Clear metrics. Mapped experience. Demonstrated results that show you belong in the room. Agencies buy from firms that reduce risk.

In government sales, Iโve seen this mistake many times. โWe know the agency.โ โWe have a great relationship.โ That is not a strategy. If you are not aligned with the right contract vehicle, the right buying office, the right timing, and the right solution to their problem, Relationships alone will not save you. But when you do have a clear strategy, Relationships accelerate everything. Access improves. Feedback sharpens. Positioning gets stronger. Strategy gives direction. Relationships increase velocity. Today, are you leading with relationships or with a strong strategy accelerated by your relationships?

For a change, I took a look at myself, and for the first time I did see, That the problem wasnโt my employees, the problem began with me. The…
