Running an agency is not always a walk in the park, but it doesn’t have to be a burden either. If you envision an agency that wins big and becomes more profitable, stop believing the myth that having more sales will solve all your problems. Instead, turn your focus on the stuff that’s most neglected or what I like to call the non-sexy side of running an agency.
In this week’s podcast episode, I have an interesting discussion with my guest, Kelly Gordon about how you can use your project management software to bring out the best in your team members. We also cover the differences between button-pushers and strategy people and how to manage them, and what you can do so you don’t miss a beat when somebody in your agency leaves, and a whole lot more!
If you’re an agency owner looking for the answer on how to make your agency profitable and grow massively, this is the episode for you! Tune in to this today!
