Becoming a Brand in the Boardroom™, presented by the New England Direct Marketing Association (NEDMA)

August 31, 2007 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
Join NEDMA for its September breakfast meeting where Caroline Bishop of Winsper, Inc. will present: “Becoming a Brand in the Boardroom: How to effectively reach the C-suite audience.” Bishop will share new approaches, strategies and trends for getting results in the boardroom.

If you’re in B-to-B direct marketing, you already know how important it is to persuade buyers and influencers at multiple levels. In fact, for many complex, high-ticket products and services, reaching the C-level audience (CEO, CFO, CIO, COO, etc.) can make – or break – your campaign.

• But how do you get past gatekeepers?
• How do you break through executive-level communications clutter?
• And how can you make sure your message resonates with the top brass at your targeted companies?

Learn how one of Boston’s hottest marketing agencies, Winsper, has developed a process for understanding the “work, home, play” of the C-suite audience, including all you need to know about:

• C-level media consumption habits
• What are their rational and emotional buying behaviors?
• How to sell-through a committee
• Building an executive-level message map and contact strategy
• How much must you invest to get a seat at the table
• And lastly, what to do after you close the business?
