As the trees don their green garb and the birds grace our skies once more, it’s that time again – submission season! For many marketing teams or lawyers, it’s like clockwork – dust off the submission process, collect credentials, agree on the order, and hunt down the right referees. But hey, who said it has to be the same dance every year? After all, the Chambers submissions have been around for 24 years – why not see if we can give it a boost? Below are four playful yet practical tips to consider shaking up your submission season this year.
Sure, aiming high sounds good in theory, but let’s not shoot for the stars if we’re barely acquainted with the CEO of our client company. Instead of chasing lofty titles, focus on securing referees who actually know your work inside out. Your friendly legal counsel might just provide the glowing feedback you need. Remember, it’s not about reaching for the top; it’s about getting feedback that truly sings your praises.
Managing multiple submission deadlines can feel overwhelming. But fear not! With a little strategic planning, you can turn chaos into a well-oiled machine. Whether you enlist the help of an external consultancy or rally your in-house dream team, crafting a solid submission strategy is key. From juggling different directory deadlines to setting reminders for your referees, a little organization goes a long way. So, why not kick things off with a plan and perhaps a simple funnel showing your progress.
In the rush to impress, it’s easy to fall into the trap of ‘legalese’ and technical jargon. But researchers aren’t necessarily legal eagles. So, instead of drowning them in convoluted language, why not keep it simple, clear? Perhaps consider starting with a bolt sentence or two who really catch the essence of your matter. Your submission will shine brighter when it’s easy for everyone to understand.
