clients. Each course module features a short instructional video led by 4A’s thought leaders Gary Duke and Sheila Campbell of Wild Blue Yonder. To help you apply the techniques covered in the videos, each module includes an interactive questionnaire and a downloadable discussion guide that you can use on your own or in a group training session.
This course is part of the Coffee Break Video Series from Wild Blue Yonder.
