The biggest constraint to agency growth is the number of senior leaders that can qualify, develop and win a new business lead. Too often we see that the owner or CEO is critical to every pitch – limiting revenue potential and stifling team members from stepping up.

Some agencies have no defined sales methodology or consistency for approaching new business. While others keep trying the same old way of putting together presentations and are surprised that they’re not translating to wins.

So, what does it take to create a winning agency sales culture?

We’ve created a business development and pitch coaching offering to help with one or all of the following:
Create a sales culture by transforming participating and leading new business efforts from a chore, to an exciting career development opportunity
Help agencies understand and design new business best practices for consistency of results from leader-to- leader and pitch-to-pitch
Enhance the skill level of individual second tier leaders
Differentiate the agency through creative packaging of proposals and prospect engagement
Position the agency for greater growth by removing all of that burden from the owner’s shoulders
