Terry Rice: 我将分享我从小型项目转向与大型品牌合作的历程,并提供一些实用建议。这包括理解企业文化,简化复杂知识以增加可衡量的价值,以及将自己定位为比内部团队更具成本效益的解决方案。我还将分享一些个人挑战,例如被Facebook解雇,这让我重新定义了自我认同和成功。我会介绍一些切实可行的策略,例如“楔子策略”,它利用审核、培训和演讲作为获得更大交易的切入点。我还将分享关于定价、信心和交付投资回报率的真知灼见。 我通过提供审核服务意外地发现了“楔子策略”的有效性。一家私募股权公司联系我,让我审核他们即将收购的一家电子商务公司。我为他们提供了审核,他们很满意,并要求我创建一个可重复使用的系统,以便他们将来使用。这让我意识到审核可以转化为更多业务。 与营销机构合作也是一种有效的“楔子策略”。我为营销机构的新员工提供培训,由于机构人员流动性大,我不断接到培训新员工的请求,并由此获得咨询合同。 大型公司有时缺乏新的视角,这为顾问提供了机会。我曾为沃尔玛提供咨询服务,发现他们缺乏新的想法。这表明,你不需要比客户更聪明,只需要提供不同的视角。 在LinkedIn上与目标受众互动,可以帮助你建立关系,并获得咨询合同。通过参与他们的内容,提出有见地的评论和问题,可以开启对话。 演讲也是一种有效的“楔子策略”。在私营公司的活动中演讲后,你可以调查听众的反馈,并根据他们的需求提供咨询服务。 为大型企业客户定价时,要考虑你提供的服务的价值和潜在的投资回报率。你可以根据服务的价值和潜在的投资回报率来定价,并考虑客户的预算。 被Facebook解雇让我经历了身份危机,但我最终获得了更大的成功,并从中吸取了宝贵的教训。我学会了拥有自己的身份,并帮助其他面临类似挑战的人。 我年轻时过于自负,这掩盖了我的不安全感,我应该更早地解决这个问题。 Rudy Mawer: 我与Terry Rice讨论了如何获得大型企业合同的技巧。我们讨论了“楔子策略”,这是一种通过提供较小的服务(例如审核)来进入大型项目的方法。 我们还讨论了与营销机构合作的策略,以及如何利用培训和演讲来获得大型企业客户。 我们还讨论了如何与大型企业客户沟通,以及如何为你的服务定价。 最后,我们讨论了如何在LinkedIn上与目标受众互动,以及如何建立客户推荐系统。
