    Why Referrals Are Holding Your Agency Back & What to Do Instead with Chris DuBois

    Most agencies know they should market themselves consistently, but when client work increases, their own marketing is often the first thing to stop. Before long, referrals become their main source of new business…until they dry up. In this episode, Tracey talks to Chris DuBois, founder of Dynamic Agency OS and host of the Agency Forward podcast, about why agencies fall into this cycle and how to break free from it. Chris introduces the concept of ‘Delivery Drag’, explains why creating more content isn't always the answer, and shares practical advice on positioning, placement and building a marketing system that continues working even when client delivery is at its busiest. If you're tired of relying on referrals and want a more predictable pipeline, this episode is packed with practical ideas you can put into action.

    The Best Agency Growth Strategy? It’s NOT More Leads

    Agencies spend huge amounts of time and money trying to win the next account. But what if your best growth opportunity is sitting inside the clients you already have? Drawing on my conversation with Si Elliott, this episode explores why client satisfaction is a commercial growth measure, why loyalty can’t be judged through an instant dashboard and how stronger relationships protect accounts when things become difficult. Plus three practical questions to help you assess an important client relationship now. Because sustainable growth isn’t only about how many clients you win. It’s also about whether the good ones stay.

    How Agencies Can Turn Trust into a Predictable New Business Pipeline

    Most agencies rely on content, networking and referrals to win new business. But visibility doesn't automatically create trust and without trust, sales conversations become much harder. In this episode, Tracey Burnett is joined by trust-building specialist Kim Willis to explore how agencies can build credibility long before a prospect is ready to buy. They discuss buyer-centred messaging, better case studies, referral partnerships and why genuine conversations consistently outperform sales pitches. If you want a more predictable pipeline built on relationships rather than pressure, this episode is packed with practical ideas you can put into action straight away.

He was terrible at it- spectacularly bad. The kind of bad where people closed the door before he finished the opening sentence. His sales manager Stan Rex, was the No.1 salesman in the entire organisation. Worldwide. Stan offered to help Kim by accompanying him for a morning of door knocking.   Stan didn't pitch. He told stories. Customer stories. He'd stand on the doorstep and say, "Let me tell you about a family down the road..." and within three minutes, people were inviting him inside. That was the moment everything changed for Kim. Not a course. Not a framework. A bloke on a doorstep, showing him that the fastest way to earn trust is to let your customers do the talking. Kim Willis has been telling customer stories ever since. That, plus referral ecosystems, has driven tens of millions of dollars in revenue across his career.

    The Traditional Agency Model Is Breaking. What Should Replace It?

    The traditional agency model was built around selling time, talent and production. But when AI accelerates delivery and clients can produce more themselves, where does real agency value sit? Drawing on my conversation with Stephen Knight, this episode explores why the old model is under pressure, why “good enough” work has become a serious competitor and what agencies must do to remain valuable. You’ll hear why a sharper proposition, genuine specialist authority and proof of commercial impact need to shape the agency you build next. Because adding new technology to an outdated model won’t make your agency harder to replace.
