Agency growth series - Negotiating a better deal

As growth advisors to the communications sector, Now Next Why partner with owners, founders and, leaders to maximise enterprise value. In this online agency growth series for network members and agency owners, former founders and experts from the Now Next Why team join us to share expert advice on the best (and worst) ways to build and exit your agency.

In the penultimate session of this series, Now Next Why’s experts will build on the first two webinars of 'Building a Better Agency' and 'Punching up your Proposition', with negotiating a better deal, a wide ranging subject that covers:

‍

• Why clients and procurement see a price point for agency services that is inconsistent with that of an agency

• How to move the dial on making a client see the value in what you do and pay for it

• The negotiating variables when thinking of selling your agency

• And how to place value on each of these variables

‍
