Filling the new business pipeline
Develop the right strategies to ensure a robust agency new business pipeline. Avoid time wasters and have game-changing first meetings with clients.
Take your agency to the next level of new business by developing your strategies to build a pipeline of qualified, quality new business opportunities. A strong pipeline of qualified leads and prospects is the sign of a healthy agency. You need a constant focus to keep the opportunities flowing as statistics show you will lose around 15%* of your clients each year. Only focusing on new business when business goes quiet is not the right approach. A consistent and proactive replacement strategy is required in order to continue to grow.

Chris is the perfect 'latent potential unlocker'.

Each course we run with Chris pays back within a month. The payback tends to be a mixture of better briefing from clients to get better results, reduced over-servicing and/or doors opening to other parts of the client's business as they value the impact and confidence we build in them.
