Profit More, Work Less: 4 Steps to Niching Down For Your Agency

Image
Ever wonder what the most successful agencies did differently than everyone else? Was it luck, skill, hard work, the industry they chose, or something else? Through my consulting work at Revenue Boost, I’ve worked with and taught over 400+ agencies how to scale their business. From this, I’ve seen consistent patterns & traits in the ones who grow effortlessly… Versus the ones who stay stuck for years – no matter how hard they work. One key difference in approach stuck out to me. I’ll illustrate what this one difference was with a story. Once upon a time… Two marketers graduated from business school with big plans to start their own agency.  Ready to conquer the world, they started cold calling, cold emailing, and doing everything under the sun to get clients. And although they had the SAME levels of work ethic and talent… One of them now has an 8-figure agency. The other one of them is still freelancing odd jobs, barely making ends meet. What did the successful on...

Foundations of Agency Success: Simplifying Operations for Growth

Image
Why do we read books like Traction, Scaling Up, and the E-Myth and still struggle with implementing systems, defining processes, and training people in our agency? Those are incredibly comprehensive methodologies. And yet digital agencies still suffer from feast or famine months, inconsistent results and timelines on projects, quality control, revisions, and much more. It’s not because they aren’t excellent at what they do. I t’s not because there isn’t value in their service. It’s often because they haven’t defined the three most important elements of delivery: the how , the when, and the why .  Complicating our operations early on can lead to a ton of failure in implementing them. Business owners overcomplicate their own processes, hesitate to write things down, and then there’s a ton of operational drag in the company. Couple that with split attention and paper-thin resources and you have yourself an agency that spends most of its time putting out fires, reacting to proble...

15 Ways to Get Job Experience for Your Resume

Image
insta_photos / Shutterstock.com A common misconception about work experience is that for it to “count,” it has to be formal work experience.
