'Stay the Course' Communication Survival Tips

  1. Hire an independent, award-winning PR/Marketing Communications firm like PROFIT Communications who can provide:
  2. - Senior-level talent
    - Personal attention
    - Value
    - Flexibility
  3. Establish a realistic budget that you can work within.
  4. Set goals. Put your goals in writing. An unwritten wish is just a dream. In writing, it's a commitment -- a goal - that's more likely to succeed.
  5. Build your network. And start with the people you do know, as people with the largest circle of contacts, mentors and friends over time create lasting relationships that can eventually translate into new, exciting business opportunities.
  6. Create innovative, new streams of revenue for your company or organization. For example, identify and market a different product or service that your business offers, in addition to your core mix.
  7. Hone your speaking skills. Schedule speaking engagements to appropriate audiences to get the word out about what you do…in other words, create initial buzz and excitement about your products or services.
  8. Develop a mentoring program. The idea that sharing what you know and learning what others have to teach is just smart management. Further, no process in history has done more to facilitate the exchange of information, skills, wisdom and contacts than mentoring.
