10 things analysts want most

Here are the top ten best practices we un-earthed during the IIAR> AR Professional Of The Year 2019 survey.

1. Regular briefings
2. Targeted coverage
3. Open discussion about company strengths and weaknesses
4. Sending the deck ahead of the briefing so there’s time to come up with in depth questions
5. Well organised AR events that encourage conversation not mere presentations
6. Support for research interviews, being pragmatic during Evaluative Research. 
7. When AR helps to get the right people on the table for f2f meetings and when AR gives feedback  about what kind of information is the most valuable for its organization
8. Pro-actively flagging developments in coverage areas
9. Knowing the kind of material/projects my company works on. 
10. Sharing data under NDA
