Re: [prpoint] Of Presentations and Problems

One major reason for this sometimes unreasonable demand by clients is they isn't a proper knowledge about what PR can do and what cannot. There is huge knowledge gap which will take long time for an Indian corporates to understand.

Subject: [prpoint] Of Presentations and Problems

Many of us do encounter challenges while making presentations to clients. They could range from lack of proper briefing from clients to blind commitments from PR practitioners side! For instance, one of my friends told a banker that he could do stop media from writing nasty stories by hook or crook!

In another case, a prospective client wanted to know as to how many clippings from top newspapers that I could guarantee.

I for one firmly believe that many corporates do not understand the functioning of the media and hence they tend to have pre-conceived notions. This is exactly why some of us do insist on media familiarisation sessions with clients before embarking on PR plan of action.

Can forum members chip in their experiences and suggestions for the benefit of PR Practitioners on the one side and clients (or bosses, for that matter!) on the other?
