Mark your calendars for a week (dates are listed below) of intense training on AR measurement topics. Every day for a straight week, SageCircle will be putting on a different webinar on one of the most critical foundational functions for AR: measurement. Each webinar is only $95 and you can find links to the individual webinars on SageCircle.com webinar page. There is a special offer if you register for all five sessions: a $50 discount (see the special link at the bottom of this webpage to sign up with the discount). Each 90-minute session is packed with practical tips, information, and insights.
Certificate of Completion for Analyst Relations Measurement – SageCircle is starting a new program where we will be sending a signed, hardcopy “Certificate of Completion” to AR professionals who have completed a series of training sessions on a particular topic. The first Certificate to be awarded will go to attendees of all five AR measurement webinars.
A “Certificate of Completion” will be a useful item to add to your resume as it shows you have invested in upgrading your AR skills and your commitment to the AR profession.
The Certificate of Completion for AR Measurement will be issued for those who have attended all five of the measurement webinars. This includes the ones you may have taken in the past as well as those in one of the upcoming Measurement Week! series. Future public webinars will also count toward completion of the training for a Certificate. Another way to earn a certificate is to attend a half-day AR Measurement Workshop, either a public version or a privately scheduled session for just your company.
Two sets of dates: October 19-23 and October 26-30 –“What!” you say “The first week is the same week as US Symposium!” Right, but if you are not going to be in Orlando schmoozing with the Gartnerians that week it would be a great use of your time to get in some training. Alternatively “Measurement Week Two” will be held the week after Symposium. You can even mix the sessions across both weeks if that is more convenient.

Creating an AR Metrics Program – Analyst relations teams need to gather metrics data to manage their program, show their strategic value, and maintain executive support. A measurement program must be simple, yet meaningful if it is to succeed. Determining what and how to collect the data in ways that do not impact the team’s limited time can be a challenge. This SageCircle Webinar will provide you with succinct and actionable information that will help create the plans for a realistic metrics program.
Analyst Relations Performance Metrics – Analyst relations teams need to gather operational metrics to manage their program – measurements of the activities they do. But your executive sponsors want to see performance metrics – measurements of what you have accomplished. This SageCircle Webinar will provide you with succinct and actionable information that will help create, gather, and report performance metrics.
Auditing the Spoken Word – IT industry analysts provide research and recommendations most often through the classic medium of the spoken word, especially during phone-based inquiry. Unfortunately, there is no clipping service that makes it easy for analyst relations programs to determine what analysts are saying during these inquiries. This Webinar lays out a process for auditing and analyzing what an analyst is saying during inquiries.
Social Media Metrics – Some of today’s new challenges for AR teams are how to determine if there is value to monitoring analyst opinions on blogs and Twitter, how to do the monitoring and how to use the information gathered to create meaningful metrics. This webinar is design to teach you how to measure analyst social media traffic, the various methods for automating your social media monitoring for effective data gathering, and ways to measure both the mentions and the tonality.
Analyst Relations Operational Metrics – Analyst relations teams need to gather operational metrics to manage their program – measurements of the activities they do. This information can be used to better balance the program resources, ensure that the right analysts are receiving the correct attention, and track the activities against the AR plan. This SageCircle Webinar will provide you with succinct and actionable information that will help create, gather, and report operational metrics.
Actionable & Succinct – SageCircle’s Webinars are developed to provide actionable, practical best practices in a short and succinct manner. There is ample time for questions and answers to complement the presentation.
