It’s Q4, that time when we start to think about our big plans for next year’s new business growth.
Creating your annual plan for agency business development is exciting! It’s an exercise fueled by possibility and healthy ambition.
It’s also time-consuming and requires a lot of work so it’s in your best interest to create a plan you can stick with.
But, if we’re being honest, that doesn’t always happen.
Are you ready to feel confident about meeting your goals for next year?
Join me for this annual planning masterclass that includes:
Live 1-hour sessions on three consecutive Wednesdays: December 4, December 11, and December 18 at 1 PM US Eastern time
Three supplementary online modules so that you can learn at your own pace
A bonus Q&A on January 8
Worksheets, guides, and templates
I’ll help you create a simple but strategic plan that’s designed for success.
“The New Business Blueprint offered me and my team a step-by-step process to follow, worksheets to help you think through critical questions, and a lot of good discussion among the other agency leaders who were participating. I would highly recommend this masterclass if you are truly committed to executing a well thought-out growth plan for your agency.”

I know from experience that the new business function at many agencies is more about blocking and tackling than thoughtful planning.
But by taking the time to create a plan that sets expectations for your new business team (as well as the agency as a whole), you’ll shift from reactive, scattershot pitching to more thoughtful, proactive growth.
Look, I have no doubt you are 100% qualified to put together a kick-ass plan on your own. But how much time will you spend second-guessing about what to include or how to make sure that it actually gets done.
“A challenging 2023 motivated us to take our approach to marketing much more seriously. The truth is, I came to the New Business Blueprint Annual Planning Masterclass having already done a lot of work on our 2024 marketing plan but quickly realized there was a lot we could still do to improve it.
One of the best parts was learning a framework for the quantification of new business goals so that we can track our progress. And Jody’s method for diagnosing the individual new business strengths of our leadership team was revelatory!
We’re only a couple of months into 2024 but we’ve already seen a positive difference in our marketing activities. ”

Hi, I'm Jody Sutter.
I’ve dedicated my career to helping agency leaders and other creative entrepreneurs master the skills they need to attract the ideal clients and win the business they deserve to win.
I know what it’s like to set big, enthusiastic goals to only watch them fall short because I didn’t put the right framework in place to be successful. The fact is, it’s got nothing to do with drive or intelligence or experience. It has more to do with human psychology. I’ll help you get around those barriers to create a plan you’ll implement.
One more thing...
Not sure if you can commit to all three days? I can almost guarantee you that this workshop will save you time in the long run. Plus anyone who registers will have access to the recordings to catch up on what they missed or even rewatch the content most important to them.
“Wow, I feel like the new year is set up for success. Thank you, Jody! No fluff, just a great process that breaks business development down into easy-to-follow steps. Wish I had met Jody years ago. She’s a pro's pro. Not only does she know agency business development, but she knows how to teach it and she loves sharing it. What a gold mine.”
