When do I sell more?
• Every time it makes sense for the client.– “What if I just sold them something?”
• Ask him or her.– “Our team has done an analysis of your site
traffic over the last 90 days and we have some recommendations we want to share with you.
– Can we do this prior to our next monthly meeting/call? We believe the impact will be significant.”
Tips & Best Practices
• Time-bound price quotes, ideally in Scope of Work format
• 3,4 or 5 strikes and “you’re out?”
• Not all clients are created equal – be smart about where you focus your time
Know Your Client
• I know enough about digital marketing to be dangerous; that’s why I hire agencies.
• I expect my agency to make me look good to my peers and superiors. I do not have time to micro manage their efforts.
• I would like to keep up on all the current digital trends, but it changes so fast I have a hard time feeling as current as I would like.
• Small, bite-sized pieces of the important stuff (the really important stuff) is always great.
Teach [& Connect] Your Client
• Industry conferences
• Industry papers, studies
• Books
• Lunch & Learns

• Blog posts
• E-Newsletters
