Communicating with specifiers & developing a personalised persona [EVENT]

Communicating with specifiers & developing a personalised persona [EVENT]

The construction sector represents a unique challenge for the marketer. The sector’s project team is far more complex than many business-to-business markets. This is because the team responsible for designing, selecting, purchasing and installing products is usually created for a single project, employed by different organisations and then disbanded.

Designed for directors and managers with marketing roles, the first day of this 2 day training seminar commences with an overview of the construction market and the drivers influencing industry specifiers. Going on to look in detail at the stages of the specification process, the decision makers involved and how to make effective use of the communication channels available. The seminar concludes by suggesting methodologies for implementing engagement strategies.

The second optional day is a workshop day, designed as a practical session to provide practical support in the development of personas and workflows for your business. We will take you through the steps of using the Competitive Advantage persona template for developing a personalised Persona for your business, drawing on the resources of Barbour ABI to identify suitable target sectors and organisations. At the end of the workshop you will have a persona and communications workflow.
