Agency Builders

Thanks for the 10X Agency Growth: Secrets to Scaling from $1M to $10M webinar, Logan Lyles. Great to learn from Bonsai- excited to learn more about their agency management tool. My biggest takeaway is the shift from a transactional to a partnership mindset. Our new CEO, Ray Cameron, has been pushing the focus on alignment with our client company goals. It's a WIP! Thank you!

I've baked this question into my "rapid fire" round of the last 2 podcasts I've hosted: Who's 1 person who's had a BIG impact on your agency journey? Here are 5 reasons a similar question could be valuable for your podcast: 1) It Builds Community At Agency Builders, our mantra "Collaboration over Competition" is part of how we've built a (very fast-growing) community of peers who are willing to support each other even when they may be competitors in certain scenarios. Brining this aspect to our podcast just made sense. 2) It Creates Shareable Moments If you host/produce a podcast, you're undoubtedly pulling clips to share on #LinkedIn (or at least you should be). But finding those moments is often a time-consuming task (I still think most AI tools leave a lot to be desired in the clip identification task). So, if you're short on time, create a few recurring moments you can *always* pull out, and this question creates a nice personal moment that's great for that. 3) It Reaches Beyond Your Network While my previous point is true, this question specifically is even more shareable, because (a) it's a moment your guest will be likely to share, because it's very natural & non self-promtional & (b) your guest can easily tag the person they mentioned in the clip...providing even more opportunity for 2nd degree connection sharing. 4) It Helps You Find Other Guests If someone in our industry has had an impact on our guest's career journey, it's likely they'd have a great story to tell & insights to share on the podcast as well. So, this question has actually lead to very natural new guest outreach & great follow up episodes for the podcast. 5) It Helps Create More Content With the question I mentioned above, it also gives us the option to round up ever 20-25 answers into a fun list like, "Agency Leaders You May Not Know, But Should Be Following" What would you add? #B2B #marketing #podcasting #growth #agencygrowth #digitalagency btw...this clip came from last week's GREAT conversation with Linda Hafstad where she mentioned Derek Shaw on the Agency Builders Podcast. Highly recommend you give her a follow (& check out our full conversation linked below).

I’ve asked one question to 50 agency owners in the past 12 months. “What’s one mistake you’ve made running your agency that you’ll never forget?” The most common answer? “I wish I’d invested in my own financial literacy sooner!” If you’ve felt the same way, maybe you’ve tried, only to get stuck with more questions like: What financial metrics should I focus on right now? And, if you answer that question, then you’re guessing—how can my team impact those financial metrics that matter most? If this sounds all too familiar, you’re not gonna wanna miss next week’s Agency Builders livestream (aka webinar ??) I’m gonna be sitting down with Ryan Watson to unpack the 5 Financial Metrics High-Performing Agencies Get Right. Ryan’s a former agency COO & CFO himself, so he comes with financial know-how…but also real agency life experience. He’s gonna share: The 5 Financial Metrics successful agencies get right (from Upsourced’s own analysis of agency client data) ?? An introduction to the Hierarchy of Financial Needs (that will help you determine the right financial metric to prioritize NOW) ?? The 3-part Margin Triangle, a framework that’ll help you ensure more of your clients projects are as profitable as possible ?? Come join us to increase your financial literacy. And get a leg up on your 2025 planning. Link in the comments if you wanna join us live (or register to get the recording…I know how it goes ????) #B2B #growth #agencygrowth #digitalagency
