I’m Jody Sutter.

I’m the creator of the Build Win Scale System™ for small marketing agencies to create and operationalize new business strategies that are sustainable and successful over the long term.

Equal parts storyteller and problem-solver, I know how to prescribe the right tools and techniques that will work for your agency and get your prospects to say “yes”.

How can I help your agency?

 
 

What’s your most pressing new business challenge?

  • We sound like everyone else. How can we communicate our value to the right clients?
  • We want control over the business development process. How do we turn chaos into a well-oiled machine?
  • We have a chance to win business from our dream client. How do we get our team primed and ready to pitch?
  • We’ve kept a low profile for too long. How do we find the clients that want to work with our agency?
  • We put our hearts into pitching new business but fall short of sealing the deals. How do we win more consistently?
  • We’re overwhelmed by what we should be doing. How can we land on a strategy that we can sustain?

The Build Win Scale System™

When agencies struggle to win new business, it’s often due to one of three issues:

  1. They can’t find enough of the right clients, which means they haven’t built a strong strategic foundation (or it’s in need of repair)

  2. They’re getting in front of prospects, but not winning the pitch.

  3. The process is chaotic and the results unpredictable. They haven’t scaled to keep pace with their success.

The Build Win Scale system supports you at the points where your need is most acute.

Build

Positioning your agency to your ideal clients.

Win

Mastering the buyer’s journey and closing the sale.

Scale

Systems and tools for long-term sustainable growth.

The first step is to assess where your agency is on this continuum. Then we can customize a program to get you the results you need.

Where are you on the Build Win Scale continuum? Take this quick assessment and discover where you're set up for success and where you can improve.

“After ten years growth had plateaued.”

“We needed a new business a coach with an intimate knowledge of the agency model who could take an unbiased look at our business. Jody not only understood our business but jumped in quickly and helped us work through some of our roadblocks. The New Business Accelerator helped us reset our agency's brand positioning and realign our approach to business development.”

You can’t do everything.

This is especially true if you run a smaller agency.

You’ll always have other responsibilities. There will always be something competing for your attention.

And often with new business, you’re asked to step out of your comfort zone, which makes it easier to convince yourself that competing tasks, which are in your comfort zone, should take precedence.

If you want a thriving new business practice that leads to healthy growth, you need an ecosystem of tactics that are right for your agency.

Start building a New Business Ecosystem™ with my free planning tool.

A New Business Ecosystem™ includes anything you use to support the pursuit of agency growth, from a pricing proposal to a website to social media.

Like any other ecosystem, a healthy one promotes growth because it’s filled with things that are right for the environment and work well and support each other.

 

“We started working with Jody because we needed a boost on an important pitch during a busy time (by the way, we won the business).”

“Since then, she's been a valuable resource to me on strategic planning, prospecting and agency positioning. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to any agency looking to reinforce their business development activities.”
