Wake Up Call: How to maximise client development opportunities
BCI Webinar
Developing your existing clients is a key factor in maintaining a healthy pipeline and growing your business. But it often gets over-looked in favour of chasing new clients. This session with Jill Marshall will cover:
• Why developing existing clients is so important
• The key principles of Client Development
• Which clients to focus on
This sessions is designed to provide guidance for anyone, at any level, who is involved in developing long-term client relationships – this is not just for Client Service teams! Strategists and Creatives can play an important role too, so please join us.
Look out for part 2 coming in October!

These sessions take place every other Friday morning from 8.30-9am, for the BCI community to share their pearls of wisdom with one another. The half hour webinars will involve a 15 minute presentation followed by a 10 minute facilitated Q&A, with introductions from the BCI team.
Our community is full of such amazing talent so we’re giving members the stage to talk about things that excite them so they can inspire their peers. The sessions will be a mix of expert tips and tricks and case studies – the perfect opportunity to learn something new before the week is out.
Our usual online format is an interactive ‘meeting’ but for this series we’re running webinars so that it’s easy to listen in while prepping for the day ahead or while having your breakfast! Cameras and mics will be off but you can ask your questions through the chat box or submit them beforehand.
Please get in touch with Sian if you’re interested in speaking at a future session.
