Summary:

Most agency owners think their problem is leads.

It’s not. It’s positioning, people, and a completely broken definition of “results.”

In this episode, I sit down with Matt Raminick to break down what actually separates scalable agencies from the ones stuck in constant chaos.

Takeaways:

• The real reason agencies struggle to “crack $1M” (hint: it’s not effort)
  
  
• Why I believe positioning should happen on day one, not year three
  
  
• The hidden downside of hiring ex-brand talent (and how to fix it fast)
  
  
• How to build a team of “T shaped” operators who think beyond their channel
  
  
• The exact shift I made to stop being the bottleneck in my own agency
  
  
• Why most agencies optimize for the wrong metrics and how that destroys trust
  
  
• The long-game client strategy that quietly builds your pipeline for years
