WHAT WE DO
STRATEGICALLY BUILDING THE FUTURE
STRATEGIC PLANNING
It's easy to be cavalier about strategy, forgoing long-term planning in favor of day-to-day operations.
When there are mandates to seek and clients to care for, strategic planning can seem a little abstract. But when you're navigating a complex market, creating a map isn't a waste of time - it's an essential first step. A strong strategic plan provides a framework for allocating resources and investments, a clear vision of where you are in the market, and a plan for where you need to be.
Regardless of the motivation to focus on strategic planning, the breadth and depth of my experience, combined with my knowledge of the culture and unique challenges of a partnership, make Daniel Lépine a natural choice to accompany you in the process.
BUSINESS PLAN
If strategic planning maps the road your business must take to promising islands, a business plan is the art of bringing your entire team together. It is essential that everyone is driven by the same goals and believes that the action items are worthwhile and realistic. It is also important to include relevant administrators (marketing, finance, IT, professional development, etc.) in the planning process. Without their support, you might as well paddle one sided.
With decades of experience leading planning teams and implementing results across various practices and industries, I'm here to guide you through a process that will produce impactful plans that generate revenue and focus your business.
MARKETING
They say that half of the advertising budget is wasted. The main problem is that you can't tell which half. I am able to develop marketing plans that start with a thorough audit of your current efforts so you can find out what is working, what is not, and how to best spend your limited marketing budget.
Data-driven marketing innovation means those days of uncertainty are over. I can implement the best marketing practices for your firm and your professionals to reduce waste (of time and money) and create smart campaigns that reach concrete targets.
The best marketing provides solutions, not staging. If you are looking to make an impact, I can help.
You cannot get to where you need to go unless you understand where you have been. As part of a marketing needs assessment, it is essential to methodically review all elements of your current program, from corporate documents. Then we will help you develop a concrete action plan.
But how do you know if your marketing outreach is landing in the right places? Data is the key to removing guesswork from marketing. I provide an analysis of your current stats so you know which efforts are generating returns and which can be safely disposed of. The next time you sit down to prepare your annual business budget, you'll know exactly how much to set aside for marketing and what to expect in return.
Sometimes you have to take a step back to make sure you're following the right path. This is never more true than when it comes to your ongoing marketing and business development activities. An audit of your marketing function will ensure that you are focusing on the needs that are most important to your strategic goals and that you are maximizing business performance.
Through our Marketing Needs Assessment process, we'll methodically examine every element of your current program, from advertising to trade shows, and make detailed, actionable recommendations on how you can make your marketing budget work. income for you.
But how do you know if your marketing plan is succeeding in the right places? By analyzing trends in your current customer base, such as industry and customer type, you can determine what is working, what is not, and where you need to spend additional resources. You'll also have a baseline to measure marketing and business development activities going forward, so no more guesswork when preparing your annual budget.
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
What is the best approach to business development? Build authentic and lasting relationships with your customers and prospects. I can help you find out what your customers need and offer advice on how best to engage in a successful dialogue with your prospects. Whether it's generating effective presentations and proposals, implementing client feedback programs, or submitting nominations for honors, I can help you grow your skills, business and income. .
In this market, obtaining new customers can be tedious. You may even find yourself presenting service offers to existing clients in order to obtain new mandates.
Responding to every RFP can cost you time, not to mention a lot of effort. I can help you produce a response to a request for proposal that positions your business in the best possible light or put the right systems in place to ensure you capitalize on the effort you put into the process.
The best professionals have one thing in common: they are determined to reach their full potential. The sad truth is that most of these come out of school knowing very little about business development or how to sell or market their practice. I give professionals and firms the tools they need to be successful, including business development coaching.
BRAND IMAGE
Every firm and professional service provider faces the same dilemma - how to distinguish the service they provide from that offered by every other firm. This is where the brand concept comes into play.
Branding is a word that is often misinterpreted. Yes, this refers to the visual expression of your business - the logo, color scheme, and images. But more importantly, it refers to an idea, a unique message capable of resonating with your target audience. It's about understanding what sets your business apart and how you can make it appealing to your audience.
To produce a distinctive brand and targeted message for your business, there is an important process you need to go through and get buy-in from your partnership. To be effective, you need to work with a consultant who understands your culture, your business, your goals, and your market. We have the insight and experience to help your brand succeed.
I would be proud to be your strategist and take the time to really get to know your business. My knowledge of the market and my knack for creating an award-winning design means that when your company's new smart brand goes live, people will take notice.

BRAND IMAGE
Are you well known? Would a potential customer recognize your name? Would a potential new hire recognize your business? Whether you are looking to grow your current business or have recently undergone a merger and now need to build awareness in the market, a brand awareness campaign will help position you for success.
I work with you to generate a creative “brief” to better understand your brand spirit, your audience and your goals. Once equipped, we can launch a targeted campaign using the most innovative marketing tactics. Some, like social media and internal communications, have a low cost of entry. Advertising is a financial investment, but if executed well, print and digital ads can dramatically increase brand awareness.
COMMUNICATIONS
Maybe you have an innovative business development plan that might be of interest to a particular industry? Or maybe you are chairing a remarkable event? Building good media relations can help your business and brand reach a large audience. Whatever tactics suit your goals, I'm here to help you incorporate them into your marketing campaign.

PUBLIC RELATIONS
Media relations campaigns can help you grow your brand profitably while leveraging content that can be shared directly with customers and prospects. Having worked with professional service firms on media related issues for over twenty years, I always begin a public relations and media relations project with a solid understanding of the firm's strategic objectives, and its relationship with media and its outreach strategy.
I am working with you and your team to develop a media relations plan. Once the plan is in place, I focus on the most relevant tactics to help you with the implementation.

KEY CLIENTS
It is said that in most businesses, 80% of revenue comes from 20% of customers. These customers are valuable and your competition knows it. In order not only to maintain, but to grow these critical relationships, formal steps should be taken to institutionalize these relationships. We have extensive and proven experience in developing key client programs at leading companies.

CUSTOMER FEEDBACK
Poll after poll, the majority of professional service firms do not actively solicit their clients. This leaves companies in the dark about how customers perceive their work and their relationship. It is a lost opportunity; customer feedback could drive vast improvements in customer service and an increase in portfolio share. It's never easy to peek in the mirror and ask the tough questions.
It can be even more difficult if your customer isn't comfortable giving their feedback. We can work with you to develop and implement a program that works for both your business and your customers.

WEBSITES
Your business website is like the front desk of your business for online visitors. It should be attractive and welcoming, of course, but it should also be functional and provide engaging reading material. Having broken links is as bad as having dead ends that lead to nothing and bad content is worse than giving visitors to your office old newspapers to read.
A website should be striking and intuitive, and designing a great, professional website requires more than a little code and some decent design skills. Understand the target audience and appreciate their behavior and motivations online. It is an art as much as a science.
EMAIL MARKETING
Providing your customers and prospects with valuable content on a regular basis is a great way to demonstrate your expertise and set yourself apart from your competition. Email marketing (newsletters) remains one of the best ways to engage an audience and track results. If you want to get started, I'm here to help.

SOCIAL MEDIA
Turns out, social media is about more than posting workout selfies and food pics. Staying active on the social media platform is a phenomenal way to share solid news, build community, and connect your expertise with potential clients. But mastering social media takes time.
Based on your target market, I identify which channels you should focus on and which ones you can book safely. We will work together to develop an effective strategy, which delivers measurable results. I am able to put a team of freelancers in place to ensure good continuity and consistency in communications.

CONTENT MARKETING
Businesses are constantly sending out marketing material, but honestly, most of this information isn't that interesting or useful and ends up in the trash unread.
Without great content, marketing is no better than spam. Content marketing is a smarter, more sociable way to get your business message across. Rather than bombarding your prospects with information, offer them valuable insight. You will create an audience and retain the followers you already have. The only downside is that for content marketing to work, you really have to deliver value. I can help you develop a content marketing strategy that attracts a well-defined audience and motivates them to take action.

Your business has unique goals: your SEO campaign should reflect them. I present concrete, data-driven recommendations that will amplify your impact. Your business is too important to be ignored on search engines. Let's jump to the beginning of the list of Google references!
