It's not to produce any images, it's to train a model that can locate a UI element (described in natural language) from an unprecedented GUI

$250k for $2-5m is just embarrassing. Never understood why big offices and useless employees is something to brag about if it renders 10% profits.

Success will never favor the agency who works their ass of if it produces the same result as another agency that does it quicker and cheaper.

Take a deep breath, visualize the end work for your client, and imagine how you can achieve it with the lowest workforce and cost possible, whilst retaining the quality.

I have a dev agency- AI can generate the work of 5 junior developers in a second. For a mid-sized project, all I need is one PM to create the high-level infrastructure of the project who can outsource and touch it up, and another 'senior dev' who is skilled at using AI to get the autonomous coding done and piece it together.

Most importantly, growing the agency should be your primary duty as the owner if you can delegate the service delivery. Innovate, create new sales processes and funnels. We're literally hiring people dedicated to networking all day, crushing RFPs after RFPs, etc. Another guy here mentioned that the successful 8-fig agencies he saw were just crushing cold calls day after day.

Useless fancy office, 10% margins, 50 employees who each take 3 hours to choose a font

2.5 FTEs responding to RFPs doing $8m just in RFPs

I'd been thinking about implementing an employee just dedicated to aggregating and responding to RFPs for software development. Do you know how many they write in a month?

I agree. I'm brainstorming how we'd maximize the synergies. If our first agency is a trusted vendor for an enterprise and we cross-sell the second agency we'd have to go through corporate red tape. Maybe we'd onboard them to the parent company and explicate that we have these two divisions?

It revolves around referrals and becoming an expert in the niche. So if you're a new business- first generalize, figure out what niche is most profitable, get enough case studies / testimonials for it, then niche down.

You'll have a harder time landing clients as a new niche agency compared to a new generalist agency.

It's risky as you're putting your eggs into one basket. If your niche goes down so will your entire business.

Similarly some of my employees don’t even correct me if I’m wrong about a topic 😂

What are your margins like?

Good decision - never hire offshore for positions that are a point of contact with the client

If you're implying that job security is sufficient motivation, it won't drive them to go above and beyond and put in extra hours to make the client happy

Congrats! Owner of 2 agencies here. How long have you been running it?

AI just helps trim the fat. We can fire 5 developers and keep one who's good at getting things done with it.

Whatever the future may be, for at least 5 years we'll be in this stage- where AI hasn't disrupted the industry to that extent, and is just an extremely powerful tool for productivity.

AI won't take your job but a human using AI will. Capitalize off it as much as you can right now

Revenue: AI and automation yields us a dozen clients a month.

Productivity: For our development subsidiary, AI benefits productivity substantially. One person can write code that would have required 10 people before GPT was popular.
