Capital EDC Economic Development Company Profile 2011

I have no idea what impact they are making or if the investment is making sense. Set up your operation so that your sales and marketing efforts are measurable and you are seen by your stakeholders as more than accountable and also responsible. Know when you have met your mark and it’s time to re-arm, reposition and deploy.

Ask for Capital EDC’s Sales Metrics White Paper. We keep getting ranked at the bottom by those magazines and I want to know what to do about it? Patrick Marshall has developed a “Value Management System” that provides your Place with an accurate measure of your success in achieving Values that your community has determined. It’s the greatest response to these ranking that compare apples to oranges and rate you on you rainfall.

Ask for Capital EDC’s BLUEPLANET Certification White Paper.

I have been asked to help their business community expand its reach and I want to know where to start? Defining new clusters of business, cross industry collaboration and export readiness are three areas that fit well together. Patrick Marshall has the experience to get you there and back, changing suspects, to prospects.

I have too many community profiles on the net to maintain and need to drive traffic to my site? There’s a new web platform that Capital EDC has helped design just for you. It brings multiple real estate listings together with a profile that you control.

Ask for Capital EDC’s Geohome White Paper.

I Can’t afford another full time person. Retain Patrick Marshall on a monthly basis to complete specific assignments that are part of your strategy or to consult before you spend money or hit send. Business and Rural areas need support too.

Ask for Capital EDC’s Economic Developer White Paper. I Don’t think their economic development organization is doing the job we assigned them. Patrick Marshall is the only economic developer willing to share his experience having been through a “Value for Money Audit”. Bring him into your organization to conduct an audit designed to assist you in filling the gaps without the fear of costing you your job.

Ask for Capital EDC’s Economic Development Audit White Paper.

I see the number of businesses in their community is dropping and I don’t know where to start. Patrick Marshall recommends that you start by interviewing your business owners to find out what they need to grow.

Ask for Capital EDC’s Synchronist White Paper.

I know they need a brochure and want to hire locally. You can hire a designer, but how will they know what the message must be and if it will get the results you want? Patrick Marshall has more than 25 national awards from his peers for his efforts to help people understand the value and benefits of community. Maybe it’s not a brochure, but start with Patrick’s assessment before you order digital, social, or print media.
