Add to basketThe challenge for any advertising, creative or communications agency has always been gaining new business. My approach has been honed and adopted as agency business and client engagement has evolved over the years.
Permission to Win is the posture I promote to identify and attract your most viable prospects. Having a growth plan and strategic approach to gain the right new clients is something we all would agree is critical to ongoing success. However, our actions do not always seem to line up.
Moving from a responsive, or worse, a reactive growth posture to one of proactive and strategic intent is truly liberating. This growth posture shift is at the core of creating a culture of growth for your agency and one which will guide your decisions, actions, effort, investment, and innovation.
In this book I will cover the importance of understanding the business of your client's business. How to identify the real and relevant "conversations" inside any business vertical and how to leverage that conversation. I'll cover the importance of ongoing training and the value of inspiration to drive real thought leadership and creative thinking. I'll cover the right way to approach a competitive pitch and why the details matter so much.
"We've hired Doug Austin to help us prepare for new business presentations on 6 occasions. Our batting average with Doug on the team - 5 wins and 1 loss (and the loss actually turned into a new client a year later). The man is a new business wizard!!!"

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
