Mastering client experience: The 1% rule for retention and growth
In a competitive agency landscape, winning new business is tough — but retaining and growing existing clients is where the real long-term value lies. This masterclass will show you how to master the client experience by focusing on small, consistent improvements that drive big results.
Grounded in the 1% rule, you’ll learn how to identify the gaps in your client experience, implement meaningful changes, and measure their impact — all without overhauling your entire approach.
Many agencies focus heavily on securing new business but overlook the potential within existing accounts. Poor communication, misaligned expectations, and lack of strategic engagement are key reasons clients leave — even when the work is strong. The 1% rule is based on the idea that small, strategic improvements throughout the client journey can significantly boost client satisfaction, increase retention, and unlock growth opportunities over time.
You’ll learn:
How to understand the key drivers of client satisfaction and retention
To identify 1% improvements across the client lifecycle
How to measure improvements in client sentiment and satisfaction
Agenda
Why Client Experience Matters – The link between satisfaction, retention, and growth
The 1% Rule – How small improvements create big results over time
Identifying Gaps – Where most agencies lose client trust and how to fix it
Building a Client-Centric Approach – Embedding this mindset into your processes
Measuring Success – How to track and improve client sentiment
Action Planning – Developing a tailored plan for your agency

Pitch Perfect: Practise Without the Pressure
A safe, small-group space to refine your pitch, test your positioning, and get feedback that actually helps.
About the Event
Pitching shouldn’t feel like performance theatre. *Pitch Perfect* is designed as a supportive space where founders and directors can practise their pitch or positioning without the pressure of a prospect in the room.

Each participant will use a simple scoring framework to guide feedback and track progress. The aim isn’t perfection, it’s confidence — knowing your story lands before it really counts

Make your agency the obvious choice
Stop blending in. Start standing out.
Most agencies struggle not because of capability, but because their positioning is fuzzy and their messaging is generic. If your agency sounds just like everyone else’s, prospects will have no reason to pick you.
In this masterclass, agency positioning expert Roland Gurney will show you how to cut through the noise, make the tough decisions that define your niche, and build messaging that gets you chosen. Plain-speaking, practical, and immediately actionable, this session will give you the clarity and confidence to sharpen your story and win more of the right work.
You will learn:
A simple, proven system for nailing your positioning.
How to make big, strategic decisions about WHO, WHAT and HOW.
A clear structure for presenting your positioning with impact.
Agenda
Why most agency problems stem from poor positioning.
The Treacle positioning triangle (WHO, WHAT, HOW).
Using AI to test and validate ideas.
How to structure landing page copy to present your positioning.
Messaging tips and techniques to tell and sell your new positioning.
Masterclass host
Roland Gurney is a specialist in helping agencies stand out, sharpen up and sell their unique expertise. Through Treacle, he works with creative, digital and marketing agencies to strip away the fluff, uncover what truly makes them different and turn it into positioning and messaging that wins clients.
Roland’s approach is plain-speaking, commercially minded and unafraid to challenge beige thinking. He believes positioning isn’t about clever slogans or superficial claims. It’s about making big and often difficult business decisions about WHO to work with, WHAT to offer them, and HOW to uniquely deliver success.
Having helped hundreds of agencies worldwide nail their new positioning and messaging, Roland has seen all the common mistakes that hamper sales and make marketing a hassle. So when shops are tired of sounding like everyone else, they come to Treacle to sharpen their edge.
Who should attend
Agency founders, leaders and BD professionals who want to:
Differentiate their agency in a crowded market
Refine their strategic direction and make braver choices
Build sharper messaging that wins better clients

Smarter sales: Mindset meets performance
As we approach the end of the calendar year, it’s tempting to see sales planning as a numbers exercise.

In this masterclass, sales performance expert Vinit Shah will raise your awareness of how mindset, EQ, and focus shape the way you approach critical sales activities. You’ll learn how to manage change and chaos with clarity, prioritise the right actions, and connect personal effectiveness to a smarter sales plan that drives results.

Closing the gap between BD and client services
This 90-minute virtual masterclass is designed to equip business development and client service professionals with the tools, mindset, and structure needed to build brilliant client relationships from the very first interaction and keep them thriving over time.
Too many agencies are operating in reactive mode: firefighting, over-servicing, and papering over cracks caused by unclear roles, poor briefing, and broken processes. This session flips that script by focusing on the real magic of client services — the part that sits at the intersection of trust-building, commercial savvy, and creative collaboration.
Attendees will explore the often-overlooked role that account management plays in business development success — not just winning clients, but keeping them, growing them, and turning them into long-term champions.
Expect a session that blends practical frameworks, real agency insights, and interactive moments that get people thinking, sharing, and shifting perspectives.
Aims of the session
Shine a spotlight on the client services function as a growth engine, not just a delivery mechanism.
Help BD and CS teams align around a shared vision of what great client experience looks like.
Provide tools and techniques that attendees can use immediately to improve how they work with clients and each other.
Shift people out of firefighting mode and into their “zone of brilliance.”
Agenda
Part 1: From Chaos to Clarity
Part 2: The Hidden Power of Account Management
Part 3: The Brilliance Blueprint
Part 4: Interactive Challenge – Fix the Friction
Part 5: From Insight to Action
Masterclass host
Cut me and I will bleed client services.
BD keeps the pipeline flowing, but what happens after the pitch? Too often, agencies neglect the real work of keeping and growing clients. That’s where Sally Stevens comes in.
Sally is on a mission to reclaim the lost art of account management. When done well, it’s not just a support function, it’s the beating heart of agency brilliance. It’s what turns chaos into clarity, builds unshakable trust, and creates the conditions for truly legendary work.
In this interactive masterclass, Sally will share how repositioning client services as a strategic driver can transform your agency’s profitability, team morale, and client retention. You will leave with tools, insights, and new perspectives to help you and your team shift from firefighting to forward momentum, so everyone gets to operate in their zone of brilliance.

Manchester Community Networking & Pre-Drinks
BD Matters is proud to support the launch of FuckUp Nights Manchester – join us for pre-drinks, good chats, and even better stories.
Failure happens. So let’s talk about it.
FuckUp Nights is a global movement where people get on stage and share the big mistakes, the wrong turns, and the not-so-shiny bits of their careers. No fluff. No filters. Just real stories from people who’ve messed up — and lived to tell the tale.
It’s honest, it’s funny, and more than anything, it’s a reminder that failure is part of the journey. Not something to hide, but something to learn from.
Now, it’s landed in Manchester.
Come along if you fancy hearing some brilliant stories, meeting decent people, and being part of a community that’s reshaping how we talk about failure. Because let’s face it — we’ve all got a story.
Tickets are limited and if you sign up to our pre-drinks event you will receive a 10% discount code for tickets to the FuckUp Nights event.
