HUGE CLIENT WIN ($250,000 Deal?) David Peterson, one of our latest clients has a big win that I’d like to share with you all. But before that, a quick question for you… What’s the difference between people who succeed and those who don’t? Successful people take action, while losers complain. They take one step after another toward their dreams and don’t stop until they succeed. And one of my high-level clients, David Peterson, is the living proof of it. A few months ago, he joined Launch My Agency. David has a business background, and he already had reached success… So I wondered: “Why does he still want to achieve more?” Well, his answer surprised me and I knew we had to work together. He said he wanted to build a profitable business to have time to enjoy his wife and grandkids, and we instantly clicked… And guess what? A few months later, the results are nothing short of extraordinary. He closed one deal with a chiropractor worth anywhere from $15000 to $30000, but he didn't stop there. He closed another deal for another $7000 to $15000 per month depending on performances. With these two deals alone, he is bound to collect anywhere from $85000 to 180000 dollars… But you can't stop a man on a mission if you give him the tools to make his dreams come true, and that's what happened with him. David just told us he is about to close 2 more deals that will help him break the $250k revenue target per year. All this in just a few months working together. Why did that happen? Well, when you combine proven methods with work ethic and relentlessness, this is what you get… And you could be the next one to experience similar results if you want to. The only caveat? You need to put the work in. So, If you are ready to work to achieve your goals just like David did… Then, go to our YouTube channel, https://lnkd.in/dzjHJjyq and hit that subscribe button. I can’t wait to help you build the business you’ve been dreaming of, Zarar “You can do it too” Ameen.

Are legacy clients holding you back? Here's a conversation I have daily with agency owners: "We charge $5,000/month for our core service." "Great! With 10 clients, you must be doing $50k monthly?" "Well, actually..." The truth? Most are juggling a mix of rates - $1,500 here, $2,000 there, maybe one at $5k if they're lucky. Legacy clients are both a blessing and a curse: - Blessing: Stable income, loyalty - Curse: Undercharging, over-servicing Result? You're working harder for less profit. Want to break free from this cycle? It starts with a hard look at your pricing strategy and client roster. What's holding your agency back?

Don't let your next big win become your last. Let me tell you about Tom's agency. (Name changed, story real) Tom's marketing agency hit $2.5M in revenue last year. This year, they're filing for bankruptcy. What happened? They succeeded themselves to death. Month 1: Started selling to a new industry and got a LOT of new clients Month 2: Hired rapidly to deliver Month 3: Quality started slipping Month 4: Started losing existing clients Month 5,6,7: Cash flow crunch between new hires and revenue drop Month 8: Game over Before you launch that new marketing campaign, ask yourself: Can my operations handle 2x growth? Are my processes documented? Can my team make decisions without me? Do I have quality control measures? Your capacity to deliver is your real growth ceiling, not your market size.

A lot of agency owners boast about their revenue numbers. What people don’t realise is you can still make lots of money providing S&%T service. Not actually getting businesses results. Banking set up fees and stringing business along with lies about testing periods until they eventually leave.  All the agency growth GURUS will tell you the next hack to get more clients. Not a F&%KING soul tells you how to keep them. Because that’s not the shiny stuff. But for me, building fucking incredible client relationships is key to the sustainable growth of We Scale Trades. Alongside getting incredible results of course. I guess that’s part of the recipe of keeping most clients 1.5 to 2 years. Without any long term contracts. Whilst the majority of other home improvement agencies can’t see past the 3 month mark. On Thursday I flew to London and we nailed a brilliant ad content refresher day down in Reading. We followed that up with a curry and a few pints with the New Views Landscaping boys. Friends, not clients. 99% sure Robbie paid just because we generated him £137k in 60 days though 😂 Can you truly build an incredible relationship with someone through a screen?

I spent 463 days building a business with *only* free value. Here's the results Month 1 Lots of research → No execution Month 2 Business partner left, all prospects said no → Gave up. 🤦🏽♂️ Month 6 Old Instagram management client wants paid traffic → Ran a killer free trial campaign at 8x ROAS Month 8 Client doesn't stay on, waking up everyday early to cold call → Booked 0 meetings, no clients and brink of giving up for good Month 14 Partnered with Freddie Potticary and everything changed We signed 5 clients in less than a month, built a family of 6 people, returned 4x ROI for one client and scaled another agency from 0 → $12,500 p/m And the sad thing is everybody is afraid to explain why 1. Business is a war of attrition, it's more important to not give up then focus on what scripts and copys work the best 2. Whether it's YouTube or LinkedIn, nobody gives away resources of value for free because it's genuinely counterintuitive. Freddie knew that and invested in paid courses and communities so I didn't have The solution, network with people to get real free value, this year I was introduced to many people who helped me along the way the first being Deborah Mungai, Oliver Waters, Mark Orr and some of my entrupenuerial friends like Waris, Jiya, Gustav and Marcella P.S. Only real ones remember this cold calling session, my first ever booked appointment

If you're part of a business doing 100M+/year, I want to send you 10 absolutely free leads. If you're wondering what the "catch" is, there is none. I will build the campaign, and put the adspend all on my personal card. The reason I'm doing this is because I am looking to add some clients to my "one man band" pay per lead agency, and what better way to do that than simply delivering free leads to you on the front end? The thought process is that if you like the leads enough, you might just want to continue! If you want to learn more simply click the link below: https://lnkd.in/giDRRz5D

Did we make a mistake? Yesterday we heard we'd been shortlisted to pitch for a client we've been wanting to work with for years! YES!! The concept we've built for them is really clever (I didn't do the creative, but it's very, very good!). The catch? The pitch is tomorrow: that's 48 hours between notification and the actual presentation of the ideas we submitted weeks ago. But the real killer? We have 45 mins in total to get in, present, create a rapport, and get out. Oh, and it is 4 hours travel EACH WAY to get to this 45 min pitch. For us, this means re-jigging existing, loyal clients to push their planned, promised work back. So, we declined the offer, and will let the other (now) 5 agencies battle it out. Some of you will be reading this and I wish you the very best. I worked in-house for 6 years before coming over to agency, and I've zero idea how an in-house team can choose the best agency for them with a 45 min meeting. You've got to want to answer the phone to your agency most days of the week, for at least 12 months. You've got to have faith we'll deliver. You've got to meet the actual people you'll be dealing with, not the people who are available at short notice. How can you judge this in 45 mins? I lay in bed last night kicking myself, but then thought about the consequences if we'd said yes...what about our current clients who gave us a lot longer than 45 mins to convince them we're the best agency for them? What about our people who suddenly are down to less than a 4 day week (but still have a full 5 days of work so we don't let our current clients down)? **So what does this mean? Well, we have an amazing idea for a brand wanting to target the plumbing/heating sector!!! If you've got a budget of around £50k and want to hear it, we are here!!! Come and talk to us!** We did the right thing, as much as it's killing me to say it! I'm proud that we are Refresh.
