- Testing: “How can we ‘test’ demand for a potential lead-gen offer?” [starting at 18:48]

Then, I answered questions from agency owners in California and Massachusetts—including how to improve pipelines and how to deliver proposals to prospective clients.
- Current Economy: “How are agencies doing in 2024, after a tough 2023?” [starting at 35:53]

- Prospects: “How can we avoid client ‘swoop & poop’ during the business development process?” [starting at 47:55]
