Changes In Google = Changes In Your Agency

So, over the past few months, there have been quite a few changes in the world.  (That’s the understatement of the century, right?) There has been one significant change that you may not have noticed… …but I guarantee that most — if not ALL — of the local businesses in your area have. You see, […]

I’ve Got News For You

Since I began my agency… (It’s been 17 years now — time flies!) People have always asked me —  “Mike, how did you know you were ready to start an agency?” Of course, there are variations on this basic question, such as… …how did I know it was the right time to do my own […]

Back To Basics

What if I were to tell you that I think the conditions in our country are actually good for us? I don’t mean that it’s good to be cooped up, or good to be separated from your family and friends… But yesterday morning, as my wife was trimming our son’s hair with craft scissors, I […]

Thinking Abundant in Uncertain Times

I got an email this morning from someone who is considering joining one of our programs. She expressed concern about investing in her business amid the uncertainty that’s being created in the wake of COVID-19.   While I hope your world is filled with abundant thinkers, if you come across any clients or prospects who need […]

Why do your clients hire you?

Do they choose to work with you because you know all the answers? Like, you’re a genius and you know everything about websites, marketing, etc.? OR… Is it that they hire you because you know how to FIND the answer? I don’t care who it is… Clients, Employees, Friends, Students, Family members, etc… The reason […]

How do you grow your agency without also growing a sales team?

And, if you have someone on your team that is responsible for sales, how do you help them be more effective? These are the questions I asked myself… And that led me to design my own Strategic Alliance Army. It’s my agency’s client referral network, and… it sends our agency (great) leads, and… … many […]
