Branded Messaging: Giving Your Company A Voice

How to Create Clear and Compelling Client Building Conversations 

 

MORE THAN 40% OF ALL INITIAL CLIENT BUILDING CONVERSATIONS NEVER MAKE IT TO A 2ND OR 3RD MEETING.

Here’s why…the natural tendency is to begin initial conversations with discussions around your company and the benefits of your products, services, and advice. Effective client building begins with a different approach – it always begins by introducing your firm through the problems you solve not the benefits of your products and services and the benefits of becoming a client.  Initial client building conversations that are not clear and compelling lead to a smaller pipeline and this constrains growth. That’s why messaging matters.

What Is It

The Branded Messaging module is a unique approach to unifying your team’s sales conversations around your firm’s Distinct Point Of View. This becomes your team’s Signature DNA, the heart of your client building strategy. It’s centered on the strategic decision on how you intend to make a difference with the select clients [and strategic partners] you wish to serve. It also becomes your way to link your firm’s brand identity to three vital conversations. The module concludes by putting written standards around your sales, marketing & client building conversations, so they remain clear, compelling, collectively understood, and consistently communicated.

We Do-It-With-You Session

Red Flag will work with your team to develop a set of clear and differentiated client-based messages. In this module you will leverage Red Flag’s industry research and insight to find clarity around your competitive advantage, what makes your services different, and how you intend to bring value to your target client in ways your competition is not. Your message is aligned to solving client’s challenges and then compelling conversations are built around your difference. 

Conversation Value Creation

Your new messaging is part of a core story that is then linked to three vital client building conversations deliberately answering three key questions – Why Change, Why Change Now, and Why Change With Your Firm.
