When that prospect who has never met you looks at your marketing material, do they react by contacting you? Marketing collateral is one of the best ways to inform your prospects of your skills. Collateral conveys your positioning, differentiation, pricing and other marketing messages. It is part of connecting with your prospects before you even meet, as well as convincing them that you are the best person for the job.

Agenda
In addition to a website, there are a few basic pieces of marketing collateral that are very important to building visibility and credibility for the engineering consultant. These will be described, along with examples:

  • Marketing collateral defined
  • Key attributes of quality, persuasive marketing collateral
  • Personal Profile – Resumes, CVs, LinkedIn Public Profiles
  • Solution Profile – How you help clients
  • Scope of Effort/Methodology – How you uniquely solve problems
  • Case Studies/White Papers

Attendees will take away:

  • A first version of your marketing collateral plan that you will develop during the seminar
  • Understanding of a process by which you can take your marketing collateral up to the next level
  • PowerPoint handouts
  • Exercise material handouts
