2 Mastering Organic Growth

Develop Business-Building Ideas Clients Will Buy


Dec 6 1:00 pm - 2:45 pm ET

Clients have become incredibly particular about any unplanned work they approve. Often, when agencies proactively bring new project ideas or new agency capabilities forward to their clients, the most common reaction is, “sorry, we have no more budget.”

But the issue is not with the client’s budget – it’s that none of the ideas were deemed worthy of funding. “No more budget” really means, “I can’t justify the budget for this random idea. It’s easier just to tell you I have no money.” The truth is that clients regularly create budgets for new projects, but only when the return is adequately justified.

In this session, step-by-step, you’ll work through two powerful strategic tools to identify new project ideas clients will want to buy – with a particular emphasis on projects that directly impact their business growth. We’ll also reveal the new criteria by which clients are approving incremental projects, and exactly when – and how – to bring these proactive recommendations forward to your clients.

Present Those Ideas So Clients Will Sign Off


Dec 9 1:00 pm - 2:45 pm ET

With high-value organic growth ideas in hand, it’s now time to present them.

In this session, we will step through how to package, position, and sell through your strategic thinking.

You will learn the skills to write and deliver presentations that are more dynamic, engaging, and persuasive. The result is a greater command of the room – with a more compelling presentation and team.

Ultimately, as your organic growth ideas better address client business impact and are presented more persuasively, you sell through more work – making you more indispensable to your clients and driving organic account growth.

Write Assertive Organic Growth Plans


Dec 13 1:00 pm - 2:45 pm ET

Most agency organic growth plans are a single page, outlining random financial targets – if anything is on paper at all.

The truth: there is no plan to achieve those goals.
The result: no growth.
This is the fundamental breakdown at most agencies.

Step-by-step, we’ll walk through how to craft an Organic Growth Plan for each client – one that more clearly outlines exactly how you will achieve assertive organic growth targets.

Key principles include:
• Identify meaningful client business goals to address
• Articulate goals that generate a stronger return for the agency
• Outline more detailed implementation schedules
• Clearly assign accountability and target dates

To help immediately apply this new framework, you will be put to work as you begin writing individual client Organic Growth Plans.
