Services Sector accounts for MORE THAN 60% of the economy in developed countries. In this new era, who is responsible for managing the invisible and intangible? In the age of invisibles, what are critical acts in marketing?
Using vivid and interesting examples, the internationally acclaimed marketing guru outlines the first three critical steps, why they are critical, and how each person attending should approach and take these three steps. Using another fascinating example, he will show how one step is more critical than all others, but that too few people in business know how to take it. Because of this lack of understanding in the market, Harry will focus on nine critical acts or influences, and suggests to everyone attending how they can dramatically improve in this area, and experience significant growth and dramatically improved client retention.
Who Should Attend?
MDs, CEOs, Presidents, VPs, GMs, senior managers, profit Centre heads, brand and product heads, branch heads, entrepreneurs, account group heads, etc. Anyone with sales, marketing or client service responsibility in a company that depends on services for its revenues. In the past, the firms that have most heavily relied on these seminars and training have been banking and financial services firms, advertising agencies, media companies, retail chains, shipping, hospitality and airlines, healthcare, professional services firms (KPMG Peat Marwick, Price Waterhouse, and mid to large-sized law firms), insurance companies and IT/ITES/BPO companies, most of whom increasingly provide paid-for services (IBM, Microsoft, Compaq, Hewlett-Packard). While these are the largest firms to have held these seminars, many associations of small businesses and even sole proprietors have been major beneficiaries of these events, particularly financial planners, designers and architects, and retailers.
