Summary:
This course is needed now more than ever because of the global recession that is challenging agencies. In a recession, leaders of organisations become much more value focused, i.e., they are only prepared to invest in things that will deliver a clear return on investment. This is often misread by agency owners as clients becoming more cost conscious, because the search for value inevitably leads to cutting the costs associated with activities that do not demonstrate a clear return.
The latest research from the PRCA demonstrates that 83% of agencies do not sell by value. This represents a significant threat to their future during the recession because it means there is unlikely to be the proof needed to sustain the budgets clients currently allocate for their services. If agencies don’t start proving the business value of what they do, the consequences (based on previous recessions) are likely to be loss of income and talent, and a significant impact on the future potential of the agency.
The course is designed to demystify how to move quickly to a value rather than time-based agency model.
The course acts as a step-by-step guide to making the transformation.
