Growth Intelligence Workshop for founder-led agencies

New business in bursts? Three hours to pick your five best targets and a 90-day plan to win them.

A focused working session to decide who to pursue, why they would buy, and what you should do next. We map the buying group, pressure points, signals and best route in, then play back those choices in a 90-day roadmap you can use with your team.

The Workshop stands on its own as the first step of AllboundOS.

What you leave with

A roadmap you can act on

We capture the choices in a 90-day roadmap, so you can use it with your team, whether or not we work together again.

ICP power map

Which customers have proven value, who controls the budget, who influences the choice, and who is outside your focus.

Buying journey

What buyers are trying to solve, what makes your offer credible, where deals stall, and the ask that moves a conversation forward.

Signal map

Observable changes that make a buyer or market worth your attention now, with a realistic way to monitor them.

Channel routing

When to use content, a relevant one-to-one conversation, or an introduction through someone they trust.

Priority opportunities and next moves

Up to five target organisations or live conversations, each with the buyer role, reason to act, route in and next move.

Who runs it

Dan Caplin, 26 years agency-side

Dan has sat on both sides of the pitch. He's been an agency MD, led business development at agencies in data, AI, UX, search, ecommerce, creative and digital marketing, and matched brands with agencies at Ingenuity. He runs every Workshop himself.

Inside the workshop

Find the constraint. Make the calls. Leave with a route forward.

01. Find the constraint

We look at your best work, where money has actually come from, the people who buy it and the point where growth gets stuck. For one founder that is targeting. For another it is converting interest into paid work.

02. Make the calls

We map buyer pressure to what you can credibly solve, the proof needed to win trust, the signals worth watching and the precise ask. Dan challenges vague answers while the decisions are made in the room.

03. Act on the roadmap

We turn the decisions into a 90-day roadmap and play it back with you. We test the recommendations together, agree the priority opportunities and hand over a plan your team can run, with or without us.

From real workshops

What the decisions look like

A specialist creative founder had built a referral-led business but was treating too many companies as potential targets. The working session narrowed the focus to a proven sector, mapped the communications buyers and shaped a fixed-price first offer. At the playback, those choices became a 90-day sequence with five priority organisations.

In the roadmap

We tested the positioning against real accounts. For one target, the proposed angle was “rebuilding trust is an editorial job, not an advertising one.” The roadmap set out the buyer, reason to act, route in and first move.

What happened next

The follow-on target research verified five organisations with a trigger, buyer and way in. It also reminded the founder of a warm senior contact he had forgotten.

When the problem is conversion

Another business had plenty of interested brands, but free tests were rarely converting into paid work. The workshop found the gap: six weeks of silence after a test and no clear paid next step. At the playback, the team shaped a paid pilot with check-ins and a results review booked upfront.

The decision that mattered

Focus on five live conversations, each with a paid ask in front of someone who can approve it. Keep buyers engaged through the pilot, then present results and ask for the next paid tier. Validate the offer and price before building a wider prospecting system.

How it runs

One fit call, one working session, one roadmap playback

Before

A free 30-minute fit call. Then we review your best clients, current opportunities, market and existing approach. Bring rough answers, not polished slides.

The session

Three hours with Dan and the founder or commercial decision maker, remote or in person, whichever suits you. We identify the real constraint, challenge vague answers and make the choices together.

THE PLAYBACK

Within a week of the session, we play back the findings and 90-day roadmap with you, pressure-test the recommendations and hand over the priorities and first actions. Use it yourself. Weekly monitoring, CRM workflow and activity set-up through Signals or Engine is a separate engagement.

Who it's for

A good fit

  • You run a founder-led agency or consultancy.
  • New business happens in bursts, and you want to know where to aim.
  • You have relationships and reputation, and no system that uses them.
  • You'd rather leave with decisions than a report.

Not a fit

  • You want leads bought by the appointment.
  • You want to hand sales over completely.
  • Nobody will have time to act on what we decide.
