David Deakin’s Summary
Our organisation works with Professional Services Organisations that are frustrated with the results of their efforts to grow the business and attract more profitable clients. We help them to develop and implement marketing and sales processes which attract the right customers at the right price. Then we help them to develop and implement customer service protocols and disciplines to turn customers into raving fans, ready to refer others and to do repeat business themselves.
I also publish a twice-monthly e-zine The Marketing Edge (ISSN 1756-350X). Subscribers receive a host of free gifts to help them with their marketing. To read back-issues online go to http://www.zee2a.com/MarketingEdge/index.html.
David Deakin’s Specialties:
We work mainly with Professional Service organisations that are business-focused, for example Accountants, Bankers, Solicitors, Architects, Occupational Psychologists.
