Keeping your new business pipeline well stocked with engaging and rewarding projects is key to the health and happiness of your agency. This online workshop will help you and your team create a proactive and targeted approach to generating and developing leads.

Starting with the building blocks of a strong and targeted plan; identifying and building the right audience. We’ll look at ways to pinpoint the right sectors and companies to be speaking to and how to map out a research plan so you can really get under the skin of your potential clients and make your approaches to them more relevant. Next, we’ll discuss your proposition and ways to simplify and sharpen how you talk about your agency to your relevant audience. We'll then go through the ins and outs of making cold calls and sending cold emails to the senior decision makers you want to be working with.
