The Build Agency’s Post

Two client wins this week and I couldn't be more proud. ✅ Client A Consultant. Quit his teaching job in August and has been working hard on his business to get clients. Two client meetings in the past two weeks. One of the meetings resulted in RECURRING revenue (we didn't think his business would have recurring revenue) and was the source of this text. ✅ Client B Freelancer. Had two calls with a potential client. Potential client agreed to her TOP TIER package. This now puts her at capacity and we can explore turning her business into an agency. She has now 3x'd (almost 4x'd) her revenue from working together on her strategy. These wins lit me up. Money is still flowing. There is abundance out there. You need to have the right strategies in place, the right methods for gaining clients and most importantly, the right person in your corner who can help you build your successful-to-you business. DM me WIN so that I can also get texts from you that make me proud.
