One should have at hand the following: o Hard copy of the Marketing Proposal o Hard copy of the TN Job Questionnaire (with the TN Contract) o TN Presentation o Other necessary promotional materials (i.e brocuhure) If the company or organization remains to be unsure of the program, be aggressive in always following up with the developments of the process in establishing the partnership.
