Managing & Marketing a Profitable Surveyors’ Firm: Practice Development

Introduction

Sustainable growth in a surveying practice depends on clear market focus, well-designed services and pricing, consistent messaging, and a simple, repeatable sales process.

In practice, firms lose margin through unfocused targeting, generic offers, sporadic marketing and weak hand-offs from enquiry to onboarding.

This webinar is designed to explore practical methods to choose markets, shape services and pricing, develop existing clients and referrers, run a workable channel mix and manage the pipeline from first contact to signed instruction.

What You Will Learn

This webinar will cover the following:

• Market Focus & Service Design: segment clients; define offers that fit need and capability; set indicative pricing approaches (fixed, hourly, retainers)
• Brand & Messaging: points of difference, proof (case studies, testimonials), and where to show up (web, email, SEO, social, events)
• Develop Existing Clients & Referrers: listening loops, simple account plans, and practical referrer strategies (e.g., law firms, planners, engineers)
• Attract New Business: workable channel mix and light-touch thought leadership that fits a delivery-heavy practice
• Sales Process: triage enquiries, run effective discovery calls, scope and price proposals, follow up, and onboard in a way that protects margin
• Practical Tools: 90-day BD plan template, pipeline tracker, enquiry triage checklist and a concise proposal outline

This session builds on operational management by focusing on market strategy, client development, and sales processes; to complement these insights, the webinar Managing & Marketing a Profitable Surveyors’ Firm: Practice Management covers the essential internal systems and team practices.
