SSEC Believes in Solution Based Selling
The Agency's core focus is sponsorship sales. When it comes to taking sponsorship opportunities to market, SSEC believes in solution-based selling. Rather than just promoting an existing product or “sponsorship package,” SSEC focuses on understanding what challenges are facing the brands we are selling to, what their current strategies are and how our clients can help provide a solution with an appropriate offering (marketing and sponsorship). The problem resolution is what constitutes a “solution.”
SSEC Builds Programs and Brands
Properly constructed marketing sponsorship programs will be the vehicle in which brands can reach customers, educate them and either build new relationships or enhance existing relationships. Such constructed marketing sponsorship programs are built to facilitate long term relationships between our clients and the sponsors.
