As a growth-driven agency leader, you’re constantly looking for ways to keep clients longer and grow them faster.
Scaling client accounts isn’t just about throwing more dollars into campaigns—it’s about timing, positioning, and delivering impactful opportunities that align with your client’s growth journey.
Let’s dive into three key steps to grow your client accounts faster and scale your agency smarter.
1. The Right Time to Pitch Additional Budget
The best time to ask for more budget? When you’re already winning.
If your agency is consistently meeting or exceeding the key performance numbers your client agreed upon—whether it's lower CPAs, higher ROAS, or increased conversions—then it’s time to go bigger.
Why? Because success is the strongest indicator of future potential. If their current investment is delivering results, scaling up can amplify those wins even further.
Clients want to see momentum. When they do, they’ll be more open to investing additional resources to maximize growth. Strike when the fire is hot—add more fuel!
Pro Tip: Use Conduit’s holistic reporting dashboard to track KPIs and identify the perfect moment to propose an increased spend.
2. Position Yourself as a Growth Partner, Not Just a Vendor
Clients don’t just want an agency; they want a trusted partner who’s invested in their long-term success.
To grow accounts faster, you need to position yourself as a key player in their growth journey. This means:
Aligning your strategies with their evolving business goals.
Understanding their market challenges and opportunities.
Proactively offering insights and strategies that extend beyond digital ads.
When you show that you’re genuinely invested in their success—not just upselling for the sake of revenue—you build trust and become an indispensable part of their team.
Remember: Scaling up should always be presented as a mutual opportunity, not just an agency agenda.
3. Present the Opportunity with Impact, Not Just Numbers
When it’s time to propose an expanded budget, don’t just throw out a higher spend figure—show the impact.
Your client needs to see how additional investment translates to tangible business growth. Instead of saying, “Let’s add $10K to your ad spend,” reframe it like this:
“With an additional $10K, we can generate an extra 200 leads based on your current CPL, potentially driving $X in revenue.”
This approach transforms the conversation from an expense to an investment, making it easier for clients to say “yes” with confidence.
Pro Tip: Use data-backed insights, projections, and case studies to reinforce the value of scaling up.
Final Thoughts:
Growing your accounts faster isn’t about being pushy—it’s about being strategic, insightful, and aligned with your clients’ goals.
By focusing on performance benchmarks, positioning yourself as a growth partner, and framing expansion as a strategic investment, your agency will be poised for sustainable growth.
