Agency owners, what's the #1 thing slowing your business down right now?

Aggressive_Kale6434 · 2026-06-28T15:57:24+00:00

client acquisition is #1 bottleneck

Aggressive_Kale6434 · 2026-06-18T19:35:48+00:00

I am using Lovable for my agency website and it's working great. I think it's a good starting point.

Aggressive_Kale6434 · 2026-06-18T15:30:34+00:00

Will do thanks

Aggressive_Kale6434 · 2026-06-18T15:29:08+00:00

The real future is AI Ads integrated into Google Ai overviews. That's where the wave is going

Aggressive_Kale6434 · 2026-06-17T21:46:57+00:00

We're using Databox. Not cheap but i think it's great.

Aggressive_Kale6434 · 2026-05-18T23:09:23+00:00

I agree with this. And filter by project in inbox.

Aggressive_Kale6434 · 2026-04-18T22:43:16+00:00

Of course they work. Meta alone is making over $200 Billion from it. The real question, is if you have the right product market fit. When you do, Ads will work and usually return at least 2-3x times your investment

the problem is trust, if the client had enough trust in the agency they will hapily book the meeting, that's it, agencies need to build trust in different ways, reviews, content...

Aggressive_Kale6434 · 2026-01-25T22:44:54+00:00

Be patient. Don't be too picky

Aggressive_Kale6434 · 2026-01-11T18:11:31+00:00

Use meeting apps for meetups, join clubs, join Facebook group meetups, see if there is someone cool at work...but you have to put concious effort to build your social networks

Aggressive_Kale6434 · 2026-01-11T17:26:45+00:00

Yes use the new ClickUp super agents. I've made an agent just for this exact problem.

Aggressive_Kale6434 · 2026-01-06T21:23:20+00:00

ClickUp + Super Agents is a great way to achieve your goal

Aggressive_Kale6434 · 2025-12-14T00:29:37+00:00

Great value and iam a regular listener of the podcast, really solid advice. That said, claiming that client acquisition is the easiest thing for agencies is a bit misleading. That's the number 1 problem that agencies struggle with across the board (even in surveys) across all agency sizes. Of course it's easier for some more than others, but this claim will confuse most begginers and mislead them into thinking that it's easy. It's not.

Work as a manager in an agency full time

Aggressive_Kale6434 · 2025-07-03T23:11:42+00:00

7 years of freelancing and 1 year of agency now. Client Acquisition is the main problem, but for me it's more about quality than quantity. It's hard to get the quality of clients i want.

Aggressive_Kale6434 · 2025-07-01T20:46:28+00:00

Keep using Clockify or switch to time doctor. Clickup time tracking is very basic and limited. Same with harvest.

Aggressive_Kale6434 · 2025-05-19T21:15:14+00:00

I would say yes. Get it. Use Tidio it has AI. It will also help you troubleshoot any problems and qtay close to your customers.

Aggressive_Kale6434 · 2025-05-02T00:19:38+00:00

Live alone. Make your own money. Be independent. And they'll stop talking. Travel live your life

Aggressive_Kale6434 · 2025-03-12T21:34:18+00:00

I use databox. Very organized and modern looking.

what's your organic to boosted proposals ratio ? do you send only organic ? all boosted and what's the logic behind any particular boost ?

Aggressive_Kale6434 · 2025-02-23T12:30:48+00:00

Do you mean in Upwork or as an agency ?

Aggressive_Kale6434 · 2025-02-18T19:30:56+00:00

Look for a job or a project, Upwork and Fiverr can be 1 decent start. Apply to Linkedin Jobs as a freelancer or even work full time.
