Key Takeaways:

  • Most agencies treat case studies as an afterthought, updating them infrequently, which reduces their relevance and credibility.
  • A consistent flow of up-to-date case studies builds authority and helps prospects see themselves in your success stories.
  • Sean recommends reframing them as “client wins” to lower the barrier for team members to submit them.
  • Creating a simple system makes the process sustainable and scalable.
  • A Google Form feeding into Slack and Sheets provides real-time visibility and a searchable database.
  • Making “client win” submissions a core job expectation ensures consistency.
  • Case studies should align with client goals and teach something valuable—not just highlight success.
  • Regularly publishing these wins on your site helps support sales conversations with timely, relevant examples.

Tools Mentioned:

  • Google Forms
  • Slack (or similar team comms tool)
  • Google Sheets (for tracking and historical database)
