FREE AGENCY SEARCH HANDBOOK NOW AVAILABLE
Managing your own agency review (ad, pr or otherwise) used to be a challenge for many.
But today, with a service like ours to identify and invite virtually perfect candidates,
almost anyone can do it. To add the final touch, we've just announced a Free handbook
entitled "The Complete Guide to Managing Your Own Agency Review." Yours for the asking
at bpi@agencyfinder.com
Our handbook comes complete with "Client Search Criteria", your custom outline revealing
precisely what your firm requires. "After They've Been Invited" is a simple step-by-step
guide that explains in layman terms what to do and how to do it, including initial due-
diligence telephone interviews, what and when to request in agency brochures and
relevant samples, when to execute non-disclosure agreements, when to visit semi-
finalists and when they visit you. For the all-important final presentations, you choose
from "Presentation Instructions" and "Competitive Pricing Evaluations", two invaluable
tools to compare and contrast candidates. Keep your review team on the same page
with score cards for agency materials, agency site visits and final presentations.
It's easy, and almost anyone can do it - that wants to.
