Expect to be put to work in this workshop as you start crafting aggressive organic growth plans, while learning new methods to mine for more business from every roster client – without having to feel like a sales person.
Over the course of a day & a half, you will learn how to arm your account teams with the tools and systems necessary to identify, attack and convert growth opportunities – systematically.

Shift from Reactive to Proactive
You will learn how to become a “trusted advisor” vs. a “sales person” by being more proactive about adding value to your client’s business – and charging a fee for it.
Client Retention
Understand why clients leave agencies, why they stay, and why they choose to provide some with more business.
Based on Mirren’s on-going research with clients, you will learn the most significant trends impacting client growth.
Diagnostics as a Growth System
Develop a set of tools based on diagnosing your clients’ key business issues and opportunities, to then systematically mine for new projects.
Insights as a Growth System
Clients are paying a premium fee for much deeper, more pragmatic insights – those that drive purchase behavior.
Understand how to leverage powerful insights about your client’s target audience to generate more business.
Purchase Modeling as Growth System
Learn to utilize this basic and fundamental strategic model to better identify and sell opportunities that will directly impact your client’s business.
Client Presentation Development
Apply the principles, plots and rhythms of storytelling to ensure your presentations more effectively sell your strategy.
You will leave with a presentation structure that can be applied to all client presentations.
Estimate Writing & Negotiation Skills
In your day-to-day client work, learn how to pre-empt client and procurement negotiation tactics.
Apply principles for presenting project and fee proposals to help the agency generate more revenue from each project.
New: Turn Scope Creep Into a Revenue Opportunity
Rather than fearing scope creep as a challenge, through special client engagement methods, proactively turn it into a new revenue opportunity.
Implement Consistently
Train your teams to implement these new systems in a way that can be counted on for more consistent growth.
Who Should Attend
This is designed for those who play a leading strategic and growth role with their clients, including management and senior client services. Most agencies bring several people to sharpen their personal skills and more effectively collaborate – to then improve how the agency will innovate and apply the key learnings.
