To summarize:
• LEARN ABOUT THEIR BUSINESS AND GOALS
Once you have a better understanding of their business and their goals, establish yourself as an expert in the field. For example, you can talk a little about your background, or maybe mention how your team handles the newest technology.
• PRESENT YOURSELF AS AN EXPERT IN THE FIELD AS A GEOFENCING AGENCY
It’s time to think for the first few seconds. Being a white-label geofencing agency, think back to the last time you perceived someone as an expert in their field. Ask yourself, what did they do? What made you feel that way? Indeed, emotion is powerful. Business owners want to put their marketing efforts in the hands of someone that can get the job done.
You may gain their business insights, but still you may have to put some more effort in this process. Business owners may not be familiar with targeted display or how it works.

PERFORM NEED ASSESSMENT
We are discuss this in detail over the call, but for now, you can ask questions. Some of these questions are:

- Good. Let me ask you, what are you currently doing for advertising?
- Who is your competition? (Get them to talk about their competitors)
- What is your average ticket/sale price?
- How many clients do you currently have?
- What does your client look like?

For example:
If they are doing print or television then they are branding their business.
• PRINT OR TELEVISION = BRANDING
On the other hand, if they focus on radio advertising, they can reach a specific audience. Ask them the demographic they are trying to reach.
• RADIO = REACH SPECIFIC AUDIENCE
Likewise, if they perform paid search, they can reach people specifically searching for their product or service.
• PAID SEARCH = THEY UNDERSTAND VALUE OF SEARCH
Meanwhile, you need to ballpark a monthly spend when you have predetermined the marketing channels they are currently utilizing.
• Finding out what they are doing in other media is key to uncovering their intent.
At first, when you ask about other media, you will find their budget a little larger than your anticipation.
This overview will guide you in positioning targeted display strategies and highlighting the technological elements.
Next, steer the conversation toward their competitors. Ask questions about who their competitors are and how they feel about them. Listen as they answer.
• WHO ARE THEIR COMPETITORS?
Targeted display is a powerful strategy for conquesting campaigns which feature search retargeting and geofencing capabilities.
When we make our pitch, we are targeting users who are searching for their competitors online, and those who walk through their competitors’ front doors.

When you are presenting solutions, you want to paint a whole picture. Therefore, interrupting the client with solutions while you do need assessment will result in reacting without understanding. Your job during need assessment is to ask questions, listen, and take notes. Further, if you are going to offer white label geofencing, ensure you assess your client’s needs.
