Having been in the industry for quite a long time, nearly
half of PR consultants in Delhi admit the fact that skillful in preparing
content does not mean you are competitive at targeting it. True that we can be
just brilliant in writing content, but targeting it to the right audience using
the right channels is just too much to boast for. All those working in PR
companies in India are maestros in networking and persuasion. They are quite
good observers also who easily understand the body language of their counterparts
and accordingly deal with them. For example, they know when a client is sitting
in a relaxed posture, he might not be very worried or very much into the
business proposal. PR agencies in
Delhi enjoy a widespread network of media journalists and clients. So when
they know what favor they need, they persuasively seek it from the concerned
person.
But for all those who have just kick-started their careers as
PR professionals, the handy-dandy list of some tips and advice below should be
of good use.
1. Understand your role in the company
Working in one of the PR agencies in Delhi, you never get the
authority to sign a letter or media invite. It’s only the CEO or the president
of your organization who can sign such official documents. Therefore, always be
humble during the meetings with clients, and seek your senior’s approval before
taking any step of importance.
2. Turn the light of intellect on
Thumb rule of an easy survival in communication
industry—bring your brain to work and use your networks. Be it PR companies in
Delhi or the individuals offering PR
management services in Delhi, there lies a great potential within them to
alter an organization’s public image for good and bad. All this depends on the
extent of power and knowledge of the people doing PR. It’s just that you should
know when to use what and how.
3. Converse with people
The job of a PR professional is to open the doors for the
organizations to reach their target people, to allow them to speak with them,
and guiding them the way to understand them. And for this, you should give
equal attention to making phone calls to the right people as you do to
copywriting and content. The more you’ll be able to understand them on calls
and meetings, the better you will be able to create content for them.
4. Mind your approach
Diplomacy
and politics exist everywhere, and so must be in your organization. It does not
mean you also have to be a part of the herd. You should always stick to the
institutionalized office protocols and professional ethics at work. One wrong
word for addressing potential clients or approach for taking the deal can prove
to be vulnerable to your career. Therefore, try to always control your mouth
and mind your approach.
