While we wait for Bob to return, let’s look at what we’ve learned:
1. The Rick Engineering Company has been around for a long time.
This legacy of performance gives Rick a decided advantage.
For a firm in our business to thrive for over 50 years
should give our clients some reassurance that
they’ve hired a firm that knows what it’s doing.
2. The Rick Engineering Company has offers a wide range of
services.
Each of these services have stand-alone value.
Each of these services have stand-alone value.
Each of these services have stand-alone value.
But… if they are marketed as a potential array of related and
complimentary services…
there can be…
Harmony
Hey!
I’m back!!
So…
…what we are saying
is…
…let your client
know…
… that Rick offers a lot
of services…
…in addition to
the discipline
you represent.
OK. Anything else?
Rules of marketing
?
Oh yeah.
What’s the second rule of marketing?
2. Know your market.
Once you know Rick’s capabilities
and capacities...
…you can identify
potential markets for
Rick’s services.
…you should learn as much
as you can about your
market.
Maybe this question will
help...
TRUE or FALSE
TRUE or FALSE
TRUE or FALSE
TRUE or FALSE
Governments are too stretched for
resources to hire consultants.
Not exactly.
Yes. Governments are generally
revenue starved,
but…
…they still have
statutory, regulatory
and infrastructure
obligations and
responsibilities.
…like drainag
e
sewers
roads
…and development review.
But they don’t have the staff.
…and they can’t afford to
hire new people.
Especially with long term costs
related to benefits and
pensions.
So hiring consultants for the
short-term now starts to make
economic sense.
In many ways, the same can be said for
private industry,
too.
Hiring a firm like Rick can reduce
time and expense.
…and to private
firms, time is money.
So YOUR role in
marketing is pretty simple...
Perform well...
Be nice...
Keep an eye out for
opportunities...
…and you might just drum up a
little business.
