INDUSTRY PERSPECTIVE

Define the mandate

Record which works, territories and channels the client has authorized the agency to cover. Include the approver, effective date and any restrictions on representation.

FIELD NOTES

Inside the review.

Keep client records distinct

Use separate inventories and case references for each principal. A shared production partner or distributor can appear in several accounts with different permissions.

/ 03

Prepare a clean handover

For renewals or changes of agency, export a dated record of open matters, prior correspondence and decisions awaiting the owner. Confirm which representative will receive further replies.

BEFORE YOUR CONSULTATION
