The Critical Steps Most Agencies Skip When Trying to Scale
Here’s what keeps me up at night: I see brilliant agency owners struggling to scale because they’re skipping the most crucial steps.
They jump straight to operations, hiring, and systems – completely skipping the foundations that make sustainable growth possible:
- World-class positioning
- An irresistible offer that commands premium fees
It’s like trying to build a skyscraper without first laying proper foundations. You might make some initial progress, but eventually, the whole thing becomes unstable.
Let me show you what happens when you get these foundations right first…
The Power of Starting with Positioning
When Wally first came to us, he was selling $2,500 service packages. The work was good, but the pricing structure limited his growth and ability to attract high-value clients.
Most consultants would have told him to hire more staff or build better systems. Instead, we helped him focus on the foundations first – positioning and offer development.
The transformation was remarkable:
- His service packages evolved from $2.5K → $25K → $250K → $450K
- He’s now building million-dollar partnerships
- He’s become the recognized expert in his space
- He’s landed board positions and association leadership roles
This wasn’t about working harder or having a bigger team.
It was about fundamentally repositioning his value in the market.
The Domino Effect of an Irresistible Offer
Consider Jeff’s journey. Like many agency owners, he was trapped in the time-for-money model, selling work by the hour. The conventional wisdom would have been to hire more people or build better project management systems.
Instead, he started with reimagining how he positioned and packaged his services. The result? He now closes $1M consulting packages.
Why Most Scaling Programs Fail
Traditional scaling programs focus on operations, systems, and hiring. While these are important, they’re not the foundation. Without world-class positioning and an irresistible offer:
- Your pricing will always face resistance
- Your team will struggle to deliver consistent results
- Your growth will depend on your personal involvement
- Your margins will erode as you scale
The Better Way Forward
Before you invest in more systems or hire more staff, ask yourself:
- Does your positioning attract premium clients who value outcomes over deliverables?
- Does your offer command fees 2-3X higher than your competitors?
- Can your team sell and deliver your services without your constant involvement?
These aren’t just nice-to-haves. They’re the foundations that make sustainable scaling possible.
That’s why we’re opening applications for our February Irresistible Offer Intensive.
Over 8 weeks, we help agency owners build these crucial foundations:
- Create world-class positioning that attracts premium clients
- Build an irresistible offer that commands 2-3X higher fees
- Develop a Client Success Map that sells itself
- Set up the foundations for delivering exceptional results without CEO involvement
Most scaling programs skip these crucial first steps. We don’t. That’s why our clients consistently increase their fees by 200-300% while working less.
