Sales, operations and delivery
The three most common areas where Digital agencies struggle
Being a a Digital Agency owner can be lonely (even if you have a team) – there I’ve said it! 🙏
The pressure to:
- Run a business
- Source leads
- Drive sales
- Manage projects
- Design Websites
- Build Websites
- Optimise Websites
- Build Recurring Revenue
- Manage a Team
- Manage Clients
- Run meetings
- Deliver projects on time
- Turn a profit
- Outsource work
- Recruit
- …
… the list goes on. And all too often Digital Agencies fail and their owners burn out due to overwhelm.
I’ve worked in teams where staff have literally disappeared overnight and then had to be phased back into the team months later, making life more stressful for those left to deal with it. I’ve also taken over an entire freelancer’s portfolio because they couldn’t handle it anymore and went and got a “real job” to do away with some of the stress.
I’ve seen it too many times and I don’t want to see it any more. More to the point, I don’t want that for you.
Over the last 7 years, I’ve developed a range of means that have allowed me to help agencies across the world.
Agency Reset
The Agency Reset is a quick, no-frills, (semi-intense) coaching program for Agency Owners / Freelancers who are stuck right now. Typically, this works for those experiencing one of more of these issues:
- An inconsistent pipeline of projects or new clients
- A lack of recurring revenue, and the subsequent cashflow
- A lack of direction in their business
- Overwhelm and too much on their plate – they don’t know where to turn next
I also realise that if people are in a bit of a jam right now, the last thing they need is a coach to come in with all their ideals and new processes and start ripping things up from the ground up – if your cashflow is tight, you need to play to your strengths.
That’s why I came up with the Agency Reset – it’s a really straightforward 6-week program that is designed to cut through the crap and get your business back on track.
What you get is this:
✅ 6 x weekly 1:1 calls – plus access to me through Slack between calls.
✅ An honest coach – asking the right questions, not the easy ones.
✅ A grassroots agency review – making sure the foundations are solid and your pipeline is established.
✅ A framework to grow your recurring revenue – this isn’t about imposing a workflow, but about developing a framework that is unique to your agency and your customer based on your skillset and recurring offering.
✅ Tools and templates – for tracking and growing your MRR and your pipeline.
✅ 1:1 Accountability – to set your priorities and keep you motivated to get going with them.
Access to the Agency Reset is via Application to make sure it’s a good fit for all involved. If you need help (and need it now) you can complete an application below.
