“A Business Coach’s Top Ten Tactics for Marketing Professional Services”
Marketing professional services is a real and difficult challenge. The challenges of marketing professional services are different from those of marketing products. Two major reasons for the differences are that clients cannot see or touch professional services before they buy them and the professional services are often produced and consumed simultaneously. And another reason is that marketing professional services is split among marketing, sales, professional and management staff instead of a dedicated marketing and sales force. Based upon my research and my own professional experience, I developed a Top Ten Tactics for marketing professional services. My top ten tactics for marketing professional services are:

Media Relationships
Media relations is the art of building relationships of trust and mutual interest with reporters. It�s a step up from publicity for your product, service or event, or asking reporters and editors to do your marketing for you.

There's a misonception out there the media routinely pursue political or personal agendas in the way they cover stories. The real agenda is their professional success.
