Are You Using PR to Sell?

Monday, February 15th, 2010 - by Becky Sheetz-Runkle

Too many organizations forget that public relations can and should have a meaningful impact on the sales process. Are you using PR effectively to sell?

 

One important output of a PR campaign is to use press clippings in the sales process. PR should not be passive. You should use clippings from interviews and favorable mentions in the sales kits and other leave behind.

 

You should also be using recent clippings like trend pieces and case studies and sending them along to leads that have cooled.

 

When viewed this way, PR can be used strategically to sell. How are you using it?
