The Truth Behind Professional Services Marketing

image

Not many children grow up dreaming of being a marketer in the A/E/C industries (yet). Many A/E/C marketers report that they fell into this business, without realizing its existence or feeling prepared to sell professional services. Presenter Jen McGovern, CPSM, completely understands that feeling: When a friend shared a job posting for a marketer at an engineering firm, her reaction was, “But I’m not an engineer!”

Ten years later, Jen still isn’t an engineer—but she has learned a lot about the wonderful world of professional services marketing. In this program, Jen will share stories and insight into common questions marketers wish they knew when they began (but were afraid to ask). During our webinar, you’ll learn:

  • The history of professional services marketing
  • How it differs from traditional marketing
  • What skills are most needed for the profession and A/E/C industries
  • How to use those skills to get prepared and succeed

 

Whether you’re new to the A/E/C industries, considering a career change, or looking for that intro class you wish you had in your first week, SMPS is here to help! 

If you can’t make it on November 17, you can purchase the webinar in advance and watch at your convenience.
