Now, in an exclusive on-demand agency webinar, you can hear directly from our Managing Director Mike Crook as he’s joined by three industry experts.

In the webinar

Actionable advice, directly from the experts.

From discussing pricing structures, to an insightful conversation on where value comes from in a digital agency – this webinar covers the most important lessons agencies need to learn in order to build their profitability. 

 

So whether you’re hoping to sell, or just looking for advice on navigating a period of rising costs and shrinking budgets – Paul, Janusz and Joe’s practical guidance can help you build your retainer offering. You can expect to learn:

 

  • A better approach to retainer pricing 
  • What improvements to make for a profitable business 
  • How retainers can help agencies face the hiring problem

On pricing - so much of it is about confidence and challenge. Rarely do you lose business because of price. If someone's decided to work with you, as long as you're not ridiculous in what you're charging, you should be confident in the value of the service you're providing. It's healthy to be rejected on price as well, occasionally. If you've got a 100% conversion rate, you are by definition too cheap.

Hear practical advice for improved revenue.

Joe - Headshot

If you're looking to build value in a business your business won't need to be anywhere near as big to get the same value if you're dealing with retainers. You know you'll be able to do it at a significantly smaller size, because the recurring revenue adds value automatically.
