SMPS Philadelphia hosted our "Utilizing Account-Based Strategies to Build a Profitable Backlog" on Wednesday at Burns Engineering, Inc. with William Long. A big thank you to Bill for sharing his expertise on the TREAT Strategy, a five-step, account-based approach that helps AEC firms focus business development efforts on the right clients.

Attendees gained practical tools to build credibility, strengthen client relationships, and pursue opportunities that truly align with their firm’s goals. It was valuable to see marketing and business development professionals come together to learn from the session and from each other.
