Learn how to use the Six Channel System designed specifically for architects, to develop your project pipeline and create a waitlist of aligned clients.

The course is presented in a series of 10-modules that you unlock in sequential order, so you can learn at your own pace.

If you're ready to take control of your new project pipeline- but if you're overwhelmed by the complexity of modern marketing, or you're not sure where to invest to attract and engage with new clients - this CPD Express training is for you.

This mini-course outlines the key strategies, platforms and channels to build your pipeline, and provides resources to help you get started. It'll also help you identify your next steps and provide details of future training options, if you'd like to access additional support to build your pipeline's key components.

Building a new client pipeline means you no longer have to wait for the phone to ring, and you won't have to accept projects that aren't in your wheelhouse, because you'll be able to generate new enquiries and leads on-demand.

Eventually you'll become more discerning about the clients and projects you take on, and you may even generate a waitlist. (I know this works, because I use this new client pipeline method, and so do my most successful clients!)
