Agency account growth planning template

How will the Agency Account Growth planning template help me and my business?

With the high risk and cost of pitching for new business, retaining and growing profit from established client accounts is an essential focus for most agencies.

You may get stuck in business as usual, i.e., paid work takes priority, so account growth may not get sufficient attention. The aim of this template is to give you a framework which will give a more structured approach to growing an account.

This template is designed to help grow your client’s business, and it can also serve as a storage place for client information. Agency teams often change, so it's helpful to have a reliable source to learn about your client's business history.

The template also contains a capability review for agencies to benchmark their agency growth activities.
