A typical agency’s new business strategy relies on referrals, directors networking, content marketing and a few lead gen emails here and there.

Jay talks to Steve and Claire, co-founders of As the Crow Flies, on how agencies can’t just sit back and wait for leads, why the directors shouldn’t be responsible for sales, what really makes a successful strategy and how to get started.
