You’re also a visionary: You can read a client’s mind, anticipate their needs, and serve as a thought leader in the industry. Specifically, this means you participate in all phase reviews, advocate for the client and represent them in internal reviews, and educate the client by promoting all that Teague has to offer them. You use your exceptional communication skills to deliver inspiration to the client, as well as insightful feedback to Senior Management at Teague. You put those same communication skills to work making Teague presentations to new, existing and potential clients, then nurture those budding relationships. Bottom line: If asked to see the forest for the trees, you could see each leaf, the forest, and the continent. You’re detail-oriented, sensationally well organized, forward-thinking and great with people, and you love nothing more than the prospect of aligning the needs and talents of two parties—client and Teague—in perfect harmony.
