Opis: The Art of Client Service - Robert Solomon

A practical guide for providing exceptional client service Most advertising and marketing people would claim great client service is an elusive, ephemeral pursuit, not easily characterized by a precise skill set or inventory of responsibilities; this book and its author argue otherwise, claiming there are definable, actionable methods to the role, and provide guidance designed to achieve more effective work. Written by one of the industry's most knowledgeable client services executives, the book begins with a definition, then follows a path from an initial new business win to beginning, building, losing, then regaining trust with clients. It is a powerful source of counsel for those new to the business, for industry veterans who want to refresh or validate what they know, and for anyone in the middle of the journey to get better at what they do.FOREWORD xix INTRODUCTION xxiii CHAPTER 1 What Makes Great Client Service? 1 PART ONE How to Be Great with Clients CHAPTER 2 Account Management s Role 9 CHAPTER 3 Achieving the Next Level 13 CHAPTER 4 Transforming a Career into a Calling 15 PART TWO Winning New Business for Your Agency CHAPTER 5 New Business: What It Is,Why It Is Important, and Why You Should Give a Damn 19 CHAPTER 6 How to Contribute Before, During, and After Pitch Day 25 CHAPTER 7 Getting to Yes 41 PART THREE Beginning a Client Relationship CHAPTER 8 In a High TechWorld, Be Low Tech 47 CHAPTER 9 What Success Looks Like 51 CHAPTER 10 Always Manage Client Expectations from the Outset 53 CHAPTER 11 Be Multilingual 57 CHAPTER 12 Live the Client s Brand 59 CHAPTER 13 Ask, What Do My Colleagues Need to Create Great Advertising?
