A few weeks ago, we had a client who loved our work and really wanted us to take her social media to the next level. She picked a package that was above her budget, but when it came time to pay, she tried to settle for a lower-priced option. Now, We’re sure you’ve been in a similar situation before, trying to find a middle ground when it seems like the ideal deal might not work out. We tried to offer her other options, but in the end, we had to part ways. It wasn’t an easy decision, but it was the right one. In the past, We’ll admit, we might have bent a little under pressure, wanting to please every client, even if it meant compromising on our values. We know, because when we were just starting out, we didn’t always have the confidence to stand firm. We were still figuring out our worth and how to set boundaries that respected both our work and the client’s needs. But over time, and especially now that we’re an officially registered agency, we’ve learned that growth comes from knowing our value and not being afraid to stand behind it. It wasn’t just a lesson for us as an agency—it was a reminder of why we do what we do. We’re committed to helping businesses grow, but not at the cost of underestimating our own worth. Sometimes, you have to say no to the wrong fit to make space for the right one. It’s about quality, not just quantity. Have you ever faced a tough decision where standing your ground felt risky but necessary? We’d love to hear how you handled it, share your experience in the comments.

They say, "Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life." For the past few weeks, I have noticed myself working restlessly. My days: filled with creative and strategic tasks. My nights: dedicated to coordinative tasks. Being in marketing and working with my clients is what gives me drive. Every potential client I've spoken to recently has had interesting businesses Every current client of mine works on businesses that truly excite me. To this day, I've never felt burdened by this journey. Every passionate entrepreneur I've spoken to understands the initial struggle of handling everything. But once processes are established, the ship practically sails itself. The journey I'm on now is challenging but precious to me. Looking back at the past few weeks, here's what I'm proud to have achieved: ?Onboarding a bookkeeping and tax specialist. ?Bringing on a new client whose project has excited me for a long time. ?Extending a contract with a client after a successful long-term collaboration. ?Starting a soft launch campaign with a client after several brainstorming sessions. The entrepreneurial journey is tough, but it's driven by a bigger purpose. Some aim to change the world, while others support those with innovative ideas. ___________________________________________ Hi, I'm Mizhgon, a creative content marketer with a tech background. I'm here to help companies elevate their social media presence with engaging content. Feeling uninspired by generic content? Let's schedule a strategy call to infuse some personality into your brand.

10 lessons every agency owner learns the hard way (unless you read this first): Being an agency owner is tough… But the mistakes you avoid could be the difference between thriving and burning out. Here are 10 brutal lessons I’ve learned so you don’t have to: 1. Don’t say “yes” to every client. Not all business is good business. 2. Avoid scaling too fast. Growing without the right systems in place will sink you. 3. Stop being the bottleneck. Delegating is your best friend. 4. Don’t chase trends. Focus on long-term strategies, not short-lived fads. 5. Never ignore cash flow management. Profits mean nothing if you can’t manage your finances. 6. Don’t over-promise. Under-promise and over-deliver is the only way to go. 7. Don’t forget your team. Investing in your people is investing in your future. 8. Stop trying to do everything yourself. Outsource what you’re not good at. 9. Don’t undervalue your services. Pricing yourself too low devalues your brand. 10. Don’t avoid tough conversations. Address issues with clients or team members head-on. And remember, you are the owner of your agency… So don’t let it own you. P.S. Repost to share with your network. & Follow Eddie Maalouf for more posts like this.

1. “Fair question. We have different options to serve clients… As of now, I don’t know if we can help you. I’ll have to know more about your current situation… And where you want to be to see if we can help or not. Are you against having a conversation around that?” Never reveal your prices in the beginning of the conversation. You give away all your power. They switch into price-based thinking. They have no ideal of the value you’ll provide. And you’ll get a “Think about it” objection. After asking the right questions… And after you present your solution, say this: 2. “The investment to achieve (outcome) is (your price). Most of our clients see results within a few weeks as long as they put in the work. How would you like to proceed from here?” Always reframe “cost” to “investment”. Noone wants another cost. Everyone wants investments with high ROIs. Reframe their worldview and lead them to the sale. . . ———— #businessowners #business #socialmediamanagement #socialmediamanger #socialmediaagency #socialmedia #socialmediamanager #socialmediamanagement #businessowners #accountmanagement #digitalmarketing #marketingstrategy #contentcreation #branding #socialmediatips #socialmediamarketing #socialmediastrategy #explorepage #instagram

Sometimes, staying small is the secret to doing big things. There’s always pressure to grow. Take on more clients. Hire more people. Chase bigger revenue. But here’s what I’ve learned: Bigger isn’t always better. When we scaled too quickly, quality slipped. The team burned out. And the results we were proud of started to suffer. So, we made a change. We capped the number of clients we take on. We embraced being a boutique agency. The result? Our team has the freedom to live their lives. Our clients get more focus, better outcomes, and real relationships. Staying small has been our biggest advantage. If you’re chasing growth, ask yourself: What are you sacrificing to get there? Because sometimes, less really is more. ?? Repost if you know quality matters more than growth. ? Follow Oliver Allen for expert advice on authentic and transparent marketing strategies.

What if you could reclaim 30+ hours a week, grow your business, and finally have time for the people who matter most? When I first met Nick, he was overwhelmed. A pastor, a father of three, and the owner of a growing digital marketing agency, he felt like he was drowning. His days were stretched thin, filled with endless SEO audits, Canva designs, and automation workflows for six demanding clients. At night, he lay awake, torn between his responsibilities to his family, his ministry, and his business. Nick wasn’t just tired; he was burning out. He wanted to grow his agency but didn’t know how to take the next step without sacrificing more of himself. That’s where we came in. We matched Nick with Edward, an experienced SEO Specialist who immediately took over the heavy lifting: managing SEO audits, optimizing content, and handling client communications. In the first month, Nick reclaimed 30+ hours a week. For the first time in years, he could focus on what mattered most—building client relationships, spending time with his kids, and preparing sermons without the constant weight of his business. But the real transformation came in the second month. With Edward managing the day-to-day operations, Nick’s business started to thrive. Leads that had been slipping through the cracks turned into real opportunities. Three verbal commitments became long-term clients, and revenue increased by 20%. Best of all, Nick found time to reconnect with his family—weekly dinners became a new tradition. By month three, Nick wasn’t just surviving. He was thriving. His business added two new clients, his stress levels dropped by 70%, and he finally had time to dream about the future again. Nick’s story isn’t unique. It’s the story of so many entrepreneurs who give everything to their business but feel like there’s nothing left for themselves. Full Case Studies Here [https://lnkd.in/gp3nGCR3]

Agency growth 101 (what I've learned): Growth doesn’t mean working 100-hour weeks. Growth doesn’t mean saying “yes” to every client. Growth doesn’t mean waiting for the perfect time. Growth happens when you scale the right things: your systems, your team, and your time. If you’re ready to get out of the day to day and start scaling smarter and faster than ever, dm me "growth".

She paid me £100 and turned it into £14,000 That’s what my client told me yesterday. She took the idea that we brainstormed and developed in the hour we spent together and she agreed a price of £14k with her own client. That’s some ROI. Makes me wish I’d charged her more ?? The reason she was able to do that was because she’s an implementor. She’s the type of client who does all her homework. She’s the exact type of person you want to work with because she does the work and then you can write posts like this. The way you get a return on your money is by taking action. It’s by DOING the stuff. Are you ready to do the stuff? Cos I’m ready for more results like that ?? I’ve got one space left to mentor an ambitious coach or consultant who has just left (or is thinking about leaving) corporate to start their own business and wants to seriously nail their marketing strategy. If that’s you, DM me and let’s talk.

I've reviewed 35+ agencies proposals and such a high proportion of them have been suffering from Frankenstein's Monster Syndrome ??♂? The most common mistakes I see: - Stitching together old slides that don't necessarily tell a story (??♂?) - Underselling themselves without knowing it - Talking about what they will do, instead of why - Neglecting some of the core building blocks that build value - "We"ing all over the place, with very little recognition of the client's POV - Forgetting that a client is permanently asking 'WIIFM?' (What's in it for me?) - Losing points of differentiation accidentally We've all been there. Proposals are a monster to manage, and need to be turned around quickly to get the best results. Fortunately there are some things you can do to build fantastic templates that work harder for you (so you don't have to! ??). --- ? Next week I am offering 2 free agency proposal reviews. Soon I will have to stop offering these, but I am a complete nerd about this stuff and genuinely love it (just ask my clients ??). DM me to request yours. Here's some recent feedback from one of these! "...every time she brings the kind of insight that makes you stop and rethink everything you thought you were doing well. I asked Ali to take a look at the proposal documents we use at Giraffe Social for new business. Her feedback? Super positive (phew) - but she still managed to ?nd a whole list of ways we could sharpen them up even further. Ideas I'd never even considered but now can't imagine doing without. Ali sees opportunities where most of us see “good enough”."

86 to 3. No, that isn't the score of a mismatched college football game. Could be. That is the span of ages at my family gathering on Thanksgiving Day. The eldest, and the family matriarch, is now 86 years old. The youngest -- just under 3 months. When you have an appreciation for both ends of the spectrum -- especially if you are a parent yourself -- that range of life length seems rather stark. Stark and vastly different... UNTIL you realize that no matter how long we've been here on this Earth, it is still only a moment compared to the existence of Earth itself. ?? Before you get too immersed in the latest this-or-that #marketing #tool, consider how it compares against what you really need and want to achieve: #Business #Growth over a span of time. ? Will what you are planning to do and use over the next 30 to 390 days actually help you to grow your firm? ?? If you are not 100% certain, start with a step that has already been the starting point for 10 businesses' growth so far this quarter: 75 to 15. Still not a football score (American). Although it could be. 75% growth -- year-over-year for Oct.//Nov. for a solopreneur bookkeeper. 15% growth -- Q3 year-over-year for an established CPA firm with 8 on staff. If that piques your interest as results you'd like to have, see the [Comments]. ?? 86 ???? 3.?75 ???? 15.?63 ???? 10... ???????? ?? realistic ???????????? ?????? ??????'?? ???? ?????????? ????! ????????????????
