Advantage in your Creative Business
June 15, 2012

Facilitated by Thomson Dawson
Business Development Consultant to Creative Entrepreneuers
Without sales there is no business.
If you?re a self-employed creative professional, whether flying solo or leading your small creative firm, you know the importance of having a steady stream of clients and projects coming your way. The truth is many creative professionals struggle finding a steady stream of higher value clients. Many more resist the sales process altogether opting to rely on referrals for the growth of their business.
Referrals are critically important, but they?re unpredictable? not enough to grow your business with sustainable, profitable results. To succeed in the hyper-competitive creative business today, you must embrace business development and sales as the essential skill for business success. And you need a plan to guide your actions, if you are to turn greater possibilities into achievement.
Clients have abundant choice. There is no shortage of creative talent in the marketplace.
Let?s face it, when clients have abundant choice, competition is always fierce. How do you, a creative entrepreneur, gain radical advantage over would-be competitors in an ultra-competitive marketplace?
How do you find the right clients who are a perfect fit for you? How do you differentiate your business from alternatives to your firm in ways that matter to your clients? How do you command premium prices and greater profit margins when everyone else is discounting their fees just to get the gig?
How do you create more opportunity than you have capacity so you can be choosy about who you work with, and what you type of projects you?ll work on?
If you?re serious about the growth and success of your creative business you will not want to miss this opportunity to build a business development foundation and plan for growing your creative business to the next level!
Take a quantum leap in your business development success. Spend one important day working on your creative business rather than in it. Spend one day building a solid framework and foundation for your business development and sales success. Spend one day innovating your bigger, better future.
