Remember, it’s what people BELIEVE to be true – rather than the truth itself – that too often defines the public relations challenge.

Why the top of the head actually hurts just thinking about a public relations speed bump like that!

But how do we get there?

By employing public relations activity that creates first perception, then behavior change within that key outside audience. And I mean behavior change that leads directly to achieving managerial objectives.

It’s not easy, but as a manager, you can do it if you accept the fact that the right PR really CAN alter individual perception and lead to those changed behaviors you need.

Here’s a reality that will come crashing in on you as you start work on this project. Obviously, you will need a lot more than news releases, brochures, broadcast plugs and fun-filled special events to get a satisfactory return on your PR investment. Among the results business, non- profit, public entity and association managers can expect are renewed interest from your key external audiences, new proposals for strategic alliances and joint ventures; rebounds in showroom visits; membership applications on the rise; new community service and sponsorship opportunities; and even new thoughtleader and special event contacts.

With the passage of time, you will notice such customers making repeat purchases; prospects reappearing; stronger relationships with the educational, labor, financial and healthcare communities; improved relations with government agencies and legislative bodies, and perhaps even capital givers or specifying sources looking your way.
