“Gabe brings a rare mix of strategic thinking and hands-on execution. He’s thought deeply about how agencies grow, especially when it comes to positioning and new business. And has a real knack for spotting the levers that actually move things forward. What I’ve appreciated most is how quickly he turns insight into action. He’s not just strategising, he’s out there making things happen, building momentum fast, and doing it in a way that still feels aligned with the long-term plan. A great partner for any agency looking to grow with intention."Tom Pursey, Founder, Flying Object
New business feels impossible to keep up and even harder to hand-off.
Most agencies rely on their founders to bring in work. Which means when they're busy delivering, their pipeline runs dry.Hiring a full-time BDM feels like the fix, until you face the cost and the risk of whether they’ll deliver.So new business stays neglected and founders stay stuck in the cycle.
Get a proven new business system and an expert to run it.
Not a risky full-time hire. Not another consultant. And definitely not a lead-gen agency.Just a proven system that brings in the right opportunities, run by someone who has actually grown agencies.
The new system for new business growth.
Most advice on winning new business sounds simple: “just niche down, just do outbound, just build a personal brand.”But the truth is, agencies grow in different ways, under different conditions.That’s why I created the New Business Code my system for making sense of agency growth. It’s built to answer the questions no one else could:
If positioning is so essential, why do so many agencies succeed without it?
How does what I sell shape the tactics that will actually grow my agency?
How do I combine different tactics into a coherent strategy that actually wins work?
Agency founders partner with me so can they focus on what makes them happy. The actual work.
Hi there 👋 I’m Gabe, a freelance BDM with over five years of experience growing agencies (including two of my own). I partner with agency founders to make investing in growth less risky, without distracting them from the work they love.
Hiring a BDM
High cost: £50–70k+ salary before overheads, training, and bonuses.
High risk: hard to know if they’ll deliver before you’ve sunk the cost.
Hard to find: few candidates truly understand how agencies grow.
Needs managing: they report to you, adding more to your plate.
One-dimensional: most can prospect, but not position, market, and close.
Hiring a Gabe
Lower cost: flexible, fractional model from £2k/month.
Lower risk: proven track record generating £1.2M+ for agencies.
Agency-specific: I’ve built and scaled agencies myself, so I know the playbook.
Hands-off for you: I run the system; you stay focused on delivery.
Full package: positioning, marketing, outreach, content, events, and sales representation in one.
P.S as there's actually just one of me I work with a max of two clients at a time.
