( 02 )Sound familiar?

Most agencies I meet have the talent and the case studies. What they don't have is a system.

  • Good months follow the founder's free time.
  • Referrals dry up when you need them most.
  • Pitches are won on gut, then never repeated.
  • You're not market-ready.
  • Marketing, sales and delivery aren't joined up.
  • The pipeline isn't visible or trusted.
  • There's no clearly productised offer.
  • The positioning isn't landing hard enough.
  • Progress is slower than the ambition.
  • Martech money is going down the drain.
  • A £150k growth hire isn't an option.
  • It's feast or famine, every quarter.
  • One or two clients pay most of the bills.
  • Nobody clearly owns new business.
  • Past efforts started strong, then quietly died.
  • Nobody knows what it takes to hit the number.
  • Follow-up relies on memory.

New business shouldn't stop when you get busy.

It should run like the rest of your agency. Someone owns it, there's a plan for each week, and you can see how it's going. I set that up with you, start to finish.

( 03 )The approach

Three steps. Start anywhere.

Each one stands on its own, and each one sets up the next. Most agencies start with the audit, so we both know what to fix first.

01 / 03Where are you actually at?

The New BusinessAudit

I look at your leads, the work you've won, what you sell with and the tools you use. You get a list of what to fix, in order.

Some of the areas reviewed

  • Pipeline audit
  • Win analysis
  • Marketing assets review
  • Past efforts
  • MarTech review
  • Team and capacity

Agencies with great work and no engine.

Two recent engagements. Different sizes, same problem: the work was there, the system wasn't.

Giving Before:Work the foundations to go to market with confidence

Before:Work knew where they wanted to go. We worked out what makes them different, what they sell and who they sell it to. Then we put it to work: emails written for each type of client, a creds deck that makes the case, and a simple sales process in HubSpot. Now they know who to chase and how.

02Buff Motion
New business auditAction plan

Building the foundations for more consistent growth

A new business audit for Buff Motion. We looked at how the studio finds new work, how it turns leads into clients, and which of those clients make money. Then we listed what was holding them back and what to fix first. The founders now have a clear next step, and a way to make new business a normal part of running the studio.

( 06 )The mind behind the method
Coris Leachman

I'm Coris.

I work with agency founders as a part-time new business lead, at a senior level. You get someone who's done it before, the right tools set up, and someone making sure it actually happens, without paying for a full-time hire. When I step back, your team carries it on.
