Commercial skills i.e. individual ability to ask the right questions, know how to spot, develop and present new ideas as well as ask for referrals and testimonials 3. Cultural continuity i.e. an agency process to make behaviours more predictable and hardwire account growth into the business This helps to future-proof the agency's business and creates a competitive advantage in the market.
