About the Webinar:
As a PR pro, you know how to make your clients successful. Yet, if you're like most consultants, you probably struggle with running your own business. If you navigate entrepreneurship by trial and error, this webinar is for you. Pamela Gilchrist, who launched her own independent practice 10 years ago, will offer tips and strategies that will help you get and stay ahead despite this tough economy.
You will learn how to:
- Get and keep clients--even in a tough economy.
- Work "on your business," not just "in your business."
- Move from "freelancer" status to building a small firm.
- Develop and stick with a business model.
- Know why it's OK to just say no.
- Manage scope creep and contracts.
- Cry for help with office tasks.
- Use entities and exit strategies to your advantage.
