Ep 59: What Most Agencies Don't Want You to See
Summary
In this solo episode, host Sean Lang pulls back the curtain on what agencies look like behind the polished front. Using an anonymous case study, Sean diagnoses the common struggles agencies face, lumpy sales, unclear positioning, weak financial visibility, and lack of standardized processes, and maps out a clear three phase plan to stabilize, scale, and strengthen.
Takeaways
- Most agencies rely too heavily on referrals, leading to unpredictable sales.
- Positioning and ICP clarity unlock repeatable sales.
- Profit margins vanish without client-level cost tracking.
- SOPs and onboarding roadmaps reduce chaos and build client trust.
- Defining and embedding values improves hiring and team performance.
- AI and automation amplify efficiency once systems are in place.
