Outsourced business development to help put your agency in front of key decision makers at the brands you want to work with
How we do it
Initial Discussions
Firstly, we will undergo an assessment process to understand each other’s requirements, capabilities, and objectives. This involves discussing your services, target market, client base, growth aspirations, and finally whether you are the right profile for S7.
Proposal and Agreement
We will then prepare a proposal outlining the potential collaboration or partnership. The proposal may include details on the scope of work, goals, timeline, expected outcomes, and any financial arrangements. Both you and us at S7 will review and negotiate the proposal until an agreement is reached.
Onboarding and Integration
Once the agreement is signed, the onboarding and integration process begins. This includes any training that we need to undergo at S7 in order to fully represent your agency to the best of our ability. We will also use this time to fully educate you, as a new client on our methodologies and client base.
Performance Evaluation
Our performance is evaluated based on predefined metrics and goals. This will be done on a monthly basis with regular catch-ups and reports sent throughout the month.

Hiring a full-time business development team can be expensive for small and medium-sized agencies, therefore we provide an affordable alternative by offering flexible pricing models and customised services that meet the specific needs of your business.Time
We help companies save time by handling tasks such as market research, lead generation, and proposal development. This allows you to focus on your core competencies and frees up your internal resources to focus on other important business operations.I founded S7 Business Development with a vision to empower businesses and brands with the tools they need to thrive in today’s competitive landscape.
After working in the industry for over 10 years, I saw the potential that businesses have when working with business development professionals and also, I identified the gap in the market after speaking to lots of brands on their agency selection process.
This therefore inspired me to create an agency that not only supports business development but also fosters strong, impactful partnerships between brands and agencies. At S7, we are committed to driving success and unlocking opportunities for our clients, propelling them towards a future of limitless possibilities.

We work with Farrukh and S7 for our business development and his approach is clear, direct and effective. Finding new clients is vital for any small business and S7 has taken the time to fully understand what we do and how we do it before going to market. This has led to positive responses from prospects, qualified meetings and given us a good foundation on which to build our proposition and convert to new business.
Des Paul, Executive Producer and MD The Content Works
We have been working with Farrukh for a number of years and his ability to support our new business needs is second to none. His approach, professionalism and ability to understand our core business has delivered results each and every time. He will continue to be a valuable resource and we hope to be working with him for many years to come.
Steve Pritchard, Director itWorks
We love working with Farrukh and the S7 team. They really take the time to understand your business and what success looks like for you, and then apply that to their work. Most importantly, we’ve never worked with someone where we’ve had such positive feedback on their initial cold calls and sales approach from the potential clients we do meet. It’s great to know we can trust them to really represent our business the way we would want.
Hannah Thorpe, MD Verkeer
Farrukh has been brilliant to work with so far on our business development initiatives. We have good quality meetings booked in every month, and have closed what we would consider a dream client. Farrukh is always on hand to answer questions, sets realistic expectations, and is honest and thorough in his account management and reporting. I’d recommend without hesitation.
Lucy Kirkness, Founder and MD Pandable
Working with Farrukh has been great, his enthusiasm for our business and real professionalism has opened many doors. We had previously worked with some very well known sales development agencies all who have never really cared about our business and as a result performed poorly. Farrukh on the other hand has been an actual extension of our team and able to act as our dedicated sales director.
Philip Driver, Founder and CEO CommerceCentric
Within the first minute of speaking to Farrukh after I took his call he had me convinced he was the right person to hire for Catch Creative. The irony is we weren’t even looking for a sales person at the time but he made a sound case because of his power of persuasion. He subsequently went on to secure several meetings with some of the big names in the banking world for us. He is extremely presentable, will adapt for your brands tone and messaging and knows exactly the right tactics to use.
