| Management needs to know if marketers' stress levels are too high |

A little bit of pressure can be productive, give motivation and help people perform better at something. However, too much or prolonged pressure can lead to stress, which is unhealthy as it can lead to physical, mental and emotional problems.

PM Forum Annual Conference 2010
There is far more to landing clients than responsiveness and client-handling skills. Research indicates that clients are motivated to select professional advisers based on the enthusiasm, teamwork, empathy and integrity of individual partners. So this conference also explores how these key behaviours can be developed.
With contributions from firms such as Baker Tilly, BDO, Berwin Leighton Paisner, Davis Langdon, Grant Thornton, KPMG and Sony Ericsson, the day will be packed with insightful sessions not only for marketing and business development professionals but also for lawyers, accountants, surveyors - anyone wishing to learn more about improving sales and marketing performance.
Take a look at the full programme and don't forget that if you book before the end of June, you can benefit from an early bird discount!
