But how boutique CROs attract clients in 2020 differ from their larger industry competitors with more robust pipelines. Boutique CROs should ask themselves the following questions: - **Who is my ideal client, and what is their pain point?** - **How can my boutique CRO specifically address the needs of this client better than a giant CRO?** The responses to the above questions will be the basis for an inbound marketing strategy that includes a website, a blog, and a social media presence in addition to the plain word of mouth. By providing consistent and accessible value to potential clients through the above channels, smaller CROs will continue to make a dent. ## **Digital Media: Multiple Channels to Demonstrate Value** Sponsors want to hire CROs that have expertise in the clinical research they’re seeking. Educational level and experience matter. This information and expertise can be communicated not only on a website profile page but through regular blogging on the company website and via social media like LinkedIn. A blank LinkedIn page and a static website lack engagement possibilities and reduce a CRO’s credibility. Perhaps equally important, clients that seek smaller CROs to outsource their research often expect a high level of customer service, which is personalized and interactive. By using digital media platforms to provide prospects with customer testimonials, previous case studies, and recorded interviews with sponsors, a CRO can establish both credibility and integrity before a live conversation even occurs. ## **Authenticity in Business Development** Attracting the right clients is essential to creating a positive and productive work relationship as well as retaining sponsors for future work. By presenting an authentic company profile and demonstrating an honest understanding of a prospect’s needs, a boutique CRO will stand a better chance at engaging new sponsors in the highly competitive CRO marketplace. # Your Articles Need SkimCatchables Skim-Catchables are bloggers' - now- not-so- secret weapon to make readers' jobs easier because they can easily skim down a page and find the answer to what they are looking for.
