Marketing Program

I am best known for putting managers on the map. As your independent marketer, I create and execute a comprehensive targeted marketing plan for your firm and your separate account strategies.

​

Throughout my career, I have concentrated on establishing mutual respect and confidence with sophisticated institutional Clients and their Managers of Managers, Consultants and other Advisors – important and powerful allies for a new or undiscovered firm.

 

​My program effectively makes me an extension of your staff, so you can dedicate your time and focus on managing the portfolios. The marketing program includes: 

  • Analysis of your strategies

  • Robust presentation design

  • Coach presenters

  • Arrange meetings and calls  with prospective Clients, Managers of Managers, Consultants and Advisors

  • Represent the firm at conferences

  • Supervise all aspects of database entries

  • Compose initial RFP/RFI responses

 

When  clients sign on, I maintain responsibility for ongoing client  service and managing the relationships.

  

Presentation Design

A firm has only one chance to capture a client’s, consultant’s or advisor’s attention with an effective introduction and a presentation that resonates. To be effective, you must be remembered, and people remember stories better than statements. Messaging is critical to your firm's success.

 

The best stories contain these attributes*:

  • Simplicity

  • Surprise

  • Significance

 

​I create your unique story. This includes:

  • Analyze the performance using your software

  • Define your ‘edge’—the firm’s unique strength

  • Frame your story simply with an element of surprise or interest

  • Convey the significance of the edge

  • Design graphics, charts and tables to illustrate strengths

 

Then I “polish" your presenters:

  • Coach your team in both individual and team presentations

  • Indentify strengths and focus on differentiators

  • Tackle objections and ‘drills’ responses to difficult questions
