November IPA 12/60 Program: PR TechTalk: Key infrastructure tools and how we’re using them

Wednesday, November 18, 2015, 10:00 am Pacific; 1:00 pm Eastern

Piggybacking on PRSA’s editorial theme in ComPRehension blog this month, New Technologies (best tech for PR Pros,) we thought we’d have a panel discussion on a relatively new tool among PR infrastructure tools, Iris PR Software.  It can be described as a  CRM tool (customer relationship management) for the PR community, which is a super cool and important idea.  This session will help you understand why.

We also invited Michelle Olson to return to talk in greater depth about the key tools she mentioned last month in our “growing your business” panel, and also because in her presentation we learned that she is an Iris user!

Part 2: Letting Go in Order to Grow: Growing Your Business by Outsourcing

Last month we held Part 1 of the Letting Grow In Order To Grow series which focused on growing your agency into a practice with employees. This month we’re excited to again collaborate with members of PRSA’s Counselor’s Academy for Part 2 to explore:

  • The benefits of outsourcing: time savings for you, growth opportunity for your business;
  • How to find quality subcontractors: resources, what to look for, red flags;
  • Working through the fear of letting go: how to trust your subs;
  • What are the best arrangements? (contracts, letters of agreement);

Letting Go in Order to Grow: Growing Your Practice Into An Agency

A recording of this teleseminar is available here.

This Sept. 30, 2015, IPA 12/60 teleseminar, offered in partnership with the Counselor’s Academy, featured three panelists who have grown their public relations practice from a one-person shop to full agencies, and a fourth who offers executive coaching to public relations and communications leaders, and provides consulting and training to agencies.
