Welcome to episode 115. If you're in agency new business or account management and responsible for contract renewals and account expansion, you're in for a huge treat because Tim Riesterer, author of ‘The Expansion Sale’ (Four Must-Win Conversations to Keep and Grow Your Customers), joins me.

Tim is a powerhouse and working with huge enterprises in this area, but he also has a background working in agencies.

We discussed data backed insight into:

• the real reason prospects buy and how to change your approach to new business
• why how you sell to prospects is not the way you should sell to existing clients
• why overcoming the client's status quo bias is the key to unlocking client growth
• why asking your client what problems they have just doesn't work
• and so much more.
