DESCRIPTION
To grow from 16 – 1000 people at a pace not seen by many agencies, meant breaking a few rules. If you follow the rules of new business - if you follow the same path of every other agency – you can expect the same mediocre results. Bogusky believes most are approaching it all bass-ackward. Most think about new business when they’re desperate for it. In his mind that’s way too late. Learn the CP+B strategy to getting more proactive, to breaking the rules... to stealing more business and winning more pitches.

Welcome to the Tuesday morning keynote address.*

Somewhere along the way, we got pretty good at new business.
In fact, we have never lost a new business pitch in our history.
Eventually, we got clients without a review.
I will tell you the secret. We cheated.
Cheating.
They teach us our whole lives not to do it.
But who made the rules? Why don’t they
want you to cheat?
Cheating is merely breaking the rules that the
previous generation has set to protect their wealth.
Finally, IBM says the next five years will see more change
than the last 50.
