Communications Audit Toolkit
Don’t waste another minute
meeting with prospects that never become clients.
Or submitting proposals for projects
that never materialize.
Or reviewing a company's marketing
materials, proposing improvements, never to hear from them again.
You should be paid for that time.
Whether you're offering design, copywriting or another service, you can
be.
Here's how: propose a Communications
Audit.
A Communications Audit is simply an
evaluation of a client's current materials in order to define criteria
for future efforts. This is something you have to do in order to work
with them anyway, so why not get paid for it?
We'll teach you how with The
Communications Audit Toolkit from Creative Business. |
