Sales training programme
for creative agencies
By their own admission, many creative or technical agency owners are not salespeople. In fact, sales are so far removed from anything that they remotely enjoy or like. As a result, sales are often an afterthought.
And yet, these same agency owners wonder why their competition is getting further and further ahead, winning projects over them in competitive pitches, or getting clients they can only dream of.
- Do you want more profit in your business?
- Do you want the knowledge and skills to win more of the right type of business?
- Do you want to scale while retaining profit?
- Do you want to systemise sales so that it doesn’t feel like you’re selling your soul?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, we can help.
Our Selling Creative Services course is a sales training program for creative agencies and service business owners who want to better understand the sales process and take charge of their agency’s future.

What You Can Expect From Our Support
Understanding of your business
Each of our advisors are exited business owners. Not only have we walked in your shoes, but we have worked with many clients who are facing similar experiences in their respective businesses.
While we will never share anyone else’s details or circumstances, we certainly can and will share the collective experience and learning for the benefit of our clients.
Clear and objective advice
We answer the questions you have objectively and decisively. There’s absolutely zero waffle and we will only share the experience and knowledge that is directly beneficial to your business needs.
You are not paying us to tell you what you want to hear, but rather what you need to.
A personalised plan to follow
Your journey is unique and so should be the plan you follow.
We’ll focus primarily on processes, systems, and people frameworks that allow you to identify where your growth is being held back and where an opportunity for extra profitability is hiding in your business.
Accountability
Entrepreneurship is often a lonely endeavour and rarely do we have a peer to confide in or to ask for advice. We want you to SUCCEED and together we’ll set clear and defined goals, backed with EVERYTHING you need to achieve them.
Of course, we’ll be the first to tell you that you’re doing great, but we’ll also be the first to respectfully challenge any business decision.
Each of our services focus on strategic pillars of growth
No matter what stage your business is at, we have tailored support, training and content directly applicable to the challenges and opportunities you face.
At different levels, there are different devils and the challenges business leaders face, differ significantly.
Our team provide direct and actionable advice specific to your current situation. We directly focus on 6 core pillars that support ambitious, but sustainable growth.
Effective Selling | Operational Excellence
Marketing | Building a Robust Team
Strategy For Profitable Growth | Your Visions & Goals
In return, you’ll build a robust business, ready to achieve its fullest potential.
Many business leaders find this process to be unnatural and uncomfortable. Yet becoming a salesperson and thinking like a sales manager are the cornerstones of any business.
However, in our experience business owners who speak passionately about their services are some of the best non-salespeople, salespeople. We’ll help you build systems and processes and show you how to confidently sell your services without selling your soul.
We have spent hundreds of thousands on marketing and advertising campaigns across digital and traditional media so that you don’t have to.
Let’s work together to build strategic marketing campaigns that will allow you to build authority in all areas of focus.
Service based businesses grow and fail based on their ability to maintain quality at scale.
From your first job this month, to your 1000th, we help you build out the systems and processes to maintain an agreed level of service and quality across every project.
Becoming an employer of choice is no longer about being the biggest company in town. Creating a brand strategy to attract and retrain the right type of employee reduces the friction and cost of hiring.
Implementing a robust recruitment and retention strategy while planning for growth navigates many of the potential headwinds you might face.
When you work hard and put years of effort and sacrifice into your business, you should be rewarded for doing so.
Increasing the headcount and turnover in your business are vanity metrics if the profit isn’t scaling with them.
We focus on retaining profit across every function of the business and building methods to track this automatically.
Whether you are looking to exit your business immediately, you want to remove yourself from the day-to-day operations or you want to pass it down to the next generation, we help structure your business to achieve this.
