A long time ago, I only got clients from referrals/word of mouth/networking events.
Then, I would go into “delivery mode,” the pair of hands for every client. So the outreach, networking, marketing, etc., would grind to a halt. So then I would try to hire, Which meant I was giving all the profit to a subcontractor. So I had to go and network and ask for referrals, And then I would go into delivery mode.
It was a vicious cycle of hustling, delivering, then hustling again.
The problem was I had literally built a business that required me to be the central “lynchpin” around which everything revolved.
There was no trick or hack I could use to get myself out of it.
So, we had to build a better, more scalable model from the ground up.
We went from:
Traditional Agency — with low-profit margins, a lot of custom work, where we were running closer and closer to the red to enroll new clients
to
Alternative Agency — higher margins, scalable offers, minor team, could enroll 20 more clients tomorrow if we wanted.
And if you’re interested in the same, I want to show you how to make that happen.
You are a true subject matter expert
Charging $3-$15k for projects
I have worked with several clients and gotten results
