Transform How Your Agency Sells, Markets, and Grows

Targeted sales and strategic marketing training to help marketing agencies grow faster

6 week course, starting April 2026

Agency Leaders:

Win more, with the team you already have

The last 12 months have seen declining win rates and rising pressure for agencies to do more with less. To respond, your team needs the confidence to talk marketing strategy in the boardroom – aligning client problems with your agency’s solutions.
Our focused 6-week course is designed for any agency team member involved in critical client meetings and responsible for growth and revenue.
Born from work with an independent full-service agency, it helps strong doers become persuasive strategists who can lead conversations on competitive positioning, marketing investment and long-term growth.

Across five 2-hour sessions, plus individual 1‑2‑1 support, participants build practical confidence in:

Marketplace and competitor analysis
Articulating competitive advantage
Customer acquisition strategies
Budget allocation and investment and ROI
The cohort will also include a dedicated sales-focused session led by Paddy Woods on how to win without pitching – bringing marketing and sales activity together to drive a stronger-performing, growth-focused agency culture.
These tools and frameworks are applied directly to live client situations and agency challenges, helping you strengthen pitches, deepen client relationships and secure more retained business.

What our customers say

Marketing sessions agenda

Understand the difference between ‘strategy’ and ‘tactics’.  Learn how to use tools and data for strategic planning, so you can offer clients more accurate results.

Make the distinction between business, marketing and brand strategy.  Identify your clients’ strategic advantage and how to leverage this to win them more business.

Understand your potential clients and their budgets. Distinguish between ‘light’ and ‘heavy’ buyers to hone your clients’ customer acquisition and retention strategies.

Identify the KPIs you need to track strategic success. Know when a strategy is no longer working and how (and when) to change track, so you can help your clients adapt to changing market conditions.

Sales session agenda (21st May)

This section focusses on ensuring marketing and sales are delivering to your targets. We help you break down your sales funnel to ensure you understand exactly what you need to deliver, at each stage of your pipeline, to achieve your growth targets. We will focus on lead scoring, ICP nurture programmes and new business tactics that work in a challenging market. You’ll leave with understanding of the tactics, approach and what areas you need to focus on to help you achieve the growth targets set for your agency.

New Business is no longer the premise of one individual. It has repercussions across the business, and can impact the fine line between delivering for clients and winning new business. This session helps you define the roles in your agency more clearly, build out a partnership and client referral schemes that scale, and build and report on the KPIs that matter to show where the opportunities and challenges lie within your pipeline.  You’ll build a RACI model for new business and client expansion that works for your business.

So many pitches end in failure because you have not qualified the opportunity properly. This session helps you master qualification (so you stop wasting time on bad-fit opportunities), sharpen your storytelling, deepen client insight and review your pitch approach honestly. You’ll audit your last couple of pitches and identify exactly where issues lie and how to fix it.
