Customer Engagement in a No-Travel Season – PIE | Profitable Ideas Exchange

CUSTOMER ENGAGEMENT OFFERINGS

As travel restrictions for meetings and conferences have forced companies to cancel or pause in-person interactions, PIE has been stepping in to assist a number of large professional services firms and F500 companies with virtual alternatives to ensure they stay connected to those they wish to serve.

For nearly 20 years, PIE has been helping professional services firms develop and deepen C-suite relationships via virtual communities and conversations. PlE’s core capabilities include: driving C-level attendance to virtual and in-person events; developing content in partnership with clients for deep, engaging virtual discussions among C-level executives through 1:1 interview and surveys; professionally facilitating virtual discussions (via teleconference or video-conference), making each executive attendee feel engaged and inspired; enabling our partners to best connect with clients via virtual facilitation training.
