Cultivating relationships beyond your AE

Cultivating relationships beyond your AE

As agencies, we don't do a good job of talking to our entire team about the importance of really recognizing that it's part of their job to create a relationship with the client, whether that's by email, whether that's by phone, or whether that's in meetings.

Can agency employees think like an owner?

Many agency owners want their employees to think like an owner. And what we mean by that of course, is we want them to care as much about the business as we do and we want them to make decisions that are in the best interest of the agency rather than themselves or even their department.

Unfortunately, there's a lot of painful and costly realities under the surface of these decisions. Don't say yes until you've done your homework. Watch »

Separating raises & reviews

Separating raises & reviews

When you co-mingle a salary increase or raise conversation with a review conversation -- one of them is always going to get the short end of the stick. To make sure both conversations get the attention they deserve and because you do not want to set the precedence that every time someone gets a review -- they automatically get a raise -- you need to separate the two.
